Develop docuemntation
The species has originally been described as Entoloma jennyae (orthographic variant).
Entoloma jennyi is only known from a few localities in Ireland. Legon & Henrici (2005) mention two localities. It may occur in reality in some as yet unknown localities. (with an estimated number of ten localities worldwide).
Only known from a few localities in Ireland (Noordeloos, 2004). Including undiscovered localities the global population is estimated at a maximum of 10 localities with a maximum number of 200 mature individuals.The trend of the species is unknown, but because a decline of the habitat and habitat quality (see threats) most probably the trend has been decreasing.
Population Trend: Decreasing
On wet, peaty soil in Atlantic bogs with Calluna vulgaris, Erica cinerea, Narthecium ossifragum, Potentilla erecta, Polygala vulgaris; probably saprotrophic but life strategy unknown.
Entoloma jennyi is threatened by continued digging of peat; drainage and cultivation of bogs and planting of trees in drained bogs.
Preservation of localities as nature reserves with maintenance of natural hydrology.
Systematic mapping of appropriate habitats in Ireland (possibly also Wales and Scotland) may reveal more localities of this species.
