The Mycetopodidae are a family of freshwater pearly mussels in the order Unionida restricted to South America.[1][2] They are named for the mushroom-like shape of their foot. Like all members of the Unionida they reproduce via a larval stage that temporarily parasitizes fish. Banarescu lists four subfamilies with ten genera in total.[2]

Four subfamilies are recognized.[2][3]
