Description
Entocybe is a genus of agaric fungi in the family Entolomataceae, established in 2011 to include species with obscurely angular spores featuring 6–10 angles. They often form small to medium-sized fruiting bodies and are typically found in forested areas, especially around leaf litter. A fascinating aspect of entocybe is their ecological role in breaking down dead organic matter, contributing to nutrient cycling in ecosystems.
