Entoloma ochreoprunuloides from Italy, with notes on its geographical distribution and allied species

An Italian collection of E. ochreoprunuloides [= E. prunuloides var. obscurum] is described. The specimen was identified by means of morphology, and by the analysis of its nrITS sequence. The European distribution of the species is also discussed. The sequence from a single Italian specimen of E. luteobasis suggests that E. luteobasis and E. ochreoprunuloides may be conspecific.
