Hygrophoraceae
The Hygrophoraceae are a family of fungi in the order Agaricales. Originally conceived as containing white-spored, thick-gilled agarics (gilled mushrooms), including ''Hygrophorus'' and ''Hygrocybe'' species (the waxcaps or waxy caps), DNA evidence has extended the limits of the family, so it now contains not only agarics, but also basidiolichens and corticioid fungi. Species are thus diverse and are variously ectomycorrhizal, lichenized, associated with mosses, or saprotrophic. The family contains 25 genera and over 600 species. None is of any great economic importance, though fruit bodies of some ''Hygrocybe'' and ''Hygrophorus'' species are considered edible and may be collected for sale in local markets. Taxonomy History The family Hygrophoraceae was first proposed by Dutch botanist Johannes Paulus Lotsy (1907) to accommodate agarics with thick, waxy lamellae (gills) and white spores. Lotsy's concept of the family included not only the waxcap-related genera ''Hygrophorus'', ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hygrocybe
''Hygrocybe'' is a genus of agarics (gilled fungi) in the family Hygrophoraceae. Called waxcaps in English (sometimes waxy caps in North America), basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are often brightly coloured and have dry to waxy caps, white spores, and smooth, ringless stems. In Europe they are characteristic of old, unimproved grasslands (termed waxcap grasslands) which are a declining habitat, making many ''Hygrocybe'' species of conservation concern. Four of these waxcap-grassland species, ''Hygrocybe citrinovirens'', '' H. punicea'', '' H. spadicea'', and '' H. splendidissima'', are assessed as globally "vulnerable" on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Elsewhere waxcaps are more typically found in woodlands. Most are ground-dwelling and all are believed to be biotrophs. Around 150 species are recognized worldwide. Fruit bodies of several ''Hygrocybe'' species are considered edible and are sometimes offered for sale in local markets. Taxonomy History ''Hygrocybe'' was firs ...

Dictyonema
''Dictyonema'' is a genus of mainly tropical basidiolichens in the family Hygrophoraceae. The ''Dictyonema'' symbiosis Most lichens are a symbiosis between an ascomycete fungus and a photosynthetic green alga. However, a small percentage of lichens (approximately 10%) are cyanolichens and contain a photosynthetic cyanobacterium instead of green algae, and an even smaller number (less than 1%) are basidiolichens and contain a basidiomycete fungus instead of an ascomycete. This makes ''Dictyonema'' more closely related to mushrooms than it is to most other lichens. Taxonomy and naming The genus ''Dictyonema'' was first named in 1822 by Carl Adgardh and Carl Kunth after examining a novel fungus that was sent to them from Brazil.Kunth, CS, and CA Agardh. 1822. Synopsis Plantarum, Quas in Itinere ad Plagam Aequinoctialem Orbis Novi, Collegerunt Al. de Humboldt et Am. Bonpland (Paris). Volume 1, pg. 1.

Cora (fungus)
''Cora'' is a large genus of basidiolichens in the family Hygrophoraceae. Modern molecular phylogenetics research has revealed a rich biodiversity in this largely tropical genus. Taxonomy ''Cora'' was originally circumscribed by the Swedish "Father of Mycology", Elias Magnus Fries, in 1825. He included a single species, until then known as ''Thelephora pavonia'' . Until relatively recently, ''Cora'' was thought to contain one species, or was placed into synonymy with ''Dictyonema''. ''Cora'' was recognized as an independent genus separate from ''Dictyonema'' in 2013. Molecular phylogenetic analysis using DNA barcoding of the internal transcribed spacer region has revealed the existence of almost 200 species in the genus, and about 450 species are predicted to exist. Habitat and distribution Mexico and (at least formerly) Florida are the northernmost distribution points for the genus ''Cora'', while its southernmost locale is southern Chile. It has its highest biodiversity in t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Eonema
''Eonema'' is a fungal genus in the family Hygrophoraceae. It is monotypic, consisting of the single corticioid species ''Eonema pyriforme''. This fungus was previously classified in the genus '' Athelia'' until molecular analysis demonstrated that it was unrelated to the Atheliales and instead nested within the Hygrophoraceae.

