Dennisiomyces is a genus of fungi in the family Tricholomataceae. Described by mycologist Rolf Singer in 1955,[1] the genus contains five species found in South America.[2]

The genus name of Dennisiomyces is in honour of Richard William George Dennis (1910 - 2003), British botanist (mycology) and plant pathologist.[3]
