Myochromella is a mushroom genus in the family Lyophyllaceae that has been segregated from both Lyophyllum and Tephrocybe using molecular analyses and was first informally labelled clade 'mycochromella' or section 'Tephrophana p.p.' before being recognized as a genus. The species resemble grey colored Collybias and grow in forests.
The name Myochromella is coined from Latin in reference to myo- (mouse), chromo-(color) and -ella (small), hence "little mouse color".
