'''''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.<ref name="Singer 1948"/>
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''.<ref name="Vellinga 2003"/><ref name="Ge 2010"/>
==Uses== ''Macrolepiota procera'', the parasol mushroom, is a well-known and highly esteemed edible species in much of Europe.<ref>Parasol Mushroom - Private mushroom record of Józef Bossowski</ref>
