Synonym: Leptonia atrocoerulea.
Common name: navy pinkgill.
Russian name: Entoloma tiomno-sinyaya.
Entoloma atrocoeruleum is a species of fungus that belongs to the family Entolomataceae. It is characterized by its dark blue to blackish cap and pinkish-gray gills. In St. Petersburg, Leningrad Oblast, and north-western Russia, this fungus has been found growing in coniferous and mixed forests, often associated with mosses and lichens. The fruiting bodies typically appear in late summer to early autumn, preferring moist and shaded areas with rich soil. Local records indicate that Entoloma atrocoeruleum is a relatively rare species in the region, but can be found in certain areas with suitable habitat conditions.
Observations of Entoloma atrocoeruleum in Leningrad Oblast and north-western Russia reveal the fungus growing on mossy substrates. In Pavlovsk Park, specifically in the area of New Sylvia, navy pinkgill mushrooms were found on a mossy stump and on moss itself. The observations were made on September 8, 2018, in Pavlovsk, a suburb of Saint Petersburg, Russia. The caps of the mushrooms were also documented, showcasing their distinctive features. These sightings suggest that Entoloma atrocoeruleum thrives in mossy environments, and further research may uncover more about its habitat preferences and distribution in the region. The fungus appears to be present in the area, with multiple observations recorded on the same day, indicating a possible abundance of the species in the park.
