Pinkgill sp.

Description:

http://mushroomobserver.org/130065?q=1Bv... the biggest one was 5cm across and there is a faint brownish tint on the caps of some of them (see top of 2nd photo). I don't think the brown is from spores being dropped by other fruitbodies because there was no other mushroom near the big one (second photo) yet it's still got a brown tint. Spore print was pink. This is the same spotting but earlier in the year: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/191... It was most likely growing in acidic condition due to it being in the midst of lots of Rhododendron ponicum which produces an acidic humus. I've tried to plant some more by cutting the 'stem buds' off the bottom of the mushrooms and digging a couple of holes further into the Rhody thicket. I put the soil back in gently hoping that the aeration will help the mycelium grow. I should have watered them

Notes:

cy1 - I have a sample for now but I've kept the sample from the original spotting: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/191... Entoloma jubatum? Entoloma saundersii? Entoloma rhodopolium? Entoloma aprile? not E. nitidum since rogersmushrooms says 'Scent and taste mild'. E. plebejum (google images are mostly a lot paler than this spotting)? E. porphyrophaeum? E. jubatum?
