Epicnaphus is a genus of mushroom-forming fungi in the family Marasmiaceae. The genus, circumscribed by mycologist Rolf Singer in 1960,[1] contains two species found in South America.[2] Fruitbodies of Epicnaphus species are similar in appearance to those in Marasmius section Sicci, but have a smooth hymenium and broom cells of the Rotalis-type. Singer initially included only the type species, , which was originally collected from fallen branches in a Bolivian rainforest.[1] The Argentinian species was added to the genus by Jörg Raithelhuber in 1973.
