Entoloma sericellum is a species of mushroom-forming fungus belonging to the family Entolomataceae. It appears in conifer and hardwood forests. The cap is dry, white, and covered by tiny fribrils. The gills are white and fragile. The stipe is thin, white, and sometimes translucent. The cap and stipe yellow in age, while the gills turn pinkish from the spores as they mature. The species is inedible.

Where the DNA of Entoloma sericellum was picked up in samples of water, soil or air — nobody saw the organism, only its DNA left behind. A trace is a clue that the species was near, not a confirmed sighting.

How to read this: each dot is one detection of this species' DNA in an environmental sample. The confidence meter weighs how many independent studies and places back up the signal — one detection in one study is a hint; many across several studies is solid. Records dated before 2008 (when eDNA methods began) are treated as likely mislabeled and left off the map.
