So, which is it?

The first paragraph says "Entoloma hochstetteri is not edible, but whether or not it is poisonous is unknown."

The last paragraph says "The edibility of Entoloma hochstetteri is unknown. Many members of the genus Entoloma are poisonous."

Description section would be better based on NZ specimens rather than Indian one

The description section is based on a specimen from India per Dhancholia (1989). It would be better to base it on a description of NZ specimens. Nurg (talk) 05:50, 8 July 2021 (UTC)[reply]
