Description The first records of Clitocybula familia from the Czech and Slovak Republics were studied and compared with the type specimen of C. familia var. compressa and several North-American collections of var. familia using macro- and microscopic characters as well as molecular data (LSU rDNA). All the collections were identical. Therefore, there is no need to recognise var. familia and var. compressa, as they represent the same taxon. Detailed macro- and microscopic descriptions are given. In Europe, the species grows on strongly decayed fallen trunks of Abies alba and Picea abies. All four Central-European localities represent valuable old-growth forests. Therefore, this species may be a bioindicator of such environments.
