Pinkgills summary

It has been an excellent year for Pinkgills and I have let the side down in not being able to id them all (microscope problems partially). However I am still confident of nine species and two of those are new. We have had Star, Silky, Scented (new), Lilac, Sepia, Chaste, Glaucus, Papillateand Dark (new). Given there were at least three I didn't get to id this year and quite a few that have previously been found here we are probably at around 20 or so species. That is an outstanding total. Next year I will get to better grips with them! Photo is the Glaucus Pinkgill (Entoloma exile) which has a useful id feature of an orange spot at the base of the stipe.
