Gliophorus is a genus of agaric fungi in the family Hygrophoraceae. Gliophorus species belong to a group known as waxcaps in English, sometimes also waxy caps in North America or waxgills in New Zealand. The genus was described by Czech mycologist Josef Herink in 1958, but is currently synonymized with Hygrocybe by most standard authorities. It has, however, been adopted in New Zealand which has an unusually large number of native Gliophorus species.
