~15, see text Leucopaxillus is a genus of fairly large white-spored gilled mushrooms which are found worldwide growing on the ground in woodlands.

Less than ten species of Leucopaxillus are known to grow in North America.

No species of Leucopaxillus are known to be poisonous, but they do not have an appealing taste or texture.

[1] Members of Leucopaxillus are medium-sized to large, have a dry convex to depressed cap, an inrolled margin when young, lack a partial veil and have tough flesh.

They have white or yellowish gills which can come off in a layer, leaving the underside of the cap smooth.
