Collection examined: Vietnam, Lam Dong Prov., Lac Duong Dist., Bidoup-Nui Ba National Park, c. 2 km SSE of Klong Lanh village, path to Bidoup Mt, 12°07´33´´ N, 108°39´24´´ E, 1600 m alt., on soil in evergreen mixed forest, 25 June 2010, leg. O. Morozova, LE 262912. — Ibid., Giang Ly Ranger Station, 12°11´04´´ N, 108°41´10´´ E, 1450 m alt., on soil in evergreen mixed forest, 30 June 2010, leg. O. Morozova, LE 262931; 2 July 2010, leg. E. Popov, LE 262911. — Ibid., Langbian Mt, 12°02´35´´ N, 108°26´04´´ E, 1820 m alt., on soil in upper montane evergreen broadleaf forest, 04 July 2011, leg. Alexandrova, LE 262954

Notes: Entoloma carneum is recognized by its plano-umbilicate pileus with pinkish and purplish tints in its colouring and cuboid spores. Presence of clamp connections, oleiferous hyphae and brilliant granules in trama as well as the related yellow discoloration of context have not been mentioned in the protologue. The additional examination of the type specimen shows that E. carneum possesses these characteristics, which could develop in varying degrees. Pleurocystidia were not seen although reported in the protologue.
