ThePluteaceae are afamily of small to medium-sizedmushrooms which have freegill attachment and pinkspores. Members of Pluteaceae can be mistaken for members ofEntolomataceae, but can be distinguished by the angled spores and attached gills of the Entolomataceae. The four genera in the Pluteaceae comprise the widely distributedVolvariella andPluteus, the rareChamaeota, andVolvopluteus, which was newly described in 2011 as a result ofmolecular analysis.^[2] TheDictionary of the Fungi (10th edition, 2008) estimates there are 364 species in the family.^[3]
