Limacellopsis is a small genus established in 2018 to accommodate species that are morphologically similar to Limacella but phylogenetically distinct. The type species, Limacellopsis guttata, was historically a well-known Limacella. The separation is based on multi-gene phylogenetic analyses which showed these species form a distinct lineage within the Amanitaceae.
Basidiocarps are medium to large with a dry to slightly viscid pileus (less slimy than Zhuliangomyces). The stipe typically bears a membranous annulus. The pileipellis is an ixotrichoderm. Spores are subglobose to broadly ellipsoid, hyaline, and inamyloid.

Mycology is an evolving science: names, classifications and safety information change as research advances. Entries are compiled from cited sources and reviewed, but may be incomplete or out of date — check the sources, and never rely on this library alone to identify or eat a mushroom.
