Austroboletus Albidus
''Austroboletus'' is a genus of fungi in the family Boletaceae. The widely distributed genus contains species that form mycorrhizal relationships with plants. Taxonomy E. J. H. Corner originally defined ''Austroboletus'' as a subgenus of ''Boletus'' in his 1972 work ''Boletus in Malaysia'', before it was raised to genus level in 1979 by mycologist Carl B. Wolfe. The type species is ''Austroboletus dictyotus'', a fungus originally described by Karel Bernard Boedijn in 1960 as a member of the genus ''Porphyrellus''. The generic name ''Austroboletus'' means "southern bolete". In a 2014 molecular genetics study, Wu and colleagues defined 22 clades within the Boletaceae. They found the genus as understood to be polyphyletic – composed of two distinct lineages. One with pitted stipes, which remained as ''Austroboletus'', while those with smoother stipes were moved to '' Veloporphyrellus''. They delineated a subfamily Austroboletoideae, which contained genera with pitted spores, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Karel Bernard Boedijn
Karel Bernard Boedijn (29 June 1893 – 29 August 1964) was a Dutch botanist and mycologist who made significant contributions to the study of tropical fungi in the Dutch East Indies (present-day Indonesia). After earning his doctorate from the University of Amsterdam in 1925, he spent three decades in Southeast Asia as a professor and researcher, surviving Japanese internment during World War II when he identified medicinal plants for fellow prisoners. His prolific output of more than 80 scientific papers—covering diverse fungal groups from slime moulds to basidiomycetes and featuring his meticulous camera lucida illustrations—collectively formed what colleague Marinus Anton Donk described as "an unequalled fund of information on the mycology of Indonesia". Early life and education Boedijn spent his childhood in Amsterdam, where weekend excursions into the surrounding countryside fostered a lifelong passion for studying plants and fungi. After completing his primary and sec ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Wine (color)
The color wine, or wine red (also called bordeaux, vinous, or vinaceous), is a dark shade of red. It is a representation of the typical color of red wine. The first recorded use of ''wine'' as a color name in English was in 1705. The word ''bordeaux'' is also sometimes used to describe this color. Variations of the color term Claret The color claret is displayed adjacent. Claret is a representation of the average color of Bordeaux wine. Accordingly, another name for this color is Bordeaux. Bordeaux however is more widely used as a color name in European languages other than English, where ''claret'' has had longer history. The first recorded use of ''claret'' as a color name in English was in 1547. Burgundy Burgundy is a red color associated with the Burgundy wine of the same name, which in turn is named after the Burgundy region of France. The first recorded use of "burgundy" as a color name in English was in 1881. Wine dregs Wine dregs, or dregs of wine, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Index Fungorum
''Index Fungorum'' is an international project to index all formal names (scientific names) in the fungus kingdom. As of 2015, the project is based at the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, one of three partners along with Landcare Research and the Institute of Microbiology, Chinese Academy of Sciences. It is somewhat comparable to the International Plant Names Index (IPNI), in which the Royal Botanic Gardens is also involved. A difference is that where IPNI does not indicate correct names, the ''Index Fungorum'' does indicate the status of a name. In the returns from the search page, a currently correct name is indicated in green, while others are in blue (a few, aberrant usages of names are indicated in red). All names are linked to pages giving the correct name, with lists of synonyms. ''Index Fungorum'' is one of three nomenclatural repositories recognized by the Nomenclature Committee for Fungi; the others are '' MycoBank'' and '' Fungal Names''. As of 2023, over a millio ...

Austroboletus Subflavidus
''Austroboletus subflavidus'' is a species of bolete fungus in the family Boletaceae. It is found in eastern North America, where it fruits near oak and pine trees. Originally described as a species of ''Tylopilus'' by American mycologist William Murrill in 1938, it was transferred to the genus ''Austroboletus'' by Carl B. Wolfe in 1980. The fruit body has a white to yellowish convex to flattened cap measuring in diameter. The pores on the cap underside, which measure about 1 mm wide, are initially white to grayish before becoming pinkish. The coarsely reticulate and pitted stipe measures long by . The spore print is reddish brown; spores are spindle-shaped (fusoid) with dimensions of 15–20 by 6–9 μm.

New Caledonia
New Caledonia ( ; ) is a group of islands in the southwest Pacific Ocean, southwest of Vanuatu and east of Australia. Located from Metropolitan France, it forms a Overseas France#Sui generis collectivity, ''sui generis'' collectivity of the French Republic, a legal status unique in overseas France, and is enshrined in a dedicated chapter of the French Constitution. The archipelago, part of the Melanesia subregion, includes the main island of Grande Terre (New Caledonia), Grande Terre, the Loyalty Islands, the Chesterfield Islands, the Belep archipelago, the Isle of Pines (New Caledonia), Isle of Pines, and a few remote islets. The Chesterfield Islands are in the Coral Sea. French people, especially locals, call Grande Terre , a nickname also used more generally for the entire New Caledonia. Kanak people#Agitation for independence, Pro-independence Kanak parties use the name (''pron.'' ) to refer to New Caledonia, a term coined in the 1980s from the ethnic name of the indi ...

Cystidia
A cystidium (: cystidia) is a relatively large cell found on the sporocarp of a basidiomycete (for example, on the surface of a mushroom gill), often between clusters of basidia. Since cystidia have highly varied and distinct shapes that are often unique to a particular species or genus, they are a useful micromorphological characteristic in the identification of basidiomycetes. In general, the adaptive significance of cystidia is not well understood. Classification By position Cystidia may occur on the edge of a lamella (or analogous hymenophoral structure) (cheilocystidia), on the face of a lamella (pleurocystidia), on the surface of the cap (dermatocystidia or pileocystidia), on the margin of the cap (circumcystidia) or on the stipe (caulocystidia). Especially the pleurocystidia and cheilocystidia are important for identification within many genera. Sometimes the cheilocystidia give the gill edge a distinct colour which is visible to the naked eye or with a hand lens. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Clamp Connection
A clamp connection is a hook-like structure formed by growing hyphal cells of certain fungi. It is a characteristic feature of basidiomycete fungi. It is created to ensure that each cell, or segment of hypha separated by septa (cross walls), receives a set of differing nuclei, which are obtained through mating of hyphae of differing sexual types. It is used to maintain genetic variation within the hypha much like the mechanisms found in croziers (hooks) during the sexual reproduction of ascomycetes. Formation Clamp connections are formed by the terminal hypha during elongation. Before the clamp connection is formed this terminal segment contains two nuclei. Once the terminal segment is long enough it begins to form the clamp connection. At the same time, each nucleus undergoes mitotic division to produce two daughter nuclei. As the clamp continues to develop it uptakes one of the daughter (green circle) nuclei and separates it from its sister nucleus. While this is occurring t ...