Porpolomopsis
''Porpolomopsis'' is a genus of fungi in the family Hygrophoraceae. It was circumscribed in 2008 by Andreas Bresinsky to contain '' P. calyptriformis''. Bresinsky separated it from the genus ''Hygrocybe'' based on its color and the absence of DOPA pigments. '' P. lewelliniae'' was transferred to the genus based on DNA and morphology. Three undescribed species also belong in the genus. Species of ''Porpolomopsis'' have also formerly been placed in the genus '' Humidicutis'', to which they are closely related but differ in having narrowly attached or free gills and the shape of the hyphae in their cap. Species of ''Porpolomopsis'' are found in Europe, North America, Asia, Australia and New Zealand.

Aeruginospora
''Aeruginospora'' is a genus of fungi in the family Hygrophoraceae. It was formerly placed in the family Tricholomataceae, but it was moved to the Hygrophoraceae in a recent review of the family based on its morphological similarity to '' Chrysomphalina'' and especially '' Haasiella''. It might be that ''Haasiella'', which differs in spore color and ecology, is a junior synonym of ''Aeruginospora'', but this has not yet been tested in a molecular phylogenetics study. The genus, described by Franz Xaver Rudolf von Höhnel in 1908, currently contains two species found in New Zealand and Indonesia Indonesia, officially the Republic of Indonesia, is a country in Southeast Asia and Oceania between the Indian and Pacific oceans. It consists of over 17,000 islands, including Sumatra, Java, Sulawesi, and parts of Borneo and New Guine ....

Cantharocybe
''Cantharocybe'' is a genus of mushroom-forming fungi in the family Hygrophoraceae. The genus was described by American mycologists Howard E. Bigelow and Alexander H. Smith in 1973. ''Cantharocybe'' contains three species: the type '' C. gruberi'', and '' C. brunneovelutina'' from Belize, reported as new to science in 2011, and '' C. virosa'', transferred from " Megacollybia", and found in Bangladesh and India.

Chromosera
''Chromosera'' is a genus of fungi in the family Hygrophoraceae. Within the family Hygrophoraceae it is closely related to the genus '' Gloioxanthomyces''. It contains five species. The generic name honors the mycologist Meinhard Moser, and also alludes (''chromos'') to the distinct coloration of the mushrooms, by overlapping 'chromos' with 'Moser', hence ''Chromosera''.

Humidicutis
''Humidicutis'' is a small genus of brightly coloured agarics, the majority of which are found in Eastern Australia. They were previously described as members of ''Hygrocybe''. The genus ''Porpolomopsis'' is closely related, and the species in it were once placed in ''Humidicutis''. The genus was described by mycologist Rolf Singer in 1959. The generic name derives from the Latin ''humidus'' "moist" and ''cutis'' "skin", referring to their moist caps.

Acantholichen
''Acantholichen'' is a fungal genus in the family Hygrophoraceae. The genus was circumscribed by Norwegian lichenologist Per Magnus Jørgensen to contain the type, and at that time, only species, the basidiolichen ''Acantholichen pannarioides'', discovered originally in Costa Rica in 1998. This species has a bluish, gelatinous thallus, and a fine, white powdery bloom covering the hairy upper surface; this surface is said to resemble "an unshaven chin". Five additional species, all basidiolichens, were added to the genus in 2016 following an in-depth analysis of specimens collected from the Galápagos, Costa Rica, Brazil and Colombia.

Haasiella
''Haasiella'' is a fungal genus in the family Hygrophoraceae. It is a monotypic genus that contains only the species ''Haasiella splendidissima''. ''Haasiella venustissima'', formerly considered to be a distinct species based on its one and two-spored basidia, was found by a DNA study to be synonymous with ''H. splendidissima''. ''H. splendidissima'' is only known from Europe and is saprotrophic on wood. ''Haasiella'' was described as a new genus in 1966 by Czech mycologists František Kotlaba and Zdeněk Pouzar. It is most closely related to the genus ''Hygrophorus''. The genus name is in honour of Hans Haas, a German mycologist, who was a specialist on ''Agaricus'' from Schnait near Stuttgart.
