Efibula Clarkii
''Efibula'' is a genus of 16 species of crust fungi in the family Irpicaceae. Taxonomy The genus was circumscription (taxonomy), circumscribed by Sheng-Hua Wu in 1990 with ''Efibula tropica'' as the type species. ''Efibula'' contains ''Phlebia''-like fungi without clamp connections. Although traditionally classified in the family Phanerochaetaceae, recent molecular phylogenetic analysis supports the placement of ''Efibula '' in the Irpicaceae. Species , Index Fungorum accepts 16 species in ''Efibula'': *''Efibula americana'' Floudas & Hibbett (2015) *''Efibula aurata'' (Bourdot & Galzin) Zmitr. & Spirin (2006) *''Efibula avellanea'' (Bres.) Sheng H.Wu (1990) *''Efibula bubalina'' (Burds.) Zmitr. & Spirin (2006) *''Efibula clarkii'' Floudas & Hibbett (2015) *''Efibula cordylines'' (G.Cunn.) Zmitr. & Spirin (2006) *''Efibula corymbata'' (G.Cunn.) Zmitr. & Spirin (2006) *''Efibula deflectens'' (P.Karst.) Sheng H.Wu (1990) *''Efibula ginnsii'' (Sheng H.Wu) Zmitr. & Spirin (2006) *''E ...

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 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
