Stropharia
The genus ''Stropharia'' (sometimes known by the common name roundheads) is a group of medium to large agarics with a distinct membranous ring on the stipe. Well-known members of this genus include the edible ''Stropharia rugosoannulata'' and the blue-green verdigris agarics (''Stropharia aeruginosa'' and allies). ''Stropharia'' are not generally regarded as good to eat and there are doubts over the edibility of several species. However the species ''Stropharia rugosoannulata'' is regarded as prized and delicious when young, and is now the premier mushroom for outdoor bed culture by mycophiles in temperate climates. Taxonomy The scientific name is derived from the Greek 'στροφος/strophos' meaning "belt", in reference to the annulus present on the stipe. Spore print color is generally medium to dark purple-brown with white edge at maturity, except for a few species that have rusty-brown spores. There is a great deal of variation, however, since this group as presently delim ...

Stropharia Semiglobata
''Protostropharia semiglobata'', commonly known as the dung roundhead, the halfglobe mushroom, or the hemispheric stropharia, is an agaric fungus of the family Strophariaceae. A common and widespread species with a cosmopolitan distribution, the fungus produces mushrooms on the dung of various wild and domesticated herbivores. The mushrooms have hemispherical straw yellow to buff-tan caps measuring , greyish gills that become dark brown in age, and a slender, smooth stem long with a fragile ring. Taxonomy The species was first described as ''Agaricus semiglobatus'' by August Batsch in 1786. It has had a complicated taxonomic history, having been shuffled to many different genera. In addition to ''Agaricus'' the species has been placed in ''Coprinus'', '' Geophila'', ''Psalliota'', and ''Psilocybe''. French mycologist Lucien Quélet gave it its most commonly used name in 1872 when he transferred it to '' Stropharia''. In 2013, Scott Redhead made it the type species of ''Pr ...

Stropharia Rugosoannulata
''Stropharia rugosoannulata'', commonly known as the wine cap stropharia, "garden giant", burgundy mushroom or king stropharia (Japanese: ''saketsubatake''), is an agaric of the family Strophariaceae found in Europe and North America, and introduced to Australia and New Zealand. The mushroom was reported in April 2018 in Colombia, in the city of Bogota. Unlike many other members of the genus '' Stropharia'', it is regarded as a choice edible and is commercially cultivated. The king stropharia can grow to 20 cm high with a reddish-brown convex to flattening cap up to 30 cm across, the size leading to another colloquial name godzilla mushroom. The gills are initially pale, then grey, and finally dark purple-brown in colour. The firm flesh is white, as is the tall stem which bears a wrinkled ring. This is the origin of the specific epithet which means "wrinkled-ringed". It is found on wood chips across North America in summer and autumn. Described as very tasty by some ...

Protostropharia
''Protostropharia'', is a coprophilous fungi, coprophilous agaric fungal genus that produces glutinous, mostly yellowish to yellow brown basidiocarp, fruit bodies. Characteristically most form chrysocystidia and rather large, smooth, violaceous basidiospores each with a prominent germ pore (as ''Stropharia'' subg. ''Stercophila''). It is differentiated from ''Stropharia'' by production of astrocystidia on its mycelium rather than by Acanthocyte (mycology), acanthocytes that ''Stropharia'' produces. Phylogenetically, ''Protostropharia'' is distinct from ''Stropharia'', ''Pholiota'', and ''Leratiomyces''. Two species, ''Protostropharia luteonitens, P. luteonitens'' and ''Protostropharia tuberosa, P. tuberosa'', form pseudosclerotium, pseudosclerotia in the manure, dung substrates. Etymology The name ''Protostropharia'' refers to the less anatomically complex astrocystidia (Greek language, Greek ) as compared to the acanthocytes in ''Stropharia''. References

