Mycetinis Olidus
''Mycetinis'' is a genus of fungus in the Omphalotaceae family, containing about eight species formerly classified in ''Marasmius''. General This group of mushrooms was long known as a section (''Alliacei'') within the more familiar genus ''Marasmius'', which means that each of the species has a synonym under ''Marasmius''. They are distinguished from other ''Marasmius'' by the hymeniform cap skin which consists of smooth cells, with hyphae which do not show a dextrinoid reaction. The species have a characteristic garlic smell. DNA studies showed that the group is phylogenetically allied more to genus ''Gymnopus'' than to ''Marasmius'', but the distinct structure of the cap skin is thought to justify a separation at the genus level. Franklin Sumner Earle had already defined the genus name ''Mycetinis'' for this group in 1909, though it had not caught on, and in 2005 Wilson & Desjardin proposed to resurrect this name and redefine it for the current taxonomy. The new phylogenetic c ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Franklin Sumner Earle
Franklin Sumner Earle (September 4, 1856 – January 31, 1929) was an American mycologist who specialized in the diseases and cultivation of sugar cane. He was the first mycologist to work at the New York Botanical Garden, and was the author of ''The Genera of North American Gill Fungi''. Life Frankin Sumner Earle was born in Dwight, Illinois, on September 4, 1856, to Parker Earle and Melanie Tracy. He spent much of his early youth at the Earle farm. Later he attended the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign sporadically in the 1880s, but never earned a degree. He studied with the mycologist Thomas Jonathan Burrill. Soon after college, Earle served as the superintendent of the Mississippi Agriculture Experiment Station (1892–1895). Soon after that Earle worked as a biologist and horticulturist of the Alabama Agriculture Experiment Station (1895–1900). Earle worked as an Assistant Curator in charge of mycological collections at the New York Botanical Garden in 1901. H ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
