[1] Threats to its habitat have resulted in the Felted Pinkgill being assessed as globally "vulnerable" on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.

The stipe (stem) is smooth, finely fibrillose, typically pale grey-blue, lacking a ring.

[3] Entoloma isborscanum is superficially similar, but can be distinguished microscopically by having a sterile lamella edge with abundant cheilocystidia.

[1] Like many other European pinkgills, it occurs in old, agriculturally unimproved, short-sward grassland (pastures and lawns).

Entoloma griseocyaneum is typical of waxcap grasslands, a declining habitat due to changing agricultural practices.
