Gomphidius Roseus
''Gomphidius roseus'', commonly known as the rosy spike-cap or pink gomphidius, is a gilled mushroom found in Europe. Although it has Lamella (mycology), gills, it is a member of the order Boletales, along with the boletes. It is a coral pink-capped mushroom which appears in pine forests in autumn, always near the related mushroom ''Suillus bovinus'', on which it appears to be Parasitism, parasitic. Taxonomy ''Gomphidius roseus'' was initially described by Sweden, Swedish mycologist Elias Magnus Fries as ''Agaricus glutinosus β roseus'' in 1821, before he elevated it to species status and gave its current genus and binomial name in 1838. The genus name is derived from the Ancient Greek, Greek 'γομφος' ''gomphos'' meaning "plug" or "large wedge-shaped nail". The specific name (botany), specific epithet ''roseus'' is the Latin adjective "pink".

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] |
