Gymnopaxillus is a genus of fungi in the family Serpulaceae. According to the Dictionary of the Fungi (10th edition, 2008), the family contains four species found in temperate South America and Australia.[1] Gymnopaxillus was circumscribed by mycologist Egon Horak in 1966 with G. morchelliformis as the type species.[2] G. crubensis, described from Argentina, was added in 1989,[3] while the Australasian species G. nudus and G. vestitus were added to the genus in 2001.[4]
