Marasmius Asiaticus
''Marasmius asiaticus'' is a species of agaric fungus in the family Marasmiaceae. Within the large genus ''Marasmius'', it is classified in section (biology), section ''Sicci''. Known only from a single collection made in Mount Nuang Forest Reserve (Peninsular Malaysia), it was species description, described as new to science in 2009 by Tan and Dennis Desjardin under the name ''Marasmius distantifolius''. This was later discovered to be an illegitimate homonym of a species named by William Alphonso Murrill in 1915, now known as ''Marasmiellus distantifolius''. Armin Mešić and Zdenko Tkalčec proposed the new botanical name, epithet ''asiaticus'', referring to its distribution. The original epithet, which combined the Latin ''distans'' ("distant") and ''-folius'' ("leaf"), alluded to the distantly-spaced gills.

Agaric
An agaric () is a type of fungus fruiting body characterized by the presence of a pileus (cap) that is clearly differentiated from the stipe (stalk), with lamellae (gills) on the underside of the pileus. In the UK, agarics are called "mushrooms" or "toadstools". In North America they are typically called "gilled mushrooms". "Agaric" can also refer to a basidiomycete species characterized by an agaric-type fruiting body. Archaically, agaric meant 'tree-fungus' (after Latin ''agaricum''); however, that changed with the Linnaean interpretation in 1753 when Linnaeus used the generic name ''Agaricus'' for gilled mushrooms. Most species of agaricus belong to the order Agaricales in the subphylum Agaricomycotina. The exceptions, where agarics have evolved independently, feature largely in the orders Russulales, Boletales, Hymenochaetales, and several other groups of basidiomycetes. Old systems of classification placed all agarics in the Agaricales and some (mostly older) sources use ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
