'''''Gerhardtia''''' is a genus of fungi in the family Lyophyllaceae. It was circumscribed in 1994 by French mycologist Marcel Bon, with ''Gerhardtia incarnatobrunnea'' as the type species. It is distinguished from similar genera by having spores with an irregular outline.<ref name="Bon 1994"/> Some authorities place ''Gerhardtia'' in synonymy with ''Lyophyllum''.<ref name="urlMycoBank: Gerhardtia"/> The New Zealand species ''Gerhardtia pseudosaponacea'', described as new to science in 2014, is similar in appearance to ''Tricholoma saponaceum'', including its weakly soap-like odor.<ref name="Cooper 2014"/>
