Entolomataceae
The Entolomataceae, also known as Rhodophyllaceae, are a large family of pink-spored terrestrial gilled mushrooms which includes the genera ''Entoloma'', '' Rhodocybe'', and ''Clitopilus''. The family collectively contains over 1500 species, the large majority of which are in ''Entoloma''. Genera formerly known as ''Leptonia'' and ''Nolanea'', amongst others, have been subsumed into ''Entoloma''. Mushrooms in the Entolomataceae typically grow in woodlands or grassy areas and have attached gills, differentiating them from the Pluteaceae, which have free gills. Description The very large family Entolomataceae has a cosmopolitan distribution, and species are common in both temperate and tropical climates. Although the shape of the fruiting body and many microscopic characteristics are very diverse, it forms a well-defined group due to the distinctive spores: the spore print is pink (or brownish or greyish pink) and the spores are ornamented with bumps or ridges, or have a sharp-p ...

List Of Entolomataceae Genera
The mushroom genera in the family Entolomataceae collectively contain over 1500 species, the large majority of which are in ''Entoloma''. There have been many different classifications of this group, and so the table below includes not only genera which are supposedly current, but also other proposed genera whose names have been important. For instance several taxa such as ''Leptonia'' and ''Nolanea'' were defined as independent genera, and are still sometimes used as such, but in recent classifications they have been demoted to being subgenera of ''Entoloma''. Previously there was a view that Entolomataceae with angular (polyhedral) spores should be classified in genus ''Entoloma'', those with bumpy spores should be in ''Rhodocybe'', and those with longitudinally ridged spores should be put in ''Clitopilus''. However DNA studies in 2009 and 2017 have changed this situation for the ''Rhodocybe''/''Clitopilus'' group. Firstly ''Clitopilus'' was found to be a clade embedded within ...

Rhodophana
''Rhodophana'' is a genus of mushroom-forming fungi in the family Entolomataceae. It originally described as a genus in 1947 by Robert Kühner, but the description was invalid until it was re-published in 1971, though as a subgenus of ''Rhodocybe''. It did not find favour as a genus until ''Rhodocybe'' was found to be polyphyletic and Kluting et al. resurrected the name in 2014 as part of a DNA-based reclassification of the family. ''Rhodophana'' is distinguished from other genera of the Entolomataceae because there are clamp connections and based on the structure of the cap skin. This genus has a thin outer cutis in a single layer merging into the main trama whilst other family members have a two-layer cap skin. The type species is ''Rhodophana nitellina''. The name is derived from "rhodon" (ῥόδον) = "rose" (referring to the pink colour of the spores and gills) and "phanos" (φανός) = bright or conspicuous (referring to the cap colour).

Rhodocybe
''Rhodocybe'' is a small genus of small and medium-sized brownish-pink spored mushrooms, or (following recent mycological research) it is a subgroup of genus ''Clitopilus''. These mushrooms are saprotrophic and most grow on the ground, but some are found on wood. Most are drab in appearance, though a few have vivid colors. Description The cap shape can be convex, plane, or depressed. The gills usually have adnate to decurrent attachment, rarely notched and the stems of the mushrooms are highly variable, but always lack a veil or volva. The spores are flesh-colored to salmon to brownish pink. Microscopically the shape of the spores is important in defining the group. About 20 species of ''Rhodocybe'' have been documented in Europe, but ''R. gemina'' (sometimes wrongly named ''R. truncata'') is the commonest and best known, though rare in Britain. The type species is ''Rhodocybe caelata'' (Fr.) Maire. Little is known about the edibility of ''Rhodocybes'', but one prominen ...

Clitocella
''Clitocella'' is a genus of mushroom-forming fungi in the family Entolomataceae. It was circumscribed in 2014 with ''Clitocella popinalis'' as the type species. The generic name refers to its similarities and close relationship to the genera ''Clitopilus'' and '' Clitopilopsis''; the Latin word ''cella'', meaning "storage place", alludes to "taxa not belonging to ''Clitopilus'' or ''Clitopilopsis''". Species have caps with centrally placed stipes; the gills are decurrent, and crowded closely together with a smooth edge. Mushrooms produce a pink spore print. The spores have thin walls (less than or equal to 0.5 μm) that are cyanophilic (absorbing blue stain) and surfaces ornamented with minute bumps that can be seen in profile and face views. This surface ornamentation distinguishes ''Clitocella'' from ''Clitopilus'', which has longitudinally ridged spores. ''Clitopilopsis'', in contrast, has thicker spore walls (greater than or equal to 0.5 μm). See also *List of Ag ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Entocybe
''Entocybe'' is a genus of agaric fungi in the family Entolomataceae. It was circumscribed in 2011 to contain several former ''Entoloma'' species having obscurely angular spores with 6–10 angles (some formerly classified as '' Rhodocybe''). Based on three locus DNA analysis, these species form a distinct, well-defined clade in the Entomolataceae that is basal to ''Entoloma''. The genus name, a combination of ''Entoloma'' and ''Rhodocybe'', alludes to similarities with species in those genera. '' E. melleogrisea'', found in a subboreal forest in Québec, Canada, was described as a new species in 2013. Unlike the mostly collybioid fruit bodies of most other ''Entocybe'' species, ''E. melleogrisea'' has a tricholoma ''Tricholoma'' is a genus of fungus that contains many fairly fleshy white-spored gilled mushrooms which are found worldwide generally growing in woodlands.

