Leccinum Manzanitae 126166
''Leccinum'' is a genus of fungi in the family Boletaceae. It was the name given first to a series of fungi within the genus ''Boletus'', then erected as a new genus last century. Their main distinguishing feature is the small, rigid projections (scabers) that give a rough texture to their stalks. The genus name was coined from the Italian ''Leccino'', for a type of rough-stemmed bolete. The genus has a widespread distribution, especially in north temperate regions, and contains about 75 species. Ecology and habitat ''Leccinum'' species are generally found in the woodlands of Eurasia, and North America, forming ectomycorrhizal associations with trees. Most ''Leccinum'' species are mycorrhizal specialists, associating with trees of a single genus. ''Leccinum aurantiacum'' is an exception, however, occurring in mycorrhizal association with birch, poplar, and oak. Culinary value They have generally been presumed to be edible for the most part, but there are reports of poisoni ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Leccinum Aurantiacum
''Leccinum aurantiacum'' is a species of fungus in the genus ''Leccinum'' found in forests of Eurasia and North America. It has a large, characteristically red-capped fruiting body. In North America, it is sometimes referred to by the common name red-capped scaber stalk. Some uncertainties exist regarding the taxonomic classification of this species in Europe and North America. It is considered edible. Description The cap is orange-red and measures across. Its flesh is white, bruising at first burgundy, then grayish or purple-black. The underside of the cap has very small, whitish pores that bruise olive-brown. The stem measures tall and thick and can bruise blue-green. It is whitish, with short, rigid projections or scabers that turn to brown to black with age. Distribution and habitat ''L. aurantiacum'' can be found fruiting during summer and autumn in forests throughout Europe and North America. The association between fungus and host tree is mycorrhizal. In Europe, it h ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mushroom Poisoning
Mushroom poisoning is poisoning resulting from the ingestion of mushrooms that contain toxic substances. Its symptoms can vary from slight gastrointestinal discomfort to death in about 10 days. Mushroom toxins are secondary metabolites produced by the fungus. Mushroom poisoning is usually the result of ingestion of wild mushrooms after misidentification of a toxic mushroom as an edible species. The most common reason for this misidentification is a close resemblance in terms of color and general morphology of the toxic mushrooms species with edible species. To prevent mushroom poisoning, mushroom gatherers familiarize themselves with the mushrooms they intend to collect, as well as with any similar-looking toxic species. The safety of eating wild mushrooms may depend on methods of preparation for cooking. Signs and symptoms Poisonous mushrooms contain a variety of different toxins that can differ markedly in toxicity. Symptoms of mushroom poisoning may vary from gastric upset t ...

Leccinum Lepidum
''Leccinellum lepidum'' is a species of bolete in the family Boletaceae. Originally described as ''Boletus lepidus'' in 1965, the fungus has gone through controversial taxonomic treatments over the years and was subsequently transferred to genus'' Krombholziella'' in 1985, to genus ''Leccinum'' in 1990, and to genus '' Leccinellum'' in 2003. It is the sister-species of '' Leccinellum corsicum'', with which it had been erroneously synonymised by some authors in the past. Like other species of Boletaceae, it has tubes and pores instead of gills in its hymenial (fertile) surface and produces large, fleshy fruit bodies up to 20 cm across. Fruit bodies have the tendency to stain orange, violaceous grey and eventually blackish brown when handled or when the flesh is exposed to the air. Native to southern Europe, ''L. lepidum'' is abundantly present throughout the Mediterranean, growing in mycorrhizal symbiosis with various species of oak (''Quercus''), particularly evergreen m ...

Leccinum Insigne
''Leccinum insigne'', commonly known as the aspen bolete or the aspen scaber stalk, is a species of bolete fungus in the family Boletaceae. Described as new to science in 1966, it is found in North America, where its range extends from eastern Canada south to New Jersey and west to the northern Rocky Mountains. It is a good edible mushroom, but there have been documented cases of adverse reactions; these range from headaches to gastrointestinal distress, which may or may not be attributed to food sensitivities alone. The specific epithet ''insigne'' means "distinctive or outstanding". The cap is orange-brown and semi-fibrillose. The tubes are white to yellowish, staining brownish. The stipe is white with dark scabers. The flesh is white, sometimes turning gray, and possibly bluish in the base.

Leccinum Holopus
''Leccinum holopus'', commonly known as the white birch bolete, white bog bolete, or ghost bolete, is a species of bolete fungus in the family Boletaceae found in northern Asia, Europe, and northeastern North America. It associates with birch trees and is typically found in boggy or swampy areas, often growing among sphagnum moss. Fruitbodies (mushrooms) of ''L. holopus'' have convex caps measuring up to in diameter. Often pure white—especially in young fruitbodies—the caps sometimes become flushed with buff or brownish tints. The whitish surface of the stipe is covered with small, stiff, projecting scales (scabers) that become tan or darker in age. Some varieties of ''Leccinum holopus'' have been described that vary in cap color or staining reaction, but DNA evidence suggests that most are the same taxon. Although the fruitbodies are edible, opinions vary as to their culinary desirability. Taxonomy Initially named as a species of ''Boletus'' by German mycologist ...
