58570A6C564D1B0DFF00FF26FD8EF9F2.taxon	etymology	Etymology: — In honor of Prof. Dr. Abdul Nasir Khalid, a renowned mycologist, for his contributions to fungal taxonomy in Pakistan. Diagnosis: — Entoloma khalidii differs from E. punjabensis due to its hygrophanous, hemispherical to convex pileus with dark brown depressed center, slightly smaller isodiametric basidiospores (avl × avw = 7.6 × 6.3 µm), frequently presence of clavate to utriform cheilocystidia, and a cutis pileipellis composed of cylindrical cells with rounded ends.

Cheilocystidia (16.1 –) 18.9 – 28.9 (– 31.8) × (6 –) 6.9 – 10.9 (– 11.9) μm, avl × avw = 24 × 8.9 μm, narrowly clavate to clavate rarely cylindrical or utriform, thick-walled, olivaceous droplets absent or rarely present, congophilous. Pleurocystidia absent. Pileipellis a cutis, made up of long cylindrical cells with rounded terminal elements (3.5 – 7.4 μm wide, avw = 4.6 μm,), rarely septate, thick-walled sometimes form chains, thick-walled. Pileocystidia absent. Stipitipellis is made up of long hyphae with 1.9 – 4.3 μm diam., avw = 3 μm., sometimes with rounded terminal elements, thin-walled, septate, parallel arrangement. Caulocystidia absent. Clamp connections absent in all tissues. Habitat: — Saprotrophic, mostly solitary or in pairs, on nutrient-rich loamy soil. Known geographical distribution: — So far, known only from the type locality, Village 37 / 3 R, Haroonabad, Punjab, Pakistan. Additional material examined: — PAKISTAN.
