Boletus Regineus
''Boletus regineus'', commonly known as the queen bolete, is an edible and highly regarded fungus of the genus ''Boletus'' that inhabits southwestern North America. It was considered a variant of the similarly edible '' B. edulis'' for many years until declared a unique species in 2008. Phylogenetic analysis has shown ''B. regineus'' as a member of a clade, or closely related group, with '' B. subcaerulescens'', '' Gastroboletus subalpinus'', '' B. pinophilus'', '' B. fibrillosus'', and '' B. rex-veris''. The cap A cap is a flat headgear, usually with a visor. Caps have crowns that fit very close to the head. They made their first appearance as early as 3200 BC. The origin of the word "cap" comes from the Old French word "chapeau" which means "head co ... is wide, convex then flat, brown with a whitish dusting when young. The stalk is 5–15 cm long, 3–6 cm wide, clavate then equal, and whitish tan. See also * List of ''Boletus'' species ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Boletus Edulis
''Boletus edulis'' (English: cep, penny bun, porcino) is a basidiomycete fungus, and the type species of the genus ''Boletus''. It is prized as an edible mushroom. The fungus produces Basidiospore, spore-bearing basidiocarp, fruit bodies above ground in summer and autumn. The fruit body has a large brown pileus (mycology), cap which on occasion can reach , rarely in diameter and in weight. Like other boletes, it has tubes extending downward from the underside of the cap, rather than gills; spores escape at maturity through the tube openings, or pores. The pore surface of the ''B. edulis'' fruit body is whitish when young, but ages to a greenish-yellow. The stout Stipe (mycology), stipe, or stem, is white or yellowish in colour, up to , rarely tall and thick, and partially covered with a raised network pattern, or wikt:reticulate, reticulations. The fungus grows in deciduous forest, deciduous and coniferous forests and tree plantations, forming symbiotic Mycorrhiza ...

Boletus Fibrillosus
''Boletus fibrillosus'', commonly known as the fib king, is a basidiomycete fungus of the genus ''Boletus''. The holotype was collected in Mendocino County, California. Phylogenetic analysis has shown it to be a member of a clade (closely related group) with '' B. pinophilus'', '' B. regineus'', '' B. rex-veris'', '' B. subcaerulescens'', and '' Gastroboletus subalpinus''. The cap is up to wide and buff to brown to dark brown, with a wrinkled to finely fibrous texture. The tubes are yellow, while the flesh is white to buff and does not stain when cut. The stem is up to 16 cm long, yellowish at the top, brown otherwise, with a reticulate texture, and mycelium enshrouding the bottom. The species has only been found in western North America. The fruiting bodies are found in mixed coastal forests in the fall, usually singly or in small groups.

Fungi Described In 2008
A fungus (: fungi , , , or ; or funguses) is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and molds, as well as the more familiar mushrooms. These organisms are classified as one of the traditional eukaryotic kingdoms, along with Animalia, Plantae, and either Protista or Protozoa and Chromista. A characteristic that places fungi in a different kingdom from plants, bacteria, and some protists is chitin in their cell walls. Fungi, like animals, are heterotrophs; they acquire their food by absorbing dissolved molecules, typically by secreting digestive enzymes into their environment. Fungi do not photosynthesize. Growth is their means of mobility, except for spores (a few of which are flagellated), which may travel through the air or water. Fungi are the principal decomposers in ecological systems. These and other differences place fungi in a single group of related organisms, named the ''Eumycota'' (''true fungi'' or ''Eumycete ...

Edible Fungi
Edible mushrooms are the fleshy fruit bodies of numerous species of macrofungi (fungi that bear fruiting structures large enough to be seen with the naked eye). Edibility may be defined by criteria including the absence of poisonous effects on humans and desirable taste and aroma. Mushrooms that have a particularly desirable taste are described as "''choice''". Edible mushrooms are consumed for their nutritional and culinary value. Mushrooms, especially dried shiitake, are sources of umami flavor. To ensure safety, wild mushrooms must be correctly identified before their edibility can be assumed. Deadly poisonous mushrooms that are frequently confused with edible mushrooms include several species of the genus ''Amanita'', particularly '' A. phalloides'', the death cap. Some mushrooms that are edible for most people can cause allergic reactions in others; old or improperly stored specimens can go rancid and cause food poisoning. Additionally, mushrooms can absorb chemica ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

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] |
Boletus Rex-veris
''Boletus rex-veris'', commonly known as the spring king bolete, is a basidiomycete fungus of the genus ''Boletus'' found in western North America. The large, edible fruiting bodies known as mushrooms appear under pine trees, generally in May to June. It has a pinkish to brownish cap and its stem is often large and swollen, and the overall colour may have an orange-red tinge. As with other boletes, the size of the fruiting body is variable. ''Boletus rex-veris'' is edible, and may be preserved and cooked. For many years, ''Boletus rex-veris'' was considered a subspecies or form of the porcini mushroom '' B. edulis''. In 2008, a taxonomic revision of western North American populations of this species was published, formally establishing it as a distinct species, ''Boletus rex-veris''. Phylogenetic analysis has shown ''B. rex-veris'' as a member of a clade, or closely related group, with '' B. fibrillosus'', '' B. pinophilus'', '' B. subcaerulescens'', '' B. subalpinus'', and '' ...

Gastroboletus Subalpinus
''Boletus subalpinus'', commonly known as the gasteroid king bolete, is a species of fungus in the family Boletaceae. The species was first described scientifically in 1969 by American mycologists Harry Delbert Thiers and James M. Trappe. It was originally named as a species of ''Gastroboletus'' but was found to be in ''Boletus sensu stricto'' in a 2013 molecular phylogenetics study. The cap is wide, buff, convex and then flattening. The flesh is whitish, staining bluish or sometimes pink. The pores are pale then darken and produce no spore print. The stalk is up to 6 cm long and 5 cm thick, pale and darkening with age, sometimes darker at the base. The species is found in California and Oregon.

Boletus Pinophilus
''Boletus pinophilus'', commonly known as the pine bolete or pinewood king bolete, is a basidiomycete fungus of the genus ''Boletus'' found throughout Europe and western Asia. Described by Italian naturalist Carlo Vittadini in 1835, ''B. pinophilus'' was for many years considered a subspecies or form of the porcini mushroom '' B. edulis'' before genetic studies confirmed its distinct status. In 2008, ''B. pinophilus'' in western North America were reclassified as a new species, '' B. rex-veris''. ''B. pinophilus'' is edible, and may be preserved and cooked. The fungus grows predominantly in coniferous forests on sandy soil, forming ectomycorrhizal associations in symbiosis with living trees by enveloping the tree's underground roots with sheaths of fungal tissue. Host trees include various species of pine, the European silver fir and European spruce, as well as deciduous trees such as chestnut trees, oak and beech. The fungus produces spore-bearing frui ...
