Abstract

Entoloma dicymbophilum sp. nov. is described from the Pakaraima Mountains of Guyana. The species is unique within the genus in its combination of large, white, tricholomatoid basidiomata with isodiametric, angled basidiospores. A key to species of Entoloma s. str. from Guyana is provided.
