From first-nature.com
A delicate pinkgill is often seen in parkland and meadows, Entoloma sericeum is occasionally seen also on roadside verges. The caps are hygrophanous, and so the shade of brown depends very much on how wet or dry the weather has been. Some specimens are even darker than those shown.

2.5 to 5cm across; initially conical, developing an umbo as it becomes broadly convex; hygrophanous, darker brown when wet and much paler, often streaky buff, when dry; surface smooth with silky radial fibrils.

Gills Sinuate; pale grey at first, becoming pinkish grey and eventually brown.
