Cantharellaceae
The Cantharellaceae are a family of fungi in the order Cantharellales. The family contains the chanterelles and related species, a group of fungi that superficially resemble agarics (gilled mushrooms) but have smooth, wrinkled, or gill-like hymenophores (spore-bearing undersurfaces). Species in the family are ectomycorrhizal, forming a mutually beneficial relationship with the roots of trees and other plants. Many of the Cantharellaceae, including the chanterelle ('' Cantharellus cibarius''), the Pacific golden chanterelle ('' Cantharellus formosus''), the horn of plenty ('' Craterellus cornucopioides''), and the trumpet chanterelle ('' Craterellus tubaeformis''), are not only edible, but are collected and marketed internationally on a commercial scale. Taxonomy History The family was originally described in 1888 by German mycologist Joseph Schröter to accommodate the chanterelles, which at that time were thought to be an evolutionary link between "primitive" '' Thelephora'' ...

Cantharellales
The Cantharellales are an order (biology), order of fungi in the class (biology), class Agaricomycetes. The order includes not only the chanterelles (Cantharellaceae), but also some of the tooth fungi (Hydnaceae), clavarioid fungi (Aphelariaceae and Clavulinaceae), and corticioid fungi (Botryobasidiaceae). Species within the order are variously ectomycorrhizal, saprotrophic, associated with orchids, or facultative plant pathology, plant pathogens. Those of economic importance include edible mushroom, edible and commercially collected ''Cantharellus'', ''Craterellus'', and ''Hydnum'' species as well as crop pathogens in the genera ''Ceratobasidium'' and ''Thanatephorus''/''Rhizoctonia''. Taxonomy The order was originally proposed in 1926 by German mycologist Ernst Albert Gäumann to accommodate species within the phylum Basidiomycota having "stichic" basidia (basidia with nuclear spindles arranged longitudinally). On this basis, he included three families within the Cantharellales ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Cantharellus
''Cantharellus'' is a genus of mushrooms, commonly known as chanterelles (), a name which can also refer to the type species, '' Cantharellus cibarius''. They are mycorrhizal fungi, meaning they form symbiotic associations with plants. Chanterelles may resemble a number of other species, some of which are poisonous. The name comes from the Greek word '' kantharos'' ('tankard, cup'). Chanterelles are one of the most recognized and harvested groups of edible mushrooms. Description Mushrooms in the genus are generally shaped like cups or trumpets. The hue is mostly yellow, with the gills sometimes pinkish. Similar species The false chanterelle ('' Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca'') has finer, more orange gills and a darker cap. It is sometimes regarded as poisonous. The very similar jack-o'-lantern mushroom ('' Omphalotus olearius'') and its sister species ('' Omphalotus olivascens'') are very poisonous, though not lethal. They have true gills (unlike chanterelles) wh ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Hydnaceae
The Hydnaceae are a family of fungi in the order Cantharellales. Originally the family encompassed all species of fungi that produced basidiocarps (fruit bodies) having a hymenium (spore-bearing surface) consisting of slender, downward-hanging tapering extensions referred to as "spines" or "teeth", whether they were related or not. This artificial but often useful grouping is now more generally called the hydnoid or tooth fungi. In the strict, modern sense, the Hydnaceae are limited to the genus ''Hydnum'' and related genera, with basidiocarps having a toothed or poroid hymenium. Species in the family are ectomycorrhizal, forming a mutually beneficial relationship with the roots of trees and other plants. '' Hydnum repandum'' (the hedgehog fungus) is an edible species, commercially collected in some countries and often marketed under the French name ''pied de mouton''.

Agaricus
''Agaricus'' is a genus of mushroom-forming fungi containing both edible and poisonous species, with over 400 members worldwide and possibly again as many disputed or newly discovered species. The genus includes the common ("button") mushroom ('' A. bisporus'') and the field mushroom ('' A. campestris''), the dominant cultivated mushrooms of the West. Taxonomy Several origins of genus name ''Agaricus'' have been proposed. It possibly originates from ancient Sarmatia Europaea, where people Agari, promontory Agarum and a river Agarus were known (all located on the northern shore of Sea of Azov, probably, near modern Berdiansk in Ukraine). Note also Greek , agarikón, "a sort of tree fungus" (There has been an ''Agaricon'' Adans. genus, treated by Donk in ''Persoonia'' 1:180.) For many years, members of the genus ''Agaricus'' were given the generic name ''Psalliota'', and this can still be seen in older books on mushrooms. All proposals to conserve ''Agaricus' ...

Basidia
A basidium (: basidia) is a microscopic spore-producing structure found on the hymenophore of reproductive bodies of basidiomycete fungi. The presence of basidia is one of the main characteristic features of the group. These bodies are also called tertiary mycelia, which are highly coiled versions of secondary mycelia. A basidium usually bears four sexual spores called basidiospores. Occasionally the number may be two or even eight. Each reproductive spore is produced at the tip of a narrow prong or horn called a sterigma (), and is forcefully expelled at full growth. The word ''basidium'' literally means "little pedestal". This is the way the basidium supports the spores. However, some biologists suggest that the structure looks more like a club. A partially grown basidium is known as a basidiole. Structure Most basidiomycota have single celled basidia (holobasidia), but some have ones with many cells (a phragmobasidia). For instance, rust fungi in the order ''Puccinal ...

Cantharellus Cibarius
''Cantharellus cibarius'' (Latin: ''cantharellus'', "chanterelle"; ''cibarius'', "culinary") is the golden chanterelle, the type species of the chanterelle genus ''Cantharellus''. It is also known as girolle (or ''girole''). Despite its characteristic features, ''C. cibarius'' can be confused with species such as the poisonous '' Omphalotus illudens''. The golden chanterelle is a commonly consumed and choice edible species. Taxonomy At one time, all yellow or golden chanterelles in North America had been classified as ''Cantharellus cibarius''. Using DNA analysis, they have since been shown to be a group of related species known as the ''Cantharellus cibarius'' group or species complex, with ''C. cibarius sensu stricto'' restricted to Europe. In 1997, '' C. formosus'' (the Pacific golden chanterelle) and ''C. cibarius'' var. ''roseocanus'' were identified, followed by '' C. cascadensis'' in 2003 and '' C. californicus'' in 2008.

Clavulinaceae
The Clavulinaceae are a family (biology), family of fungi in the order (biology), order Cantharellales. The family is not well defined, but currently comprises species of clavarioid fungi, clavarioid (club and coral) fungi as well as some corticioid fungi, corticioid (crust- and patch-forming) fungi. These species are nutritionally diverse, some being ectomycorrhizal, others wood-rotting saprotrophs, others lichenized, and yet others lichenicolous fungi, lichenicolous (growing on or parasitizing lichens). Taxonomy History The Dutch mycologist Marinus Anton Donk first published the tribe (biology), tribe Clavulinae in 1933 to accommodate species of clavarioid fungi in the genus ''Clavulina'' that had "stichic" basidia (basidia with nuclear spindles arranged longitudinally). He considered this feature placed the species concerned closer to the chanterelles (Cantharellales) than to other clavarioid fungi. In 1961, he raised the tribe to the rank of family, as the Clavulinaceae. In ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
