Setulipes was a proposed genus of fungi in the family Marasmiaceae. This group of mushrooms, described by the Czech mycologist Vladimír Antonín in 1987,[1] has a widespread distribution in north temperate areas, and would contain about 25 species.[2]
In 2004, it was reported that molecular analysis indicates the type species "S. androsaceus" to lie within the genus Gymnopus.[3] In a 2010 monograph, referring to Mata's paper, Antonín himself confirmed that all the Setulipes species should be included in Gymnopus and not constitute a separate genus.[4] Also Species Fungorum agrees with this interpretation.[5]
