Crepidotus Applanatus
''Crepidotus applanatus'' is a species of fungi in the family Crepidotaceae. It was first described in 1796 by Christiaan Hendrik Persoon Christiaan Hendrik Persoon (1 February 1761 – 16 November 1836) was a German mycologist who made additions to Linnaeus' mushroom taxonomy. Early life Persoon was born in South Africa at the Cape of Good Hope, the third child of an immig ... and renamed by Paul Kummer in 1871. It is inedible. Description Like other ''Crepidotus'', it has brown spore powder. It grows on deciduous wood, to which it is attached at the side by at most only a rudimentary stem (it is " pleurotoid"). The cap grows up to 5 cm across and is hygrophanous, white to ochraceous when damp and drying whitish. The spores, around 5 - 6 µm, are almost spherical and warty. It is distinguished from the very similar ''Crepidotus stenocystis'' by the shape of the Cheilocystidia (clavate and unbranched) and the habitat on broad-leaf timber. References ...

Crepidotaceae
The Crepidotaceae are a family of basidiomycete fungi. Taxonomic Details The Crepidotaceae have recently undergone a revision based on phylogenetic analyses. The following characters are typical of this family: * saprotrophic on woody or herbaceous matter * gymnocarpic (having the hymenium open and attached to the surface of the thallus) * spore prints that are pale yellow to brown * simple cuticle (although some may have pileocystidia) * cheilocystidia A cystidium (plural cystidia) is a relatively large cell found on the sporocarp of a basidiomycete (for example, on the surface of a mushroom gill), often between clusters of basidia. Since cystidia have highly varied and distinct shapes that ar ... always present * spores entire, smooth or ornamented but never angular or reticulate References Agaricales families {{Agaricales-stub ...

Christiaan Hendrik Persoon
Christiaan Hendrik Persoon (1 February 1761 – 16 November 1836) was a German mycologist who made additions to Linnaeus' mushroom taxonomy. Early life Persoon was born in South Africa at the Cape of Good Hope, the third child of an immigrant Pomeranian father and Dutch mother. His mother died soon after he was born; at the age of thirteen his father (who died a year later) sent him to Europe for his education. Education Initially studying theology at Halle, at age 22 (in 1784) Persoon switched to medicine at Leiden and Göttingen. He received a doctorate from the "Kaiserlich-Leopoldinisch-Carolinische Deutsche Akademie der Naturforscher" in 1799. Later years He moved to Paris in 1802, where he spent the rest of his life, renting an upper floor of a house in a poor part of town. He was apparently unemployed, unmarried, poverty-stricken and a recluse, although he corresponded with botanists throughout Europe. Because of his financial difficulties, Persoon agreed to dona ...

Paul Kummer
Paul Kummer (22 August 1834 – 6 December 1912) was a minister, teacher, and scientist in Zerbst, Germany, known chiefly for his contribution to mycological nomenclature. Earlier classification of agarics by pioneering fungal taxonomist Elias Magnus Fries designated only a very small number of genera, with most species falling into ''Agaricus''. These few genera were divided into many ''tribi'' ("tribes"). In his 1871 work, ''Der Führer in die Pilzkunde'', Kummer raised the majority of Fries ''tribi'' to the status of genus, thereby establishing many of the generic names for agarics that are in use to this day. From 1857 to 1863, he worked as a private lecturer, then served as a curate A curate () is a person who is invested with the ''care'' or ''cure'' (''cura'') ''of souls'' of a parish. In this sense, "curate" means a parish priest; but in English-speaking countries the term ''curate'' is commonly used to describe clergy w ... in Zerbst (1863–1877).

Pleurotoid Fungi
Gilled fungi with laterally-attached fruiting bodies are said to be pleurotoid ( Gr.: ''pleurē'' + ''ōtos'' + ''-oid'', literally "side-ear form" or "having the likeness of ''Pleurotus'' ssp."). Pleurotoid fungi are typically wood-decay fungi and are found on dead and dying trees and coarse woody debris. The pleurotoid form is polyphyletic, having evolved a number of times within the Basidiomycota. Many species of pleurotoid fungi are commonly referred to as "oyster" mushrooms. Laterally-attached fungi with pores rather than gills are referred to as bracket fungi. Genera Agaricales * '' Cheimonophyllum'' * ''Crepidotus'' * '' Hohenbuehelia'' * '' Hypsizygus'' * '' Ossicaulis'' * '' Panellus'' * '' Phyllotopsis'' * '' Pleurocybella'' — Angel wings * ''Pleurotus'' — Oyster mushrooms * ''Resupinatus'' — Oysterlings * '' Schizophyllum'' * '' Tectella'' Polyporales * ''Lentinus'' * ''Panus'' Russulales * ''Lactifluus'' - some species * ''Lentinellus'' * ''Russula ' ...

Cheilocystidia
A cystidium (plural cystidia) is a relatively large cell found on the sporocarp of a basidiomycete (for example, on the surface of a mushroom gill), often between clusters of basidia. Since cystidia have highly varied and distinct shapes that are often unique to a particular species or genus, they are a useful micromorphological characteristic in the identification of basidiomycetes. In general, the adaptive significance of cystidia is not well understood. Classification of cystidia By position Cystidia may occur on the edge of a lamella (or analogous hymenophoral structure) (cheilocystidia), on the face of a lamella (pleurocystidia), on the surface of the cap (dermatocystidia or pileocystidia), on the margin of the cap (circumcystidia) or on the stipe (caulocystidia). Especially the pleurocystidia and cheilocystidia are important for identification within many genera. Sometimes the cheilocystidia give the gill edge a distinct colour which is visible to the naked eye or wit ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
