Entoloma sinuatum (Bull. ex Fr.) Kummer Riesenrötling Entelome livide, Perfide Jaunet, Livid Pinkgill, Nagy döggomba. Cap 5-15cm across, convex with a broad hump, becoming flatter and sometimes wavy in age, with a down-curved margin; dirty cream to dull brownish or grayish; smooth, slightly slippery when wet, sometimes with a faint bloom. Gills adnate, close to almost distant, broad; pale grayish yellow, becoming pinkish in maturity. Stem 40-150 x 10-25mm; pale grayish; slightly hairy. Flesh thick near stalk, firm; white. Odor odd, like bad meal or fishy. Taste nasty. Spores subglobose, angular, with many oil drops, 7-10 x 7-9µ. Deposit salmon pink. Habitat scattered or in groups on the ground under conifers and hardwoods. Found widely distributed in North America and Europe. Season August-September. Poisonous. Comment Formerly known as Entoloma lividum, which has now been split off as a separate species because of the lack of yellow color showing in the gills. The photograph on the white ground is by Geoffrey Kibby.
