Until recently a large number of other white-spored species, some very common, were assigned to this genus, but now the majority have been separated into other genera: Gymnopus, Rhodocollybia and Dendrocollybia.
Research published November 2023 reassigned a number of species previously considered to be in the genus Clitocybe to the genus Collybia, including the edible blewit and brownit mushrooms.[4]
