It can also be distinguished by its pink gills; [3] the edges of the gills are the same color as the sides. [4] Viewed in deposit, such as with a spore print , the spores are pink; viewed microscopically, they are angular, with dimensions of 10 by 7 μm .
In 1886 French mycologist Lucien Quélet united all the fungi with pinkish-red adnate or sinuate gills and angular spores into a new genus Rhodophyllus (meaning "pink gill"). [7] Because his new genus included the earlier name Entoloma , Rhodophyllus is illegitimate , as noted by Donk , [ 8 ] and Entoloma was subsequently adopted to cover all ...
The gills of mature mushrooms darken to pink and then red. The largest member of its genus, [ 23 ] Entoloma sinuatum has an imposing epigeous (aboveground) fruiting body (basidiocarp), bearing a cap 6–20 cm ( 2 + 1 ⁄ 2 –6 in) wide, though diameters of 30 cm (12 in) have been recorded. [ 30 ]
The lamellae (gills) are white becoming pink from the spores. The stipe (stem) is smooth, slender, and conspicuously silvery striate, the striations often slightly twisted, lacking a ring. The spore print is pink, the spores (under a microscope) multi-angled and stellate, inamyloid, measuring about 7.5 to 13 μm across. [2]
The lamellae (gills) are white becoming pink from the spores. The stipe (stem) is smooth, finely fibrillose, white with greyish blue streaks, often yellowish at the base, lacking a ring. The spore print is pink, the spores (under a microscope) multi-angled, inamyloid, measuring about 7.5 to 9.5 by 7 to 9.5 μm. [6]
The cap margin is striate and rolled inwards. The gill attachment is adnexed or emarginate, gills are thin and 3–5 mm wide, essentially the same colour as the cap, sometimes with a yellow tint. The cylindrical stipe (stalk) is up to 5 cm (2 in) long by 0.5 cm thick, fibrillose and stuffed. The spore print is reddish-pink.
The gills are initially whitish-yellowish, later cream-colored and with a more or less pronounced pinkish tone. They are dense and are broadly attached to the stalk or slightly decurrent. They are 2-7 mm thick, smooth and not forked. [8] The spore print is cream-colored and often with pink or buff tones. [9]
The gills are brittle except in a few cases, and cannot be bent parallel with the cap without breaking. Hence the genus Russula is sometimes known colloquially as "brittle gills". [12] They have splitting gills and do not exude a milky substance at cut surfaces, contrary to the genus Lactarius. Presence of large spherical cells, 'sphaerocysts ...
