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 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.
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. [5]
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]
Clitocybe is a genus of mushrooms characterized by white, off-white, buff, cream, pink, or light-yellow spores, gills running down the stem, and pale white to brown or lilac coloration. They are primarily saprotrophic, decomposing forest ground litter. There are estimated to be around 300 species in the widespread genus.
Volvariella is a genus of fungi with deep salmon pink gills and spore prints. Description. The mushrooms lack a ring, and have an Amanita-like volva at the stem base.
Gomphidius roseus, commonly known as the rosy spike-cap or pink gomphidius, is a gilled mushroom found in Europe. Although it has gills , it is a member of the order Boletales , along with the boletes.
