Entoloma aethiops sensu G. Stev. 1962
This species is described and illustrated by Bresadola, Icon. Mycol. 12, t. 569/2.
These four species [placidum, lampropodum, asprellum, aethiops] have not been collected recently in New Zealand and are not represented in my herbarium. As the material on which the determinations were made over fifty years ago no longer remains at Kew, some doubt may be entertained about the records till these species are collected again.
Entoloma asprellum sensu G. Stev. 1962
Recorded by Massee, (1898).
These four species [placidum, lampropodum, asprellum, aethiops] have not been collected recently in New Zealand and are not represented in my herbarium. As the material on which the determinations were made over fifty years ago no longer remains at Kew, some doubt may be entertained about the records till these species are collected again.
Entoloma colensoi G. Stev. 1962
Pileus 3.5 cm. diam., purple brown, plano-convex, covered with a close cottony weft. Gills adnexed, moderately distant, creamy becoming pink. Stipe 5.5 x 0.5 cm., tapering upwards, cottony-striate, purple above to white at bulbous base. Spores strongly angled 4-5 x 6-8um; print dark-pink; no cystidia.
in litter under mixed forest, Waikanae, 1.1.1951, Stevenson.
Pileus 3.5 cm. diam., brunneo-vinosus, plano-convexus, tela gossypina densa obtectus. Lamellae adnexae, subdistantes, e cremeo rubescentes. Stipes 5-5 x 0.5 cm., sursum attenuatus, gossypino-striatus, vinosus, basin bulbosam versus albidus. Sporae 4-5 x 6-8um, valde angulatae, in cumulo obscure roseae. Cystidia nulla.
Stevenson 791
Entoloma congregatum G. Stev. 1962
Pileus 3-5 cm. diam., deep olivaceous, hemispherical or broadly conical at first, then becoming plane, waxy, moist, drying sub-fibrillose; flesh thin, whitish to olive-brown. Gills adnate, moderately distant, long and short intercalated, creamy becoming pink. Stipe 5-7 x 0.75-1 cm., creamy to light fawn, hollow, rather brittle, silky-striate. Spores angled, 8 x 10um; print dark-pink; no cystidia.
HABITAT: rooting in leaf-mould in groups under native and exotic trees, Levin, 18.6.1949, Stevenson; and Nelson, 18.4.1959 & 30.5. 1956, D. Read.
Pileus 3-5 cm. diam., atro-olivaceus, primo hemisphaericus vel late conicus, demum explanatus, ceraceus, humidus, exsiccando subfibrillosus; caro tenui, ex albida olivacea. Lamellae adnatae, subdistantes, aliae longae aliae breviores intercalatae, e cremeo roseolae. Stipes 5-7 x 0.75-1 cm., e cremeo dilute hinnuleus, sericeo-striatus, cavus, subfragilis. Sporae 8-10um, angulatae, in cumulo obscure roseae. Cystidia nulla.

Entoloma haastii G. Stev. 1962
Pileus 3.5 cm. diam., sooty blue, broadly conical, moist, finely wrinkled; flesh thin, grey. Gills adnexed, moderately distant, greyish sky blue becoming stained pink. Stipe 4.5-6 x 0.3-1 cm., dark blue above, white below, with yellow tinge near bulbous base, silky-striate, hollow. Spores angled, subspherical, 8 x 10um; print pink; no cystidia.
rooting in litter, Dun Mt., Nelson, 25.4.1949, Stevenson.
Pileus 3.5 cm. diam., atrolazulinus, late conicus, humidus, subtiliter rugulosus ; caro tenuis, grisea. Lamellae adnexae, subdistantes, griseo- caeruleae, dein roseo-tinctae. Stipes 4.5-6 x 0.3-1 cm., sursum lazulinus, deorsum albidus, sericeo-striatus, basin bulbosam versus luteo-tinctus, cavus. Sporae 8 x 10um, angulatae, subglobosae, in cumulo roseae. Cystidia nulla.
This fungus is fairly close to R. nitidus Quel. as described by Lange, but it is smaller with a less attenuated stipe, and has substantially larger spores.

Entoloma lampropus sensu G. Stev. 1962
Recorded by Massee in Trans. N.Z. Inst. 3 I : 282 (1898).
These four species [placidum, lampropodum, asprellum, aethiops] have not been collected recently in New Zealand and are not represented in my herbarium. As the material on which the determinations were made over fifty years ago no longer remains at Kew, some doubt may be entertained about the records till these species are collected again.
Entoloma mariae G. Stev. 1962
Pileus 1.5-2.5 cm., chestnut-brown, hemispherical and strongly umbilicate, silky-striate largely covered with fine velvety scales. Gills adnexed, deep, moderately crowded, pink. Stipe 4-5 cm. x 2-5 mm., dull fawn, white at base, slender, silky, hollow. Spores angled, 10 x 6um.
rooting in soil under scrub. Muritai, 29.3.1958, Marie Taylor.
Pileus 1-5-2.5 cm. diam., castaneus, hemisphaericus et valde umbilicatus, sericeo-striatus, squamulis tenuibus velutinosis copiose obtectus. Lamellae adnexae, latae, subconfertae, roseae. Stipes 4-5 cm. x 2-5 mm., sordide hinnuleus, basi albidus, gracilis, sericeus, cavus. Sporae 10x 6um, angulatae, in cumulo sordide testaceae.
This is close to A. (Leptonia) gnophodes Berk. and Br., 'Fungi of Ceylon', 1871, but the type specimen, which has been examined at Kew, shows the stipe attenuated downwards, decurrent gills, and spores 10 x 8um, consistently broader than those of this species and rather more angular.
Stevenson 1276
Entoloma niveum G. Stev. 1962
Pileus 2-4 cm. diam., snow-white, hemispherical at first, then becoming plane, covered with a fine, felt like weft; flesh creamy-white. Gills adnexed, moderately crowded, creamy becoming stained pale-pink. Stipe 3-4 cm. x 4 mm., white, with ochraceous tinge at base, silky-striate, more or less equal, solid, creamy coloured flesh continuous with that of cap. Spores strongly angled, overall shape rather cuboid, 7 x 10-11um; print dark-pink; no cystidia.
rooting in soil among litter, Johnson's Hill, Wellington, 12.9.1949, Stevenson.
Pileus 2-4 cm. diam., niveus, ex hemisphaerico explanatus, tela tomentosa delicatula vestitus; caro cremeo-albida. Lamellae adnexae, subconfertae, cremeae, dein pallide roseo-tinctae. Stipes 3-4 cm. x 4 mm., albus, basi ochraceo-tinctus, sericeo-striatus, subaequalis, solidus, carne cremea et cum carne pilei continua. S'orae 7 x 10-11um, valde angulatae, prope cubicae, in cumulo obscure roseae. Cystidia nulla.
Stevenson 642.
Entoloma placidum (Fr.) Noordel. 1981
Recorded by Colenso in Trans. N.Z. Inst. 25: 338 (1892).
These four species [placidum, lampropodum, asprellum, aethiops] have not been collected recently in New Zealand and are not represented in my herbarium. As the material on which the determinations were made over fifty years ago no longer remains at Kew, some doubt may be entertained about the records till these species are collected again.
