Macrocybe is a genus of fungi in the family Callistosporiaceae. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are agarics (gilled mushrooms) and were previously referred to Tricholoma, but are all large, whitish, and saprotrophic (Tricholoma species are ectomycorrhizal). Recent molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences, has shown that the genus is a natural, monophyletic grouping, though the status of several species is uncertain. Macrocybe species have a tropical to subtropical distribution. The name is derived from the Ancient Greek words makros "long" and kube "head".

Gloioxanthomyces vitellinus is a species of agaric (gilled mushroom) in the family Hygrophoraceae. It has been given the recommended English name of glistening waxcap.

Macrocybe titans is a species of edible mushroom native to Florida, Central and South America, This mushroom was described as Tricholoma titans in 1980 by Howard E. Bigelow and J. W. Kimbrough, before being reclassified in Macrocybe in 1998. Macrocybe titans form solid, large mushrooms that grow in clumps. The cap is from 8–50 centimetres (3.1–20 in) across, with rare specimens up to 100 centimetres (40 in) in diameter. Buff-ochre with a darker centre and greyish at the margins, and becoming white with age. The crowded white to pale grey or pale brown gills are sinuate and up to 2 cm thick.

Macrocybe spectabilis is a species of mushroom-forming fungus. It is found in Mauritius, Japan, and Hawaii. It is associated with sugarcane. It and Macrocybe titans contain large concentrations of cyanide. This mushroom is listed 食用 (edible) in the book きのこ ("Mushrooms") in the series "New Yama-Kei Pocket Guide."

Macrocybe gigantea is a species of mushroom-forming fungus that is native to India (West Bengal), Pakistan, and Nepal.
