Lepista is a deprecated[1] genus of mushrooms, formerly grouped in the large genus Tricholoma and more recently found to be a synonym of Clitocybe.[2] However, Clitocybe itself appears polyphyletic and may have to be split. According to the Dictionary of the Fungi (10th edition, 2008), the widespread genus contains about 50 species.[3]
