About Entoloma quadratum (Berk. & M.A.Curtis) E.Horak
Entoloma quadratum is an agaric fungus species belonging to the family Entolomataceae. It was first described in 1859 by Miles Joseph Berkeley and Moses Ashley Curtis under the name Agaricus quadratus, and Egon Horak reclassified it into the genus Entoloma in 1976.
The mushroom's fruiting body is mostly orange. Its cap grows up to 3.5 centimetres (1+1⁄2 in) wide, while its stem can reach 10 cm (4 in) long. This fungus produces a pinkish-brown spore print. It bears a resemblance to three other fungal species: E. luteum, E. murrayi, and Hygrocybe conica. Entoloma quadratum is found across Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America, where it grows in moist soil under conifers.
