Plicatura is a fungal genus in the order Agaricales. It is incertae sedis with respect to familial placement within the order, although Kirk and colleagues ( Dictionary of the Fungi , 10th edition, 2008) consider it likely aligned with either the Amylocorticiaceae or the Tricholomataceae. ^[1] The genus, circumscribed by Charles Horton Peck in 1872, ^[2] contains the single species Plicatura nivea (synonymous with Plicatura alni Peck 1872).
