Ganodermataceae
The Ganodermataceae are a family (biology), family of fungi in the order Polyporales. , Index Fungorum accepts 8 genus, genera and 300 species in the family. The family was circumscription (taxonomy), circumscribed by Dutch mycologist Marinus Anton Donk in 1948 to contain polypores with a double basidiospore, spore wall. The inner wall is verruculose (with moderate-sized growths) to ornamented, thickened and usually coloured, while the outer wall is thin and hyaline.

Amauroderma
''Amauroderma'' is a genus of polypore fungi in the family Ganodermataceae. The genus, widespread in tropical areas, contains about 70 species. ''Amauroderma'' fungi are wood-decay fungi that feed and fruit on decayed branches and trunks. The Basidiocarp, fruit bodies of ''Amauroderma'' fungi comprise a pileus (mycology), cap and a stipe (mycology), stipe, and are typically woody, leathery, or corky in texture. The basidiospore, spores produced are usually spherical or nearly so, with a characteristic double wall structure that features U-shaped thickenings. Taxonomy ''Amauroderma'' was circumscription (taxonomy), circumscribed by American mycologist William Alphonso Murrill in 1905. He set ''Amauroderma regulicolor'' (previously known as ''Fomes regulicolor'' Berk. ex Cooke), collected from Cuba, as the type species. The name ''Amauroderma'' had been used previously by Narcisse Théophile Patouillard, Narcisse Patouillard, when he proposed that ''Ganoderma'' be divided into the ...

Tomophagus
''Tomophagus'' is a Basidiomycete bracket-fungus genus in the family Ganodermataceae. The type species '' Tomophagus colossus'', from the tropical Americas and Africa, has now been placed in the genus ''Ganoderma''. According to the ''Index Fungorum'' the remaining (monotypic) species is ''Tomophagus cattienensis''. The holotype of this was collected on tropical hardwood in Cát Tiên National Park, Vietnam, after-which it was named by its finders Ngoc Duong Pham and Le Xuan Tham; its placement was based on morphological evidence and ITS DNA barcoding DNA barcoding is a method of species identification using a short section of DNA from a specific gene or genes. The premise of DNA barcoding is that by comparison with a reference library of such DNA sections (also called "sequences"), an indiv ....

Polyporales
The Polyporales are an order of about 1800 species of fungi in the division Basidiomycota. The order includes some (but not all) polypores as well as many corticioid fungi and a few agarics (mainly in the genus ''Lentinus''). Many species within the order are saprotrophic, most of them wood-rotters. Some genera, such as ''Ganoderma'' and ''Fomes'', contain species that attack living tissues and then continue to degrade the wood of their dead hosts. Those of economic importance include several important pathogens of trees and a few species that cause damage by rotting structural timber. Some of the Polyporales are commercially cultivated and marketed for use as food items or in traditional Chinese medicine. Taxonomy History The order was originally proposed in 1926 by Swiss mycologist Ernst Albert Gäumann to accommodate species within the phylum Basidiomycota producing basidiocarps (fruit bodies) showing a gymnocapous mode of development (forming the spore-bearing surface ext ...

Ganoderma
''Ganoderma'' is a genus of polypore fungi in the family Ganodermataceae that includes about 80 species, many from tropical regions. They have a high genetic diversity and are used in traditional Asian medicines. ''Ganoderma'' can be differentiated from other polypores because they have a double-walled basidiospore. They may be called ''shelf mushrooms'' or bracket fungi. Etymology The name ''Ganoderma'' is derived from the Greek ''ganos''/γάνος "brightness, sheen", hence "shining" and ''derma''/δέρμα "skin". History The genus ''Ganoderma'' was established as a genus in 1881 by Karsten and included only one species, ''G. lucidum'' (Curtis) Karst. Previously, this taxon was characterized as ''Boletus lucidus'' Curtis (1781) and then ''Polyporus lucidus'' (Curtis) Fr. (1821) (Karsten 1881). The species ''P. lucidus'' was characterized by having a laccate (shiny or polished) pileus and stipe, and this is a character that Murrill suspected was the reason for Karsten's ...

