Waxcap Grassland
Waxcap grassland is short-sward, nutrient-poor grassland that supports a rich assemblage of larger fungi, particularly waxcaps (species of ''Hygrocybe'' and related genera), characteristic of such habitats. Waxcap grasslands occur principally in Europe, where they are declining as a result of agricultural practices. The fungal species are consequently of conservation concern and efforts have been made in the United Kingdom and elsewhere to protect both the grasslands and their characteristic fungi. Over 20 species of European waxcap grassland fungi are assessed as globally "vulnerable" or "endangered" on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Background The association of waxcaps with unimproved (nutrient-poor) grasslands was first noted in 1949 in the Netherlands, but current interest was stimulated by a series of papers published by Dutch mycologist Eef Arnolds in the 1980s. Arnolds not only confirmed the association of waxcaps with unimproved grasslands, but also noted the ra ...

Clavaria Zollingeri
''Clavaria zollingeri'', commonly known as the violet coral or the magenta coral, is a widely distributed species of fungus. It produces striking tubular, purple to pinkish-violet fruit bodies that grow up to tall and wide. The extreme tips of the fragile, slender branches are usually rounded and brownish. A typical member of the clavarioid or club fungi, ''Clavaria zollingeri'' is saprobic, and so derives nutrients by breaking down organic matter. The fruit bodies are typically found growing on the ground in woodland litter, or in grasslands. Variations in branching and color can often be used to distinguish ''C. zollingeri'' from similarly colored coral fungi such as '' Alloclavaria purpurea'' and '' Clavulina amethystina'', although microscopy is required to reliably identify the latter species. Taxonomy and phylogeny The species was first described scientifically by French mycologist Joseph-Henri Léveillé in 1846. It was named after Swiss botanist Heinrich Zollinger ...

Clavaria Zollingeri 01
''Clavaria'' is a genus of fungi in the family Clavariaceae. Species of ''Clavaria'' produce basidiocarps (fruit bodies) that are either cylindrical to club-shaped or branched and coral-like. They are often grouped with similar-looking species from other genera, when they are collectively known as the clavarioid fungi. All ''Clavaria'' species are terrestrial and most (if not all) are believed to be saprotrophic (decomposing dead plant material). In Europe, they are typical of old, mossy, unimproved grassland. In North America and elsewhere, they are more commonly found in woodlands. History ''Clavaria'' (the name is derived from the Latin "clava", a club) was first introduced as a genus name by Vaillant (1727), later accepted by Micheli (1729), and was one of the original genera used by Linnaeus in his ''Species Plantarum'' of 1753. It contained all species of fungi with erect, club-shaped or branched (coral-like) fruit bodies, including many that are now referred to the Asc ...

Trichoglossum Hirsutum
''Trichoglossum hirsutum'' is a species of fungus in the family Geoglossaceae. In the UK, it has been given the recommended English name of hairy earthtongue. In North America it is known variously as velvety earth tongue, shaggy earth tongue, or black earth tongue. DNA evidence suggests the hairy earthtongue may be a species complex. Taxonomy The species was first described by mycologist Christian Hendrik Persoon in 1794 as ''Geoglossum hirsutum''. In 1907 Jean Louis Émile Boudier transferred the species to his new genus ''Trichoglossum'', of which it is the type. Initial molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences, indicates that ''Trichoglossum hirsutum'' sensu lato comprises at least three separate taxa in Europe and North America, though these may not be morphologically distinguishable. At least one of these cryptic species occurs in both continents. Description Ascocarps are club-shaped, up to 90 mm (3.5 in) tall, black to dark brown, with ...

Clavaria Rosea
''Clavaria rosea'' is a species of coral fungus in the family Clavariaceae. It has coral-like fruit bodies with "arms" up to high and thick. The arms are smooth, unbranched, pink, and have rounded tips. The stem is up to long and thick, and black. The spores are smooth, hyaline (translucent), inamyloid, pip-shaped, and measure 7–10 by 2–3 μm. Described in 1811 by Swedish physician and naturalist Johan Wilhelm Dalman Johan Wilhelm Dalman (November 4, 1787 in Hinseberg, Västmanland – July 11, 1828 in Stockholm) was a Swedish physician and a naturalist.

Hygrocybe Intermedia
''Hygrocybe'' is a genus of agarics (gilled fungi) in the family Hygrophoraceae. Called waxcaps in English (sometimes waxy caps in North America), basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are often brightly coloured and have dry to waxy caps, white spores, and smooth, ringless stems. In Europe they are characteristic of old, unimproved grasslands (termed waxcap grasslands) which are a declining habitat, making many ''Hygrocybe'' species of conservation concern. Four of these waxcap-grassland species, ''Hygrocybe citrinovirens'', '' H. punicea'', '' H. spadicea'', and '' H. splendidissima'', are assessed as globally "vulnerable" on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Elsewhere waxcaps are more typically found in woodlands. Most are ground-dwelling and all are believed to be biotrophs. Around 150 species are recognized worldwide. Fruit bodies of several ''Hygrocybe'' species are considered edible and are sometimes offered for sale in local markets. Taxonomy History ''Hygrocybe'' was fir ...

Trichoglossum
''Trichoglossum'' is a genus of fungi in the family Geoglossaceae. They are commonly called hairy earth tongues. The type species is ''Trichoglossum hirsutum''. Members of the genus ''Trichoglossum'' have tiny hairs known as setae on the spore bearing surface. The related genus '' Geoglossum'' lacks hairs on the spore bearing surface. History The genus ''Trichoglossum'' was created by Émile Boudier, who constructed the new genus to include species of ''Geoglossum'' bearing prominent setae. Numerous authors have examined this genus since its creation, with many new species and varieties described. Index Fungorum ''Index Fungorum'' is an international project to index all formal names (scientific names) in the fungus kingdom. the project is based at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, one of three partners along with Landcare Research and the Institute of M ... currently lists 47 names, including forms and varieties, while Kirk et al.

Glutinoglossum
''Glutinoglossum'' is a genus of six species of earth-tongue fungi in the family Geoglossaceae. The widespread type species, '' G. glutinosum'', is commonly known as the "glutinous earth tongue". '' G. heptaseptatum'' is known only from the Czech Republic. Four additional species were described in 2015. Taxonomy The genus was circumscribed in 2013 to contain the type species '' Glutinoglossum glutinosum'' (formerly known as ''Geoglossum glutinosum''), and a new species, '' G. heptaseptatum'', found in the Czech Republic. Molecular analysis showed that the two species form one of five well-defined clades in the Geoglossaceae. '' Sabuloglossum'' was another genus newly described as a result of this analysis. Although the ''Glutinoglossum'' species are not distinguishable by gross morphological features alone, they can be distinguished by their microscopic characteristics, and have an 8–10% DNA sequence dissimilarity in their internal transcribed spacer region ...
