Polyporaceae
The Polyporaceae are a family of poroid fungi belonging to the Basidiomycota. The flesh of their fruit bodies varies from soft (as in the case of the dryad's saddle illustrated) to very tough. Most members of this family have their hymenium (fertile layer) in vertical pores on the underside of the caps, but some of them have gills (e.g. ''Panus'') or gill-like structures (such as ''Daedaleopsis'', whose elongated pores form a corky labyrinth). Many species are brackets, but others have a definite stipe – for example, '' Polyporus badius''. Most of these fungi have white spore powder but members of the genus '' Abundisporus'' have colored spores and produce yellowish spore prints. Cystidia are absent. Taxonomy In his 1838 work ''Epicrisis Systematis Mycologici seu Synopsis Hymenomycetum'', Elias Magnus Fries introduced the "Polyporei". August Corda published the name validly the following year, retaining Fries's concept. American mycologist William Alphonso Murrill, ...

Daedaleopsis
''Daedaleopsis'' is a genus of fungi in the family Polyporaceae. The name ''Daedaleopsis'' is a reference to Daedalus, the labyrinth-maker of myth. Similarly, the maze-like pattern of pores is taxonomically described as being daedaloid. DNA was recovered and sequenced from fragments of a nearly 7000-year-old fruit body of '' D. tricolor'' found in an early Neolithic village in Rome. Taxonomy The genus was circumscribed by German mycologist Joseph Schröter in 1888. Description ''Daedaleopsis'' fungi have basidiocarps that are annual, with a cap or effused-reflexed (crust-like with the edges forming cap-like structures). Their colour is pale brown to deep red, zonate, with a mostly smooth cap surface, lamellate to tubular hymenophore, and a pale brown context. Microscopic features include a trimitic hyphal system with clamped generative hyphae, and the presence of dendrohyphidia. ''Daedaleopsis'' has hyaline, thin-walled, and slightly curved cylindrical spores that are ne ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Polyporus
''Polyporus'' is a genus of poroid fungi in the family Polyporaceae. Taxonomy Italian botanist Pier Antonio Micheli introduced the genus in 1729 to include 14 species featuring fruit bodies with centrally-placed stipes, and pores on the underside of the cap. The generic name combines the Ancient Greek words ("many") and ("pore"). Elias Fries divided ''Polyporus'' into three subgenera in his 1855 work ''Novae Symbol Mycologici'': ''Eupolyporus'', ''Fomes'', and ''Poria''. In a 1995 monograph, Maria Núñez and Leif Ryvarden grouped 32 ''Polyporus'' species into 6 morphologically-based infrageneric groups: ''Admirabilis'', ''Dendropolyporus'', ''Favolus'', ''Polyporellus'', ''Melanopus'', and ''Polyporus'' ''sensu stricto''. The identity of the type species of ''Polyporus'' has long been a matter of contention among mycologists. Some have preferred '' P. brumalis'', some '' P. squamosus'', while others have preferred '' P. tuberaster''. Several molecular phylo ...

Favolus Tenuiculus - Flickr - Dick Culbert
''Favolus'', or honeycomb fungus, is a genus of fungi in the family Polyporaceae. The fruit bodies of ''Favolus'' species are fleshy with radially arranged pores on the underside of the cap that are angular and deeply pitted, somewhat resembling a honeycomb. Taxonomy The naturalist Palisot de Beauvois was the first to use the name ''Favolus'' in his 1805 work ''Flore d'Oware et de Benin, en Afrique''. His type species was ''Favolus hirtus'', a fungus first collected in Africa. Elias Fries used the name as a subgenus of ''Polyporus'' in 1821. Seven years later, Fries used the name ''Favolus'' for a different genus, with the tropical species ''F. brasiliensis'' as the type. Fries's concept of the genus was later accepted as it was published in one of the sanctioning works of mycology. ''Favolus hirtus'' is now called '' Trametes hirta'', and Beauvois' concept of ''Favolus'' is placed in synonymy with ''Trametes''. The generic name ''Favolus'' is derived from the Latin ''fav ...

Polyporus Badius
''Royoporus badius'' or ''Picipes badius'', commonly known as the black-footed polypore or black-leg, is a species of fungus in the family Polyporaceae. It causes a white rot of hardwoods and conifers. The species is found in temperate areas of Asia, Australia, Europe, and North America. It has a dark brown or reddish-brown cap that reaches a diameter of , and a stipe that is often completely black or brown at the top and black at the base. Taxonomy The species was first described in the scientific literature in 1801 by Christian Hendrik Persoon, who named it ''Boletus badius''. American mycologist Lewis David de Schweinitz transferred the species to ''Polyporus'' in 1832, and it was known by this name until 1997, when De transferred the species into the genus '' Royoporus'', which he had described the year before. Polyporaceae species that are closely phylogenetically related to ''R. badius'' include '' P. dictyopus'', '' P. melanopus'', and '' P. tu ...

