Phaeolepiota is a genus of fungi in the family Squamanitaceae. The genus is monotypic, containing the single species Phaeolepiota aurea. Commonly known as Alaskan gold,[1] Alaska gold,[2] golden bootleg or golden cap, P. aurea is an agaric (gilled mushroom) found throughout North America and Eurasia – often in groups[3] and next to nettles.[4] Recent molecular phylogenetics research however, shows that Phaeolepiota is closely related to and may need to be merged into the genus Cystoderma.[5][6]
