Leucogyrophana is a genus of fungi in the family Hygrophoropsidaceae (suborder Coniophorineae of the order Boletales).

[1] The genus was erected in 1958 to accommodate the species then known as Merulius molluscus ( Leucogyrophana mollusca).

Several more species were described, but DNA testing in 2001 found that L. mollusca was isolated genetically from the others, and most closely related instead to Hygrophoropsis.

[2] As of November 2015[update], Index Fungorum accepts 11 species of Leucogyrophana:[3] This Boletales-related article is a stub.
