Leucocoprinus cepistipes (often spelled cepaestipes), is a species of fungus in the family Agaricaceae. It is also known by the common name onion-stalk parasol in reference to the bulbous stem base. It is typically found on wood debris, such as wood chips but may also grow in potted plants or greenhouses. Typical characteristics include a fine-scaled bell-shaped cap, a partial veil, and a tendency to bruise a yellow to brown when handled.

The species is edible, but not very palatable and may be easily confused for toxic species.^[1]
