Asterophora
''Asterophora'' is a genus of fungi that grow as parasites on mushrooms. The genus contains four species, which have a widespread distribution, especially in temperate areas. The most recently described species, '' A. salvaterrensis'', was found in '' Pinus pinaster'' forests in Galicia (northwest Iberian Peninsula). ''Asterophora'' species are characterized by the massive production of chlamydospores in their fruit bodies and by the production of carminophilous lysosomes in their basidia. A frequently used but synonymous genus name is ''Nyctalis''. The chlamydospores have been classified in the genus '' Ugola'', which is an anamorph In mycology, the terms teleomorph, anamorph, and holomorph apply to portions of the life cycles of fungi in the phyla Ascomycota and Basidiomycota: *Teleomorph: the sexual reproductive stage (morph), typically a fruiting body. *Anamorph: an ase ...ic name.

Asterophora Parasitica
''Asterophora parasitica'', commonly known as the parasitic Asterophora or the Russula parasite, is a species of fungus that grows as a parasite on other mushrooms. The fruit bodies are small, with silky fibers on the surface of grayish caps and thick, widely spaced gills. Mushrooms fruit in clusters on the decaying remains of ''Lactarius'' and '' Russula'' species, particularly those in the ''Russula nigricans'' group. Found primarily in temperate zones of Europe and North America, the fungus is widespread but not common. Taxonomy Jean Baptiste Francois Pierre Bulliard first described the species as ''Agaricus parasiticus'' in 1791; it was sanctioned under that name by Elias Magnus Fries in his 1822 ''Systema Mycologicum''. Rolf Singer transferred it to ''Asterophora'' in 1951. Synonyms include ''Gymnopus parasiticus'', published by Samuel Frederick Gray in 1821, ''Merulius parasiticus'' by Thomas Purton in 1821, and ''Nyctalis parasitica'' by Elias Fries in 1838. Ac ...

Asterophora Lycoperdoides
''Asterophora lycoperdoides'' is a species of fungus in the Lyophyllaceae family. It grows as a parasite on other mushrooms, mainly those in the genus '' Russula''. Its gills are poorly formed or nearly absent. Asexual spores are produced on the mushrooms cap which enable the organism to clone itself easily. The spores are star-shaped, hence the name star bearer. It is regarded as nonpoisonous but inedible. '' Asterophora parasitica'' is similar but has more conic caps. Taxonomy The species was first named as ''Agaricus lycoperdonoides'' by French mycologist Jean Baptiste Francois Pierre Bulliard Jean may refer to: People * Jean (female given name) * Jean (male given name) * Jean (surname) Fictional characters * Jean Grey, a Marvel Comics character * Jean Valjean, fictional character in novel ''Les Misérables'' and its adaptations * J ... in 1784.

Asterophora Mirabilis
''Asterophora mirabilis'' is a species of fungus that grows as a parasite on mushrooms. It was originally described as ''Nyctalis mirabilis'' by Australian mycologist Tom May in 1995, and later transferred to the genus ''Asterophora'' in 2001. The fungus grows in temperate rainforests of Australia (southern Victoria and Tasmania) on decaying fruit bodies of species in the genera '' Russula'' and ''Lactarius ''Lactarius'' is a genus of mushroom-producing, ectomycorrhizal fungi, containing several edible species.

Fungi
A fungus ( : fungi or funguses) is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and molds, as well as the more familiar mushrooms. These organisms are classified as a kingdom, separately from the other eukaryotic kingdoms, which by one traditional classification include Plantae, Animalia, Protozoa, and Chromista. A characteristic that places fungi in a different kingdom from plants, bacteria, and some protists is chitin in their cell walls. Fungi, like animals, are heterotrophs; they acquire their food by absorbing dissolved molecules, typically by secreting digestive enzymes into their environment. Fungi do not photosynthesize. Growth is their means of mobility, except for spores (a few of which are flagellated), which may travel through the air or water. Fungi are the principal decomposers in ecological systems. These and other differences place fungi in a single group of related organisms, named the ''Eumycota'' (''t ...

Lyophyllaceae
The Lyophyllaceae is a family of fungi in the order Agaricales. A 2008 estimate indicated eight genera and 157 species; , the Catalog of Life lists 13 genera in the family. Lyophyllaceae was circumscribed by mycologist Walter Jülich in 1981. Some species are popular as edible fungi, such as the brown beech mushroom ''Hypsizygus tessellatus'' and '' Lyophyllum shimeji''. Genera The family currently includes the following genera: *'' Asterophora'' *'' Blastosporella'' *'' Calocybe'' *'' Calocybella'' *'' Gerhardtia'' *'' Hypsizygus'' *'' Lyophyllopsis'' *''Lyophyllum'' *'' Myochromella'' *'' Ossicaulis'' *'' Rugosomyces'' *'' Sagaranella'' *''Tephrocybe'' *'' Tephrocybella'' *''Termitomyces ''Termitomyces'' is a genus of basidiomycete fungi belonging to the family Lyophyllaceae.

Dominique Sébastien Léman
"Dominique" is a 1963 French language popular song, written and performed by the Belgian female singer Jeannine Deckers, better known as Sœur Sourire ("Sister Smile" in French) or The Singing Nun. The song is about Saint Dominic, a Spanish-born priest and founder of the Dominican Order, of which she was a member (as Sister Luc-Gabrielle). The English-version lyrics of the song were written by Noël Regney. In addition to French and English, Deckers recorded versions in Dutch, German, Hebrew, Japanese, Korean, and Portuguese. It was a top selling record in 11 countries in late 1963 and early 1964. Commercial performance "Dominique" reached the Top 10 in 11 countries in late 1963 and early 1964, topping the chart in the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand. It reached the Top 5 in Norway, Denmark, Ireland and South Africa, with the song making it into the lower reaches of the Top 10 in the Netherlands, West Germany, and the United Kingdom. The song reached and sta ...

Iberian Peninsula
The Iberian Peninsula (), ** * Aragonese and Occitan: ''Peninsula Iberica'' ** ** * french: Péninsule Ibérique * mwl, Península Eibérica * eu, Iberiar penintsula also known as Iberia, is a peninsula in southwestern Europe, defining the westernmost edge of Eurasia. It is principally divided between Spain and Portugal, comprising most of their territory, as well as a small area of Southern France, Andorra, and Gibraltar. With an area of approximately , and a population of roughly 53 million, it is the second largest European peninsula by area, after the Scandinavian Peninsula. Name Greek name The word ''Iberia'' is a noun adapted from the Latin word "Hiberia" originating in the Ancient Greek word Ἰβηρία ('), used by Greek geographers under the rule of the Roman Empire to refer to what is known today in English as the Iberian Peninsula. At that time, the name did not describe a single geographical entity or a distinct population; the same name was us ...

Anamorph
In mycology, the terms teleomorph, anamorph, and holomorph apply to portions of the life cycles of fungi in the phyla Ascomycota and Basidiomycota: *Teleomorph: the sexual reproductive stage (morph), typically a fruiting body. *Anamorph: an asexual reproductive stage (morph), often mold-like. When a single fungus produces multiple morphologically distinct anamorphs, these are called synanamorphs. *Holomorph: the whole fungus, including anamorphs and teleomorph. Dual naming of fungi Fungi are classified primarily based on the structures associated with sexual reproduction, which tend to be evolutionarily conserved. However, many fungi reproduce only asexually, and cannot easily be classified based on sexual characteristics; some produce both asexual and sexual states. These problematic species are often members of the Ascomycota, but a few of them belong to the Basidiomycota. Even among fungi that reproduce both sexually and asexually, often only one method of reproduction can be ...
