Some border mushrooms (Cantharellales), in particular representatives from the kind Leistlinge, resemble very the sheet mushrooms (Agaricales) on the first view. Like these they possess a hat with usually central handle and lamella-similar borders. But the latters are contrary to genuine lamellas only upbulging. And also the recesses between the borders are covered by the fruit layer (Hymenium), while the sheet mushrooms possess only at the surface of the lamellas a Hymenium.

At the hat lower surface of the border mushrooms is, more or less clearly pronouncedly, the Hymenophor, which can be provided smoothly (club-mushroom-well-behaved), with lamella-similar borders (Leistlinge) or with pricks (glean-mushroom-well-behaved). Velum is not present.

The border mushrooms live usually saprophytisch or in Mykorrhiza with trees.

Some kinds are edible and desired food mushrooms; dangerous toadstools are not well-known this correct.
