Entoloma clypeatum? Shield pinkgill


Gillian

Recommended Posts

Many of these growing in lines on the forest floor today. Dry, radially cracked caps ( don't seem to have knobs), satin sheen on caps and stems (almost like a crust of bread), attached gills, gills not closely spaced and not all continuous. No smell that I can distinguish. 

Getting a spore print now...looks like it will be pinkish but it's slow. I have it beside a Pluteus cervinus and the latter is a totally different texture and easily dropping its spores.

More data...spore print is pinkish brown, virtually the same colour as Pluteus cervinus ( side by side in the photo), maybe a bit darker. Under the microscope the spores are a bit angular and larger compared to P. Cervinus (both shown for comparison at 400x, Pluteus first, Entoloma second ).

Any other genera this could be?

Nice comparison between genera Entoloma and Pluteus. The spore photos seal the deal here. Although a bit out of focus, the Entoloma spores are seen to have irregular/angular profiles. In the photo showing the inverted caps I can see the free gills of the Pluteus and the attached gills of the Entoloma. Indeed, the spore print colors are similar. A few years ago, at a foray of our local club here in NE PA, a member almost mistook a large gray Entoloma --with sinuate gill attachment, ie. attached to the stalk by a thread-- for a Pluteus. I took the mushroom home and settled any such question by scoping the spores.

Dave, I initially got it from my "Mushrooms of Ontario and Eastern Canada" field guide, then online from several sources:

https://www.first-nature.com/fungi/entoloma-clypeatum.php

http://www.mushrooms.su/en/entoloma_clypeatum.htm (this site also lists several other names for it as well, both Latin and Russian)

http://www.mycobank.org/MB/193495

https://www.inaturalist.org/taxa/344650-Entoloma-clypeatum/browse_photos 

I didn't find a reference to it on https://www.mushroomexpert.com/entoloma.html but I thought perhaps it has been reclassified. The date on my Field Guide is 1999.

Thank you, Gillian. At last I can confirm what those are! I found mine in south west UK. Spore print cinnamon, but the image I have of that is rubbish.
