Neopaxillus is a genus of fungi in the family Serpulaceae. According to the Dictionary of the Fungi (10th edition, 2008), the family contains five species found in Central and South America;[1] a sixth, N. dominicanus, was reported in 2011. Molecular analysis suggests that rather than its traditional placement in the Boletales, the genus is better placed in the Agaricales as a sister group to Crepidotus (of the family Crepidotaceae).[2][3]
