Pleurotoid Fungi
Gilled fungi with laterally-attached fruiting bodies are said to be pleurotoid ( Gr.: ''pleurē'' + ''ōtos'' + ''-oid'', literally "side-ear form" or "having the likeness of ''Pleurotus'' ssp."). Pleurotoid fungi are typically wood-decay fungi and are found on dead and dying trees and coarse woody debris. The pleurotoid form is polyphyletic, having evolved a number of times within the Basidiomycota. Many species of pleurotoid fungi are commonly referred to as "oyster" mushrooms. Laterally-attached fungi with pores rather than gills are referred to as bracket fungi.

Pleurotus Ostreatus - Lindsey
''Pleurotus'' is a genus of gilled mushrooms which includes one of the most widely eaten mushrooms, '' P. ostreatus''. Species of ''Pleurotus'' may be called oyster, abalone, or tree mushrooms, and are some of the most commonly cultivated edible mushrooms in the world. ''Pleurotus'' fungi have also been used in mycoremediation of pollutants, such as petroleum and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Etymology The genus name ''Pleurotus'' literally means ''side ear'' in reference to the mushroom caps being laterally attached to the substrate. It is a composite of the Ancient Greek words : pleurá - ''side'', and the stem ''-oto'' referring to ears (from , ὠτός : ''ear''). Description The caps may be laterally attached (with no stipe). If there is a stipe, it is normally eccentric and the gills are decurrent along it. The term '' pleurotoid'' is used for any mushroom with this general shape. The spores are smooth and elongated (described as "cylindrical"). Where hyphae meet ...

Hohenbuehelia
''Hohenbuehelia'' is a pleurotoid genus of agaric fungi characterized by gelatinous-sheathed bowling-pin-shaped cystidia, on conidia, basidiospore germ tubes, and mycelium that adhere to and capture nematodes. The fruitbodies bear thick-walled cystidia (metuloids) in the hymenium along the gill sides and that differentiate the genus from '' Pleurotus'' in the Pleurotaceae family Family (from la, familia) is a group of people related either by consanguinity (by recognized birth) or affinity (by marriage or other relationship). The purpose of the family is to maintain the well-being of its members and of society. Idea .... The genus has a widespread distribution and contains about 50 species. Etymology Named after — Ludwig Samuel Joseph David Alexander Freiherr von Hohenbühel Heufler zu Rasen und Perdonegg (1817-1885) - an Austrian baron and cryptogamist.

Lentinellus
''Lentinellus'' is a genus of white rot, wood decay, lamellate agaric in the family Auriscalpiaceae, further characterized in part by rough-walled, amyloid spores produced on lamellae with jagged edges. Typically, thick-walled hyphae in the fruit body are in part amyloid, and frequently the taste of the mushrooms is acrid (burning, spicy). The widespread genus has been estimated to contain 15 species. Mycologists Ronald Petersen and Karen Hughes considered 24 species in their 2004 world monograph of the genus. Classification and naming The name ''Lentinellus'' is the diminutive of ''Lentinus'', which is the generic name for another group of wood-decay fungi with rough lamellar edges. The type species and the best-known is '' L. cochleatus'', which was classified under ''Lentinus'' by Persoon in 1825. Later it was realized that the species now in ''Lentinellus'' are very different in other characteristics from the other ''Lentinus'' species, and in modern taxonomy the ...

Lactifluus
''Lactifluus'' is one of three genera of mushroom-forming fungi containing species commonly named " milk-caps", the others being ''Lactarius'' and ''Multifurca''. It has been separated from ''Lactarius'' based on molecular phylogenetic evidence but is very similar to that genus. There are roughly 150 known ''Lactifluus'' species, which have a mainly tropical distribution but are also found in the north temperate zone and Australasia. Some of them are edible mushrooms. Systematics and taxonomy The genus ''Lactifluus'' was described in 1806 by French naturalist Henri François Anne de Roussel, with the type species ''Lactifluus piperatus''. Later, ''Lactifluus'' was largely considered a synonym of ''Lactarius'', until molecular phylogenetic work showed in 2008 that ''Lactarius'' was not a monophyletic group. In the following, the name ''Lactarius'' was conserved for the biggest of the subclades revealed, containing most well-known north temperate species. Thus, the name ''Lactifl ...

Panellus
''Panellus'' is a genus of more than 50 mushroom species of fungi in the family Mycenaceae as defined molecularly. Prior to molecular analyses the generic name had been used for any white-spored '' pleurotoid'' with amyloid spores. Unrelated but similar species are now classified in '' Sarcomyxa'' and '' Scytinotus''. In older guides and other literature the type species had been placed in either ''Pleurotus'' or ''Panus'' and the poroid species had been classified in the synonymous genus ''Dictyopanus'' or in broadly defined genera like ''Polyporus'' (Polyporaceae) or the more closely allied ''Favolaschia'' (Mycenaceae). The closest molecular allies are '' Resinomycena'' and '' Cruentomycena''. Description The fruit bodies of ''Panellus'' species are small- or medium-sized and in most cases '' pleurotoid'', meaning they grow on wood, have gills (some species have pores instead of gills), and usually form semicircular or kidney-shaped caps that may be either directly attached to t ...
