Craterellus Fallax
''Craterellus fallax'' is a species of "black trumpets" that occurs in Eastern North America where it replaces the European taxon ''Craterellus cornucopioides''. ''C. fallax'' can also be separated by its yellow-orange spore print, where ''C. cornucopioides'' has a white spore print. It has often been considered a synonym of ''C. cornucopioides''. ''C. fallax'' is mycorrhizal, forming associations with '' Tsuga'' and ''Quercus'' species, among others. ''C. fallax'' is a choice edible fungus Edible mushrooms are the fleshy and edible fruit bodies of several species of macrofungi (fungi which bear fruiting structures that are large enough to be seen with the naked eye). They can appear either below ground (hypogeous) or above ground ..., although is not substantial. References {{Taxonbar, from=Q28376148 Cantharellaceae Edible fungi ...

Craterellus Cornucopioides
''Craterellus cornucopioides'', or horn of plenty, is an edible mushroom. It is also known as the black chanterelle, black trumpet, trompette de la mort (French), trombetta dei morti (Italian) or trumpet of the dead, djondjon (Haitian). The Cornucopia, in Greek mythology, referred to the magnificent horn of the nymph Amalthea (mythology), Amalthea's goat (or of herself in goat form), that filled itself with whatever meat or drink its owner requested. It has become the symbol of plenty. A possible origin for the name "trumpet of the dead" is that the growing mushrooms were seen as being played as trumpets by dead people under the ground. Description The fruiting body does not have a separation into stalk and cap, but is shaped like a funnel expanded at the top, normally up to about tall and in diameter, but said to grow exceptionally to tall. The upper and inner surface is black or dark grey, and rarely yellow. The lower and outer fertile surface is a much lighter shade of gre ...

Craterellus Fallax 2
''Craterellus'' is a genus of generally edible mushroom, edible fungi similar to the closely related Cantharellus, chanterelles, with some new species recently moved from the latter to the former. Both groups lack true Lamella (mycology), gills on the underside of their caps, though they often have gill-like wrinkles and ridges. General The three most common species, ''Craterellus cornucopioides, Cr. cornucopioides'', ''Craterellus lutescens, Cr. lutescens'' and ''Craterellus tubaeformis, Cr. tubaeformis'', are gathered commercially and, unlike ''Cantharellus'', can be easily preserved by drying. Molecular phylogenetics have been applied to the problem of discriminating between ''Craterellus'' and ''Cantharellus'' genera. Results indicate that the presence of a hollow stipe may be a synapomorphy (a trait corresponding to the evolutionary relationship) which reliably identifies ''Craterellus'' species. ''Cr. cornucopioides'' appears to be a single Polymorphism (biology), poly ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
