Entoloma necopinatum is a species of agaric (gilled mushroom) in the family Entolomataceae. The species is currently only known from Chile, occurring in Nothofagus (southern beech) forests. Threats to its habitat have resulted in Entoloma necopinatum being assessed as globally "vulnerable" on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. [1]

Description

Basidiocarps are agaricoid, up to 60 mm (2.4 in) tall, the cap umbilicate, up to 40 mm (1.5 in) across. The cap surface is smooth, dry, and deep green. The lamellae (gills) are greenish becoming greenish pink from the spores. The stipe (stem) is smooth and cap-coloured, lacking a ring. The spore print is pink, the spores (under a microscope) multi-angled, inamyloid, measuring about 8.5 to 10 by 6 to 7  μm. [2]

Conservation

Because of its rarity and threats to its habitat, the species is of global conservation concern and is listed as "vulnerable" on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. [1]

<i>Hygrocybe punicea</i> Species of fungus

Hygrocybe punicea is a species of agaric in the family Hygrophoraceae. It has been given the recommended English name of crimson waxcap. The species has a European distribution, occurring mainly in agriculturally unimproved grassland. Threats to its habitat have resulted in the species being assessed as globally "vulnerable" on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Records of H. punicea from North America, East Asia, and Australia require further research to see if they represent the same species.

<i>Entoloma</i> Genus of fungi

Entoloma is a genus of fungi in the order Agaricales. Called pinkgills in English, basidiocarps are typically agaricoid, though a minority are gasteroid. All have salmon-pink basidiospores which colour the gills at maturity and are angular (polyhedral) under a microscope. The genus is large, with almost 2000 species worldwide. Most species are saprotrophic, but some are ectomycorrhizal, and a few are parasitic on other fungi. The type, Entoloma sinuatum, is one of several Entoloma species that are poisonous, typically causing mild to severe gastrointestinal illness.
