Pseudoplectania
''Pseudoplectania'' is a genus of fungi in the family Sarcosomataceae. The genus contains 12 species. '' Pseudoplectania ryvardenii'' was described in 2012, while '' Pseudoplectania carranzae'' was transferred to the genus (from ''Plectania'') in 2013. Taxonomy The genus was circumscribed by the German botanist Fuckel in 1870, who originally included the two species ''P. nigrella'' and ''P. fulgens''. The latter species was removed from the genus by Pier Andrea Saccardo in 1889, and made the type species of his newly created genus ''Otidella'' (now considered synonymous with ''Caloscypha'' as described by Boudier in 1885; ''P. fulgens'' is now ''Caloscypha fulgens''). Saccardo added the species ''P. melania'' and ''P. stygia'', the latter of which is thought to be synonymous with ''P. nigrella.'' Phylogenetic analysis based on the DNA sequences of ribosomal RNA suggests that ''Pseudoplectania'' groups in a clade together with '' Galiella'', ''Plecta ...

Pseudoplectania Nigrella
''Pseudoplectania nigrella'', commonly known as the ebony cup, the black false plectania, or the hairy black cup, is a species of fungi in the family Sarcosomataceae. The fruit bodies of this saprobic fungus are small blackish cups, typically up to broad, that grow in groups on soil, often amongst pine needles and short grass near coniferous trees. ''Pseudoplectania nigrella'' has a worldwide distribution, and has been found in North America, the Caribbean, Britain, Europe, India, Madagascar, New Zealand, and Japan. The fungus produces a unique chemical compound, plectasin, that has attracted research interest for its ability to inhibit the growth of the common human pathogenic bacterium ''Streptococcus pneumoniae''. Taxonomy and naming Christian Hendrik Persoon named the species ''Peziza nigrella'' in his ''Systema Mycologia'' in 1801, and it was sanctioned under this name in Elias Magnus Fries' ''Systema Mycologicum'' in 1821. In 1870, German mycologist Fuckel transferred it t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Caloscypha
''Caloscypha'' is a fungal genus in the family Caloscyphaceae (order Pezizales). A monotypic genus, it contains the single species ''Caloscypha fulgens'', commonly known as the spring orange peel fungus, the golden cup, or the dazzling cup. It is a cup fungus, typically up to in diameter, with a bright to pale orange interior and orange; specimens that are old or bruised often have an olive-green discoloration, especially around the edges. In North America, it is usually found on the ground in forest litter near conifers. Fruiting occurs in early spring following snow melt. The asexual (imperfect), or conidial stage of ''C. fulgens'' is the plant pathogenic species ''Geniculodendron pyriforme'', known to infect dormant seeds of the Sitka spruce. Taxonomy This species was first described by Christian Hendrik Persoon in 1822 as ''Peziza fulgens'', and has been grouped in several different genera since its original description.

Plectania in 1870.
''Plectania'' is a genus of fungi in the family Sarcosomataceae. There are 15 species in the genus, which have a widespread distribution, especially in northern temperate areas. ''Plectania'' was circumscribed by German botanist Karl Wilhelm Gottlieb Leopold Fuckel Karl Wilhelm Gottlieb Leopold Fuckel (3 February 1821 – 8 May 1876) was a German botanist who worked largely on fungi. He worked as an apothecary from 1836 to 1852, afterwards deriving income from a vineyard he owned in Oestrich im Rheingau.< ...

Ascocarp
An ascocarp, or ascoma (), is the fruiting body ( sporocarp) of an ascomycete phylum fungus. It consists of very tightly interwoven hyphae and millions of embedded asci, each of which typically contains four to eight ascospores. Ascocarps are most commonly bowl-shaped (apothecia) but may take on a spherical or flask-like form that has a pore opening to release spores (perithecia) or no opening (cleistothecia). Classification The ascocarp is classified according to its placement (in ways not fundamental to the basic taxonomy). It is called ''epigeous'' if it grows above ground, as with the morels, while underground ascocarps, such as truffles, are termed ''hypogeous''. The structure enclosing the hymenium is divided into the types described below (apothecium, cleistothecium, etc.) and this character ''is'' important for the taxonomic classification of the fungus. Apothecia can be relatively large and fleshy, whereas the others are microscopic—about the size of flecks ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Urnula
''Urnula'' is a genus of cup fungi in the family Sarcosomataceae, circumscribed by Elias Magnus Fries in 1849. The genus contains several species found in Asia, Europe, Greenland, and North America. Sarcosomataceae fungi produce dark-colored (brown to black), shallow to deep funnel-shaped fruitbodies with or without a stipe, growing in spring. The type species of the genus is ''Urnula craterium'', commonly known as the devil's urn or the gray urn. ''Urnula'' species can grow as saprobes or parasites having an anamorphic state. The anamorphic form of ''U. craterium'' causes Strumella canker, on oak trees. Taxonomy Elias Magnus Fries circumscribed the new genus ''Urnula'' in 1849, and set what was then known as ''Peziza craterium'' as the type species. The genus name means "little urn"; the specific epithet is derived from the Latin '' cratera'', referring to a type of bowl used in antiquity. Description Imperfect states The life cycle of ''Urnula craterium'' allows for bo ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Galiella
''Galiella'' is a genus of fungi in the family Sarcosomataceae. The genus is widely distributed in northern temperate regions, and according to one estimate, contains eight species. Taxonomy ''Galiella'' was described in 1957 by Richard Korf and John Axel Nannfeldt. In the early 1950s, French mycologist Marcelle Louise Fernande Le Gal used the generic name ''Sarcosoma'' to treat several species that she did not think belonged in the same genus as ''Sarcosoma globosum'', the type species. As Korf later pointed out, this usage contravened the rules of botanical nomenclature. Korf and Nannfield proposed ''Galiella'' to accommodate these species, and set '' G. rufa'' as the type. The generic name honors French mycologist Marcelle Louise Fernande Le Gal. Description ''Galiella'' includes bulgarioid species (those with a morphology similar to those in ''Bulgaria'') with spores featuring surface warts that are made of callose-pectic substances that stain with methyl blue Met ...
