Calathella
''Calathella'' is a genus of fungi in the mushroom family Marasmiaceae. According to the ''Dictionary of the Fungi'' (10th edition, 2008), the genus contains nine species found in Europe and North America. The genus was circumscribed by the English mycologist Derek Reid in 1964. Description The genus contains fungi that produce small tubular or cup-shaped cyphelloid fruit bodies. The fruit bodies are characterized by encrusted surface hairs with rounded tips, uniform basidia (swollen at the base), and spore In biology, a spore is a unit of sexual or asexual reproduction that may be adapted for dispersal and for survival, often for extended periods of time, in unfavourable conditions. Spores form part of the life cycles of many plants, algae, ...s that range in shape from oblong-elliptical to cylindrical.

Marasmiaceae
The Marasmiaceae are a family of basidiomycete fungi which have white spores. They mostly have tough stems and the capability of shrivelling up during a dry period and later recovering. The widely consumed edible fungus '' Lentinula edodes'', the shiitake mushroom, is a member of this family. According to a 2008 estimate, the family contains 54 genera and 1590 species. The family Omphalotaceae, described by A. Bresinsky in 1985 as a segregate from the Tricholomataceae, has been considered synonymous with Marasmiaceae. However DNA analyses by Moncalvo et al. in 2002 and Matheny et al. in 2006 have now led to that family being accepted by Index Fungorum and most recent references. The following genera are included in that family : '' Anthracophyllum'', '' Gymnopus'', '' Lentinula'', ''Marasmiellus'', ''Mycetinis'', ''Rhodocollybia'', '' Omphalotus''.

Cyphelloid Fungi
The cyphelloid fungi are a group of fungi in the Basidiomycota that have disc-, tube-, or cup-shaped basidiocarps (fruit bodies), resembling species of discomycetes (or "cup fungi") in the Ascomycota. They were originally referred to the genus '' Cyphella'' ("cyphelloid" means ''Cyphella''-like) and subsequently to the family Cyphellaceae, but are now known to be much more diverse and are spread through several different genera and families. Since they are often studied as a group, it is convenient to call them by the informal (non-taxonomic) name of "cyphelloid fungi". Better known cyphelloid genera include ''Calyptella'', with stalked, cup- or bell-like fruit bodies; ''Lachnella'', with conspicuous, hairy-margined, disc-like fruit bodies; ''Flagelloscypha'' with smaller, but equally hairy, cup-like fruit bodies; ''Henningsomyces'' with tube-like fruit bodies; and ''Merismodes'' with clustered, hairy, cup-like fruit bodies.

Marinus Anton Donk
Marinus Anton Donk (14 August 1908 – 2 September 1972) was a Dutch mycologist. He specialized in the taxonomy and nomenclature of mushrooms. Rolf Singer wrote in his obituary that he was "one of the most outstanding figures of contemporary mycology." Early life Donk was born in Situbondo, East Java in 1908, and completed secondary school in The Hague, Netherlands. He studied biology at the University of Utrecht, starting in 1927. As a graduate student in mycology he completed the work for his 1931 "Revisie van de Nederlandse Heterobasidiomyceteae" (Revision of the Dutch Heterobasidiomycetes). He completed his studies and attained a doctorate degree in 1933 with the second part of his work, ''Revisie van de Nederlandse Heterobasidiomyceteae II''. Afterwards he returned to Java, where he worked from 1934 to 1940 as a teacher, and, starting from 1941 as a curator in the herbarium of the Buitenzorg Botanical Garden. He was interned in a Japanese prison camp from 1942 to 1945. Dur ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
