Volvopluteus gloiocephalus is a species of mushroom in the family Pluteaceae. For most of the 20th century it has been known under the names "Volvariella gloiocephala" or "Volvariella speciosa", but recent molecular studies have placed it as the type species of the genus "Volvopluteus", newly created in 2011.
