Boletus Russelli
''Aureoboletus russellii'', commonly known as the jagged-stemmed bolete or Russell's bolete, is a species of bolete fungus in the family Boletaceae. The Basidiocarp, fruit bodies are characterized by their coarsely shaggy stipe (mycology), stem. The yellow-brown to reddish-brown pileus (mycology), caps are initially velvety, but become cracked into patches with age. An edible mushroom, edible species, it is found in Asia and eastern North America, where it grows in a mycorrhizal association with oak, Tsuga, hemlock, and pine trees. Taxonomy Originally named ''Boletus russellii'' by Charles Christopher Frost in 1878 from collections made in New England, the species was transferred to ''Boletellus'' by Edouard-Jean Gilbert in 1931. It was then transferred to ''Aureoboletus'' by Gang Wu and Zhu L. Yang in 2016. The botanical name, specific epithet ''russellii'' honors American botanist and General Assembly of Unitarian and Free Christian Churches, Unitarian minister John Lewis Russ ...

Charles Christopher Frost
Charles Christopher Frost (November 11, 1805 – March 16, 1880) was an American mycologist. He described several species of fungi from the New England area of the United States. In one paper, Frost described 22 new species of boletes, and he was later credited with the discovery of three additional species. His personal herbarium of specimens were given to the University of Vermont in 1902. Portions of his collection today are distributed between the Farlow Herbarium at Harvard University, the New York State Museum, the Bell Museum of Natural History, and the Buffalo Museum of Science. Early life Frost was born in Brattleboro, Vermont, on November 11, 1805. His parents were shoemaker James Frost and Elizabeth Stewart, daughter of an officer in the American Revolution. When he was fifteen, Frost left school after being hit with a ruler by a teacher, and assisted his father with his business. Although Frost had developed a prior interest in the natural sciences, his interest in ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
General Assembly Of Unitarian And Free Christian Churches
The General Assembly of Unitarian and Free Christian Churches (GAUFCC or colloquially British Unitarians) is the umbrella organisation for Unitarian, Free Christians, and other liberal religious congregations in the United Kingdom and Ireland. It was formed in 1928, with denominational roots going back to the Great Ejection of 1662. Its headquarters is Essex Hall in central London, on the site of the first avowedly Unitarian chapel in England, set up in 1774. The GAUFCC brought together various strands and traditions besides Unitarianism, including English Presbyterianism, General Baptist, Methodism, Liberal Christianity, Christian Universalism, Religious Humanism, and Unitarian Universalism. Unitarians are now an open-faith community celebrating diverse beliefs; some of its members would describe themselves as Buddhists, Pagans, or Jewish, while many others are humanists, agnostics, or atheists.

