Amanitaceae
The Amanitaceae is a family of mushroom-forming fungi. ''Amanita'' Pers. is one of the most specious and best-known fungal genera. The family, also commonly called the amanita family, is in order Agaricales, the gilled mushrooms. The family consists primarily of the large genus ''Amanita'', but also includes the smaller genera '' Amarrendia'', ''Catatrama'', ''Limacella'', ''Limacellopsis'', ''Saproamanita'', ''Torrendia'' and ''Zhuliangomyces''. Both '' Amarrendia'' and ''Torrendia'' are considered to be synonymous with ''Amanita'' but appear quite different because they are secotioid. The species are usually found in woodlands. The most characteristic emerge from an egg-like structure formed by the universal veil. This family contains several species valued for edibility and flavor, and other deadly poisonous ones. More than half the cases of mushroom poisoning stem from members of this family. The most toxic members of this group have names that warn of the poisonous nat ...

Saproamanita
The genus ''Saproamanita'' contains about 24 species of agarics and is one of six genera in the family Amanitaceae. The others are ''Amanita'' (which now includes the synonym ''Torrendia'', a generic name previously applied to secotioid, sequestrate species), ''Catatrama'', ''Limacellopsis'', ''Zhuliangomyces'' and ''Limacella''. ''Saproamanita'' are the Saprotrophic nutrition, saprophytic species in the Tribe Amaniteae, separately classified from the ectomycorrhizal species in the genus ''Amanita''. ''Saproamanita'' resemble ''Amanita'' and have a pileus, free lamellae, a central stipe, and an annulus with scales and rings below the annulus that are the remnants of the universal veil composed largely of cylindrical to slender clavate inflated hyphal cells mostly scattered in the central stipe region rather than the base. The spores are white and amyloid. DNA molecular evidence for the separation of the saprotrophic genus from the sister genus of symbiotic genus ''Amanita'' was fi ...

Zhuliangomyces
''Zhuliangomyces'' is a genus of mushroom-forming fungi in the family Amanitaceae in order Agaricales. Analysis of DNA sequences was used to show that ''Zhuliangomyces'' was separate from ''Limacella'' which is similar in appearance and the genus name ''Myxoderma'' was adopted. The name ''Myxoderma'' was previously used for a genus of Cyanobacteria Cyanobacteria (), also known as Cyanophyta, are a phylum of gram-negative bacteria that obtain energy via photosynthesis. The name ''cyanobacteria'' refers to their color (), which similarly forms the basis of cyanobacteria's common name, blu ... and the fungal generic name was replaced by ''Zhuliangomyces''.

Catatrama
''Catatrama'' is a fungal genus in the family Amanitaceae, order Agaricales. Originally a monotypic genus with ''Catatrama costaricensis'', found in ''Quercus pilarius'' forest in Costa Rica. In 2007, the species was reported from Brazil. Since then 2 additional species, one from Australia and one from India have been recognized.

Limacella
''Limacella'' is a genus of mushroom-forming fungi in the family Amanitaceae in order Agaricales. Some of the species have been classified as members of genus ''Lepiota''. ''Limacella'' was described by mycologist Franklin Sumner Earle in 1909. In some older classification schemes, ''Limacella'' has alternatively been placed in family Pluteaceae. The species formerly classified in the genus ''Limacella'' are now placed in 4 genera; ''Catatrama'', ''Limacellopsis'', ''Limacella'', and ''Zhuliangomyces ''Zhuliangomyces'' is a genus of mushroom-forming fungi in the family Amanitaceae The Amanitaceae is a family of mushroom-forming fungi.

Torrendia
''Torrendia'' is a genus of agaric fungi in the family Amanitaceae in part defined by being sequestrate. By molecular analyses the genus was shown to be part of ''Amanita'' and has now been placed in synonymy with ''Amanita''. The type species, ''Torrendia pulchella'', was first described by Italian mycologist Giacomo Bresadola in 1902, based on material collected in Portugal and sent to him by Camille Torrend. It has been renamed in ''Amanita The genus ''Amanita'' contains about 600 species of agarics, including some of the most toxic known mushrooms found worldwide, as well as some well-regarded edible species.

Amanita Muscaria
''Amanita muscaria'', commonly known as the fly agaric or fly amanita, is a basidiomycete of the genus ''Amanita''. It is also a muscimol mushroom. Native throughout the temperate and boreal regions of the Northern Hemisphere, ''Amanita muscaria'' has been unintentionally introduced to many countries in the Southern Hemisphere, generally as a symbiont with pine and birch plantations, and is now a true cosmopolitan species. It associates with various deciduous and coniferous trees. Arguably the most iconic toadstool species, the fly agaric is a large white- gilled, white-spotted, usually red mushroom, and is one of the most recognizable and widely encountered in popular culture, including in video games—e.g., the extensive use of a recognizable ''Amanita muscaria'' in the Mario franchise and its Super Mushroom power-up—and television—e.g., the houses in The Smurfs franchise. Despite its easily distinguishable features, ''Amanita muscaria'' is a fungus with several know ...

Death Cap
''Amanita phalloides'' (), commonly known as the death cap, is a deadly poisonous basidiomycete fungus, one of many in the genus ''Amanita''. Widely distributed across Europe, but now sprouting in other parts of the world, ''A. phalloides'' forms ectomycorrhizas with various broadleaved trees. In some cases, the death cap has been introduced to new regions with the cultivation of non-native species of oak, chestnut, and pine. The large fruiting bodies (mushrooms) appear in summer and autumn; the caps are generally greenish in colour with a white stipe and gills. The cap colour is variable, including white forms, and is thus not a reliable identifier. These toxic mushrooms resemble several edible species (most notably Caesar's mushroom and the straw mushroom) commonly consumed by humans, increasing the risk of accidental poisoning. Amatoxins, the class of toxins found in these mushrooms, are thermostable: they resist changes due to heat, so their toxic effects are not r ...

Agaricales
The fungal order Agaricales, also known as gilled mushrooms (for their distinctive gills) or euagarics, contains some of the most familiar types of mushrooms. The order has 33 extant families, 413 genera, and over 13,000 described species, along with six extinct genera known only from the fossil record. They range from the ubiquitous common mushroom to the deadly destroying angel and the hallucinogenic fly agaric to the bioluminescent jack-o-lantern mushroom. History, classification and phylogeny In his three volumes of '' Systema Mycologicum'' published between 1821 and 1832, Elias Fries put almost all of the fleshy, gill-forming mushrooms in the genus ''Agaricus''. He organized the large genus into "tribes", the names of many of which still exist as common genera of today. Fries later elevated several of these tribes to generic level, but later authors—including Gillet, Karsten, Kummer, Quélet, and Staude—made most of the changes. Fries based his classification on ...

List Of Basidiomycota Families
This is a list of families in the phylum Basidiomycota of kingdom Fungi. The Basidiomycota are the second largest phyla of the fungi, containing 31515 species. The phylum is divided into three subphyla, the Pucciniomycotina (rust fungi), the Ustilaginomycotina (smut fungi), the Agaricomycotina, and two classes of uncertain taxonomic status (incertae sedis), the Wallemiomycetes and the Entorrhizomycetes. The Agaricomycotina are a diverse group that contain mushrooms, bracket fungi, puffballs, jelly fungi, and coral 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.
