'''''Panellus''''' is a genus of fungi in the family Mycenaceae. The species are small to medium, typically pleurotoid and sometimes bioluminescent.

==Taxonomy== There are more than 50 species in the genus as defined molecularly.<ref name="Species Fungorum Panellus"/><ref name=Moncalvo2002/><ref name="Matheny 2006"/><ref name=Jin2001/><ref name=Johnson2006/><ref name=Petersen2008/> Prior to molecular analyses the generic name had been used for any white-spored ''pleurotoid'' with amyloid spores. Unrelated but similar species are now classified in ''Sarcomyxa'' and ''Scytinotus''. In older guides and other literature the type species had been placed in either ''Pleurotus'' or ''Panus'' and the poroid species had been classified in the synonymous genus ''Dictyopanus'' or in broadly defined genera like ''Polyporus'' (Polyporaceae) or the more closely allied ''Favolaschia'' (Mycenaceae). The closest molecular allies are ''Resinomycena'' and ''Cruentomycena''.<ref name=Moncalvo2002/><ref name=Petersen2008/>

==Description== The fruit bodies of ''Panellus'' species are small- or medium-sized and in most cases ''pleurotoid'', meaning they grow on wood, have gills (some species have pores instead of gills), and usually form semicircular or kidney-shaped caps that may be either directly attached to the wood, or connected by short stipes. The stipe is usually connected to the side of the cap, or off-center. The gills on the underside of the cap usually radiate outward from the attachment point, or may be strongly interveined to form a reticulum. The spores are hyaline (white in deposit), thin-walled, smooth and amyloid.<ref name=Bursdall1975/><ref name=Desjardin2008/> ''Panellus'' is one of several genera in the Mycenaceae that are bioluminescent.<ref name=Desjardin2008/><ref name=Macrae1937/><ref name=Macrae1942/> {{clear}}