Stropharia Aeruginosa
''Stropharia aeruginosa'', commonly known as the verdigris agaric, is a medium-sized green, slimy woodland mushroom, found on lawns, mulch and woodland from spring to autumn. The edibility of this mushroom is controversial - some sources claim that it is edible, while others claim it to be poisonous, although effects are little known and its toxic constituents undescribed. Taxonomy The French mycologist Lucien Quélet gave it its current binomial name in 1872, after it was initially described as ''Agaricus aeruginosus'' by William Curtis in 1784. The Dutch mycologist Machiel Noordeloos placed it in the genus ''Psilocybe'' in 1995. The specific epithet ''aerūgǐnōsa'' is Latin for "covered in verdigris (copper-rust)". Description The cap is convex, broadening, and becoming umbonate with age. It is from 2–8 cm in diameter. At first it is a vivid blue/green, and very glutinous (slimy), with a sprinkling of white veil remnants around the edge. The colour in the gluten f ...

Leratiomyces
''Leratiomyces'' is a genus of mushroom-forming basidiomycetes first proposed three times under invalid names, and finally validated in 2008. It includes several formerly described, variously, from the genera '' Stropharia'', '' Hypholoma'', and '' Weraroa''. It was formerly classified as ''Stropharia'' section ''Stropholoma'', though some authorities placed this section in the genus ''Hypholoma'', as these species often have features that are intermediate between the two genera. The genus name of ''Leratiomyces'' is in honour of Auguste Le Rat (1872-1910), who was a French teacher, and in 1904 was the curator of the Museums in Nouméa, New Caledonia. The genus was circumscribed by Andreas Bresinsky, Manfred Binder, Paul Dennis Bridge, Brian Martin Spooner, Ross Ewen Beever and Duck Chul Park in Mycotaxon vol.103 on page 115 in 2008. This group includes a number of mushrooms found commonly in woodchip beds and dry grasslands or sandy soils, such as '' Leratiomyces ceres'' an ...

Psilocybe Cubensis
''Psilocybe cubensis ''is a species of psychedelic mushroom whose principal active compounds are psilocybin and psilocin. Commonly called shrooms, magic mushrooms, golden halos, cubes, or gold caps, it belongs to the fungus family Hymenogastraceae and was previously known as ''Stropharia cubensis''. It is the best-known psilocybin mushroom due to its wide distribution and ease of cultivation. Taxonomy and naming The species was first described in 1906 as ''Stropharia cubensis'' by American mycologist Franklin Sumner Earle in Cuba. In 1907, it was identified as ''Naematoloma caerulescens'' in Tonkin (now northern Vietnam) by French pharmacist and mycologist Narcisse Théophile Patouillard, while in 1941, it was called ''Stropharia cyanescens'' by William Alphonso Murrill near Gainesville in Florida. German-born mycologist Rolf Singer moved the species into the genus ''Psilocybe'' in 1949, giving it the binomial name ''Psilocybe cubensis''. The synonyms were later also as ...

Acanthocyte (mycology)
In mycology, acanthocyte refers to stellate cells found on the hyphae of fungi of the genus '' Stropharia''. Recent work, published in 2006, on those of '' Stropharia rugosoannulata'' has shown them to have nematode The nematodes ( or grc-gre, Νηματώδη; la, Nematoda) or roundworms constitute the phylum Nematoda (also called Nemathelminthes), with plant- parasitic nematodes also known as eelworms. They are a diverse animal phylum inhabiting a bro ...-killing properties. References Mycology {{Agaricales-stub ...

Pholiota
''Pholiota'' is a genus of small to medium-sized, fleshy mushrooms in the family Strophariaceae. They are saprobes that typically live on wood. The genus has a widespread distribution, especially in temperate regions, and contains about 150 species. ''Pholiota'' is derived from the Greek word ''pholis'', meaning "scale". Taxonomic details The genus ''Pholiota'' includes mushrooms, with scaly, glutinous to dry cap surfaces, and that frequently grow on wood or at the bases of trees or on decaying tree roots, and spores that are brown, light brown, or yellowish brown in deposit. These spores are smooth with a germ pore, although the germ pore can be quite narrow in species. Usually the species have pleurocystidia that include a type called chrysocystidia. There have been several varying concepts of the genus, ranging from a pre- molecular era very broad concept that nowadays would include the genera '' Phaeolepiota'', ''Phaeonematoloma'', ''Flammula'', ''Meottomyces'', some ...
