Lucien Quélet
Lucien Quélet in 1869 Lucien Quélet (14 July 1832 – 25 August 1899) was a French naturalist and mycologist. Quélet discovered several species of fungi and was the founder of the Société mycologique de France, a society devoted to mycological studies. Quélet, having been born in Montécheroux, Doubs, to a farmer, was soon orphaned, and spent his childhood with and was raised by his aunts. In his youth, he is known to have shown a great interest in mycology and botany in general, but also other subject areas such as ornithology and malacology, the study of mollusks. He was schooled at the Montbéliard college, and later studied medicine in Strasbourg. In 1884, he founded the mycological society known as the Société mycologique de France, of which he became the first president. Several years after this, in 1888, Quélet wrote a book, ''Flore mycologique de la France et des pays limitrophes'' (''Mycological flora of France and neighbouring countries''). Quélet also des ...

Bondarzewia Montana
''Bondarzewia mesenterica'' (synonym: ''Bondarzewia montana'') is a species of polypore fungus in the family Bondarzewiaceae. It was first described as ''Boletus mesentericus'' by Jacob Christian Schäffer in 1774. Hanns Kreisel transferred it to the genus ''Bondarzewia'' in 1984. The species is edible. The species grows at the base of conifers, developing from a sclerotium. The caps are tomentose with brownish zones, fan-shaped, often overlapping and growing from a shared base. The flesh is whitish with a pleasant odour when fresh. The species affects tree bases and roots with a white rot A wood-decay or xylophagous fungus is any species of fungus that digests moist wood, causing it to rot.

Russula Queletii
''Russula queletii'' otherwise known as the gooseberry russula, is a common, inedible, ''Russula'' mushroom found growing in groups, predominantly in spruce forest. Eating this mushroom causes abdominal pains. Description The cap is hemispherical when young, which later becomes convex. The colour can be wine-red and is usually 5 to 6 cm in diameter but can be up to 10 cm. The gills are white, which are brittle, and the spores are cream. The stem is a similar colour to the cap and evenly thick. The flesh is white and the scent is fruity.

Entoloma Queletii
''Entoloma'' is a large genus of terrestrial pink-gilled mushrooms, with about 1,000 species. Most have a drab appearance, pink gills which are attached to the stem, a smooth thick cap, and angular spores. Many entolomas are saprobic but some are mycorrhizal. The best-known member of the genus is the livid agaric ('' Entoloma sinuatum''), responsible for a number of poisonings over the years in Europe and North America, and ''Entoloma rhodopolium'' in Japan. Some southern hemisphere species such as ''Entoloma rodwayi'' and ''Entoloma viridomarginatum'' from Australia, and '' Entoloma hochstetteri'' from New Zealand, are very colourful, with caps of unusual shades of green and blue-green. Most entolomas are dull shades of olive, brown, or grey. Etymology The part '' ἐντός'' means "within, inside". The part "loma" is a noun-forming element derived from Greek '' λῶμ(α)'', "fringe, hem" and used in the botanical taxonomy for naming plants distinguished by having a f ...

Boletus Queletii
''Suillellus queletii'' (formerly ''Boletus queletii''), commonly known as the deceiving bolete, is an uncommon, edible mushroom in the genus ''Suillellus''. Naming Originally described by Stephan Schulzer von Müggenburg in 1885 as a species of '' Boletus'', the fungus was transferred to ''Suillellus'' in 2014. The epithet ''queletii'' was given in honour of Lucien Quélet. In 1796 Christiaan Hendrik Persoon described a type of bolete under the name ''Boletus erythropus'' and in the next 200 years the same name was widely used for a well-known species having red pores. But recently it was discovered that Persoon's mushroom had orange pores, that usage of the name ''B. erythropus'' was invalid, and now the red-pored species (after a separate change to the genus too) has to be called ''Neoboletus luridiformis)''. It is best not to use the ambiguous name ''Boletus erythropus'' any more, but according to Funga Nordica the fungus described by Persoon was actually ''Suillellus ...

