Navisporus Reflexus
''Navisporus'' is a genus of seven species of tropical polypore, poroid fungi in the family Polyporaceae. It was circumscription (taxonomy), circumscribed by Norwegian mycologist Leif Ryvarden in 1980 with ''Navisporus floccosus'' as the type species. This fungus, first species description, described as ''Trametes floccosa'' by Giacomo Bresadola in 1896, is thought to have been originally collected in Tanzania. Description ''Navisporus'' fungi have pale brown to brown flesh (mycology), context, and a dimitic hyphal system, meaning they have both generative and skeletal hyphae. Ryvarden described the genus as being close to ''Pseudopiptoporus'' (published by Ryvarden simultaneously with ''Navisporus''), but with dextrinoid skeletal hyphae, and lacking gloeopleurous hyphae. ''Navisporus'' basidiospore, spores are long, navicular (boat-shaped) and non-dextrinoid. ''N. terrestris'' is the only species in the genus that has a fruit body with a stipe (mycology), stipe, and also th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Fungi
A fungus ( : fungi or funguses) is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and molds, as well as the more familiar mushrooms. These organisms are classified as a kingdom, separately from the other eukaryotic kingdoms, which by one traditional classification include Plantae, Animalia, Protozoa, and Chromista. A characteristic that places fungi in a different kingdom from plants, bacteria, and some protists is chitin in their cell walls. Fungi, like animals, are heterotrophs; they acquire their food by absorbing dissolved molecules, typically by secreting digestive enzymes into their environment. Fungi do not photosynthesize. Growth is their means of mobility, except for spores (a few of which are flagellated), which may travel through the air or water. Fungi are the principal decomposers in ecological systems. These and other differences place fungi in a single group of related organisms, named the ''Eumycota'' (''t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
