The Entoloma moongum

''Entoloma moongum'' is a South Australian species of fungus in the large agaric genus ''Entoloma'' . It was described as new to science by mycologist Cheryl Grgurinovic; the original holotype collections were made from Belair National Park in the 1930s by John Burton Cleland, who erroneously referred the fungus to ''Leptonia lampropus''.