MycoBank
MycoBank is an online database, documenting new mycological names and combinations, eventually combined with descriptions and illustrations. It is run by the Westerdijk Fungal Biodiversity Institute in Utrecht. Each novelty, after being screened by nomenclatural experts and found in accordance with the ICN (International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants), is allocated a unique MycoBank number before the new name has been validly published. This number then can be cited by the naming author in the publication where the new name is being introduced. Only then, this unique number becomes public in the database. By doing so, this system can help solve the problem of knowing which names have been validly published and in which year. MycoBank is linked to other important mycological databases such as Index Fungorum, Life Science Identifiers, Global Biodiversity Information Facility (GBIF) and other databases. MycoBank is one of three nomenclatural repositories reco ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Boletellus Ananas
''Boletellus ananas'', commonly known as the pineapple bolete, is a mushroom in the family Boletaceae, and the type species of the genus ''Boletellus''. Previously known as ''Boletus ananas'' and ''Boletus coccinea'' (among other synonym (taxonomy), synonyms), the species was given its current name by William Alphonso Murrill in 1909. The basidiocarp, fruit body is characterized by the reddish-pink (or pinkish-tan to yellowish if an older specimen) scales on the cap that are often found hanging from the edge. The pore surface on the underside of the cap is made of irregular or angular pores up to 2 mm wide that bruise a blue color. It is yellow when young but ages to a deep olive-brown color. Microscopically, ''B. ananas'' is distinguished by large spores with cross striae on the ridges and spirally encrusted hyphae in the marginal appendiculae and trama (mycology), flesh of the stem. Two variety (biology), varieties of ''B. ananas'' have been described. It is ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Aureoboletus Betula
''Aureoboletus betula'' is a species of mushroom producing fungus in the family Boletaceae. It is commonly known as the shaggy-stalked bolete. Taxonomy It was first described in 1822 by the German-American mycologist Lewis David de Schweinitz and classified as ''Boletus betula.'' It has been reclassified many times over the years. In 2004, the Austrian mycologist Egon Horak's classified it as ''Heimioporus betula''. In 2020, it was reclassified as ''Aureoboletus betula'' by the mycologists Michael Kuo and Beatriz Ortiz-Santana. Etymology The specific epithet 'betula', meaning birch, does not an imply a preference for growing under birch trees but to their shaggy bark, which the stipe of this species is reminiscent of. Description The cap is wide, convex and broadening with age. It starts golden yellow, discolouring to brownish yellow or reddish orange. The texture is sticky and the flesh is yellow. There are 1–2 pores every millimetre with tubes that are 1.5 c ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Basidiospore
A basidiospore is a reproductive spore produced by basidiomycete fungi, a grouping that includes mushrooms, shelf fungi, rusts, and smuts. Basidiospores typically each contain one haploid Ploidy () is the number of complete sets of chromosomes in a cell (biology), cell, and hence the number of possible alleles for Autosome, autosomal and Pseudoautosomal region, pseudoautosomal genes. Here ''sets of chromosomes'' refers to the num ... nucleus (biology), nucleus that is the product of meiosis, and they are produced by specialized fungal cells called basidium, basidia. Typically, four basidiospores develop on appendages from each basidium, of which two are of one Strain (biology), strain and the other two of its opposite strain. In gills under a cap of one common species, there exist millions of basidia. Some gilled mushrooms in the order Agaricales have the ability to release billions of spores.

Spore Print
300px, Making a spore print of the mushroom ''Volvariella volvacea'' shown in composite: (photo lower half) mushroom cap laid on white and dark paper; (photo upper half) cap removed after 24 hours showing warm orange ("tussock") color spore print. A 3.5-centimeter glass slide placed in middle allows for examination of spore characteristics under a microscope. The spore print is the powdery deposit obtained by allowing spores of a fungal fruit body to fall onto a surface underneath. It is an important diagnostic character in most handbooks for identifying mushrooms. It shows the colour of the mushroom spores if viewed en masse. Method A spore print is made by placing the spore-producing surface flat on a sheet of dark and white paper or on a sheet of clear, stiff plastic, which facilitates moving the spore print to a darker or lighter surface for improved contrast; for example, it is easier to determine whether the spore print is pure white or, rather, very slightly pigmented. ...

Annulus (mycology)
An annulus is the ring-like or collar-like structure sometimes found on the Stipe (mycology), stipe of some species of mushrooms. The annulus represents the remnants of the partial veil, after it has ruptured to expose the gill (mushroom), gills or other spore-producing surface. It can also be called a ring which is what the Latin word annulus directly translates as. The modern usage of the Latin word originates from the early days of botany and mycology when species Species description, descriptions were only written in Latin. Outside of the formal setting of scientific publications which still have a Latin requirement, it will often just be referred to as a ring or stem ring in field guides and on identification websites. Ring descriptions The way in which the structure and appearance of rings is described can vary with author and the description may only note the existence of a ring without providing specific information in cases where the ring lacks any notable features that ...

Partial Veil
In mycology, a partial veil (also called an inner veil, to differentiate it from the "outer", or universal veil) is a temporary structure of tissue found on the fruiting bodies of some Basidiomycota, basidiomycete fungus, fungi, typically agarics. Its role is to isolate and protect the developing Hymenium, spore-producing surface, represented by lamella (mycology), gills or tubes, found on the lower surface of the Pileus (mycology), cap. A partial veil, in contrast to a universal veil, extends from the stipe (mycology), stem surface to the pileus (mycology), cap edge. The partial veil later disintegrates, once the fruiting body has matured and the spores are ready for dispersal. It might then give rise to a annulus (mycology), stem ring, or fragments attached to the stem or cap edge. In some mushrooms, both a partial veil and a universal veil may be present. Structure In the immature basidiocarp, fruit bodies of some basidiomycete fungi, the partial veil extends from the stem surf ...
