Kuehneromyces is a genus of agaric fungi in the family Strophariaceae. ^[1] The genus was circumscribed by mycologists Rolf Singer and Alexander H. Smith in 1946. ^[2]

The genus name of Kuehneromyces is in honour of Robert Kühner (1903-1996), who was a French mycologist most notable for reviewing many agaric. ^[3]

The best known species in the genus is K. mutabilis , the sheathed woodtuft, which – despite closely resembling the deadly galerina, Galerina marginata , – is a popular edible mushroom in Europe that can also be cultivated on wood.
