Alloclavaria
''Alloclavaria'' is a clavarioid genus in the Hymenochaetales recently segregated from ''Clavaria'' by molecular analysis. Phylogenetically related fungi are in the agaricoid genera '' Rickenella'', '' Contumyces'', '' Gyroflexus'', '' Loreleia'', '' Cantharellopsis'' and '' Blasiphalia'', as well as the stipitate stereoid genera '' Cotylidia'' and '' Muscinupta''. The only species as yet placed in ''Alloclavaria'' is the type, formerly known as ''Clavaria purpurea'' under which name it is often cited or illustratehttp://www.funet.fi/pub/sci/bio/life/fungi/basidiomycotina/cantharellales/clavariaceae/clavaria/purpurea-1.jpg]. It is suspected, via circumstantial evidence, i.e. habitat, but not proven, that ''Alloclavaria'' is mycorrhizal. Etymology Alloclavaria means "the other ''Clavaria''", a reference to the fact it was segregated from ''Clavaria'' which was shown to be a member of the Agaricales through phylogenetic In biology, phylogenetics (; from Greek φυλή/ φῦλ ...

Alloclavaria Purpurea
''Alloclavaria purpurea'' is a coral fungus commonly known as the purple coral, or the purple fairy club. Formerly known as ''Clavaria purpurea'', it has been moved to its own genus as a result of phylogenetic analysis. Description The fruiting body of ''Alloclavaria purpurea'' is made of numerous slender cylindrical spindles that may grow to a height of , with individual spindles being 2–6 millimeters thick. The color is purple or lavender, although the color fades to tan in older specimens. The spore print is white. It is reportedly edible but insubstantial. Fruit bodies are found in spruce-fir forests A spruce is a tree of the genus ''Picea'' (), a genus of about 35 species of coniferous evergreen trees in the family Pinaceae, found in the northern temperate and boreal (taiga) regions of the Earth.

Gyroflexus
''Gyroflexus'' is a monotypic genus with a yellowish-ivory colored omphalinoid agaric in the Hymenochaetales that grows on living ''Sphagnum'' Phylogenetically related agarics are in the genera ''Rickenella'', ''Blasiphalia'', ''Loreleia'', ''Cantharellopsis'' and ''Contumyces'', as well as the stipitate-stereoid genera '' Muscinupta'' and ''Cotylidia'' and clavaroid genus, ''Alloclavaria''. ''Gyroflexus brevibasidiatus'', the type, amongst the vaguely omphalinoid genera is distinguished by its small, mammiform pileus, growth on ''Sphagnum'', and lack of cystidia. Etymology The etymology of the name ''Gyroflexus'' is not known. When coined in a prepublication advertisement, it clearly was intended to be applied to several species, although only one, the type was included. Possibly it refers to the slightly undulating stipe in contrast to the very straight stipes of related genera like ''Rickenella ''Rickenella'' is a genus of brightly colored bryophilous agarics in the Hymeno ...

Cotylidia
''Cotylidia'' is a fungal genus characterized by small to moderately sized, white to palely yet brightly colored, stalked, fan-shaped to funnel-shaped fruit bodiehttps://web.archive.org/web/20070821184454/http://www.fungaljungal.org/family_pages/Cotylidia.htm] with a smooth to wrinkled hymenium, tissues composed of monomitic hyphae, basidia producing smooth, nonamyloid spores, the absence of clamp connections, and bearing projecting cylindrical, thin-walled, hymenial cystidia. The genus is classified in the Hymenochaetales, however the type species, ''C. undulata'' has not yet been sequenced. Phylogenetically-related agaricoid fungi to the two species of ''Cotylidia'' thus far sequenced are in the genera ''Rickenella'', ''Contumyces'', '' Gyroflexus'', ''Loreleia'', '' Cantharellopsis'' and ''Blasiphalia'', and '' Muscinupta'' and the clavarioid genus, ''Alloclavaria''. The ecological status of ''Cotylidia'' remains unresolved. They fruit on soil or plant debris, sometimes ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hymenochaetales
The Hymenochaetales are an order of fungi in the class Agaricomycetes. The order in its current sense is based on molecular research and not on any unifying morphological characteristics. According to one 2008 estimate, the Hymenochaetales contain around 600 species worldwide, mostly corticioid fungi and poroid fungi, but also including several clavarioid fungi and agarics. Species of economic importance include wood decay fungi in the genera '' Phellinus'' and ''Inonotus'' sensu lato, some of which may cause losses in forestry. Therapeutic properties are claimed for ''Inonotus obliquus'' ("chaga") and ''Phellinus linteus'', both of which are now commercially marketed. Taxonomy History The order was proposed in 1977 to recognize the family Hymenochaetaceae at a higher taxonomic rank. As originally conceived, species within the Hymenochaetales had several morphological features in common, notably brown or brownish basidiocarps (fruit bodies) that turn black in alkali, hyphae l ...

