Suillus Weaverae
''Suillus weaverae'' (sometimes incorrectly referred to as ''Suillus granulatus'' in North America) is a bolete mushroom in the genus ''Suillus'' found in the United States and Canada. Previously thought to only exist in small numbers in Minnesota, ''Suillus weaverae'' has been rediscovered as a species wherever ''Suillus granulatus ''Suillus granulatus'' is a pored mushroom of the genus ''Suillus'' in the family Suillaceae.

Suillus Granulatus
''Suillus granulatus'' is a pored mushroom of the genus ''Suillus'' in the family Suillaceae. It is similar to the related '' S. luteus'', but can be distinguished by its ringless stalk. Like ''S. luteus'', it is an edible mushroom that often grows in a symbiosis ( mycorrhiza) with pine. It has been commonly known as the weeping bolete, or the granulated bolete. Previously thought to exist in North America, that species has now been confirmed to be the rediscovered '' Suillus weaverae''. Taxonomy ''Suillus granulatus'' was first described by Carl Linnaeus in 1753 as a species of ''Boletus''. It was given its current name by French naturalist Henri François Anne de Roussel when he transferred it to ''Suillus'' in 1796. ''Suillus'' is an ancient term for fungi, and is derived from the word "swine". ''Granulatus'' means "grainy" and refers to the glandular dots on the upper part of the stem. However, in some specimens the glandular dots may be inconspicuous and not dark ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Suillus
''Suillus'' is a genus of basidiomycete fungi in the family Suillaceae and order Boletales. Species in the genus are associated with trees in the pine family (Pinaceae), and are mostly distributed in temperate locations in the Northern Hemisphere, although some species have been introduced to the Southern Hemisphere. Taxonomy The genus ''Suillus'' was first defined by Pier Antonio Micheli in his 1729 work ''Nova plantarum genera'', however it is not valid as it predates the 1753 start of Linnean taxonomy. Fries sanctioned the use by British botanist Samuel Frederick Gray in the first volume of his 1821 work ''A Natural Arrangement of British Plants''. Setting ''Suillus luteus'' as the type species, he described the genus as those mushrooms with a centrally placed stipe, a distinct ring, a circular cap, and tubes that are stuck together. They have been commonly called "slippery jacks" because the cap of the fruit body is sometimes slimy. The genus name is derived from the Lat ...

Fungi Of North America
A fungus ( : fungi or funguses) is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and molds, as well as the more familiar mushrooms. These organisms are classified as a kingdom, separately from the other eukaryotic kingdoms, which by one traditional classification include Plantae, Animalia, Protozoa, and Chromista. A characteristic that places fungi in a different kingdom from plants, bacteria, and some protists is chitin in their cell walls. Fungi, like animals, are heterotrophs; they acquire their food by absorbing dissolved molecules, typically by secreting digestive enzymes into their environment. Fungi do not photosynthesize. Growth is their means of mobility, except for spores (a few of which are flagellated), which may travel through the air or water. Fungi are the principal decomposers in ecological systems. These and other differences place fungi in a single group of related organisms, named the ''Eumycota'' (''tr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
