Peniophoraceae
The Peniophoraceae are a family of fungi in the order Russulales. Species of this family have a cosmopolitan distribution and are mostly saprobic Saprotrophic nutrition or lysotrophic nutrition is a process of chemoheterotrophic extracellular digestion involved in the processing of decayed (dead or waste) organic matter. It occurs in saprotrophs, and is most often associated with fungi ( ..., causing rots of standing and fallen wood. According to a 2008 estimate, the family contains 7 genera and 88 species.

Peniophora Incarnata
''Peniophora incarnata'', the rosy crust fungus, is a species of Basidiomycotal fungus in the order Russulales and family Peniophoraceae. It is a resupinate, or crust-like species, that grows on the surface of bark. In Scandinavia it grows on a range of deciduous hosts and less often on coniferous trees. Description The fruit bodies of ''P. incarnata'' are resupinate, adnate and membranous, up to 200 μm thick. They start as small colonies but these may later coalesce. The hymenial surface is orange or red to reddish-brown, smooth, continuous and uncracked; the margin is thinner, curled and white or pale orange or red. The base of the fruit body is composed of brown hyphae, with clamp connections, and moderately thick cell walls, measuring 3.2 to 4.5 μm in width. The basidiospores are cylindrical. Ecology ''Peniophora incarnata'' is sometimes parasitised by the yellow brain fungus (''Tremella mesenterica ''Tremella mesenterica'' (common names include yellow brain, golde ...

Russulales
The Russulales are an order of the Agaricomycetes, (which include the agaric genera ''Russula'' and '' Lactarius'' and their polyporoid and corticioid relatives). According to the ''Dictionary of the Fungi'' (10th edition, 2008), the order consists of 12 families, 80 genera, and 1767 species. According to ''Species Fungorum'' (January 2016), the order contains 13 families, 117 genera (16 not assigned to a family), and 3,060 species. Russuloid agarics represent an independent evolutionary line of agarics, not directly related to the Agaricales. This group also includes a number of russuloid hypogeous fungi, polypores such as ''Bondarzewia'', some tooth fungi (e.g. '' Auriscalpium vulgare''), and club fungi e.g. '' Artomyces''. Basidiospores in this group are typically ornamented with amyloid warts or reticulation but a few exceptions are known, e.g. '' Heterobasidion annosum''. The genus ''Clavicorona'' was often treated in the Russulales, but its type species, '' C. taxop ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Peniophora
''Peniophora'' is a genus of fungus, fungi which are plant pathogens. Members of the genus belong to the class Agaricomycetes, order Russulales, and family Peniophoraceae. The genus is widespread, and contains 62 species. The species of ''Peniophora'' are resupination, resupinate, or crust-like, and are described as corticioid. A number of its members are parasite, parasitised by other fungi. For example, ''Tremella mesenterica'' is a parasite to several species of ''Peniophora''. Taxonomy and classification The genus was first described by Mordecai Cubitt Cooke in 1879. The type species is ''Peniophora quercina'', initially named ''Thelephora quercina'' by Christian Hendrik Persoon in 1801 before being transferred to ''Peniophora'' by Cooke in 1879. However, this species was also chosen as the type species for the genus ''Corticium (fungus), Corticium'' as defined by Persoon in 1794. Until 1981 the starting point for the binomial nomenclature, nomenclature of the corticioid fu ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Acer Pensylvanicum
''Acer pensylvanicum'', known as the striped maple, moosewood, moose maple or goosefoot maple, is a small North American species of maple. The striped maple is a sequential hermaphrodite, meaning that it can change its sex throughout its lifetime. Description The striped maple is a small deciduous tree growing to tall, with a trunk up to in diameter. The shape of the tree is broadly columnar, with a short, forked trunk that divides into arching branches which create an uneven, flat-topped crown. The young bark is striped with green and white, and when a little older, brown. The leaves are broad and soft, long and broad, with three shallow forward-pointing lobes. The fruit is a samara; the seeds are about long and broad, with a wing angle of 145° and a conspicuously veined pedicel. The bloom period for Acer pensylvanicum is around late spring. The spelling ''pensylvanicum'' is the one originally used by Linnaeus. Small, finger-diameter sections of branches can be used ...

Mordecai Cubitt Cooke
Mordecai Cubitt Cooke (12 July 1825, in Horning, Norfolk – 12 November 1914, in Southsea, Hampshire) was an English botanist and mycologist who was, at various points, a London schoolteacher, a Kew mycologist, curator at the India Museum, journalist and author, .Mary P. English (1987), ''Mordecai Cubitt Cooke: Victorian naturalist, mycologist, teacher & eccentric''. Biopress, Bristol, ] Cooke was the elder brother of the art-education reformer Ebenezer Cooke (art education reformer), Ebenezer Cooke (1837–1913) and father of the book illustrator and watercolour painter William Cubitt Cooke (1866–1951). Life Cooke, from a mercantile family in Horning, Norfolk, was apprenticed to a fabric merchant before becoming a clerk in a law firm, but his chief interest was botany. He founded the ''Society of Amateur Botanists'' in 1862 while teaching natural history at Holy Trinity National School, Lambeth, and working as a curator at the India Museum at India Office from 1860.

Family (biology)
Family ( la, familia, plural ') is one of the eight major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy. It is classified between order and genus. A family may be divided into subfamilies, which are intermediate ranks between the ranks of family and genus. The official family names are Latin in origin; however, popular names are often used: for example, walnut trees and hickory trees belong to the family Juglandaceae, but that family is commonly referred to as the "walnut family". What belongs to a family—or if a described family should be recognized at all—are proposed and determined by practicing taxonomists. There are no hard rules for describing or recognizing a family, but in plants, they can be characterized on the basis of both vegetative and reproductive features of plant species. Taxonomists often take different positions about descriptions, and there may be no broad consensus across the scientific community for some time. The publishing of new data and opini ...
