I was going to create a species, but it as coming up as a possible synonym of Entoloma luteum. Do you think this could be the same?

Found in North America, it fruits singly or in clusters on the ground in mixed forest. Its angular spores are non-amyloid, hyaline , and measure 9–13 by 8–12 µm. ''Entoloma murrayi'' is a lookalike species that has a more orange cap with a pointy umbo.
