Collybia Nuda
''Collybia nuda'', commonly known as the blewit or wood blewit and previously described as ''Lepista nuda'' and ''Clitocybe nuda'', is a species of fungi. Described by Pierre Bulliard in 1790, it was also known as ''Tricholoma nudum'' for many years. It was reassigned to the genus '' Collybia'' in 2023. The species is native to Europe and North America. It is found in both coniferous and deciduous woodlands. It has been cultivated in Britain, the Netherlands and France. It is a widely consumed edible mushroom. Taxonomy The French mycologist Jean Baptiste François Pierre Bulliard, Pierre Bulliard described the wood blewit in his work ''Herbier de la France'' in 1790 as ''Agaricus nudus'', reporting that it was common in the woods all year. He wrote of two varieties: one whose gills and cap are initially light violet and mature to burgundy, while the other has wine-coloured gills that intensify in colour with age. He added that the first variety was often confused with ''Cortina ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Jean Baptiste François Pierre Bulliard
Jean Baptiste François Pierre Bulliard (; 24 November 1752 in Aubepierre-sur-Aube Haute-Marne – 26 September 1793 in Paris), also known simply as Pierre Bulliard, was a French physician and botanist. Bulliard studied in Langres, where he became interested in natural history, and afterwards a position was obtained for him in the abbey in Ville-sous-la-Ferté, Clairvaux and later he moved to Paris where he study medicine. There he also practiced as a physician. He tutored the son of General :fr:Claude Dupin, Claude Dupin (1686-1769). He was an able draughtsman and also learnt to engrave. He invented a way of printing natural history plates in colour and used the method in his own publications. In 1779 he commenced a work on the poisonous plants of France. It was seized by the police on the grounds that it was a dangerous work. Bulliard's ''Dictionnaire Elémentaire de Botanique'' (1783) contributed to the spreading and consolidation of botanical terminology and the Linnaean ...

Laccaria Amethysteo-occidentalis
''Laccaria amethysteo-occidentalis'' is a mushroom found under conifers, usually pine, growing alone, scattered or gregariously in western North America.Muller, 1984. Description The mushroom is entirely purple. The cap is in width. The gills are purple. The stem is up to long, fibrous, with a whitish mycelium near the base. The spores are 7.5–10.5 x 7–16 μm, subglobose or broadly elliptical. The spore print is white. Similar species This species is similar to ''Laccaria amethystina, L. amethystina'' but differs by occurring in hardwood forest in eastern North America, rather than coniferous forest; having a smaller sporocarp; and being a lighter purple color. Laccaria bicolor, ''L. bicolor'' is smaller and less purplish; Laccaria laccata, ''L. laccata'' has whitish mycelium Mycelium (: mycelia) is a root-like structure of a fungus consisting of a mass of branching, thread-like hyphae. Its normal form is that of branched, slender, entangled, anast ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Clitocybe Tarda
''Clitocybe tarda'' is a species of mushroom. A 1896 source opined that the mushroom should be called ''Clitopilus tardus''. The species is possibly a synonym of ''Lepista sordida''. The pinkish caps are wide and brownish closer to the center. The pale gills usually become more decurrent with age. The stalks are 2–6 cm long and 3–8 mm wide, sometimes with clusters of pale tomentum. The flesh is thin and brittle, and the cap tastes bitter. The spore print is pinkish. It resembles '' Laccaria'' sp., ''Collybia nuda'' and ''C. brunneocephala''. Clusters of this species can be found in areas that are used for agriculture or filled with grass. It can be found from July to November in southeastern North America, and October to December on the West Coast. It has been claimed as edible An edible item is any item that is safe for humans to eat. "Edible" is differentiated from " eatable" because it does not indicate how an item tastes, only whether it is fit to b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Collybia Brunneocephala
''Collybia brunneocephala'', also known as the brown blewit or brownit, is a species of gilled mushroom. Previously designated ''Clitocybe brunneocephala'', the brownit and its lavender-colored cousin ''Clitocybe nuda'' (the wood blewit) were reassigned to the genus '' Collybia'' in 2023. It is found in North America and edible but resembles some poisonous species. Taxonomy William Murrill originally described this species in 1913 as a '' Melanoleuca'', based on a specimen collected by R. A. Harper in Alameda County, California. However, based on the minimal information provided, it was not included in later descriptions of ''Clitocybe'' species. The brownit was rediscovered by David Arora in Santa Cruz County, California, in the 1970s, and Howard E. Bigelow formally redescribed it in his 1982 ''Clitocybe'' monograph using Arora's specimens. There was already a '' Clitocybe harperi'', so the Bigelow gave it a new name suggestive of its brown (''brunneo''-) head (-''cep ...

