Index Fungorum number: IF 17405; Mycobank number: MB 17405
Notes – The genus Crinipellis (Marasmiaceae, Agaricales) was established by Patouillard (1900) with C. scabella (syn. Agaricus stipitarius and C. stipitaria) as the type species (Singer 1943). This genus is characterized by a presence of thick-walled, dextrinoid, hair-like terminal cells in the pileipellis (Kerekes and Desjardin 2009). The Crinipellis species has been recognized both saprotrophic and parasitic species (Singer 1943; Aime and Phillips-Mora 2005; Kerekes and Desjardin 2009). This genus comprises over 150 species and is considered to have a worldwide distribution (Kirk et al. 2008; Antonín et al. 2009; Kerekes and Desjardin 2009; Antonín and Noodeloos 2010; Antonín 2012).
