(Fr.) P. Kumm. (1871)

Nolanea is a genus of small gray to brown pink-spored mushrooms that are mostly saprotrophic and grow on the ground. The cap can be conical, convex or umbonate in shape, often with a silky top. The gills have adnexed to adnate attachment (they can also be a little decurrent) and the stalk is fragile and often hollow. The spores are angular and are flesh colored to pink. Nolaneas are well known for being difficult to identify.

Nolanea was introduced as a tribus in Elias Magnus Fries' 1821 work Systema Mycologicum.[1] It is sometimes considered a subgenus of the large genus Entoloma rather than a genus in its own right.[2][3][4]

Little is known about the edibility of Nolaneas, and some are poisonous.[citation needed]

Species

As of April 2016, Index Fungorum accepts 20 species of Nolanea:[5]