Leptonia
''Leptonia'' has been defined as a genus of small and medium sized pink-spored mushrooms that contains over 100 species. They are saprotrophic and most grow on the ground, but some are found on wood. The pileus (mycology), cap is thin and can be convex, plane, often depressed and usually has small scales. The lamella (mycology), gills are widely spaced, usually having wikt:adnexed, adnexed to wikt:adnate, adnate attachment (rarely they can be a little wikt:decurrent, decurrent) and the stipe (mycology), stalk is fragile. The basidiospore, spores are angular and are flesh colored to pink. Some ''Leptonia'' species have distinctive colors such as black, blue, green, yellow, and violet, but even these are difficult to identify. Most modern taxonomic authorities do not recognize ''Leptonia'' as a genus in its own right, but only as a subgenus of ''Entoloma''. Although little is known about the edible mushroom, edibility of mushrooms of this group, some are known to be poisonous ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Rhodocybella
''Rhodocybella'' is a genus of cyphelloid fungi in the Entolomataceae family. It contains just one known species, ''Rhodocybella rhododendri'', which is found in North America on ''Rhododendron'' stems after heavy rain. The white fruit bodies are mussel-shaped or cup-shaped and are up to across, either with no stipe, or with a very short one, no longer than . The fertile inner surface of the fruit body is pinkish and either has no gills at all, or shows only a rudimentary trace of them. The prefix ''Rhodo-'' means "red", ''cybe'' means "head", and ''-ella'' is a diminutive suffix. It is not to be confused with '' Rhodocyphella'', which is another small genus of cyphelloid fungi, but which belongs to family Tricholomataceae The Tricholomataceae are a large family of mushrooms within the Agaricales. Originally a classic "wastebasket taxon", the family included any white-, yellow-, or pink-spored genera in the Agaricales not already classified as belonging to e.g. the .... ...

Clitopilus
''Clitopilus'' is a genus of fungi in the family Entolomataceae. The genus has a widespread distribution, especially in northern temperate areas. Although a 2008 estimate suggested about 30 species in the genus, a more recent publication (2009) using molecular phylogenetics has redefined the genus to include many former ''Rhodocybe'' species.

Entoloma Sinuatum
''Entoloma sinuatum'' ( commonly known as the livid entoloma, livid agaric, livid pinkgill, leaden entoloma, and lead poisoner) is a poisonous mushroom found across Europe and North America. Some guidebooks refer to it by its older scientific names of ''Entoloma lividum'' or ''Rhodophyllus sinuatus''. The largest mushroom of the genus of pink- spored fungi known as ''Entoloma'', it is also the type species. Appearing in late summer and autumn, fruit bodies are found in deciduous woodlands on clay or chalky soils, or nearby parklands, sometimes in the form of fairy rings. Solid in shape, they resemble members of the genus ''Tricholoma''. The ivory to light grey-brown cap is up to across with a margin that is rolled inward. The sinuate gills are pale and often yellowish, becoming pink as the spores develop. The thick whitish stem has no ring. When young, it may be mistaken for the edible St George's mushroom ('' Calocybe gambosa'') or the miller (''Clitopilus prunulus''). It ...

Nolanea
''Nolanea'' is a genus of small gray to brown pink-spored mushrooms that are mostly saprotrophic and grow on the ground. The cap can be conical, convex or umbonate in shape, often with a silky top. The gills have adnexed to adnate attachment (they can also be a little decurrent) and the stalk is fragile and often hollow. The spores are angular and are flesh colored to pink. ''Nolaneas'' are well known for being difficult to identify. ''Nolanea'' was introduced as a ''tribus'' in Elias Magnus Fries' 1821 work ''Systema Mycologicum''. It is sometimes considered a subgenus of the large genus ''Entoloma'' rather than a genus in its own right.Moncalvo JM, et al. 2002. One hundred and seventeen clades of euagarics. Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution 23:357–400. Little is known about the edibility of ''Nolaneas'', and some are poisonous.

Clitopilus Prunulus
''Clitopilus prunulus'', commonly known as the miller or the sweetbread mushroom, is an edible pink-spored basidiomycete mushroom found in grasslands in Europe and North America. Growing solitary to gregarious in open areas of conifer/hardwood forests; common under Bishop pine (''Pinus muricata'') along the coast north of San Francisco; fruiting shortly after the fall rains. It has a grey to white cap and decurrent gills. Taxonomy Tyrolean naturalist Giovanni Antonio Scopoli described the miller as ''Agaricus prunulus'' in 1772. French mycologist Pierre Bulliard called it ''Agaricus orcella'' in 1793. German botanist Paul Kummer erected the genus ''Clitopilus'' and gave the miller its current name in 1871. ''C. prunulus'' is the type species of the genus, the limits of which have been redefined more than once. Populations from Yunnan and Taiwan previously considered consistent with ''C. prunulus'' were described as a separate species—''Clitopilus amygdaliformis''—in 2007. ...

Pluteaceae
The Pluteaceae are a family of small to medium-sized mushrooms which have free gill attachment and pink spores. Members of Pluteaceae can be mistaken for members of Entolomataceae, but can be distinguished by the angled spores and attached gills of the Entolomataceae. The four genera in the Pluteaceae comprise the widely distributed ''Volvariella'' and ''Pluteus'', the rare '' Chamaeota'', and ''Volvopluteus'', which was newly described in 2011 as a result of molecular analysis. The ''Dictionary of the Fungi'' (10th edition, 2008) estimates there are 364 species in the family. Selected species * ''Pluteus cervinus'', synonym ''Pluteus atricapillus'', or deer mushroom * ''Pluteus concentricus'' * ''Pluteus leoninus'' * ''Pluteus murinus'' * ''Pluteus salicinus'', or the knackers crumpet (hallucinogenic) * ''Volvariella volvacea'' * ''Volvopluteus gloiocephalus ''Volvopluteus gloiocephalus,'' commonly known as the big sheath mushroom, rose-gilled grisette, or stubble rose ...
