Description
The Schild-Rötling or Festfleischige Frühlings-Rötling (Entoloma clypeatum) is a fungus species of the family of the red-wrinkled relatives (Entolomataceae). He belongs to the group of "Frühlingsrötlinge" (section Nolanidea) in the subgenus Entoloma. The agaric lives together with trees and shrubs of the Rosaceae family, including blackthorn, hawthorn, cherry and the ornamental shrub copper pear. However, unlike other ectomycorrhizal fungi, the fungal threads invade the cells of the fine roots and destroy them to a large extent. Some authors regard the fruiting bodies as edible, while others regard them as suspected of being poisonous; a palatability is often denied. Poisoning cases became known from Turkey.
