Lepista

Lepista is a genus of mushroom-forming fungi. According to the Dictionary of the Fungi (10th edition, 2008), the widespread genus contains about 50 species.[1] In 1969, Howard Bigelow and Alex H. Smith made the group a subgenus of Clitocybe.[2]

For the moth genus, see Lepista (moth).

A 2015 genetic study found that the genera Collybia and Lepista were closely related to the core clade of Clitocybe, but that all three were polyphyletic, with many members in lineages removed from other members of the same genus and instead more closely related to the other two. Alvarado and colleagues declined to define the genera but proposed several options and highlighted the need for a wider analysis.[3]