Repetobasidiaceae
Repetobasidiaceae is a phylogenetically defined family encompassing resupinate, poroid, stereoid, clavarioid, and agaric An agaric () is a type of fungus fruiting body characterized by the presence of a pileus (cap) that is clearly differentiated from the stipe (stalk), with lamellae (gills) on the underside of the pileus. In the UK, agarics are called "mushrooms ...oid fungi, among other forms. Currently no description of the emended family circumscription is available.

Clavarioid Fungi
The clavarioid fungi are a group of fungi in the ''Basidiomycota'' typically having erect, simple or branched basidiocarps (fruit bodies) that are formed on the ground, on decaying vegetation, or on dead wood. They are colloquially called club fungi and coral fungi. Originally such fungi were referred to the genus ''Clavaria'' ("clavarioid" means ''Clavaria''-like), but it is now known that clavarioid species are not all closely related. Since they are often studied as a group, it is convenient to retain the informal (non-taxonomic) name of "clavarioid fungi" and this term is frequently used in research papers. History ''Clavaria'' was one of the original genera created by Linnaeus in his ''Species Plantarum'' of 1753. It contained all species of fungi with erect, club-shaped or branched (coral-like) fruit bodies, including many that are now referred to the Ascomycota. Subsequent authors described over 1200 species in the genus. With increasing use of the microscope in the late ni ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Rickenella
''Rickenella'' is a genus of brightly colored bryophilous agarics in the Hymenochaetales that have an omphalinoid morphology. They inhabit mosses on mossy soils, peats, tree trunks and logs in temperate regions of both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. Phylogenetically related agarics are in the genera '' Contumyces'', '' Gyroflexus'', '' Loreleia'', '' Cantharellopsis'' and '' Blasiphalia'', as well as the stipitate-stereoid genera '' Muscinupta'' and '' Cotylidia''. and the clavarioid genus, ''Alloclavaria''. ''Rickenella'' is most similar to ''Contumyces'' and ''Blasiphalia'', from the former differing by having its cystidia on the cap, stipe, and hymenium solitary and scattered. The hair-like cystidia on the cap and stipe give the small mushrooms a fuzzy appearance when viewed through a magnifying glass or hand lens. This helps to distinguish the genus from genera like '' Loreleia'', which can be orange colored and inhabits similar sites, as well as other brightly pigme ...

