Habit tricholoamtoid. Pileus convex to flattened, not hygrophanous, not translucently striate, glabrous, weakly viscid. Lamellae dark chocolate brown; Spores large. Cheilocystidia large, lageniform. Basidia with brown intracellular pigment (necropigment). Trama of lamellae and pileus made up of long, fusiform elements. Pileipellis a cutis of narrow hyphae with membranal and intracellular pigment.
The only European species, E. excentricum, although it has a tricholomatoid habit, and resembles the type of fruitbodies found in subgenus Entoloma, is placed in a subgenus of its own, because of the aberrant structure of the trama, the large and conspiocuous cystidia, and the necropigments in the hymenium. Although the name suggests an eccentric stipe, Entoloma excentricum may also have a normally centrally inserted stipe. Its general habit reminds also of a Hebeloma species.
Soorten: E. excentricum Bres.
