Two Entoloma species, E. eugenei and E. subaraneosum, are described here as newly recorded species in Korea. These two species were recently described from far Eastern Asia, Primorsky Territory of Russia, and Jilin province of China, respectively. Here, these species were reported based on internal transcribed spacer and partial large subunit of ribosomal RNA sequences, and macro- and microscopic characteristics for the first time in Korea.
