Phaeolepiota is a genus of fungi in the family Squamanitaceae. The genus is monotypic, containing the single species Phaeolepiota aurea. Commonly known as golden bootleg or golden cap, P. aurea is an agaric (gilled mushroom) found throughout North America and Eurasia – often in groups[1] and next to nettles.[2] Molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences, shows that Phaeolepiota is close to and may be congeneric with Cystoderma.[3][4]
