Entoloma species ID hints needed

[RobSutton]

I'm pretty sure this is an Entoloma species but then where?

I'm sure the only real answer is going to be microscopy but are there any hints of how to narrow the field from macroscopic characters?



It was growing in calcareous grassland, spore print pink, no odd smells, c2.5cm cap diameter.

Hi Rob - yes, it's an Entoloma in sect. Cyanula - the blackish edged lamellae indicate that it will turn out to be either E. serrulatum or E. chalybaeum I would suppose !

I agree with Nick - I had the same mushroom when I went on the dunes recently
