This family is distinguished from others family's by having pink angled spores. The entoloma genus in particular is large with over 60 named species and there seams to be lots of undescribed species. In an attempt to get this group into some sort of order these pages have been divide up according to fruiting body shape. Its has come to my notice that the keys I have been using to identify the brown entoloma's had a number of errors in it. This presently places some doubt over the names given. Unfortunately the original collections are now in our National Herbarium (PPD) who wont let me borrow them back for rechecking!