Ganodermites
''Ganodermites'' is an extinct monotypic genus of polypore fungus in the family Ganodermataceae. Its single member, ''Ganodermites libycus'', is known from a structurally preserved (permineralized) fruit body from the Lower Miocene (near the start of the Neogene) (23.03–15.7 Ma) of Jebel Zelten in North Africa. The fungus is thought to be closely related to the modern genus ''Ganoderma'' because of shared characteristics, including distinct growth increments in the fruit body, a stratified hymenium, equidistantly arranged pores, and double-layered spore walls. ''G. libycus'' has a trimitic hyphal system, with generative, skeletal, and binding hyphae. The fruit body of ''G. libycus'' has tunnels containing fecal pellets, suggesting that the fungus was visited by fungivorous arthropod Arthropods (, (gen. ποδός)) are invertebrate animals with an exoskeleton, a Segmentation (biology), segmented body, and paired jointed appendages. Arthropods form the phy ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Trachyderma
''Trachyderma'' is a genus of fungi in the family Ganodermataceae. The genus name is derived from the Ancient Greek Ancient Greek includes the forms of the Greek language used in ancient Greece and the ancient world from around 1500 BC to 300 BC. It is often roughly divided into the following periods: Mycenaean Greek (), Dark Ages (), the Archaic peri ... words ("rough") and ("skin").

Haddowia
''Haddowia'' is a genus of polypore fungi in the family Ganodermataceae. The genus was circumscribed by Belgian mycologist René Léopold Steyaert in 1972, with '' Haddowia longipes'' (previously ''Amauroderma'') as the type species In zoological nomenclature, a type species (''species typica'') is the species name with which the name of a genus or subgenus is considered to be permanently taxonomically associated, i.e., the species that contains the biological type specimen ....

Humphreya
''Humphreya'' is a genus of four species of polypore fungi in the family Ganodermataceae. The genus was circumscribed by Belgian mycologist René Léopold Steyaert in 1972. He proposed ''Humphreya'' as a genus segregate from ''Ganoderma'', typified by ''Ganoderma lloydi'' Pat. & Har., and included ''Ganoderma coffeatum'' and the newly described '' Humphreya endertii''. '' H. eminii'' was transferred to the genus (from ''Ganoderma'') by Leif Ryvarden in 1980. ''Humphreya'' differs from ''Ganoderma'' by the velvety cap and stipe surfaces of its fruit bodies. Microscopically, the spores of ''Humphreya'' feature a crested endosporium (the innermost layer of the spore wall). The generic name ''Humphreya'' honours Clarence John Humphrey (1882–1970), a scientist and mycologist specializing in wood-decay fungi A wood-decay or xylophagous fungus is any species of fungus that digests moist wood, causing it to rot. Some species of wood-decay fungi attack dead wood, such as bro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Ganoderma Lucidum
''Ganoderma lucidum'' is a red-colored species of ''Ganoderma'' with a limited distribution in Europe and parts of China, where it grows on decaying hardwood trees. Wild populations have been found in the United States in California and Utah, but were likely introduced anthropogenically and naturalized. Etymology The scientific name, ''Ganoderma lucidum'', uses the genus name, ''Ganoderma'' (derived from the Greek ganos/γάνος "brightness, sheen", hence "shining" and derma/δέρμα "skin") combined with ''lucidum'' from Latin for "lucidus" as light, bright or clear. Taxonomy and history The history of the ''Ganoderma lucidum'' taxon is tied to the history of ''Ganoderma'' as a genus. Karsten first described the ''Ganoderma'' in 1881 and included only one species in the genus, ''G. lucidum'' (Curtis) Karst. Previously, it was called ''Boletus lucidus'' Curtis (1781) and then ''Polyporus lucidus'' (Curtis) Fr. (1821). Patouillard revised Karsten's genus Ganoderma to include ...

Marinus Anton Donk
Marinus Anton Donk (14 August 1908 – 2 September 1972) was a Dutch mycologist. He specialized in the taxonomy and nomenclature of mushrooms. Rolf Singer wrote in his obituary that he was "one of the most outstanding figures of contemporary mycology." Early life Donk was born in Situbondo, East Java in 1908, and completed secondary school in The Hague, Netherlands. He studied biology at the University of Utrecht, starting in 1927. As a graduate student in mycology he completed the work for his 1931 "Revisie van de Nederlandse Heterobasidiomyceteae" (Revision of the Dutch Heterobasidiomycetes). He completed his studies and attained a doctorate degree in 1933 with the second part of his work, ''Revisie van de Nederlandse Heterobasidiomyceteae II''. Afterwards he returned to Java, where he worked from 1934 to 1940 as a teacher, and, starting from 1941 as a curator in the herbarium of the Buitenzorg Botanical Garden. He was interned in a Japanese prison camp from 1942 to 1945. Du ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
