Cantharellus Luteopunctatus
''Cantharellus luteopunctatus'' is a species of fungus in the genus ''Cantharellus''. Found in Africa, it was described as new to science in 1928 by Belgian mycologist Maurice Beeli as ''Lentinus luteopunctatus''. Paul Heinemann Paul Heinemann (February 16, 1916 – June 18, 1996) was a Belgian botanist and mycology, mycologist. Heinemann specialized in African mycology. In his long career, he published 435 names, including 2 family (biology), families, 6 genera, 346 speci ... transferred it to ''Cantharellus'' in 1958.

Maurice Beeli
Maurice Philippe Gaspard Beeli (21 October 1879, St-Gilles-lez-Bruxelles – 17 March 1957) was a Belgian mycologist. For more than thirty years, being encouraged by Émile De Wildeman and Walter Robyns, successive directors of the National Botanic Garden of Belgium, he collaborated on collections of fungi native to Belgium and the Belgian Congo. Although regarded as a pioneer of Congolese mycology, he never travelled to Africa. Between 1920 and 1940, he published nearly 30 works about African mushrooms that were kept at the botanical garden, with 11 of the articles being printed in the journal "Fungi Goossensiani". He initiated work on the "''Flore iconographique des champignons du Congo''", precursor to the "''Flore illustrée des champignons d’Afrique centrale''", a major regional work. As a taxonomist, he circumscribed the genus ''Meliolinopsis'' (synonym '' Meliolaster''). Partial bibliography * (1920). ''Note sur le genre Meliola Fr. Éspèces et variétés nouvelle ...

Fungus
A fungus (: fungi , , , or ; or funguses) is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and mold (fungus), molds, as well as the more familiar mushrooms. These organisms are classified as one of the kingdom (biology)#Six kingdoms (1998), 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 motility, 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 o ... [...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] |
Paul Heinemann
Paul Heinemann (February 16, 1916 – June 18, 1996) was a Belgian botanist and mycology, mycologist. Heinemann specialized in African mycology. In his long career, he published 435 names, including 2 family (biology), families, 6 genera, 346 species, and 40 variety (botany), varieties. His collections of dried specimens, numbering about 7000, are preserved in the herbarium, herbaria of the University Faculty of Agricultural Sciences in Gembloux and of the National Botanic Garden of Belgium, in Meise. The fungal genus ''Heinemannomyces'' was named in his honor, as were the species ''Agaricus heinemannianus'', ''Marasmius heinemannianus'', and ''Peyritschiella heinemanniana''.

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] |
