Macrolepiota is a genus of white spored, gilled mushrooms of the family Agaricaceae. The best-known member is the parasol mushroom (M. procera). The widespread genus contains about 40 species.

Taxonomy: Macrolepiota was circumscribed by Rolf Singer in 1948, with Macrolepiota procera as the type species.

DNA studies have split this genus into three clades. The macrolepiota clade includes M. procera, M. clelandii, M. dolichaula and closely related species. The macrosporae clade includes species such as M. mastoidea, M. konradii, and M. orientiexcoriata, while the volvatae clade includes M. velosa and M. eucharis.

Uses: Macrolepiota procera, the parasol mushroom, is a well-known and highly esteemed edible species in much of Europe.
