Nolanea
Nolanea  is a genus of fungi in the order Agaricales, frequently treated as a subgenus of Entoloma. Called pinkgills in English, basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are agaricoid, mostly (but not always) mycenoid (like species of Mycena) with slender stems. All have salmon-pink basidiospores which colour the gills at maturity and are angular (polyhedral) under a microscope. Recent DNA evidence has shown that at least 87 species belong in Nolanea which has a worldwide distribution. Taxonomy
Nolanea was introduced in 1821 by the Swedish mycologist Elias Magnus Fries as a "tribe" of Agaricus comprising slender agarics with bell-shaped caps, hollow stems, and pink spores. In 1871 German mycologist Paul Kummer raised the tribe to genus level. The name has been used by many subsequent mycologists, but others have preferred to use the name Entoloma sensu lato for all fungi with pink, angular spores, retaining  Nolanea as a subgenus. Recent molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences, has shown that Nolanea, as previously defined, is paraphyletic (an artificial grouping). By excluding some species and adding others, however, Nolanea has been redefined as a monophyletic (natural) grouping. In this new sense, Nolanea has been treated either as a subgenus or as a separate genus. The redefined Nolanea excludes Entoloma rhombisporum and related species, Entoloma ameides and related species, and cuboid-spored species now placed in Entoloma subgenus Cubospora. References
