Volvariella
''Volvariella'' is a genus of mushrooms with deep salmon pink gills and spore prints. Description They lack a ring, and have an Amanita-like volva at the stem base. Some species of Amanita look similar, but Amanita has white spores and often have a ring. Since the gills of young ''Volvariella'' are white at first, they are more easily mistaken for ''Amanita''. The genus is estimated to contain about 50 species. Species Many sources list ''Volvariella'' as a member of the Pluteaceae family, but recent DNA studies have revealed that ''Pluteus'' and ''Volvariella'' evolved separately and have very different DNA. These studies show that ''Volvariella'' is very closely related to "schizophylloid" mushrooms like ''Schizophyllum commune''. Some species of ''Volvariella'' are popular edibles in Europe, accounting for 16% of total production of cultivated mushrooms in the world. Cultivation and edibility ''Volvariella volvacea'', well known as the "paddy straw mushroom", is cul ...

Volvariella Bombycina (34728937460)
''Volvariella bombycina'', commonly known as the silky sheath, silky rosegill, silver-silk straw mushroom, or tree mushroom, is a species of edible mushroom in the family Pluteaceae. It is an uncommon but widespread species, having been reported from Asia, Australia, the Caribbean, Europe, and North America. The fruit body (mushroom) begins developing in a thin, egg-like sac. This ruptures and the stem expands quickly, leaving the sac at the base of the stem as a volva. The cap, which can attain a diameter of up to , is white to slightly yellowish and covered with silky hairs. On the underside of the cap are closely spaced gills, free from attachment to the stem, and initially white before turning pink as the spores mature. The mushroom grows singly or in clusters, often appearing in old knotholes and wounds in elms and maples. ''V. bombycina'' contains compounds with antibacterial properties. Taxonomy The species was first described in 1774 by German naturalist Ja ...

Volvariella Gloiocephala
''Volvopluteus gloiocephalus,'' commonly known as the big sheath mushroom, rose-gilled grisette, or stubble rosegill, is a species of mushroom in the family Pluteaceae. For most of the 20th century it has been known under the names ''Volvariella gloiocephala'' or ''Volvariella speciosa'', but recent molecular studies have placed it as the type species of the genus ''Volvopluteus'', newly created in 2011. The cap of this mushroom is about in diameter, varies from white to grey or grey-brown, and is markedly sticky when fresh. The gills start out as white but they soon turn pink. The stipe is white and has a sack-like volva at the base. Microscopical features and DNA sequence data are of great importance for separating ''V. gloiocephalus'' from related species. ''V. gloiocephalus'' is a saprotrophic fungus that grows on grassy fields and accumulations of organic matter like compost or woodchips piles. It has been reported from all continents except Antarctica. ...

Pluteaceae
The Pluteaceae are a family of small to medium-sized mushrooms which have free gill attachment and pink spores. Members of Pluteaceae can be mistaken for members of Entolomataceae, but can be distinguished by the angled spores and attached gills of the Entolomataceae. The four genera in the Pluteaceae comprise the widely distributed '' Volvariella'' and '' Pluteus'', the rare ''Chamaeota'', and ''Volvopluteus'', which was newly described in 2011 as a result of molecular analysis. The ''Dictionary of the Fungi'' (10th edition, 2008) estimates there are 364 species in the family. Selected species * ''Pluteus cervinus'', synonym ''Pluteus atricapillus'', or deer mushroom * ''Pluteus concentricus'' * ''Pluteus leoninus'' * ''Pluteus murinus'' * '' Pluteus salicinus'', or the knackers crumpet (hallucinogenic) * ''Volvariella volvacea'' * ''Volvopluteus gloiocephalus'' See also *List of Agaricales families The Agaricales are an order of fungi in the class Agaricomycetes (divisi ...

Volvariella Volvacea
''Volvariella volvacea'' (also known as paddy straw mushroom or straw mushroom) is a species of edible mushroom cultivated throughout East and Southeast Asia and used extensively in Asian cuisines. They are often available fresh in regions they are cultivated, but elsewhere are more frequently found canned or dried. Worldwide, straw mushrooms are the third most consumed mushroom. Cultivation Straw mushrooms are grown on rice straw beds and are most commonly picked when immature (often labeled "unpeeled"), during their button or egg phase and before the veil ruptures. They are adaptable and take four to five days to mature, and are most successfully grown in subtropical climates with high annual rainfall. No record has been found of their cultivation before the 19th century. Nutrition One cup of straw mushrooms is nutritionally dense and provides of food energy, 27.7 µg selenium (50.36% of RDA), 699 mg sodium (46.60%), 2.6 mg iron (32.50%), 0.242 mg cop ...

Amanita Phalloides
''Amanita phalloides'' (), commonly known as the death cap, is a deadly poisonous basidiomycete fungus, one of many in the genus ''Amanita''. Widely distributed across Europe, but now sprouting in other parts of the world, ''A. phalloides'' forms ectomycorrhizas with various broadleaved trees. In some cases, the death cap has been introduced to new regions with the cultivation of non-native species of oak, chestnut, and pine. The large fruiting bodies (mushrooms) appear in summer and autumn; the caps are generally greenish in colour with a white stipe and gills. The cap colour is variable, including white forms, and is thus not a reliable identifier. These toxic mushrooms resemble several edible species (most notably Caesar's mushroom and the straw mushroom) commonly consumed by humans, increasing the risk of accidental poisoning. Amatoxins, the class of toxins found in these mushrooms, are thermostable: they resist changes due to heat, so their toxic effects are not ...
