Neohygrocybe
''Neohygrocybe'' is a genus of agaric fungi in the family Hygrophoraceae. ''Neohygrocybe'' species belong to a group known as waxcaps in English, sometimes also waxy caps in North America or waxgills in New Zealand. In Europe, ''Neohygrocybe'' species are typical of waxcap grasslands, a declining habitat due to changing agricultural practices. As a result, three species, ''Neohygrocybe ingrata'', ''Neohygrocybe nitrata'', and '' Neohygrocybe ovina'', are of global conservation concern and are listed as "vulnerable" on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Taxonomy The genus was described by Czech mycologist Josef Herink in 1958. It was formerly synonymized with ''Hygrocybe'' by many authorities, but recent molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences A nucleic acid sequence is a succession of bases signified by a series of a set of five different letters that indicate the order of nucleotides forming alleles within a DNA (using GACT) or RNA (GACU) m ...

Neohygrocybe Nitrata
''Neohygrocybe nitrata'' is a species of agaric (gilled mushroom) in the family Hygrophoraceae. It has been given the recommended English name of nitrous waxcap, based on its smell. The species has a European distribution, occurring mainly in agriculturally unimproved grassland. Threats to its habitat have resulted in the species being assessed as globally " vulnerable" on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Taxonomy The species was first described in 1801 by mycologist Christiaan Hendrik Persoon as ''Agaricus nitratus''. Czech mycologist Josef Herink transferred it to the genus ''Neohygrocybe'' in 1958, but this combination was not validly published. It was later validly combined by Alexander Kovalenko in 1989. Recent molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences, has confirmed that ''Neohygrocybe nitrata'' is a distinct species but does not belong in ''Hygrocybe'' sensu stricto.

Neohygrocybe Ovina
''Neohygrocybe ovina'' is a species of agaric (gilled mushroom) in the family Hygrophoraceae. It has been given the recommended English name of blushing waxcap, since the lamellae (gills) and flesh turn pinkish red when bruised. The species has a European distribution, occurring mainly in agriculturally unimproved grassland. Threats to its habitat have resulted in the species being assessed as globally "vulnerable" on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Taxonomy The species was first described from France in 1793 by mycologist Jean Baptiste Bulliard as ''Agaricus ovinus''. French mycologist Robert Kühner transferred it to the genus ''Hygrocybe'' in 1926. Recent molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences, has confirmed that ''Hygrocybe ovina'' is a distinct species but does not belong in ''Hygrocybe'' sensu stricto. Instead, it has been moved into the related but separate genus ''Neohygrocybe'', as already proposed on morphological grounds by Czech myc ...

Waxcap Grassland
Waxcap grassland is short-sward, nutrient-poor grassland that supports a rich assemblage of larger fungi, particularly waxcaps (species of ''Hygrocybe'' and related genera), characteristic of such habitats. Waxcap grasslands occur principally in Europe, where they are declining as a result of agricultural practices. The fungal species are consequently of conservation concern and efforts have been made in the United Kingdom and elsewhere to protect both the grasslands and their characteristic fungi. Over 20 species of European waxcap grassland fungi are assessed as globally "vulnerable" or "endangered" on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Background The association of waxcaps with unimproved (nutrient-poor) grasslands was first noted in 1949 in the Netherlands, but current interest was stimulated by a series of papers published by Dutch mycologist Eef Arnolds in the 1980s. Arnolds not only confirmed the association of waxcaps with unimproved grasslands, but also noted the ra ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Neohygrocybe Ingrata
''Neohygrocybe ingrata'' is a species of agaric (gilled mushroom) in the family Hygrophoraceae. It has been given the recommended English name of dingy waxcap. The species has a European distribution, occurring mainly in agriculturally unimproved grassland. Threats to its habitat have resulted in the species being assessed as globally " vulnerable" on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Taxonomy The species was first described as ''Hygrocybe ingrata'' from the Faroe Islands in 1945. Molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences, has, however, shown that it does not belong in ''Hygrocybe'' sensu stricto. Instead, the species has been moved into the related but separate genus ''Neohygrocybe'', as already proposed on morphological grounds by Czech mycologist Josef Herink in 1958. Description Basidiocarps are agaricoid, up to 110 mm (4 in) tall, the cap convex becoming flat, up to 60 mm (2.5 in) across. The cap surface is smooth, dry, oft ...

Hygrocybe
''Hygrocybe'' is a genus of agarics (gilled fungi) in the family Hygrophoraceae. Called waxcaps in English (sometimes waxy caps in North America), basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are often brightly coloured and have dry to waxy caps, white spores, and smooth, ringless stems. In Europe they are characteristic of old, unimproved grasslands (termed waxcap grasslands) which are a declining habitat, making many ''Hygrocybe'' species of conservation concern. Four of these waxcap-grassland species, ''Hygrocybe citrinovirens'', '' H. punicea'', '' H. spadicea'', and '' H. splendidissima'', are assessed as globally "vulnerable" on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Elsewhere waxcaps are more typically found in woodlands. Most are ground-dwelling and all are believed to be biotrophs. Around 150 species are recognized worldwide. Fruit bodies of several ''Hygrocybe'' species are considered edible and are sometimes offered for sale in local markets. Taxonomy History ''Hygrocybe'' was firs ...

Hygrophoraceae
The Hygrophoraceae are a family of fungi in the order Agaricales. Originally conceived as containing white-spored, thick-gilled agarics (gilled mushrooms), including ''Hygrophorus'' and ''Hygrocybe'' species (the waxcaps or waxy caps), DNA evidence has extended the limits of the family, so it now contains not only agarics, but also basidiolichens and corticioid fungi. Species are thus diverse and are variously ectomycorrhizal, lichenized, associated with mosses, or saprotrophic. The family contains 25 genera and over 600 species. None is of any great economic importance, though fruit bodies of some ''Hygrocybe'' and ''Hygrophorus'' species are considered edible and may be collected for sale in local markets. Taxonomy History The family Hygrophoraceae was first proposed by Dutch botanist Johannes Paulus Lotsy (1907) to accommodate agarics with thick, waxy lamellae (gills) and white spores. Lotsy's concept of the family included not only the waxcap-related genera ''Hygrophorus'', ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
