Sarcosomataceae
The Sarcosomataceae are a family of fungi in the order Pezizales. According to a 2008 estimate, the family contains 10 genera and 57 species. Most species are found in temperate areas, and are typically 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 (f ... on rotten or buried wood. References Pezizales Ascomycota families {{Pezizomycetes-stub ...

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] |
Sarcosoma
''Sarcosoma'' is a genus of fungi in the family Sarcosomataceae. The genus, widespread in north temperate and tropical areas, contains 16 species. The anamorph (asexual) form is the genus '' Verticicladium''. Ecology and habitat The type species for the genus, ''Sarcosoma globosum'', occurs in temperate regions and typically inhabits flooded soil and areas in connection to rivers and brooks.Ohenoja, E., Kaukonen, M. and Ruotsalainen, A.L., 2013. Sarcosoma globosum-an indicator of climate change?. Acta Mycologica, 48(1). It has most of its localities situated in Sweden (122 out of 135 known localities). ''Sarcosoma globosum'' is listed as vulnerable by the Swedish red list. Traits The type species has large round/cylindrical fruiting bodies (5–12 cm in width). The disc is blackish-brown, is filled with a gelatinous substance and has a velvety exterior.

Korfiella
''Korfiella'' is a fungal genus in the family Sarcosomataceae. A monotypic genus, it contains the single species ''Korfiella karnika'', found in India and described as new to science in 1970. Discovery The first scientifically documented collections of ''Korfiella karnika'' were made in November, 1965. Fruitbodies of the fungus were found growing on the rotting stump of a tree in Nainital, India. Specimens were sent to the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, where mycologist R.W.G. Dennis noted their similarity to '' Plectania melastoma''. After further consultation with Discomycetes authority Richard Korf, the authors Pant and Tewari erected a new genus, naming it in honour of Korf. The specific epithet ''karnika''—derived from the Sanskrit ''karna'', ("ear")—refers to the fruitbody shape. Pant and Tewari considered the fungus aligned with the tribe ''Urnuleae'' of the family Sarcoscyphaceae, according to the taxonomy of the time. ''Korfiella'' is now classified in the Sarcosomat ...

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 ...

Pezizales
The Pezizales are an order of the subphylum Pezizomycotina within the phylum Ascomycota. The order contains 16 families, 199 genera, and 1683 species. It contains a number of species of economic importance, such as morels, the black and white truffles, and the desert truffles. The Pezizales can be saprobic, mycorrhizal, or parasitic on plants. Species grow on soil, wood, leaves and dung. Soil-inhabiting species often fruit in habitats with a high pH and low content of organic matter, including disturbed ground. Most species occur in temperate regions or at high elevation. Several members of the Sarcoscyphaceae and Sarcosomataceae are common in tropical regions. Description Members of this order are characterized by asci that typically open by rupturing to form a terminal or eccentric lid or operculum. The ascomata are apothecia or are closed structures of various forms derived from apothecia. Apothecia range in size from less than a millimeter to approximately 15 cm, and ...

Sarcosoma Globosum
''Sarcosoma globosum'', or witches cauldron, is a species of fungus in the family Sarcosomataceae. It was first described in 1793 by Casimir Christoph Schmidel. Johann Xaver Robert Caspary transferred it to the genus '' Sarcosoma'' in 1891. Also known as the Charred-Pancake Cup, is a near-threatened fungus native to Northern Europe. It is rarely found in some parts of northeastern North America, particularly in the Great Lakes region. To biologists' surprise, in 2021 it was found in Northern British Columbia. The witches cauldron is an ascomycete or sac fungus, meaning that its microscopic structure utilizes the ascus, a spore-bearing cell, for sexual reproduction. It is a detritivore, and survives on decomposing matter, most commonly leaf litter. It is found in spruce forests and does not currently have any human uses. Description and range ''Sarcosoma globosum'' is most commonly studied in Northern Europe, particularly Sweden, however, its population has been in decline f ...

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 ...
