The rhodopolioid clade has been extensively 2012, Krieglsteiner and Gminder 2003, Ludwig treated by Noordeloos (1981, introducing sect. 2007). The reasons for this comprehensive Rhodopolia, 1992, 2004) and by Kokkonen approach are manyfold, but are mainly based (2015 as subgen. Rhodopolia). The former on the fact that variability in Entoloma is studies were based on morphological taxonomy, complex and still not fully understood, and whereas the latter also included DNA sequence more specifically, many clades in phylogenetic data, focusing on boreal(-alpine) species analyses show low support with the genetic from Finland. The rhodopolioid species are markers applied so far (see e.g. Morgado et distinguished from many other Entoloma al. 2013). This fragile phylogenetic structure, taxa by their (i) often large and robust basid- combined with the manifest lack of data from iomata (although also small, tiny representatives Entoloma species from many parts of the occur), (ii) rather uniform predominantly world, makes it too preliminary to subdivide brown, yellow-brown or grey-brown colours this mammoth into smaller genera. due to simultaneously encrusted-intracellular- Subgenus Entoloma is nevertheless one of plasmatic pigments (contrasting the often the genetically, ecologically and morphologi- vivid colours seen in other groups), and (iii) cally better defined entities within the genus, often pronounced farinaceous or nitrous smells especially since it apparently consists of (Noordeloos 1981, 1992, 2004, Kokkonen (ecto)mycorrhizal species (Kobayashi and 2015).
