Descriptions

Anon.: NZFUNGI (unassigned reference).

Entoloma (Fr.) P. Kumm. 1871

Notes

Small to medium sized, always on soil, cap smooth, gills attached to stalk, stalk central, without ring, spore print pink (gills typically with pinkish bloom when mature).

More than 60 species have been reported for New Zealand. Often difficult to identify to species level. Colour is an important character, but the differences in colour are often subtle, and colour is influenced by age of the mushroom, and its exposure to rain and sun. A few of the common species are illustratated below to give a feel for the variety within the genus.

There are other common pink-spored mushrooms on soil which can sometimes be distinguished with certainty only by using microscopic characters, and these include Rhodocybe (most species large, and most with the cap sunken in the centre), Volvariella (see Large Mushrooms on Soil), and Lepista (larger, in New Zealand known only from urban situations).

Notes

A large genus of mostly small mushrooms, common on soil throughout New Zealand's forests. Characterised by pink, angular spores. Although the genus is easy to recognise, individual species are often difficult to identify, with subtle differences in colour of the cap and stalk.

About 60 species have been reported from New Zealand, only those listed below have descriptions or images available from NZFungi.

Richoniella Costantin & L.M. Dufour 1916

Notes

A truffle-like fungus with pink, angular spores. Phylogenetically related to Entoloma.

Richoniella Costantin & L.M. Dufour 1916

Description

Gasterocarp globose, ellipsoid, tuberiform or irregular, basally attached. Peridium pale-coloured, glabrous, dry, not separable, indehiscent or occasionally so in old specimens. Gleba white becoming pinkish brown, labyrinthoid to loculate, with empty, irregular chambers, lacking any radial arrangement. Tramal plates broad, gelatinized or not. Clamp-connexions absent. Columella absent or sometimes partially developed; sterile base absent or very occasional. Spore deposit pinkish brown. Spores heterotropic, statismosporic, iso- or heterodiametric, angular, with well defined facets, smooth. Basidia cylindric to ventricose, bearing two or four sterigmata. Hymenophoral trama regular, hyaline, partially gelatinized or not. Subhymenial layer poorly developed. Peridiopellis a poorly differentiated, narrow, repent epicutis. Development angiocarpic. Distribution World-wide, rare. Hypogeal or subepigeal.

Typification

Type species: Richoniella leptoniispora (Richon) Costant. & Dufour [= Hymenogaster leptoniisporus Richon].
