==Taxonomy== Elias Magnus Fries first circumscribed Crepidotus in 1821 as a tribe in the genus Agaricus, although he later (1836–1838) revised his concept. In 1857, Staude elevated Tribus Crepidotus to a genus, with Agaricus mollis (Schaeff) as the type species. Early descriptions of the genus contained between six and forty-six species, depending on the author.
