Auriculariales
The Auriculariales are an order of fungi in the class Agaricomycetes. Species within the order were formerly referred to the " heterobasidiomycetes" or "jelly fungi", since many have gelatinous basidiocarps (fruit bodies) that produce spores on septate basidia. Around 200 species are known worldwide, placed in six or more families, though the status of these families is currently uncertain. All species in the Auriculariales are believed to be saprotrophic, most growing on dead wood. Fruit bodies of several ''Auricularia'' species are cultivated for food on a commercial scale, especially in China. Taxonomy History The order was established in 1889 by German mycologist Joseph Schröter to accommodate species of fungi having "auricularioid" basidia (more or less cylindrical basidia with lateral septa), including many of the rusts and smuts. In 1922, British mycologist Carleton Rea recognized the order as containing the families Auriculariaceae and Ecchynaceae, as well as the rus ...

Hyaloriaceae
The Hyaloriaceae are a family of fungi in the order Auriculariales. Species within the family have gelatinous basidiocarps (fruit bodies) that produce spores on septate basidia and, as such, were formerly referred to the "heterobasidiomycetes" or "jelly fungi". All appear to be saprotrophic, growing on dead wood or plant remains. Less than 30 species are currently included within the Hyaloriaceae, but the family has not been extensively researched. Taxonomy History The family was established in 1900 by German mycologist Gustav Lindau to accommodate a single, neotropical species, '' Hyaloria pilacre''. Lindau considered his new family to be close to the Tremellaceae, but distinguished by the "angiocarpous" or gasteroid development of its fruit bodies (meaning that the spore-bearing hymenia were covered until maturity, rather than exposed). The Hyaloriaceae were placed within the order Tremellales by most subsequent authors, until 1984, when American mycologist Robert Joseph Ban ...

Auriculariaceae
The Auriculariaceae are a family of fungi in the order Auriculariales. Species within the family were formerly referred to the "heterobasidiomycetes" or "jelly fungi", since many have gelatinous basidiocarps (fruit bodies) that produce spores on septate basidia. Around 100 species are known worldwide. All are believed to be saprotrophic, most growing on dead wood. Fruit bodies of several ''Auricularia'' species are cultivated for food on a commercial scale, especially in China. Taxonomy History The family was established in 1897 by German mycologist Gustav Lindau to accommodate species of fungi having "gymnocarpous" basidiocarps (with the hymenium exposed) and "auricularioid" basidia (more or less cylindrical basidia with lateral septa). It included not only the genus ''Auricularia'', but also '' Platygloea'', '' Jola'', '' Saccoblastia'', and ''Stypinella'' (= '' Helicobasidium''). In 1922, British mycologist Carleton Rea recognized the family as containing the genera ''Auricu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Auricularia Auricula-judae
''Auricularia auricula-judae'', which has the recommended English name jelly ear, also known as Judas’s ear or Jew’s ear, is a species of fungus in the order Auriculariales. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are brown, gelatinous, and have a noticeably ear-like shape. They grow on wood, especially elder. The specific epithet is derived from the belief that Judas Iscariot hanged himself from an elder tree; the common name "Judas's ear" was largely eclipsed by the corruption "Jew's ear". The fungus can be found throughout the year in Europe, where it normally grows on wood of broadleaf trees and shrubs. It was formerly thought to be a variable species with a worldwide distribution, but molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences, has shown that non-European species are distinct. The cultivated "A. auricula-judae" of China and East Asia is ''Auricularia heimuer'' and, to a lesser extent, '' A. villosula''. The North American "A. auricula-judae" on broadleaf ...

Mycostilla
''Mycostilla'' is a genus of fungi in the order Auriculariales. The type and only species, ''Mycostilla vermiformis'', forms effused, gelatinous, crystalline or net-like basidiocarps (fruit bodies) on fallen conifer wood in Europe. The species was formerly placed in ''Stypella'', but the latter genus is of uncertain disposition and appears unrelated to the Auriculariales. Molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences A nucleic acid sequence is a succession of bases signified by a series of a set of five different letters that indicate the order of nucleotides forming alleles within a DNA (using GACT) or RNA (GACU) molecule.

Basidiodendron
''Basidiodendron'' is a genus of fungi in the order (biology), order Auriculariales. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are corticioid, thin, effused and are typically found on fallen wood. The genus is widespread in both temperate and tropical regions and contains over 30 species. Taxonomy The genus was introduced for a single species by Brazilian mycologist Johannes Rick in 1938, but its modern interpretation was established by Canadian mycologist E. Robena Luck-Allen in 1963. She placed a number of species previously referred to ''Bourdotia (fungus), Bourdotia'' into ''Basidiodendron'' based microscopically on their septate basidia, the presence of cystidia, gloeocystidia, and the production of basidia on distinctive "involucrate" stalks. Molecular phylogenetics, Molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences, has substantially supported Luck-Allen's circumscription of ''Basidiodendron'', though the less typical, larger-spored species remain as yet unsequenced.

Guepinia
''Guepinia'' is a genus of fungus in the Auriculariales order. It is a monotypic genus, containing the single species ''Guepinia helvelloides'', commonly known as the apricot jelly. The fungus produces salmon-pink, ear-shaped, gelatinous fruit bodies that grow solitarily or in small tufted groups on soil, usually associated with buried rotting wood. The fruit bodies are tall and up to wide; the stalks are not well-differentiated from the cap. The fungus, although rubbery, is edible, and may be eaten raw with salads, pickled, or candied. It has a white spore deposit, and the oblong to ellipsoid spores measure 9–11 by 5–6 micrometers. The fungus is widely distributed in the Northern Hemisphere, and has also been collected from South America. Taxonomy The species was first described and illustrated as ''Tremella rufa'' by Nicolaus Joseph von Jacquin in 1778. Elias Magnus Fries later (1828) called it ''Guepinia helvelloides'' in his ''Elenchus Fungorum'', based on Augustin P ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Pseudohydnum
''Pseudohydnum'' is a genus of fungi in the order Auriculariales. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are typically bracket-like and gelatinous, with or without a stipe, with a hydnoid (toothed) undersurface. The genus is widely distributed in both the northern and southern hemisphere, with some seven species currently described and others awaiting description. Taxonomy The genus, first described by Finnish mycologist Petter Adolf Karsten in 1868, has not yet been classified with certainty into a family.

Heteroscyphaceae
''Heteroscypha'' is a genus of fungi in the order Auriculariales. Species form cup-shaped, cyphelloid basidiocarps (fruit bodies) with basidia that are wholly or partly septate. They are presumed to be saprotrophic, growing on dead wood. Originally described in the Tremellales, the genus was placed in its own family, the Heteroscyphaceae, by Jülich and included within the Auriculariales The Auriculariales are an order of fungi in the class Agaricomycetes.

Protomerulius
''Protomerulius'' is a genus of fungi in the order Auriculariales. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are formed on dead wood and have an effused, smooth, spiny, or poroid hymenium. The genus is cosmopolitan. Taxonomy The genus was originally described from Brazil to accommodate a fungus that resembled a polypore but microscopically had septate basidia. The genus name was subsequently extended to include other fungi with a similar combination of features. Molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences, has shown, however, that the type species of ''Protomerulius'', ''P. brasiliensis'' (a synonym of ''P. substuppeus'') is not closely related to most other poroid species with septate basidia, some of which are now placed in the genera '' Aporpium'', '' Elmerina'', and ''Protodaedalea ''Protodaedalea'' is a genus of fungi in the family Auriculariaceae.
