Papillate pinkgill
Entoloma papillatum
A species of Pinkgills.
The bell-shaped cap, often featuring a small central bump, is a key characteristic of the Papillate pinkgill, which thrives predominantly in areas rich with moss or grass. A defining trait of this species is its production of pink spores. Typically observed in temperate climates during the fall, its delicate gills connect to a thin stalk. Its striking yet fragile appearance often catches the eye of those exploring forests or admiring nature during this period.
