Entoloma necopinatum is a species of agaric (gilled mushroom) in the family Entolomataceae. The species is currently only known from Chile, occurring in Nothofagus (southern beech) forests. Threats to its habitat have resulted in Entoloma necopinatum being assessed as globally "vulnerable" on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.[1]
Description
Basidiocarps are deep green colored agaricoids, up to 60 mm (2.4 in) tall, the cap convex and umbilicate, up to 40 mm (1.5 in) across. The cap surface is smooth and dry. The lamellae (gills) are greenish becoming greenish pink from the spores. The stipe (stem) is smooth and cap-coloured, lacking a ring. The spore print is pink, the spores (under a microscope) multi-angled, inamyloid, measuring about 8.5 to 10 by 6 to 7 μm.[2]
Conservation
Because of its rarity and threats to its habitat, the species is of global conservation concern and is listed as "vulnerable" on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.[1]
