Hydnaceae
The Hydnaceae are a family of fungi in the order Cantharellales. Originally the family encompassed all species of fungi that produced basidiocarps (fruit bodies) having a hymenium (spore-bearing surface) consisting of slender, downward-hanging tapering extensions referred to as "spines" or "teeth", whether they were related or not. This artificial but often useful grouping is now more generally called the hydnoid or tooth fungi. In the strict, modern sense, the Hydnaceae are limited to the genus ''Hydnum'' and related genera, with basidiocarps having a toothed or poroid hymenium. Species in the family are ectomycorrhizal, forming a mutually beneficial relationship with the roots of trees and other plants. ''Hydnum repandum'' (the hedgehog fungus) is an edible species, commercially collected in some countries and often marketed under the French name ''pied de mouton''.

Cantharellales
The Cantharellales are an order of fungi in the class Agaricomycetes. The order includes not only the chanterelles (Cantharellaceae), but also some of the tooth fungi (Hydnaceae), clavarioid fungi ( Aphelariaceae and Clavulinaceae), and corticioid fungi ( Botryobasidiaceae). Species within the order are variously ectomycorrhizal, saprotrophic, associated with orchids, or facultative plant pathogens. Those of economic importance include edible and commercially collected ''Cantharellus'', ''Craterellus'', and ''Hydnum'' species as well as crop pathogens in the genera '' Ceratobasidium'' and '' Thanatephorus'' (''Rhizoctonia''). Taxonomy The order was originally proposed in 1926 by German mycologist Ernst Albert Gäumann to accommodate species within the phylum Basidiomycota having "stichic" basidia (basidia with nuclear spindles arranged longitudinally). On this basis, he included three families within the Cantharellales: the Cantharellaceae (including the Hydnaceae), the Clavul ...

Hydnum Repandum
''Hydnum repandum'', commonly known as the sweet tooth, wood hedgehog or hedgehog mushroom, is a basidiomycete fungus of the family Hydnaceae. First described by Carl Linnaeus in 1753, it is the type species of the genus ''Hydnum''. The fungus produces fruit bodies (mushrooms) that are characterized by their spore-bearing structures—in the form of spines rather than gills—which hang down from the underside of the cap. The cap is dry, colored yellow to light orange to brown, and often develops an irregular shape, especially when it has grown closely crowded with adjacent fruit bodies. The mushroom tissue is white with a pleasant odor and a spicy or bitter taste. All parts of the mushroom stain orange with age or when bruised. A mycorrhizal fungus, ''Hydnum repandum'' is broadly distributed in Europe where it fruits singly or in close groups in coniferous or deciduous woodland. This is a choice edible species, although mature specimens can develop a bitter taste. It has no ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Sistotrema
''Sistotrema'' is a genus of fungi in the family Hydnaceae. The genus contains at least 55 species and has a worldwide distribution. The type species is ''Sistotrema confluens'' Pers. (1794). Ecology The genus includes both terricolous and lignicolous species. Most species of ''Sistotrema'' are white rotting saprotrophs which often occur on highly decayed wood and on bark of attached, dead branches, but endophytic and ectomycorrhizal nutritional modes also exist in some species. ''Sistotrema confluens'' is ectomycorrhizal and ''S. alboluteum'', ''S. muscicola'' and ''S. albopallescens'' are suspected of being so. In the genus only ''S. confluens'' and ''S. subconfluens'' are known to grow on soil. Basidiocarps of ''Sistotrema'' generally start spore production very early. Morphology Only the type species ''S. confluens'', and ''S. subconfluens'', form stipitate basidiocarps while all other species in the genus form resupinate, corticioid basidiocarps. There is large var ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Hydnum
''Hydnum'' is a genus of fungi in the family Hydnaceae. They are notable for their unusual spore-bearing structures of teeth rather than gills. The best known are the edible species ''Hydnum repandum'' and '' H. rufescens''. There are no known toxic varieties of ''Hydnum.'' Widely regarded as important maintainers of forest eco systems, the ''Hydnum'' genus is known to have ectomycorrhizal relationships with multiple plant families. ''Hydnum'' has many brittle, white teeth from which the spores drop. Some species have teeth which hang from ascending branches, while other species have teeth which project downwards from the undersurfaces of dead wood. Most ''hydnum'' are safe to eat, and contain many fatty acids and antioxidants. Taxonomy and diversity Hydnum are found on every continent that is habitable for plant life, with some preferring deep forest regions. Most of the common forms of hydnum, such as ''h. repandum'' and ''h. rufuscens'' can be located in Europe, East Asia, and A ...

Climacodon
''Climacodon'' is a widespread genus of tooth fungi in the family Phanerochaetaceae. Taxonomy The genus was circumscribed by Finnish mycologist Petter Karsten in 1881 with ''Climacodon septentrionalis'' as the type species. This fungus was originally described by Elias Magnus Fries in 1821 as ''Hydnum septentrionale''. ''Climacodon'' has been placed variously in the family Meruliaceae, or in the Phanerochaetaceae The Phanerochaetaceae are a family of mostly crust fungi in the order Polyporales.

Cantharellaceae
The Cantharellaceae are a family of fungi in the order Cantharellales. The family contains the chanterelles and related species, a group of fungi that superficially resemble agarics (gilled mushrooms) but have smooth, wrinkled, or gill-like hymenophores (spore-bearing undersurfaces). Species in the family are ectomycorrhizal, forming a mutually beneficial relationship with the roots of trees and other plants. Many of the Cantharellaceae, including the chanterelle (''Cantharellus cibarius''), the Pacific golden chanterelle (''Cantharellus formosus''), the horn of plenty (''Craterellus cornucopioides''), and the trumpet chanterelle (''Craterellus tubaeformis''), are not only edible, but are collected and marketed internationally on a commercial scale. Taxonomy History The family was originally described in 1888 by German mycologist Joseph Schröter to accommodate the chanterelles, which at that time were thought to be an evolutionary link between "primitive" ''Thelephora'' species ...

Ectomycorrhizal
An ectomycorrhiza (from Greek ἐκτός ', "outside", μύκης ', "fungus", and ῥίζα ', "root"; pl. ectomycorrhizas or ectomycorrhizae, abbreviated EcM) is a form of symbiotic relationship that occurs between a fungal symbiont, or mycobiont, and the roots of various plant species. The mycobiont is often from the phyla Basidiomycota and Ascomycota, and more rarely from the Zygomycota. Ectomycorrhizas form on the roots of around 2% of plant species, usually woody plants, including species from the birch, dipterocarp, myrtle, beech, willow, pine and rose families. Research on ectomycorrhizas is increasingly important in areas such as ecosystem management and restoration, forestry and agriculture. Unlike other mycorrhizal relationships, such as arbuscular mycorrhiza and ericoid mycorrhiza, ectomycorrhizal fungi do not penetrate their host's cell walls. Instead they form an entirely intercellular interface known as the Hartig net, consisting of highly branched hyphae formi ...
