Floccularia is a genus of fungi in the order Agaricales. There are four recognized species in the genus, which have a widespread distribution, especially in northern temperate regions.[1] Two former species are now classified as a Cercopemyces and an Amanita (or more specifically an Aspidella, Amanitaceae). Floccularia was circumscribed by Czech mycologist Zdeněk Pouzar in 1957.[2]
