Amanitaceae
The Amanitaceae is a family of mushroom-forming fungi. ''Amanita'' Pers. is one of the most speciose and best-known fungal genera. The family, also commonly called the amanita family, is in order Agaricales, the gilled mushrooms. The family consists primarily of the large genus ''Amanita'', but also includes the smaller genera '' Catatrama'', '' Limacella'', '' Limacellopsis'', '' Saproamanita'', and '' Zhuliangomyces''. The species are usually found in woodlands. The most characteristic emerge from an egg-like structure formed by the universal veil. This family contains several species valued for edibility and flavor, and other deadly poisonous ones. More than half the cases of mushroom poisoning stem from members of this family. The most toxic members of this group have names that warn of the poisonous nature, but others, of varying degrees of toxicity, do not.

Saproamanita
The genus ''Saproamanita'' contains about 24 species of agarics and is one of six genera in the family Amanitaceae, of which the similar ''Amanita'' is also a member. ''Saproamanita'' differs from ''Amanita'' in that its species are saprophytic, and not ectomycorrhizal. Description ''Saproamanita'' resemble ''Amanita''. They have a pileus, free lamellae, a central stipe, and an annulus. Below the annulus are scales and rings, remnants of the universal veil composed largely of cylindrical to slender, clavate, inflated hyphal cells mostly scattered in the central stipe region (rather than the base). The spores are white and amyloid. Taxonomy The name refers to the saprotrophic life style and the generic relationship to its sister genus, ''Amanita''. In earlier studies the genus was ill-defined and named ''Lepidella'' and later ''Aspidella''. Both of these names are unusable because of earlier usage by biologists for other organisms, e.g. '' Aspidella'' E. Billings. The most ...

Zhuliangomyces
''Zhuliangomyces'' is a genus of mushroom-forming fungi in the family Amanitaceae in order Agaricales. Analysis of DNA sequences was used to show that ''Zhuliangomyces'' was separate from '' Limacella'' which is similar in appearance and the genus name ''Myxoderma'' was adopted. The name ''Myxoderma'' was previously used for a genus of Cyanobacteria Cyanobacteria ( ) are a group of autotrophic gram-negative bacteria that can obtain biological energy via oxygenic photosynthesis. The name "cyanobacteria" () refers to their bluish green (cyan) color, which forms the basis of cyanobacteri ... and thus the fungal generic name was replaced by ''Zhuliangomyces''.

List Of Amanita Species
The following is a list of species of the agaric genus ''Amanita'', one that contains over 500 named species and varieties. Building on the taxonomical outline of ''Amanita'' by Corner and Bas (1962) and Bas (1969), the subgenus and section scheme of Cui et al. (2018) is followed by this list. Bolding of the species name and an asterisk (*) following indicates the species is the type species of that section, with a double asterisk (**) indicating the type species of the entire genus. The use of common names follows Tulloss (2007), Holden (2003), Arora (1986), and Lincoff (1981). The names of the remainder of the species in the genus not assigned to subgenera by those authors are sourced from Index Fungorum and have been appended to the end of the list.

Catatrama
''Catatrama'' is a fungal genus in the family Amanitaceae, order Agaricales. Originally a monotypic genus with ''Catatrama costaricensis'', found in ''Quercus pilarius'' forest in Costa Rica. In 2007, the species was reported from Brazil. Since then 2 additional species, one from Australia and one from India have been recognized.

''Limacella'' was described by mycologist Franklin Sumner Earle in 1909. In some older classification schemes, ''Limacella'' has alternatively been placed in family Pluteaceae. The species formerly classified in the genus ''Limacella'' are now placed in 4 genera; '' Catatrama'', '' Limacellopsis'', ''Limacella'', and '' Zhuliangomyces''.