Amanita Queletii
The genus ''Amanita'' contains about 600 species of agarics, including some of the most toxic known mushrooms found worldwide, as well as some well-regarded edible species. This genus is responsible for approximately 95% of the fatalities resulting from mushroom poisoning, with the death cap accounting for about 50% on its own. The most potent toxin present in these mushrooms is α-Amanitin. The genus also contains many edible mushrooms, but mycologists discourage mushroom hunters, other than experts, from selecting any of these for human consumption. Nonetheless, in some cultures, the larger local edible species of ''Amanita'' are mainstays of the markets in the local growing season. Samples of this are ''Amanita zambiana'' and other fleshy species in central Africa, '' A. basii'' and similar species in Mexico, '' A. caesarea'' and the "Blusher" ''Amanita rubescens'' in Europe, and '' A. chepangiana'' in South-East Asia. Other species are used for colouring sauces, such as the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Taxon
In biology, a taxon (back-formation from ''taxonomy''; plural taxa) is a group of one or more populations of an organism or organisms seen by taxonomists to form a unit. Although neither is required, a taxon is usually known by a particular name and given a particular ranking, especially if and when it is accepted or becomes established. It is very common, however, for taxonomists to remain at odds over what belongs to a taxon and the criteria used for inclusion. If a taxon is given a formal scientific name, its use is then governed by one of the nomenclature codes specifying which scientific name is correct for a particular grouping. Initial attempts at classifying and ordering organisms (plants and animals) were set forth in Carl Linnaeus's Linnaean taxonomy, system in ''Systema Naturae'', 10th edition (1758), as well as an unpublished work by Bernard de Jussieu, Bernard and Antoine Laurent de Jussieu. The idea of a unit-based system of biological classification was first mad ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Xerocomellus Armeniacus
''Rheubarbariboletus armeniacus'' is a small mushroom in the family Boletaceae native to Europe. It was formerly placed in the genera '' Boletus'', ''Xerocomus'', and ''Xerocomellus''. It acquired its current name when it was transferred to genus ''Rheubarbariboletus'' in 2015. Taxonomy French naturalist Lucien Quélet described this species as ''Boletus armeniacus'' in 1885, before placing it in the genus ''Xerocomus'' in his 1888 work ''Flore mycologique de la France et des pays limitrophes'' (''Mycological flora of France and neighbouring countries''). It was transferred to the new genus ''Xerocomellus'' described by Czech mycologist Josef Šutara in 2008, and then to ''Rheubarbariboletus'' in 2015. Description The cap is initially globular before expanding to become convex and flattening somewhat; it grows to a diameter of . The cap margin initially adheres to the stipe and has a tendency to become lobed or undulated in age. The cap surface is first somewhat pubescent but ...

Tricholoma Pardinum
''Tricholoma pardinum'', commonly known as spotted tricholoma, tiger tricholoma, tigertop, leopard knight, or dirty trich, is a gilled mushroom widely distributed across North America, Europe, and parts of Asia. It is generally found in beech woodland in summer and autumn. Two subspecies have been described from southern Europe. First officially described by Christiaan Hendrik Persoon in 1801, ''T. pardinum'' has had a confusing taxonomic history that extends over two centuries. In 1762, German naturalist Jacob Christian Schäffer described the species ''Agaricus tigrinus'' with an illustration corresponding to what is thought to be ''T. pardinum'', and consequently, the name ''Tricholoma tigrinum'' has been used erroneously in some European field guides. The fruit body of ''Tricholoma pardinum'' is an imposing mushroom with a pale grey cap up to in diameter that is covered with dark brownish to greyish scales. The gills are whitish, and are not attached to the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Russula Amethystina
''Russula amethystina'' is a conspicuous mushroom, which appears sporadically from mid-summer until the autumn under spruce and fir trees. In Northern Europe, it is very rare. It is not easy to distinguish from similarly coloured ''Russula'' species, and practically identical to '' Russula turci''. Description The cap ranges from 3 to 12 cm in diameter and varies in colour between violet, lilac, wine-red and wine-red-brown. The cap skin can be pulled off from the edge, right to the centre. The gills are from cream to bright yellow. The spores are yellow, subglobose, with small warts. The spore print is cream to light orange in color. The hollow stipe ranges from 3 to 6 cm in length and 1 to 2 cm in width; it is initially white, later becoming yellowish or brownish. Similar species include '' Russula turci'', which may smell like iodine near the base of the stalk; otherwise it can only be distinguished by microscopic differences in spore In biology, a spore is a unit ...

Lepiota Castanea
''Lepiota castanea'', commonly known as the chestnut dapperling or petite parasol, is a deadly poisonous, uncommon, gilled mushroom of the genus ''Lepiota'' in the order Agaricales. It is known to contain amatoxins and consuming this fungus can be a potentially lethal proposition. It was described by French mycologist Lucien Quélet in 1881. It has white gills and spores. They typically have rings on the stems, which in larger fungi are detachable and glide up and down the stem. It can be found in coniferous and deciduous woodlands, mostly singly or in small groups. Description The cap is broadly bell shaped to flat, dark red-brown; soon splitting and scaly, up to 3 cm in diameter. The spores and flesh are white, with a mild taste. The stem is typically chestnut brown. Toxicity Like several other species of the genus ''Lepiota'', it contains amatoxins which can result in severe liver toxicity.

Lepiota Aspera
''Echinoderma asperum'' or ''Lepiota aspera'', sometimes known commonly as the freckled dapperling, is a large, brownish, white-gilled mushroom, with a warty or scaly cap. It lives in woodland, or on bark chips in parks, and gardens. Taxonomy and naming First described by the eminent nineteenth century mycologist Persoon as ''Agaricus asper'', the freckled dapperling has been through several taxonomical name changes. Lucien Quélet moved it to genus ''Lepiota'' and since then it has long been known as ''Lepiota aspera'' (Pers.) Quel. For a time it was placed with the other "spiny" ''Lepiota'' species into a separate sub-genus called ''Echinoderma'', and in 1978 Marcel Bon put it into ''Cystolepiota''. Then in 1991 Bon created the new genus ''Echinoderma'' for this and similar brownish warty species, and the new name ''Echinoderma asperum'' is almost universally accepted in more recent publications. The species name is the Latin adjective "asper" (with feminine: "aspera" an ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
