''Marasmius'' is a genus of mushroom-forming fungi in the family Marasmiaceae. It contains about 500 species of Agaricales, agarics, of which a few, such as ''Marasmius oreades'', are edible mushroom, edible. However, most members of this genus are small, unimpressive brown mushrooms. Their humble appearance contributes to their not being readily distinguishable to non-specialists, and they are therefore seldom collected by mushroom hunting, mushroom hunters. Several of the species are known to grow in the characteristic fairy ring pattern. The author of the genus was Elias Magnus Fries, who in 1838 classified white-spored agarics having a tough central Stipe (mycology), stipe in this taxon if they were Marcescence, marcescent, i.e. they could dry out but later revive when moistened. For Fries, marcescence — by contrast with the "wikt:putrescent, putrescent" (decomposing) nature of most mushrooms — was an important character for classification (biology), class ...
