Major New Species - Big Blue Pinkgill

It's been a great year for Pinkgills but even so I would never have expected to find the elusive Big Blue Pinkgill here (Entoloma bloxamii). At first I thought it was another Mealy Pinkgill as it is on the brownish side of blue rather than steel blue as some of them are. However the stipe was definitely blue and further consideration with the help of our local expert identified the specimen as the Big Blue Pinkgill. This year has been superb for fungi so far - particularly Pinkgills.
