Entoloma cruentatum is a rare Entoloma species characterised by blood-red to dark reddish tones in its fruiting body, a striking appearance among the typically paler members of its genus. It grows in grassland or woodland edge habitats across parts of Europe. Classified as Vulnerable, it is threatened by habitat loss and the degradation of ancient, species-rich grasslands.

Entoloma fuscotomentosum is a rare grassland Entoloma mushroom with a dark, finely tomentose (velvety) cap surface and the characteristic pink spore print of the genus. It is found in ancient, unimproved grasslands and calcareous meadows in Europe. Near Threatened, this species is vulnerable to loss of traditional land management and conversion of old grasslands to intensive agriculture.
