Abundisporus
''Abundisporus'' is a small genus of polypore, poroid fungi currently with seven recognized species. They differ from other polypores in having coloured rather than hyaline basidiospore, spores. Taxonomy The genus was Circumscription (taxonomy), circumscribed by Norwegian mycologist Leif Ryvarden in 1999, who included the morphology (biology), morphological similar fungi ''Abundisporus roseoalbus'', ''Abundisporus violaceus, A. violaceus'', and the type species, ''Abundisporus fuscopurpureus, A. fuscopurpureus''. Molecular phylogenetic analysis suggests that ''Abundisporus'' is monophyletic, and is clustered in the "core polyporoid clade", a phylogenetic grouping of fungi roughly equivalent in composition to the family Polyporaceae. Description ''Abundisporus'' has either resupinate (corticioid fungi, crust-like) or pileus (mycology), pileate (cap-like) basidiocarp, fruit bodies with internal tissue (trama (mycology), context) that ranges in colour from pale umber deep ...

Abundisporus Roseoalbus
''Abundisporus'' is a small genus of poroid fungi currently with seven recognized species. They differ from other polypores in having coloured rather than hyaline spores. Taxonomy The genus was circumscribed by Norwegian mycologist Leif Ryvarden in 1999, who included the morphological similar fungi '' Abundisporus roseoalbus'', '' A. violaceus'', and the type species, '' A. fuscopurpureus''. Molecular phylogenetic analysis suggests that ''Abundisporus'' is monophyletic, and is clustered in the "core polyporoid clade", a phylogenetic grouping of fungi roughly equivalent in composition to the family Polyporaceae. Description ''Abundisporus'' has either resupinate ( crust-like) or pileate (cap-like) fruit bodies with internal tissue (context) that ranges in colour from pale umber deep purplish brown or greyish to umber brown. ''Abundisporus'' has a dimitic hyphal structure with yellow to pale brown skeletal hyphae. Spores produced are pale yellowish, non- dextrinoid, ...

Abundisporus Mollissimus
''Abundisporus mollissimus'' is a species of bracket fungus in the family Polyporaceae. This white rot fungus was described as new to science in 2015 by mycologists Bao-Kai Cui and Chang-Lin Zhao. The type was found fruiting on a fallen angiosperm trunk in Chengmai County (Hainan Province, China); it has also been found on a dead tree of '' Xanthophyllum hainanense''. ''A. mollissimus'' is distinguished from other ''Abundisporus'' species by its effused-reflexed to pileate and soft fruit bodies, narrower skeletal hyphae, and spores that measure 4–4.5 by 3–3.5 μm The micrometre (Commonwealth English as used by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures; SI symbol: μm) or micrometer (American English), also commonly known by the non-SI term micron, is a unit of length in the International System ....

Polyporaceae
The Polyporaceae () are a family (biology), family of polypore, poroid fungi belonging to the Basidiomycota. The trama (mycology), flesh of their basidiocarp, fruit bodies varies from soft (as in the case of the dryad's saddle illustrated) to very tough. Most members of this family have their hymenium (fertile layer) in vertical pores on the underside of the caps, but some of them have gills (e.g. ''Panus'') or gill-like structures (such as ''Daedaleopsis'', whose elongated pores form a corky labyrinth). Many species are bracket fungi, brackets, but others have a definite stipe (mycology), stipe – for example, ''Polyporus badius''. Most of these fungi have white spore print, spore powder but members of the genus ''Abundisporus'' have colored spores and produce yellowish spore prints. Cystidia are absent. Taxonomy In his 1838 work ''Epicrisis Systematis Mycologici seu Synopsis Hymenomycetum'', Elias Magnus Fries introduced the "Polyporei". August Carl Joseph Corda, August Co ...

Abundisporus Sclerosetosus
''Abundisporus sclerosetosus'' is a species of bracket fungus in the family Polyporaceae that was described as new to science in 2000. It causes white rot on large decaying trunks of ''Shorea''. ''A. sclerosetosus'' is found in the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve in Singapore. Fruit bodies of the fungus have light brown to dark reddish-brown caps with a cream to yellowish margin. Its spores are usually ellipsoid, markedly thick-walled, and measure 3.0–3.7 by 2.2–2.6 μm. A distinguishing microscopic characteristic of this fungus is the finger- or bristle-like hypha A hypha (; ) is a long, branching, filamentous structure of a fungus, oomycete, or actinobacterium. In most fungi, hyphae are the main mode of vegetative growth, and are collectively called a mycelium. Structure A hypha consists of one o ...e in the trama of the tubes. The authors characterize the hyphal system as trimitic, but with reservations. References Polyporaceae Fungi described in 2 ...

Abundisporus Quercicola
''Abundisporus quercicola'' is a species of bracket fungus that grows on living oaks in temperate forests in the foothills of the Himalaya (People's Republic of China). The fruit bodies are perennial, grey to black above with concentric markings and white below. The fungus grows to 7 cm wide and 5 cm thick, projecting up to 5 cm from the substrate.

Pileus (mycology)
In mycology (the branch of biology that includes the study of mushrooms and other fungi), the pileus is the cap or cap-like part of a basidiocarp or ascocarp ( fungal fruiting body) that supports a spore-bearing surface, the hymenium.Moore-Landecker, E: "Fundamentals of the Fungi", page 560. Prentice Hall, 1972. The hymenium ( hymenophore) may consist of lamellae, tubes, or teeth, on the underside of the pileus. A pileus is characteristic of agarics, boletes, some polypores, tooth fungi, and some ascomycetes. The word ''pileus'' comes from the Latin for a type of felt cap. Classification Pilei can be formed in various shapes, and the shapes can change over the course of the developmental cycle of a fungus. The most familiar pileus shape is hemispherical or ''convex.'' Convex pilei often continue to expand as they mature until they become flat. Many well-known species have a convex pileus, including the button mushroom, various ''Amanita'' species and boletes. Some, suc ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Chemical Test In Mushroom Identification
Chemical tests in mushroom identification are methods that aid in determining the variety of some fungi. The most useful tests are Melzer's reagent and potassium hydroxide. Ammonia Household ammonia can be used. A couple of drops are placed on the flesh. For example, '' Boletus spadiceus'' gives a fleeting blue to blue-green reaction. Iron salts Iron salts are used commonly in ''Russula'' and Bolete identification. It is best to dissolve the salts in water (typically a 10% solution) and then apply to the flesh, but it is sometimes possible to apply the dry salts directly to see a color change. For example, the white flesh of '' Boletus chrysenteron'' stains lemon-yellow or olive. Three results are expected with the iron salts tests: no change indicates a negative reaction; a color change to olive, green or blackish green; or a color change to reddish-pink.
