Stropharia Aurantiaca
''Leratiomyces ceres'', commonly known as the Redlead Roundhead, is mushroom which has a bright red to orange cap and dark purple-brown spore deposit. It is usually found growing gregariously on wood chips and is one of the most common and most distinctive mushrooms found in that habitat. It is common on wood chips and lawns in North America, Europe, Australia, New Zealand and elsewhere. The name ''Stropharia aurantiaca'' has been used extensively but incorrectly for this mushroom (together with a number of similar synonyms). Description ''L. ceres'' may be described as follows. * Cap: 2 to 6 cm in diameter, with thin flesh and a bright red to orange top which is convex to plane in age. Has white partial veil remnants when young. The cap surface is usually dry, but can be slightly viscid when moist. * Gills: White to pale grey at first, later darker purple/brown or purplish grey with whitish edges. Attached (adnexed to adnate) and often notched. * Stipe: Whitish, o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Fungus
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 f ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mordecai Cubitt Cooke
Mordecai Cubitt Cooke (12 July 1825, in Horning, Norfolk – 12 November 1914, in Southsea, Hampshire) was an English botanist and mycologist who was, at various points, a London schoolteacher, a Kew mycologist, curator at the India Museum, journalist and author, .Mary P. English (1987), ''Mordecai Cubitt Cooke: Victorian naturalist, mycologist, teacher & eccentric''. Biopress, Bristol, ] Cooke was the elder brother of the art-education reformer Ebenezer Cooke (art education reformer), Ebenezer Cooke (1837–1913) and father of the book illustrator and watercolour painter William Cubitt Cooke (1866–1951). Life Cooke, from a mercantile family in Horning, Norfolk, was apprenticed to a fabric merchant before becoming a clerk in a law firm, but his chief interest was botany.

Tubaria Furfuracea
''Tubaria furfuracea'', commonly known as the scurfy twiglet, is a common species of agaric fungus in the family Tubariaceae. It was first described by Christiaan Hendrik Persoon in 1801 as a species of ''Agaricus''. French mycologist Claude-Casimir Gillet transferred it to the genus ''Tubaria'' in 1876. Description The mushroom cap is 1–4 cm wide, orange-brown, convex to flat and depressed, with small marginal patches of veil which disappear with age or rain; its odor is mild. The gills are brown and adnate to slightly decurrent. The stalk is 1–5 cm tall and 2–4 mm wide. The spores are pale reddish-brown, elliptical, and smooth. The species is considered inedible. Similar species Similar species include ''T. confragosa'','''' ''Galerina marginata'', and ''Psilocybe cyanescens ''Psilocybe cyanescens'' (sometimes referred to as wavy caps or as the potent Psilocybe) is a species of potent psychedelic mushroom.

Psathyrella Gracilis
''Psathyrella corrugis'', is the type species of the basidiomycete fungus genus ''Psathyrella'' and family Psathyrellaceae. Originally described from Europe as ''Agaricus corrugis'', the species is considered non-toxic but lacking in flesh, flavor and texture. It is inedible. Nomenclature The lectotype of ''Psathyrella'' is ''Psathyrella gracilis'', however ''P. corrugis'' was published in 1794, 27 years before ''P. gracilis'' was first published, making ''P. corrugis'' the correct name. The name given here is according to Index Fungorum. Description The cap is 1–4 cm wide, bell-shaped and translucent when young; it flattens and becomes opaque with age. The gills are slightly reddish. The whitish stalk is tall and 1–3 mm wide. The spores are purple-brown, elliptical, and smooth. It can be found growing around areas of dead wood. The species sometimes fruits with ''Tubaria furfuracea''. A similar species is ''Psathyrella candolleana ''Candolleomyces candolleanus'' (forme ...

Gymnopilus Sapineus
''Gymnopilus sapineus'', commonly known as the scaly rustgill or common and boring gymnopilus, is a small and widely distributed mushroom which grows in dense clusters on dead conifer wood. It has a rusty orange spore print and a bitter taste. This species does not stain blue and lacks the hallucinogen psilocybin. Taxonomy Speciation in ''Gymnopilus'' is not clearly defined. This is further complicated by the macroscopic morphological and ecological similarities between members of the ''G. sapineus'' complex such as ''G. penetrans'' and ''G. nevadensis''. Michael Kuo explicates upon this by speaking of the arbitrary distinction made between ''G. sapineus'' and ''G. penetrans'' made by Elias Magnus Fries. He at first labeled ''G. penetrans'' to merely be a form of ''G. sapineus'' in 1815, but then recanted and labeled them separate in 1821. Description This mushroom is often mistaken for ''Gymnopilus luteocarneus, G. luteocarneus'' which grows on conifers and has a smoother a ...

Agrocybe Putaminum
''Agrocybe putaminum'', commonly known as the mulch fieldcap, is a species of agaric fungus in the family Strophariaceae in the '' Agrocybe sororia'' complex. Described as new to science in 1913, it is found in Asia, Australia, Europe, and western North America, where it grows in parks, gardens, and roadsides in woodchip mulch. Fruitbodies of the fungus have a dull brownish-orange cap with a matte texture, a grooved stipe, and a bitter, mealy taste. Taxonomy First described as ''Naucoria putaminum'' by French mycologist René Maire in 1913, from garden soil that was covered in plum stones. It was transferred to the genus ''Agrocybe'' by Rolf Singer in 1936. It is commonly known as the mulch fieldcap. Description Fruitbodies have a convex cap that later flattens out in maturity, sometimes developing a shallow umbo; the cap attains a diameter of . Its color is initially dark brown, but fades to pale yellowish tan in age. The cap surface is smooth, matte, and is finely ...

George Edward Massee
George Edward Massee (20 December 1845 – 16 February 1917) was an English mycologist, plant pathologist, and botanist. Background and education George Massee was born in Scampston, East Riding of Yorkshire, the son of a farmer. He was educated at York School of Art and claimed to have attended Downing College, Cambridge, though no record exists of him in the University or College Records. South America and the Foreign Legion Massee had an early interest in natural history, publishing an article on British woodpeckers at the age of 16 and compiling a portfolio of botanical paintings. Through the influence of Richard Spruce, a family relative, he was able to travel on a botanical expedition to Panama and Ecuador, where, despite considerable hardships, he collected orchids and other plants. On his return, Massee joined the French Foreign Legion, hoping to see combat in the Franco-Prussian War, but, the war being almost over, he was prevailed upon to return home to the farm. ...

Basidiomycota
Basidiomycota () is one of two large divisions that, together with the Ascomycota, constitute the subkingdom Dikarya (often referred to as the "higher fungi") within the kingdom Fungi. Members are known as basidiomycetes. More specifically, Basidiomycota includes these groups: mushrooms, puffballs, stinkhorns, bracket fungi, other polypores, jelly fungi, boletes, chanterelles, earth stars, smuts, bunts, rusts, mirror yeasts, and ''Cryptococcus'', the human pathogenic yeast. Basidiomycota are filamentous fungi composed of hyphae (except for basidiomycota-yeast) and reproduce sexually via the formation of specialized club-shaped end cells called basidia that normally bear external meiospores (usually four). These specialized spores are called basidiospores. However, some Basidiomycota are obligate asexual reproducers. Basidiomycota that reproduce asexually (discussed below) can typically be recognized as members of this division by gross similarity to others, by the form ...
