Geastrum Argentatum
''Geastrum'' (orthographical variant ''Geaster'') is a genus of puffball-like mushrooms in the family Geastraceae. Many species are known commonly as earthstars. The name, which comes from ''geo'' meaning ''earth'' and meaning ''star'', refers to the behavior of the outer peridium. At maturity, the outer layer of the fruiting body splits into segments which turn outward creating a star-like pattern on the ground. The inner peridium is called a spore sac. In some species, the outer peridium splits from a middle layer, causing the spore sac to arch off the ground. If the outer peridium opens when wet and closes when dry, it is described as hygroscopic. In some species, the inner peridium is borne on a stalk or pedicel. The columella is a column-like clump of sterile tissue found inside the inner peridium. The network of fertile tissue inside the inner peridium, the capillitium, arises from the columella And is where basidia and basidiospores are produced. The mouth in most species ...

Geastrum Triplex
''Geastrum triplex'' is a fungus found in the detritus and leaf litter of hardwood forests around the world. It is commonly known as the collared earthstar, the saucered earthstar, or the triple earthstar—and less commonly by the alternative species name ''Geastrum indicum''. It is the largest member of the genus ''Geastrum'' (or Geastrum, earthstar fungi) and expanded mature specimens can reach a tip-to-tip length of up to . Immature basidiocarp, fruit bodies are spherical—somewhat resembling puffballs with pointed beaks—and are partially or completely buried in the ground. As the fungus matures, the outer layer of tissue (the exoperidium) splits into four to eight pointed segments that spread outwards and downwards, lifting and exposing the spherical inner spore sac. The spore sac contains the gleba, a mass of spores and fertile Mycelium, mycelial tissue that when young is white and firm, but ages to become brown and powdery. Often, a layer of the exoperidium splits ar ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Geastrum Berkeleyi
''Geastrum berkeleyi'', or Berkeley's earthstar, is an inedible species of mushroom belonging to the genus ''Geastrum'', or earthstar fungi. Despite being a very uncommon mushroom, it has a wide geographical distribution, having been documented in Northern and Eastern Europe, such as Austria, the Czech Republic, Denmark, Estonia, Finland, Great Britain, Hungary, the Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia, Spain, Sweden and Turkey, and parts of Eastern Asia, such as China and Japan. The species was thought extinct in Poland until it was discovered growing in a reserve near Chęciny. ''G. berkeleyi'' can be distinguished from other species of ''Geastrum'' by the flat bipyramidal shape of the calcium oxalate crystals found on its endoperidium The peridium is the protective layer that encloses a mass of spores in fungi. This outer covering is a distinctive feature of gasteroid fungi. Description Depending on the species, the peridium may vary from being paper-thin to thick and rubbe .... ...

Geastrum Britannicum
''Geastrum britannicum'' is a fungal species in the family Geastraceae. Its recommended English name is vaulted earthstar. Like other earthstars, the basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are initially globose. Their thick outer skin splits open at maturity to expose the puffball-like spore sac surrounded by the split rays of the outer skin. In the vaulted earthstar, the rays split apart and form an arch, raising the spore sac upwards. Taxonomy ''Geastrum britannicum'' was described in 2015 from England by Spanish mycologist Juan Carlos Zamora, based on a holotype found on a roadside verge in Cockley Cley under pine trees in 2000 by Jonathan Revett, with paratypes from New Milton and Surlingham. The species was already the subject of research at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew where more than a dozen additional collections had been studied from England and Wales, the earliest dating back to 1994. The new species had previously been confused with ''Geastrum quadrifidum'' and '' G. fornicatu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
