Macrolepiota is a genus of white spored gilled mushrooms of the family Agaricaceae. The best known member is the parasol mushroom (M. procera). The genus has a widespread distribution and contains about 30 species.[1]

Recent DNA studies have split this genus into two clades. The first includes M. procera, M. mastoidea, M. clelandii and closely related species, while the second clade is more diverse and includes M. rhacodes, Chlorophyllum molybdites and many others.[2]

Macrolepiota albuminosa is eaten in Chinese cuisine, where it is called jīzōng (鸡枞; literally "chicken fir tree").