Contumyces
''Contumyces'' is a genus of brightly colored possibly bryophilous or graminicolous agarics in the Hymenochaetales. They have an omphalinoid morphology, and therefore were previously classified in ''Omphalina''http://perso.orange.fr/famm/Photos/Bull27/Contumyces%20vesuviana.htmhttps://web.archive.org/web/20071008085851/http://micologia.net/g3/Omphalina-rosella/Omphalina_rosella_asieThey inhabit mossy or grassy silty or sandy soils in the Northern Hemisphere. Phylogenetically related agarics are in the genera ''Rickenella'', '' Gyroflexus'', ''Loreleia'', '' Cantharellopsis'' and ''Blasiphalia'', as well as the stipitate-stereoid genera '' Muscinupta'' and '' Cotylidia'' and clavarioid genus, ''Alloclavaria''. ''Contumyces'' is most similar to ''Rickenella'' and ''Blasiphalia'' and differs by having its cystidia on the cap, stipe, and hymenium in clusters, whereas in ''Rickenella'' and ''Blasiphalia'' the cystidia are solitary. Etymology ''Contumyces'' is named after the contemp ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Loreleia
''Loreleia'' is a genus of brightly colored agarics in the Hymenochaetales that have an omphalinoid morphology. They inhabit mosses and or liverworts on soil in temperate regions of the Northern Hemisphere. Phylogenetically related agarics are in the genera '' Contumyces'', '' Gyroflexus'', ''Rickenella'', '' Cantharellopsis'' and '' Blasiphalia'', as well as the stipitate-stereoid genera '' Muscinupta'' and '' Cotylidia'' and the clavaroid genus, ''Alloclavaria''. However, the large number of DNA base-pair changes causes a long-branch to form in phylogenetic analyses depicted as cladograms. In the field, to the eye, ''Loreleia'' is most similar to ''Rickenella'' because of the orangish colors and omphalinoid shape, but microscopically it differs by the absence of cystidia that in ''Rickenella'' make the latter minutely fuzzy as seen with a hand lens. ''Loreleia'' penetrates the rhizoids of liverworts and may form a type of symbiosis with them, but in axenic culture tests, '' ...

Cantharellopsis
''Cantharellopsis'' is a tan- to whitish-colored bryophilous monotypic genus in the Hymenochaetales. The fruit bodies of the single species ''Cantharellopsis prescotii'' has a form intermediate between an ''Omphalina'' and a chanterelle (''Cantharellus'') because of its forked, fold-like gills. It inhabits moss on calcareous soils in temperate regions of Europe. Phylogenetically related agarics are in the genera ''Contumyces'', '' Gyroflexus'', ''Loreleia'', ''Rickenella'' and ''Blasiphalia'', as well as the stipitate-stereoid genera '' Muscinupta'' and ''Cotylidia'' and the clavarioid genus, ''Alloclavaria ''Alloclavaria'' is a clavarioid genus in the Hymenochaetales recently segregated from ''Clavaria'' by molecular analysis.

Blasiphalia
''Blasiphalia'' is a fungal genus in the family Repetobasidiaceae. A monotypic genus, it contains the honey colored omphalinoid agaricbr> ''Blasiphalia pseudogrisella'', which grows with the Marchantiophyta, liverwort genus ''Blasia''. Phylogenetically related agarics are in the genera ''Rickenella'', '' Gyroflexus'', ''Loreleia'', '' Cantharellopsis'' and '' Contumyces'', as well as the stipitate-stereoid genera '' Muscinupta'' and '' Cotylidia'' and clavarioid genus, ''Alloclavaria''. ''Blasiphalia'' is most similar to ''Rickenella'' and ''Contumyces'', and was only just recognized as a distinct genus in 2007 based upon molecular analysis. The fungus is unique in parasitizing ''Blasiaby forming clasping appresoria on its host's rhizoids. Its basidiospores also germinate on the host's gemmae and clasp them and therefore can be disseminated together with the gemmae.

Phylogenetic
In biology, phylogenetics (; from Greek φυλή/ φῦλον [] "tribe, clan, race", and wikt:γενετικός, γενετικός [] "origin, source, birth") is the study of the evolutionary history and relationships among or within groups of organisms. These relationships are determined by Computational phylogenetics, phylogenetic inference methods that focus on observed heritable traits, such as DNA sequences, protein amino acid sequences, or morphology. The result of such an analysis is a phylogenetic tree—a diagram containing a hypothesis of relationships that reflects the evolutionary history of a group of organisms. The tips of a phylogenetic tree can be living taxa or fossils, and represent the "end" or the present time in an evolutionary lineage. A phylogenetic diagram can be rooted or unrooted. A rooted tree diagram indicates the hypothetical common ancestor of the tree. An unrooted tree diagram (a network) makes no assumption about the ancestral line, and does ...