Amanita Muscaria
''Amanita muscaria'', commonly known as the fly agaric or fly amanita, is a basidiomycete fungus of the genus ''Amanita''. It is a large white-lamella (mycology), gilled, white-spotted mushroom typically featuring a bright red cap covered with distinctive white warts. It is one of the most recognizable fungi in the world. ''A.muscaria'' exhibits complex genetic diversity that suggests it is a species complex rather than a single species. It is a widely distributed mushroom native to temperate and boreal forests of the Northern Hemisphere, now also naturalized in the Southern Hemisphere, forming symbiotic relationships with various trees and spreading invasively in some regions. Its name derives from its traditional use as an insecticide. It can cause poisoning, especially in children and those seeking its hallucinogenic effects, due to psychoactive compounds like muscimol and the ibotenic acid; however, fatal poisonings are extremely rare. Boiling it reduces toxicity by removi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Death Cap
''Amanita phalloides'' ( ), commonly known as the death cap, is a deadly poisonous basidiomycete fungus and mushroom, one of many in the genus ''Amanita''. Originating in Europe but later introduced to other parts of the world since the late twentieth century, ''A. phalloides'' forms ectomycorrhizas with various broadleaved trees. In some cases, the death cap has been introduced to new regions with the cultivation of non-native species of oak, chestnut, and Pinus, pine. The large fruiting bodies (mushrooms) appear in summer and autumn; the Pileus (mycology), caps are generally greenish in colour with a white stipe (mycology), stipe and Lamella (mycology), gills. The cap colour is variable, including white forms, and is thus not a reliable identifier. These toxic mushrooms resemble several edible species (most notably Amanita caesarea, Caesar's mushroom and the Volvariella volvacea, straw mushroom) commonly consumed by humans, increasing the risk of accidental Mushroom po ...

List Of Basidiomycota Families
This is a list of families in the phylum Basidiomycota of kingdom Fungi. The Basidiomycota are the second largest phyla of the fungi, containing 31515 species. The phylum is divided into three subphyla, the Pucciniomycotina (rust fungi), the Ustilaginomycotina (smut fungi), the Agaricomycotina, and two classes of uncertain taxonomic status (incertae sedis), the Wallemiomycetes and the Entorrhizomycetes. The Agaricomycotina are a diverse group that contain mushrooms, bracket fungi, puffball Puffballs are a type of fungus featuring a ball-shaped fruit body that (when mature) bursts on contact or impact, releasing a cloud of dust-like spores into the surrounding area.

List Of Agaricales Families
The Agaricales are an order (biology), order of fungus, fungi in the class Agaricomycetes (division Basidiomycota). It is the largest group of mushroom-forming fungi, and includes more than 600 genus, genera and over 25,000 species. Molecular, Molecular phylogenetics analyses of ribosomal DNA sequences have led to advances in our understanding of the Agaricales, and substantially revised earlier assessments of family (biology), families and genera. The following families are in the Agaricales, according to Kalichman, Kirk & Matheny (2020), with more recent additions and amendments, as noted. The number of genera and species in each family is taken from Catalogue of Life (2023), unless otherwise noted, and is subject to change as new research is published. Many genera are not as yet assigned to a family. Families See also *List of Agaricales genera Notes References Literature cited * * * * * {{cite book , author=Lotsy JP. , title=Vorträge über ...

Family (biology)
Family (, : ) is one of the eight major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy. It is classified between order and genus. A family may be divided into subfamilies, which are intermediate ranks between the ranks of family and genus. The official family names are Latin in origin; however, popular names are often used: for example, walnut trees and hickory trees belong to the family Juglandaceae, but that family is commonly referred to as the "walnut family". The delineation of what constitutes a family—or whether a described family should be acknowledged—is established and decided upon by active taxonomists. There are not strict regulations for outlining or acknowledging a family, yet in the realm of plants, these classifications often rely on both the vegetative and reproductive characteristics of plant species. Taxonomists frequently hold varying perspectives on these descriptions, leading to a lack of widespread consensus within the scientific community ...
