Cantharellus Subg. Afrocantharellus
''Afrocantharellus'' is a subgenus of fungi in the genus ''Cantharellus''. Species in this subgenus are found in Africa and Asia. Taxonomy It was originally named as a subgenus of ''Cantharellus'', but was elevated to the rank of genus ''Afrocantharellus'' by Donatha D. Tibuhwa in 2012 based on morphology (biology), morphological and molecular phylogenetics, molecular evidence. The genus was reverted back to a subgenus by further molecular-based infrageneric classification in a more recent study and this has been followed by other researchers.

Tanzania
Tanzania, officially the United Republic of Tanzania, is a country in East Africa within the African Great Lakes region. It is bordered by Uganda to the northwest; Kenya to the northeast; the Indian Ocean to the east; Mozambique and Malawi to the south; Zambia to the southwest; and Rwanda, Burundi, and the Democratic Republic of the Congo to the west. According to a 2024 estimate, Tanzania has a population of around 67.5 million, making it the most populous country located entirely south of the equator. Many important hominid fossils have been found in Tanzania. In the Stone and Bronze Age, prehistoric migrations into Tanzania included South Cushitic languages, Southern Cushitic speakers similar to modern day Iraqw people who moved south from present-day Ethiopia; Eastern Cushitic people who moved into Tanzania from north of Lake Turkana about 2,000 and 4,000 years ago; and the Southern Nilotic languages, Southern Nilotes, including the Datooga people, Datoog, who originated fro ...

Cantharellus Protectus
''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) which are ...

Castanopsis Fissa
''Castanopsis'', commonly called chinquapin or chinkapin, is a genus of evergreen trees belonging to the beech family, Fagaceae. The genus contains about 140 species, which are today restricted to tropical and subtropical eastern Asia. The English name chinkapin is shared with other related plants, including the golden chinkapins of the Pacific northwest, which are sometimes included within ''Castanopsis'' but are more often considered a separate but very closely related genus, ''Chrysolepis''. Description They show many characters typical of Fagaceae. They are at least large shrubs but some species grow into sizeable trees. Their leaves are usually tough and much sclerotized and have a well-developed cuticula. Their flowers are unisexual, and the male ones are borne in erect catkins. The epigynous female flowers produce a single seed each but are congregated in small clusters. The fruit is a calybium, the kind of encased nut typical of Fagaceae. The calybium (nut) resembles a ...

Cantharellus Guyanensis
''Cantharellus guyanensis'' is a tropical South American species of mushroom-forming fungus in the chanterelle genus (''Cantharellus''), first described by Camille Montagne from French Guiana in 1854. It has since also been found in Guyana, Suriname, Venezuela, and Brazil. The fruit bodies have a bright orange cap colour and occur in medium- to large-sized troops. ''C. guyanensis'' seems to prefer sand-rich soil and forms ectomycorrhiza with a putatively wide range of host trees and shrubs including ''Coccoloba'', ''Guapira'', and ''Neea''. Its congeners '' Cantharellus aurantioconspicuus'', '' C. amazonensis'', and '' C. protectus'', all described from Brazil, are similar species. Although edible An edible item is any item that is safe for humans to eat. "Edible" is differentiated from " eatable" because it does not indicate how an item tastes, only whether it is fit to be eaten. Nonpoisonous items found in nature – such as some mushroo ..., ''C. guyanensis'' seems to be s ...
