Crepidotus is a genus of fungi in the family Crepidotaceae. Species of Crepidotus all have small, convex to fan-shaped sessile caps and grow on wood or plant debris. The genus has been studied extensively, and monographs of the North American,[3] European,[4][5] and Neotropical[6] species have been published.

Crepidotus means cracked ear in latin.[7]
