Kuehneromyces is a genus of agaric fungi in the family Strophariaceae.[1] The genus was circumscribed by mycologists Rolf Singer and Alexander H. Smith in 1946.
The genus name of Kuehneromyces is in honour of Robert Kühner (1903-1996), who was a French mycologist most notable for reviewing many agaric.[2]
The genus includes Kuehneromyces mutabilis, which – despite a deadly poisonous lookalike – is a popular edible mushroom in Europe that can also be cultivated on wood.
