Entolomataceae

Entolomataceae (Entolomataceae) is a group of fungi in the agaric family. Members of the family have very different characteristics although all of them have gills that are attached to the rim of the mushroom cap. Most are inedible or poisonous, and since it is incredibly hard for even the experts to identify different species they definitely shouldn't be eaten.
