Entoloma murrayi, a widespread species, can be distinguished by its absence of clamp connections and sterile lamellar edge (Selby et al. 1859; Horak 1976; He 2012). In addition, E. neotropicale and E. flavescens have yellow basidiomata that are similar to those of E. acutiflavum . However, E. neotropicale has an appressed-fibrillose pileus with a more obtuse papilla and indistinct striations on the pileus margin (Karstedt et al. 2024). Entoloma flavescens possesses a shiny pileus partially covered with whitish silky scales, shorter cheilocystidia, and an almost hyaline pileipellis (Sato et al. 2025).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/64CFC14E816F550E926890A348CF8924	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Entoloma carneum is phylogenetically closely related and morphologically similar to E. bichromum but can be distinguished by its lack of clamp connections and smaller spores (8–9 μm) (Bi et al. 1986). Moreover, E. pallidoflavum, E. phlebophyllum, E. plicatum, and E. tomentosum are close to the new species in the phylogenetic analysis but can be distinguished from E. bichromum based on the color of the basidiomata and the presence of squamules on the pilei (Horak 1976; Largent et al. 2013; Chen et al. 2024). Entoloma laccarioides is similar to E. bichromum in the color of the basidiomata, but the former has a subinfundibuliform pileus at maturity and fusoid to utriform pleurocystidia, whereas E. bichromum has a pileus always with a central papilla and clavate, elongated clavate to cylindrical, and narrower pleurocystidia (He et al. 2015 a). In addition, Entoloma peristerinum resembles E. bichromum in pileus characters, but the former differs by its fibrillose stipe and the absence of pleurocystidia (Morozova and Pham 2023).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/AC80EC4FB667563DACC5029556B0C6E2	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

Entoloma guttuliferum clusters with five species ( E. lacticolor, E. murrayi, E. submurrayi, E. acutiflavum, and E. quadratum) in the phylogenetic tree. Among them, E. lacticolor is also similar to E. guttuliferum morphologically, but the former lacks pleurocystidia and has a sterile lamellar edge. Except for E. lacticolor, the other four species can be easily distinguished by the color of their basidiomata (Selby et al. 1859; Horak 1976; He 2012; Chen et al. 2024). Entoloma albogracile and E. dennisii share similarities with E. guttuliferum in pileus color and shape. However, E. albogracile differs in having pink to porphyry-pink lamellae, pigmentless cheilocystidia and pileipellis, and the absence of clamp connections. Entoloma dennisii has smaller spores (5.5–7 μm) and pigmentless cheilocystidia (Horak 1976). In addition, E. album and E. caribaeum also resemble E. guttuliferum, although the color of their pilei tends to be white. Compared to the new species, they lack pleurocystidia. Furthermore, the hyphae in the pileipellis of E. album lack contents. Entoloma caribaeum has larger spores with elongated angles (15–18 × 15–20 μm) and 2 - spored basidia (Karstedt et al. 2024; Sato et al. 2025).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/F9DAFB0B51F1577599793487AE3BCCFA	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.

E. rufosquamulosum forms a stable clade with E. bichromum, E. carneum, E. pallidoflavum, E. phlebophyllum, E. plicatum, and E. tomentosum in the phylogenetic tree. Among them, E. phlebophyllum resembles E. rufosquamulosum when young, but the former has a pileus with a depressed center at maturity, a sterile lamellar edge, and a pileipellis with encrusted pigment (Chen et al. 2024). Entoloma carneum has been reported to have a pale carneous pileus with a red center and radiating fibers, but it differs greatly from E. rufosquamulosum in microstructure, including smaller spores, the presence of pleurocystidia, and the absence of clamp connections (Bi et al. 1986). Entoloma bichromum, E. pallidoflavum, E. plicatum, and E. tomentosum can be easily distinguished from E. rufosquamulosum by the distinctly different colors of the pileus and stipe (Horak 1976; Largent et al. 2013; Chen et al. 2024). In addition, three species from Brazil — E. arenicola, E. vinososquamulosum, and E. voltavelhense — are similar to E. rufosquamulosum macroscopically. However, they have smaller spores or straw-yellow intracellular pigment in the pileipellis (Karstedt et al. 2024).</p></div>	https://treatment.plazi.org/id/04348023D6A35512AD472D3144F91A73	Public Domain	No known copyright restrictions apply.