Hapalopilus Nidulans G7 (4)
''Hapalopilus'' is a genus of poroid fungi in the family Polyporaceae. The genus is widely distributed. The generic name combines the Ancient Greek words ("tender") and ("cap"). ''Hapalopilus'' was circumscribed by Finnish mycologist Petter Adolf Karsten in 1881. Species , Index Fungorum accepts 15 species of ''Hapalopilus'': *'' Hapalopilus africanus'' Ryvarden 1978 – Rwanda *'' Hapalopilus albocitrinus'' (Petch) Ryvarden 1980 – Uganda *'' Hapalopilus croceus'' (Pers.)

Abundisporus
''Abundisporus'' is a small genus of poroid fungi currently with seven recognized species. They differ from other polypores in having coloured rather than hyaline spores. Taxonomy The genus was circumscribed by Norwegian mycologist Leif Ryvarden in 1999, who included the morphological similar fungi '' Abundisporus roseoalbus'', '' A. violaceus'', and the type species, '' A. fuscopurpureus''. Molecular phylogenetic analysis suggests that ''Abundisporus'' is monophyletic, and is clustered in the "core polyporoid clade", a phylogenetic grouping of fungi roughly equivalent in composition to the family Polyporaceae. Description ''Abundisporus'' has either resupinate ( crust-like) or pileate (cap-like) fruit bodies with internal tissue (context) that ranges in colour from pale umber deep purplish brown or greyish to umber brown. ''Abundisporus'' has a dimitic hyphal structure with yellow to pale brown skeletal hyphae. Spores produced are pale yellowish, non-dextrinoi ...

Bracket Fungi
Polypores are a group of fungi that form large fruiting bodies with pores or tubes on the underside (see Delimitation for exceptions). They are a morphological group of basidiomycetes-like gilled mushrooms and hydnoid fungi, and not all polypores are closely related to each other. Polypores are also called bracket fungi or shelf fungi, and they characteristically produce woody, shelf- or bracket-shaped or occasionally circular fruiting bodies that are called conks. Most polypores inhabit tree trunks or branches consuming the wood, but some soil-inhabiting species form mycorrhiza with trees. Polypores and the related corticioid fungi are the most important agents of wood decay, playing a very significant role in nutrient cycling and aiding carbon dioxide absorption by forest ecosystems. Over one thousand polypore species have been described to science, but a large part of the diversity is still unknown even in relatively well-studied temperate areas. Polypores are much more div ...

William Alphonso Murrill
William Alphonso Murrill (October 13, 1869 – December 25, 1957) was an American mycologist, known for his contributions to the knowledge of the Agaricales and Polyporaceae. In 1904, he became the assistant Curator at the New York Botanical Garden (NYBG). He, along with the NYBG, founded the journal ''Mycologia'' and was its first editor for 16 years. Murrill was known to travel extensively to describe the mycota of Europe and the Americas. He traveled along the East Coast, Pacific Coast, Mexico and the Caribbean. Although Murrill was a very influential person at the NYBG, having worked his way up to become assistant director in 1908, his rather eccentric personality caused problems with his job. He went on annual collecting trips to Mexico, the Caribbean, Europe, and South America, sometimes, without informing any of his colleagues prior. These trips resulted in a cumulative total of 70,000 specimens, 1,400 of which are deposited in the NYBG.William Alphonso Murrill Records. ( ...

Curtis Gates Lloyd
Curtis Gates Lloyd (July 17, 1859 – November 11, 1926) was an American mycologist known for both his research on the gasteroid and polypore fungi, as well as his controversial views on naming conventions in taxonomy. He had a herbarium with about 60,000 fungal specimens, and described over a thousand new species of fungi. Along with his two brothers John Uri Lloyd and Nelson Ashley Lloyd, he founded the Lloyd Library and Museum in Cincinnati. Early life Born on July 17, 1859 in Florence, Kentucky, Curtis Gates Lloyd was the third son of Nelson Marvin and Sophia Webster Lloyd. He and his family moved to Crittenden, Kentucky, in 1867, where Lloyd lived until he was 18. He moved to Cincinnati and was employed as an apprentice in Johnson's pharmacy. This was where he met Dr. John King, physician and editor of the ''American Dispensatory''; the close friendship they formed helped to fuel Lloyd's interest in botany. Lloyd earned his pharmacy certificate while working at the pharmac ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gordon Heriot Cunningham
Gordon Herriot Cunningham, CBE, FRS (27 August 1892 – 18 July 1962) was the first New Zealand-based mycologist and plant pathologist. In 1936 he was appointed the first director of the DSIR Plant Diseases Division. Cunningham established the New Zealand Fungal Herbarium, and he published extensively on taxonomy of many fungal groups. He is regarded as the 'Father' of New Zealand mycology. Biography In his life, he was a boxer, motorcyclist, gold prospector, farmer, horticulturist, forestry worker, and Gallipoli veteran. Following this colourful early life, ‘G.H. Cunn.’ joined the Biological Laboratory staff at the Department of Agriculture in 1919 as a mycologist, and began a systematic survey of plant diseases in New Zealand. He also began his work classifying fungi. In 1925, he published the first New Zealand work on plant diseases, ''Fungus Diseases of Fruit Trees in New Zealand''. When the Biological Laboratory was moved from Wellington to Palmerston North in 1928 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
