Ammonia Fungi
Ammonia fungi are fungi that develop fruit bodies exclusively or relatively abundantly on soil that has had ammonia or other nitrogen-containing materials added. The nitrogen materials react as bases by themselves, or after decomposition. The addition of ammonia or urea causes numerous chemical and biological changes, for examples, the pH of soil litter is increased to 8–10; the high alkaline conditions interrupts the process of nutrient recycling. The mechanisms of colonization, establishment, and occurrence of fruiting bodies of ammonia fungi has been researched in the field and the laboratory.

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 ...

Coprinopsis Phlyctidospora
''Coprinopsis'' is a genus of mushrooms in the family Psathyrellaceae. ''Coprinopsis'' was split out of the genus ''Coprinus'' based on molecular data.

Sagaranella Tylicolor
''Sagaranella'' is a mushroom genus in the family Lyophyllaceae that has been segregated from both ''Lyophyllum'' and ''Tephrocybe'' using molecular analyses. The species resemble grey colored '' Collybia''s and grow in nitrogen-rich environments. Etymology The name ''Sagaranella'' honours Professor Naohiko Sagara, a Japanese mycologist who has extensively studied ammonia fungi such as this genus.

Laccaria Bicolor
''Laccaria bicolor'' is a small tan-colored mushroom with lilac gills. It is edible but not choice, and grows in mixed birch and pine woods. It is found in the temperate zones of the globe, in late summer and autumn. ''L. bicolor'' is an ectomycorrhizal fungus used as a soil inoculant in agriculture and horticulture. Taxonomy It was initially described as a subspecies of ''Laccaria laccata'' by French mycologist René Maire in 1937, before being raised to species rank by P.D. Orton in 1960. Like others in its genus it has the common name of 'Deceiver', because of its propensity to fade and become hard to identify. Description The cap is across, convex to flat, and with a central navel. It is often incurved at the margin, and is various shades of ochraceous-buff, and tan, depending on moisture content. The fibrillose stipe is the same color, and with a distinct lilac down towards the base. The flesh is whitish, tinged with pink, or ochraceous, and has no apparent distinct ...

Laccaria Amethystina
''Laccaria amethystina'', commonly known as the "amethyst deceiver", is a small brightly colored mushroom, that grows in deciduous and coniferous forests. The mushroom itself is edible, but can absorb arsenic from the soil. Because its bright amethyst coloration fades with age and weathering, it becomes difficult to identify, hence the common name "deceiver". This common name is shared with its close relation ''Laccaria laccata'' that also fades and weathers. It is found mainly in Northern temperate zones, though it is reported to occur in tropical Central and South America as well. Recently, some of the other species in the genus have been given the common name of "deceiver". Taxonomy This species was first described in 1778 by well-known English botanist and apothecary William Hudson as ''Agaricus amethystinus'', and later put into the genus ''Laccaria'' by Mordecai Cubitt Cooke. The amethyst deceiver has had many binomials over a great many years, but reference to the amet ...

Hebeloma Vinosophyllum
''Hebeloma vinosophyllum'' is a toxic species of agaric fungus in the family Hymenogastraceae. The species was described by Japanese mycologist Tsuguo Hongo in 1965. It was recorded from Vietnamese ''Pinus kesiya ''Pinus kesiya'' (Khasi pine, Benguet pine or three-needled pine) is one of the most widely distributed pines in Asia. Its range extends south and east from the Khasi Hills in the northeast Indian state of Meghalaya, to northern Thailand, Philipp ...'' forests in 2014, its first record in Southeast Asia.

Hebeloma Radicosum
''Hebeloma radicosum'', commonly known as the rooting poison pie, is a species of agaric fungus in the family Hymenogastraceae. Fruit bodies (mushrooms) can be identified by the tapering root-like stipe base, as well as the almond-like odor. Found in Japan, Europe, and North America, it is an ammonia fungus, and fruits on mole, mouse, or shrew middens. Taxonomy The species was first described scientifically by Jean Baptiste François Pierre Bulliard in 1784 as ''Agaricus radicosus''. Adalbert Ricken transferred it to ''Hebeloma'' in 1915. Historical synonyms have resulted from the transfer of the fungus to the genera ''Pholiota'' by Paul Kummer in 1871, ''Dryophila'' by Lucien Quélet in 1886, ''Myxocybe'' by Victor Fayod in 1889, and ''Roumeguerites'' by Marcel Locquin in 1979. Molecular analysis places the species in a basal position of the ''Myxocybe'' clade. This grouping of phylogenetically related species contains members that form a pseudorrhiza, such as '' H. dan ...

Hebeloma Radicosoides
''Hebeloma radicosoides'' is a species of agaric fungus in the family Hymenogastraceae. Found in Japan, it was described as new to science in 2000. The mushroom's long rooting stipe and membranous ring give it an appearance similar to '' H. radicosum''. Like that species, it is also an ammonia fungus, growing on soil containing urea Urea, also known as carbamide, is an organic compound with chemical formula . This amide has two amino groups (–) joined by a carbonyl functional group (–C(=O)–). It is thus the simplest amide of carbamic acid. Urea serves an important r ....

Hebeloma Luchuense
''Hebeloma'' is a genus of fungi in the family Hymenogastraceae. Found worldwide, it contains the poison pie or fairy cakes ''(Hebeloma crustuliniforme)'' and the ghoul fungus ''( H. aminophilum)'', from Western Australia, which grows on rotting animal remains. Etymology The generic name is a compound Ancient Greek word ''hēbē'' (ἥβη), "youth" or "puberty" and the suffix -''loma'' (λόμα), a fringe (pertaining to the fungal veil). Thus, ''Hebeloma'' translates as "fringe of youth", in reference to how the fungal veil is only seen in immature specimens. Taxonomic placement The placement of the genus ''Hebeloma'' within the fungal taxonomic tree has varied over time. Historically it has been most often placed in the order Agaricales but was placed Cortinariales in the 8th edition of the Dictionary of the Fungi. The most recent inter-generic placement (Knudsen & Vesterholt, 2nd ed, 2012)) places it the family Hymenogastraceae within Agaricales The fungal order Agari ...
