The mushroom genera in the family
Entolomataceae The Entolomataceae are a family of fungi in the order Agaricales. The family contains eight genera and 2250 species, the majority of which are in ''Entoloma''. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are typically agaricoid (mushrooms with gills), but a mino ...

Entoloma ''Entoloma'' is a genus of fungi in the order Agaricales. Called pinkgills in English, basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are typically agaricoid (gilled mushrooms), though a minority are gasteroid. All have salmon-pink basidiospores which colour the ...
''. There have been many different classifications of this group, and so the table below includes not only genera which are supposedly current, but also other proposed genera whose names have been important. For instance several taxa such as ''Leptonia'' and ''Nolanea'' were defined as independent genera, and are still sometimes used as such, but in recent classifications they have been demoted to being subgenera of ''Entoloma''. Previously there was a view that Entolomataceae with angular (polyhedral) spores should be classified in genus ''

Rhodocybe ''Rhodocybe'' is a genus of fungi in the family Entolomataceae. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are agaricoid (gilled mushrooms) producing pink basidiospores that are unevenly roughened or pustular under the microscope. Species are saprotrophic and m ...

Clitopilus ''Clitopilus'' is a genus of fungi in the family Entolomataceae. The genus has a widespread distribution, especially in northern temperate areas. Although a 2008 estimate suggested about 30 species in the genus, a more recent publication (2009) u ...
''. However DNA studies in 2009 and 2017 have changed this situation for the ''Rhodocybe''/''Clitopilus'' group. Firstly ''Clitopilus'' was found to be a clade embedded within ''Rhodocybe'' meaning that to avoid

these genera have to be merged, and although ''Clitopilus'' is much smaller, its name takes precedence and should be used for the combined taxon. Secondly on further analysis taking account of morphological characteristics, the older genera ''Clitopilopsis'' and ''
Rhodophana ''Rhodophana'' is a genus of mushroom-forming fungi in the family Entolomataceae. It originally described as a genus in 1947 by Robert Kühner, but the description was invalid until it was re-published in 1971, though as a subgenus of ''Rhodocybe ...

Entocybe ''Entocybe'' is a genus of agaric fungi in the family Entolomataceae. It was circumscribed in 2011 to contain several former ''Entoloma'' species having obscurely angular spores with 6–10 angles (some formerly classified as ''Rhodocybe''). Based ...

and so they should be regarded as accepted. In spite of these changes ''Entoloma'' is an enormous genus, and it is not surprising that attempts have been made to split it up.

To see if this is a current genus, click on the type species and then on "Species Fungorum synonymy"; this is a current genus only if the current name of the type species uses this genus. Species Fungorum can have species marked as current but with an obsolete genus name (but that is not possible for the type species). These orphaned species have not had the new combination defined for them, usually because they are very old names of which the meaning is unclear.
