Entoloma mammosum, commonly known as the bell-shaped Nolanea, is a species of fungus in the family Entolomataceae. The fruit bodies are small and nippled, with a striate cap, salmon-colored gills, and a stately stalk. It is typically found growing in feather moss under spruce and Jack pine in the summer and fall. It is saprobic, and derives nutrients from rotting organic matter.[2] The fungus was originally described by Carl Linnaeus in 1753 as Agaricus mammosus. American mycologist Lexemuel Ray Hesler transferred it to Entoloma in 1967.[1]
