Clitopilus is a genus of fungi in the family Entolomataceae. The genus has a widespread distribution, especially in northern temperate areas. Although a 2008 estimate suggested about 30 species in the genus,^[2] a more recent publication (2009) using molecular phylogenetics has redefined the genus to include many former Rhodocybe species.^[3]
