Fungus Families

The taxonomic families of the fungus kingdom. No family-rank taxon entity in this atlas's current catalog was identified as fungal in this pass (the taxon|family catch-all's 472 members split entirely among the other nine buckets, confirmed by reading every member's own sourced description before classifying it), so this subcategory is minted empty, ready for the fungal families a future mint or backfill wave will place here as the atlas's fungal taxonomy deepens, per ruling 792's comprehensive-coverage target. A future member belongs here when its own sourced description identifies it as a fungal family under the standard mycological classification (Index Fungorum and the Catalogue of Life), such as the gilled-mushroom family Agaricaceae or the morel family Morchellaceae, neither of which is yet minted in this atlas.