Cortinarius Camphoratus
''Cortinarius camphoratus'', commonly known as the goatcheese webcap, is an agaric fungus in the family Cortinariaceae. The fungus is found in Europe and North America, where its fruit bodies (mushrooms) grow on the ground in a mycorrhizal association with spruce and firs in coniferous forests. Mushrooms are characterized by pale blue lilac colors when young, and a strong distinctive odor. Sources disagree as to the edibility of the mushroom, but they are generally not recommended for eating. Taxonomy The species was first described by Swedish mycologist Elias Fries under the name ''Agaricus camphoratus'' in his 1821 ''Systema Mycologicum''. In 1838 Fries transferred the species to ''Cortinarius''. Friedrich Otto Wünsche placed it in ''Inoloma'' in 1877. The specific epithet ''camphoratus'' refers to the odor resembling camphor. It is commonly known as the goatcheese webcap. Description The fruit bodies of ''Cortinarius camphoratus'' have a cap that is initially convex befor ...

Cortinarius
''Cortinarius'' is a globally distributed genus of fungus in the family Cortinariaceae. Its members are commonly known by the names cortinar and webcap. It is suspected to be the largest genus of agarics, containing over 2,000 widespread species. Young specimens have a cortina (veil) between the cap and the stem, hence the name. Most of the fibres of the cortina are ephemeral and leave no more than limited remnants on the stem or cap edge. All species have a rusty brown spore print. Several species (such as ''Cortinarius orellanus, C. orellanus'') are highly Mushroom poisoning, toxic and many species are difficult to distinguish, making their consumption inadvisable. Taxonomy Molecular phylogenetics, Molecular studies of members of the genus ''Rozites'', including its most famous member ''R. caperata'', have shown them nested within ''Cortinarius'' and have been sunk into this genus. This genus was erected on the basis of a double veil, yet its members do not form a di ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Lepista Nuda Paarse Schijnridderzwam
''Lepista'' is a genus of mushroom-forming fungi. According to the ''Dictionary of the Fungi'' (10th edition, 2008), the widespread genus contains approximately 50 species. In 1969, Howard Bigelow and Alex H. Smith designated the group as subgenus of ''Clitocybe''. A genetic study conducted in 2015 revealed that the genera ''Collybia'' and ''Lepista'' were closely related to the core clade of ''Clitocybe.'' However, all three genera were found to be polyphyletic, with several members located in lineages distinct from other members within the same genus. Instead, they were more closely related to members of the other two genera. Alvarado and colleagues chose not to define the genera but presented various options and emphasized the necessity for a broader analysis. Selected species * ''Lepista caespitosa'' * ''Lepista glaucocana'' * ''Lepista sordida'' Former species * ''Collybia personata'', formerly ''Lepista personata'', ''Lepista saeva'', or ''Clitocybe saeva'', field blewit ...

Spore Print
300px, Making a spore print of the mushroom ''Volvariella volvacea'' shown in composite: (photo lower half) mushroom cap laid on white and dark paper; (photo upper half) cap removed after 24 hours showing warm orange ("tussock") color spore print. A 3.5-centimeter glass slide placed in middle allows for examination of spore characteristics under a microscope. The spore print is the powdery deposit obtained by allowing spores of a fungal fruit body to fall onto a surface underneath. It is an important diagnostic character in most handbooks for identifying mushrooms. It shows the colour of the mushroom spores if viewed en masse. Method A spore print is made by placing the spore-producing surface flat on a sheet of dark and white paper or on a sheet of clear, stiff plastic, which facilitates moving the spore print to a darker or lighter surface for improved contrast; for example, it is easier to determine whether the spore print is pure white or, rather, very slightly pigmented. ...
