Tremella Roseolutescens
''Tremella roseolutescens'' is a species of fungus in the family (biology), family Tremellaceae. It produces rose-pink to salmon, pustular, gelatinous basidiocarps (fruit bodies) and is parasitism, parasitic on other fungi on dead attached branches of broad-leaved trees. It was originally described from Costa Rica. Taxonomy ''Tremella roseolutescens'' was first published in 1996 by American mycologist Robert Joseph Bandoni, Robert Bandoni and Costa Rican mycologist Julieta Carranza based on collections made in Costa Rica. The species is considered to be close to ''Tremella mesenterica'', the type species of the genus, and hence belongs in ''Tremella'' sensu stricto. Description Fruit bodies are gelatinous, rose-pink to salmon, up to 10 mm across, and pustular to cerebriform (brain-like). Microscopically, the basidia are tremelloid (globose to ellipsoid, with oblique to vertical septa), 4-celled, 20 to 27 by 18 to 27 micrometre, μm. The basidiospores are globose to subglobos ...

During his 50 years as professor at the University of British Columbia, he wrote over 80 scientific publications as well as several books. He was awarded the title of Professor Emeritus in 1989. In 1990 the Canadian Botanical Association awarded him the George Lawson Medal. Bandoni died on May 18, 2009, in Vancouver, British Columbia, after suffering a stroke. Biography Robert "Bob" Joseph Bandoni was born November 9, 1926 in Weeks, Nevada to Giuseppe and Albina Bandoni. He went to high school in Hawthorne, Nevada and received a Bachelor of Science from the University of Nevada in 1953. He then studied under George Willard Martin at the University of Iowa and received his Ph.D. in 1957. The title of his thesis was: "Taxonomic studies of the genus ''Tremella'' (Tremellaceae). That same year, he received the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
