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. Etymology ''Blasiphalia'' is a nonsense, nontraditionally formulated name vaguely referring to the liverwort gen ... [...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] |
Omphalina
''Omphalina'' is a genus of small agarics with white, nonamyloid, basidiospores and decurrent gills. Typically the cap has a deep central depression giving the umbrella-like to funnel-shaped cap the appearance of a belly button, or a belly with a navel. Similarly-shaped agarics are said to be omphalinoid in appearance. Etymology ''Omphalina'' is the diminutive of ''Omphalia'' which is a reference to the belly button or navel-like appearance of the small dome-shaped caps with a central depression. It derives from the Greek word omphalos. Historical nomenclatural confusion The generic name ''Omphalina'' is an ancient one, linked to the even older mushroom name ''Omphalia'' which cannot be used because it is an illegitimate later homonym. Historically, the former was generally applied to any white-spored, similarly sized and shaped mushroom. As a result, many species that still are labeled ''Omphalina'', or were labeled ''Omphalia'' are in fact not true Omphalinas. The now conserve ...

Blasia
''Blasia pusilla'' (Not to be confused with the rapper President of Blasia) is the only species in the liverwort genus ''Blasia''. It is distinguished from '' Cavicularia'' by the presence of a collar around the base of the sporophyte capsule, and a scattered arrangement of sperm-producing antheridia. Rhizoids and gemmae of ''Blasia'' may be parasitized by the mushroom '' Blasiphalia''. The genus name of ''Blasia'' is in honour of Blasius Biagi (ca. 1670 - 1735), an Italian clergyman from village of Vallombrosa Vallombrosa is a toponym which indicates both a forest and a ''frazione'', located within this forest, in the territory of the Commune of Reggello, in the Metropolitan City of Florence, in the Italian region of Tuscany.

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 ...

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] |
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.

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 ...

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, '' ...

Marchantiophyta
The Marchantiophyta () are a division of non-vascular land plants commonly referred to as hepatics or liverworts. Like mosses and hornworts, they have a gametophyte-dominant life cycle, in which cells of the plant carry only a single set of genetic information. It is estimated that there are about 9000 species of liverworts. Some of the more familiar species grow as a flattened leafless thallus, but most species are leafy with a form very much like a flattened moss. Leafy species can be distinguished from the apparently similar mosses on the basis of a number of features, including their single-celled rhizoids. Leafy liverworts also differ from most (but not all) mosses in that their leaves never have a costa (present in many mosses) and may bear marginal cilia (very rare in mosses). Other differences are not universal for all mosses and liverworts, but the occurrence of leaves arranged in three ranks, the presence of deep lobes or segmented leaves, or a lack of clearly diff ...

Molecular Phylogenetics
Molecular phylogenetics () is the branch of phylogeny that analyzes genetic, hereditary molecular differences, predominantly in DNA sequences, to gain information on an organism's evolutionary relationships. From these analyses, it is possible to determine the processes by which diversity among species has been achieved. The result of a molecular phylogenetic analysis is expressed in a phylogenetic tree. Molecular phylogenetics is one aspect of molecular systematics, a broader term that also includes the use of molecular data in taxonomy and biogeography. Molecular phylogenetics and molecular evolution correlate. Molecular evolution is the process of selective changes (mutations) at a molecular level (genes, proteins, etc.) throughout various branches in the tree of life (evolution). Molecular phylogenetics makes inferences of the evolutionary relationships that arise due to molecular evolution and results in the construction of a phylogenetic tree.
