Polyporus Melanopus
''Picipes melanopus'' is a species of mushroom in the family Polyporaceae. It can be found growing on dead wood, or from a submerged sclerotium, from spring through fall. Description ''Picipes melanopus'' has a brown velvety cap which grows up to 10 cm across. It is centrally depressed, and has tough flesh. The stipe has a soft black felt covering. The species is inedible. Species with a similar appearance include '' Picipes badius'', '' Cerioporus leptocephalus'', and '' Cerioporus varius''. All three also have a black felt on the stipe, but only on the lower half for the latter two. ''P. badius'' has no clamp connections.

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, ...

Sclerotium
A sclerotium (; (), is a compact mass of hardened fungal mycelium containing food reserves. One role of sclerotia is to survive environmental extremes. In some higher fungi such as ergot, sclerotia become detached and remain dormant until favorable growth conditions return. Sclerotia initially were mistaken for individual organisms and described as separate species until Louis René Tulasne proved in 1853 that sclerotia are only a stage in the life cycle of some fungi. Further investigation showed that this stage appears in many fungi belonging to many diverse groups. Sclerotia are important in the understanding of the life cycle and reproduction of fungi, as a food source, as medicine (for example, ergotamine), and in agricultural blight management. Examples of fungi that form sclerotia are ergot (''Claviceps purpurea''), ''Polyporus tuberaster'', ''Psilocybe mexicana'', ''Sclerotium delphinii'' and many species in Sclerotiniaceae. Although not fungal, the plasmodium of slime ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Picipes Badius
''Picipes badius'' (formerly ''Royoporus 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 ''Picipes badius'' include ''Polyporus dictyopus'', ''Polyporus melanopus'', and ''Polypor ...

Cerioporus Leptocephalus
''Cerioporus leptocephalus'', commonly known as blackfoot polypore, is an inedible species of mushroom in the genus '' Cerioporus''. It usually grows on the branches of broad leaved trees. Formerly placed in the genus ''Polyporus'', this species was moved into '' Cerioporus'' in 2016. Description The cap is convex when young, and soon flattens out into a mostly irregular shape. It is red-brown when young, yellowish grey when old and usually about 2–5 cm in diameter. the pores are white, turning slightly brown when bruised, and the spores are white. The stem is light yellowish brown often with a black base. Similar species There are two other ''polypores'' with a black stem at the base, ''Polyporus badius'' with a shiny red-brown to purple-black cap which can grow up to 20 cm across, and the dark brown, velvety ''Polyporus melanopus'', which grows up to 10 cm across and can be found on dead wood.

Cerioporus Varius
''Cerioporus'' is a genus of fungi in the family Polyporaceae. The type species is '' Cerioporus squamosus''. Many species in ''Cerioporus'' were formerly placed in the genus ''Polyporus'', however phylogenetic analysis shows that ''Cerioporus'' is a separate genus. It has been reported that mushrooms have significant antioxidant and antimicrobial activity. Structure of basidiocarp The basidiocarps are tough, especially when mature. The form is polyporoid to trametoid. The spores are fusoid. Hyphae The hyphae are dimitic, composed of binding or skeletal hyphae. The skeletal hyphae are inflated and axial.

Clamp Connection
A clamp connection is a hook-like structure formed by growing hyphal cells of certain fungi. It is a characteristic feature of Basidiomycetes fungi. It is created to ensure that each cell, or segment of hypha separated by septa (cross walls), receives a set of differing nuclei, which are obtained through mating of hyphae of differing sexual types. It is used to maintain genetic variation within the hypha much like the mechanisms found in crozier (hook) during sexual reproduction. Formation Clamp connections are formed by the terminal hypha during elongation. Before the clamp connection is formed this terminal segment contains two nuclei. Once the terminal segment is long enough it begins to form the clamp connection. At the same time, each nucleus undergoes mitotic division to produce two daughter nuclei. As the clamp continues to develop it uptakes one of the daughter (green circle) nuclei and separates it from its sister nucleus. While this is occurring the remaining nuclei ...

Jahnoporus Hirtus
''Jahnoporus'' is a genus of fungi in the family Albatrellaceae. There are two species in the genus, which have a widespread distribution in northern temperate regions. The type species, '' J. hirtus'', was transferred to this genus in 1980; it was formerly known as ''Piptoporus hirtus''. The genus name of ''Jahnoporus'' is in honour of Hermann Jahn (1911 - 1987) German teacher, Ornithologist and Botanist (Mycology). The genus was circumscribed In geometry, the circumscribed circle or circumcircle of a polygon is a circle that passes through all the vertices of the polygon. The center of this circle is called the circumcenter and its radius is called the circumradius. Not every polyg ... by Ingo Nuss in Hoppea vol.39 on page 176 in 1980.

Fungi Described In 1821
A fungus ( : fungi or funguses) is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and molds, as well as the more familiar mushrooms. These organisms are classified as a kingdom, separately from the other eukaryotic kingdoms, which by one traditional classification include Plantae, Animalia, Protozoa, and Chromista. A characteristic that places fungi in a different kingdom from plants, bacteria, and some protists is chitin in their cell walls. Fungi, like animals, are heterotrophs; they acquire their food by absorbing dissolved molecules, typically by secreting digestive enzymes into their environment. Fungi do not photosynthesize. Growth is their means of mobility, except for spores (a few of which are flagellated), which may travel through the air or water. Fungi are the principal decomposers in ecological systems. These and other differences place fungi in a single group of related organisms, named the ''Eumycota'' (''true ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
