Entoloma griseocyaneum is a
IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.[1]
Taxonomy
The species was first
mycologist Elias Magnus Fries in 1821 as Agaricus griseocyaneus. German mycologist Paul Kummer transferred it to the genus Entoloma
in 1871.
Description
Similar species
Entoloma isborscanum is superficially similar, but can be distinguished microscopically by having a sterile lamella edge with abundant
cheilocystidia.[4] Entoloma scabropellis, which lacks blue colours on the stipe, is said to be a synonym of Entoloma griseocyaneum based on DNA analysis.[1]
Distribution and habitat
The Felted Pinkgill is rare but widespread in Europe.[1] Like many other European pinkgills, it occurs in old, agriculturally unimproved, short-sward grassland (pastures and lawns).
Conservation
Entoloma griseocyaneum is typical of waxcap grasslands, a declining habitat due to changing agricultural practices. As a result, the species is of global conservation concern and is listed as "vulnerable" on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.[1]
