Entoloma bryorum is an agaric fungus in the family Entolomataceae, growing in association with mosses (bryophytes) in humid, undisturbed habitats. Like other members of the diverse genus Entoloma, it produces pink spores and may have saprotrophic or mycorrhizal associations. Its conservation status is not evaluated.

Entoloma querquedula is an agaric fungus in the family Entolomataceae, assessed as Near Threatened (NT). It is found in nutrient-poor, unfertilised grassland and mire habitats that have declined due to agricultural intensification and drainage. Its near-threatened status reflects sensitivity to grassland management changes.
