Auriculariales
The Auriculariales are an order of fungi in the class Agaricomycetes. Species within the order were formerly referred to the " heterobasidiomycetes" or "jelly fungi", since many have gelatinous basidiocarps (fruit bodies) that produce spores on septate basidia. Around 200 species are known worldwide, placed in six or more families, though the status of these families is currently uncertain. All species in the Auriculariales are believed to be saprotrophic, most growing on dead wood. Fruit bodies of several '' Auricularia'' species are cultivated for food on a commercial scale, especially in China. Taxonomy History The order was established in 1889 by German mycologist Joseph Schröter to accommodate species of fungi having "auricularioid" basidia (more or less cylindrical basidia with lateral septa), including many of the rusts and smuts. In 1922, British mycologist Carleton Rea recognized the order as containing the families Auriculariaceae and Ecchynaceae, as well a ...

Auriculariaceae
The Auriculariaceae are a family (biology), family of fungi in the order (biology), order Auriculariales. Species within the family were formerly referred to the "heterobasidiomycetes" or "jelly fungi", since many have gelatinous basidiocarps (fruit bodies) that produce spores on septate basidia. Around 100 species are known worldwide. All are believed to be saprotrophic, most growing on dead wood. Fruit bodies of several ''Auricularia'' species are cultivated for food on a commercial scale, especially in China. Taxonomy History The family was established in 1897 by German mycologist Gustav Lindau to accommodate species of fungi having "gymnocarpous" basidiocarps (with the hymenium exposed) and "auricularioid" basidia (more or less cylindrical basidia with lateral septa). It included not only the genus ''Auricularia'', but also ''Platygloea'', ''Jola (fungi), Jola'', ''Saccoblastia'', and ''Stypinella'' (= ''Helicobasidium''). In 1922, British mycologist Carleton Rea recognized t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hyaloriaceae
The Hyaloriaceae are a family of fungi in the order Auriculariales. Species within the family have gelatinous basidiocarps (fruit bodies) that produce spores on septate basidia and, as such, were formerly referred to the "heterobasidiomycetes" or "jelly fungi". All appear to be saprotrophic, growing on dead wood or plant remains. Less than 30 species are currently included within the Hyaloriaceae, but the family has not been extensively researched. Taxonomy History The family was established in 1900 by German mycologist Gustav Lindau to accommodate a single, neotropical species, '' Hyaloria pilacre''. Lindau considered his new family to be close to the Tremellaceae, but distinguished by the "angiocarpous" or gasteroid development of its fruit bodies (meaning that the spore-bearing hymenia were covered until maturity, rather than exposed). The Hyaloriaceae were placed within the order Tremellales by most subsequent authors, until 1984, when American mycologist Robert Joseph Bando ...

Auricularia Auricula-judae
''Auricularia auricula-judae'', commonly known as wood ear, jelly ear or, more historically, Jew's ear, is a species of fungus in the order Auriculariales. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are brown, gelatinous, and have a noticeably ear-like shape. They grow on wood, especially elder. The specific epithet is derived from the belief that Judas Iscariot hanged himself from an elder tree. The fungus can be found throughout the year in Europe, where it normally grows on wood of broadleaf trees and shrubs. ''Auricularia auricula-judae'' was used in folk medicine as recently as the 19th century for complaints including sore throats, sore eyes and jaundice, and as an astringent. It is edible but not widely consumed. Taxonomy The species was first described as ''Tremella auricula'' by Carl Linnaeus in his 1753 ''Species Plantarum'' and later (1789) redescribed by Jean Baptiste François Pierre Bulliard as ''Tremella auricula-judae''. In 1822, the Swedish mycologist Elias Magnus Fries ac ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mycostilla
''Mycostilla'' is a genus of fungi in the order Auriculariales. The type and only species, ''Mycostilla vermiformis'', forms effused, gelatinous, crystalline or net-like basidiocarps (fruit bodies) on fallen conifer wood in Europe. The species was formerly placed in ''Stypella'', but the latter genus is of uncertain disposition and appears unrelated to the Auriculariales.

This succession is denoted by a series of a set of five different letters that indicate the order of the ..., distinguishes ''Mycostilla'' from the morphologically similar genus '' Stypellopsis''.

Grammatus
''Heteroradulum'' is a genus of fungi in the order Auriculariales. Species produce effused, leathery basidiocarps (fruit bodies) on wood, often pinkish red and partly or wholly covered in small sterile spines. The genus was originally published in 1917 by American mycologist Curtis Gates Lloyd Curtis Gates Lloyd (July 17, 1859 – November 11, 1926) was an American mycologist known for both his research on the gasteroid and polypore fungi, as well as his controversial views on naming conventions in taxonomy. He had a herbarium with ab ... under the facetious pseudonym "McGinty", rendering the name invalid. It was validated a century later to accommodate a group of species formerly placed in the genera '' Eichleriella'' or '' Heterochaete'', but not closely related to either.

Bourdotia (fungus)
''Bourdotia'' is a genus of fungi in the order Auriculariales. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are effused, waxy, and occur on dead wood. Macroscopically they resemble waxy species of '' Exidiopsis'', but are distinguished microscopically by the presence of gloeocystidia and " myxarioid" basidia (vertically sepate with an enucleate stalk cell). Only the type species, described from France, is currently confirmed as belonging to the genus. Taxonomy History ''Bourdotia'' was originally published in 1908 by Italian mycologist Giacomo Bresadola as a subgenus of ''Sebacina'', a genus then used for any species with tremelloid (vertically septate) basidia and effused basidiocarps. It was raised to the level of genus in 1913. Many additional effused species with gloeocystidia were subsequently described in ''Bourdotia'' until 1963 when Canadian mycologist E. Robena Luck-Allen transferred the majority into the genus '' Basidiodendron'' which she considered distinct. Current status Molecular r ...

Basidiodendron
''Basidiodendron'' is a genus of fungi in the order Auriculariales. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are corticioid, thin, effused and are typically found on fallen wood. The genus is widespread in both temperate and tropical regions and contains over 30 species. Taxonomy The genus was introduced for a single species by Brazilian mycologist Johannes Rick in 1938, but its modern interpretation was established by Canadian mycologist E. Robena Luck-Allen in 1963. She placed a number of species previously referred to '' Bourdotia'' into ''Basidiodendron'' based microscopically on their septate basidia, the presence of gloeocystidia, and the production of basidia on distinctive "involucrate" stalks.

Heteroscypha
''Heteroscypha'' is a genus of fungi in the order Auriculariales. Species form cup-shaped, cyphelloid basidiocarps (fruit bodies) with basidia that are wholly or partly septate. They are presumed to be saprotrophic, growing on dead wood. Originally described in the Tremellales, the genus was placed in its own family, the Heteroscyphaceae, by Jülich and included within the Auriculariales The Auriculariales are an order of fungi in the class Agaricomycetes.
