Given that the pond dried out completely last summer to the point where I was mowing it, I am quite surprised to see the water lilies back again. When they were first bought fifteen years ago the marine plants nursey had warned me that they must be kept with their feet in water at all times, if they were to survive - so much for that theory!

Culinary Notes
Entoloma clypeatum is reported to be of 'suspect edibility', which I interpret to mean possibly poisonous. The Shield Pinkgill is quite similar in appearance to Entoloma species that are known to be seriously poisonous - for example Entoloma sinuatum, the Livid Pinkgill, which has caused the painful deaths of several people who have eaten it.
