Climacodon
''Climacodon'' is a widespread genus of hydnoid fungi, tooth fungi in the family Phanerochaetaceae. Taxonomy The genus was circumscription (taxonomy), circumscribed by Finnish mycologist Petter Karsten in 1881 with ''Climacodon septentrionalis'' as the type species. This fungus was originally species description, described by Elias Magnus Fries in 1821 as ''Hydnum septentrionale''.

Climacodon Septentrionalis
''Climacodon septentrionalis'', commonly known as the northern tooth fungus or the white rot fungus, is a species of shelf fungus in the phylum Basidiomycota. It is white in color and can be found in large clusters on the trunks of trees. This species is a plant pathogen native to North America. Taxonomy ''Climacodon septentrionalis'' was originally described by Elias Magnus Fries in 1821 under the genus ''Hydnum''. It was later transferred to ''Climacodon'' in 1881 by Petter Karsten. Description Individual caps are semicircular or kidney-shaped and can reach up to across and at the base. They typically occur in large groups that can reach in height. Young caps range from mostly white to a yellow-cream color, and slowly become a yellow-brown as they age. The caps tend to persist for multiple weeks, allowing algae to grow, giving them a slightly green appearance. The cap surface can be rough or even hairy, and can have concentric rings radiating out from the base. The unde ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Climacodon Pulcherrimus
''Climacodon pulcherrimus'' is a white rot–causing species of tooth fungus in the family Phanerochaetaceae. The species was first described as a species of ''Hydnum'' by Miles Berkeley and Moses Ashley Curtis in 1849. T. L. Nikolajeva transferred it to its current genus, ''Climacodon'', in 1962, but research published in 2007 suggests it should be placed in a different genus. It is widely distributed in subtropical and tropical areas, where it grows on decomposing hardwood Hardwood is wood from Flowering plant, angiosperm trees. These are usually found in broad-leaved temperate and tropical forests. In temperate and boreal ecosystem, boreal latitudes they are mostly deciduous, but in tropics and subtropics mostl ...s, causing a white rot.

Climacodon Sanguineus
''Climacodon sanguineus'' is a rare species of tooth fungus in the family Phanerochaetaceae that is found in Africa. Taxonomy The fungus was originally described as ''Hydnum sanguineum'' by Belgian mycologist Maurice Beeli in 1926. The holotype collection was made near Kalo, Democratic Republic of the Congo Rudolph Arnold Maas Geesteranus transferred the species to genus ''Climacodon'' in 1971. Phylogenetic data shows that ''C. sanguineus'' forms a well-supported clade with the type species of ''Climacodon'', '' C. septentrionale'', which nests in the Phlebioid clade. Description The bright red, funnel-shaped fruit bodies of this fungus are up to tall. They have sharp, cylindrical spines on the underside of the cap. ''C. sanguineus'' has a monomitic hyphal system, containing only generative hyphae. These hyphae have a septum; some of the hyphae comprising the cap and in the core of the spines have clamps. The cystidia, which are scattered on the surface on the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Meruliaceae
The Meruliaceae are a family of fungi in the order Polyporales. According to a 2008 estimate, the family contains 47 genera and 420 species. , Index Fungorum accepts 645 species in the family. Taxonomy The family was formally circumscribed by English mycologist Carleton Rea in 1922, with '' Merulius'' as the type genus. He also included the genera ''Phlebia'', '' Coniophora'' (now placed in the Coniophoraceae), and ''Coniophorella'' (now considered a synonym of ''Coniophora''). His description of the Meruliaceae was as follows: "Hymenium spread over veins, anastomosing pores, or quite smooth; ''edge of veins or pores fertile.''" Several genera formerly classified in the Meruliaceae were moved to the family Steccherinaceae based on molecular evidence. Description Meruliaceae species are crust-like or polyporoid, and often have a waxy appearance when dry. Their hyphal systems are monomitic (containing only tightly arranged generative hyphae), and these hyphae have clamp connec ...

Hydnoid Fungi
The hydnoid fungi are a group of fungi in the Basidiomycota with basidiocarps (fruit bodies) producing spores on pendant, tooth-like or spine-like projections. They are colloquially called tooth fungi. Originally such fungi were referred to the genus ''Hydnum'' ("hydnoid" means ''Hydnum''-like), but it is now known that not all hydnoid species are closely related. History ''Hydnum'' was one of the original genera created by Linnaeus in his ''Species Plantarum'' of 1753. It contained all species of fungi with fruit bodies bearing pendant, tooth-like projections. Subsequent authors described around 900 species in the genus. With increasing use of the microscope, it became clear that not all tooth fungi were closely related and most ''Hydnum'' species were gradually moved to other genera. The Dutch mycologist Rudolph Arnold Maas Geesteranus paid particular attention to the group, producing a series of papers reviewing the taxonomy of hydnoid fungi. The original genus ''Hydnum'' is st ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Phanerochaetaceae
The Phanerochaetaceae are a family of mostly crust fungi in the order Polyporales. Taxonomy Phanerochaetaceae was first conceived by Swedish mycologist John Eriksson in 1958 as the subfamily Phanerochaetoideae of the Corticiaceae. It was later published validly by Erast Parmasto in 1986, and raised to familial status by Swiss mycologist Walter Jülich in 1982. The type genus is '' Phanerochaete''. In 2007, Karl-Henrik Larsson proposed using the name Phanerochaetaceae to refer to the clade of crust fungi clustered near ''Phanerochaete''. In 2013, a more extensive molecular analysis showed that the Phanerochaetaceae were a subclade of the large phlebioid clade, which also contains members of the families Meruliaceae and Irpicaceae. The generic limits of ''Phanerochaete'' were revised in 2015, and new genera were added in 2016. , Index Fungorum accepts 30 genera and 367 species in the family. Description Most Phanerochaetaceae species are crust-like. Their hyphal system is m ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Petter Karsten
Petter Adolf Karsten (16 February 1834 – 22 March 1917) was a Finnish mycologist, the foremost expert on the fungi of Finland in his day, and known in consequence as the "father of Finnish mycology". Karsten was born in Merimasku near Turku, studied at the University of Helsinki, and then moved to the inland of Tammela, where he spent most of his life with teaching botany and doing research at the Mustiala Agriculture Institute (now the Faculty of Agriculture of the HAMK University of Applied Sciences). He amassed a vast collection, both by his own efforts and those of his correspondents, and named about 200 new genera and 2,000 new species. Between 1861 and 1870 Karsten edited the exsiccata series ''Fungi Fenniae exsiccati. Samling af Finska svampar'' with 1,000 numbers. In his mycological studies he extensively used the microscope and can be considered as the pioneer of fungal microscopy.

Polyporales Genera
The Polyporales are an order of about 1,800 species of fungi in the division Basidiomycota. The order includes some (but not all) polypores as well as many corticioid fungi and a few agarics (mainly in the genus ''Lentinus''). Many species within the order are saprotrophic, most of them wood-rotters. Some genera, such as ''Ganoderma'' and '' Fomes'', contain species that attack living tissues and then continue to degrade the wood of their dead hosts. Those of economic importance include several important pathogens of trees and a few species that cause damage by rotting structural timber. Some of the Polyporales are commercially cultivated and marketed for use as food items or in traditional Chinese medicine. Taxonomy History The order was originally proposed in 1926 by Swiss mycologist Ernst Albert Gäumann to accommodate species within the phylum Basidiomycota producing basidiocarps (fruit bodies) showing a gymnocapous mode of development (forming the spore-bearing surface e ...
