Cleistocybe is a genus of fungi in the family Biannulariaceae. ^[1] Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are agaricoid, similar to those of Clitocybe , but with ephemeral traces of a partial veil and decurrent lamellae that are often greyish. The genus is separated on DNA characteristics as well as morphology. ^[2] Species are known from North America, Europe, North Africa, and Tibet. ^{[2] [3] [4] [5] [1]}
