Current name[edit]

A 2009 paper by Co-David proposed that genus Rhodocybe needs to disappear (as Clitopilus is a clade embedded in it),[1], but they regard Rhodophana as just a section of Entoloma. And they name R. nitellina "Clitopilus nitellinus". Then Kluting et al. did a study where they resurrected genera Clitopilopsis and Rhodophana and also defined a new genus Clitocella.[2] The names of Kluting et al. now seem to be accepted by Species Fungorum and Mycobank (there are still obscure Rhodocybe species marked as current in Species Fungorum but I think these names are problematic or not used since a long time ago). So I think that the current name is now indeed Rhodophana nitellina.
