Entoloma rhodocylix is a species of pink-gilled mushroom that grows in association with grasses and other herbaceous plants. In East and Central Texas, it typically fruits from April to October, often in areas with rich soil and abundant moisture. The cap is 1-4 cm in diameter, bell-shaped to convex, and colored reddish-brown to pinkish-brown. The gills are pink and attached to the stem. This fungus can be found in lawns, meadows, and along roadsides, particularly in areas with Bermuda grass, St. Augustine grass, or other warm-season grasses.
