Rhizopogon Rubescens
''Rhizopogon'' is a genus of ectomycorrhizae, ectomycorrhizal basidiomycetes in the family Rhizopogonaceae. Species form sporocarp (fungi), hypogeous sporocarps commonly referred to as "false truffles". The general morphology (biology), morphological characters of ''Rhizopogon'' sporocarps are a wikt:simplex, simplex or wikt:duplex, duplex peridium surrounding a locule, loculate gleba that lacks a sporangium#Internal structures, columnella. Basidiospores are produced upon basidia that are borne within the fungal hymenium that coats the interior surface of gleba locules. The peridium is often adorned with thick mycelial cords, also known as rhizomorphs, that attach the sporocarp to the surrounding substrate (biology), substrate. The scientific name ''Rhizopogon'' is Greek for 'root' (Rhiz-) 'beard' (-pogon) and this name was given in reference to the rhizomorphs found on sporocarps of many species. ''Rhizopogon'' species are primarily found in ectomycorrhizal association with trees ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
