Clitocybula
''Clitocybula'' is a genus of mushroom-forming fungi in the family Porotheleaceae but was originally classified within Marasmiaceae. The genus was circumscribed by Georges Métrod in 1952. Species in the genus are commonly known as "coincaps". Description ''Clitocybula'' fruit bodies are small- to medium-sized, with a morphology ranging from clitocyboid, collybioid, mycenoid, pleurotoid, to omphalinoid. Gills are decurrent, and the stipe is cylindrical and equal in width throughout its length. ''Clitocybula'' spores are smooth, ellipsoid to roughly spherical in shape, hyaline (translucent), and mostly amyloid (staining with Melzer's reagent). Species See also *List of Agaricales genera *List of Marasmiaceae genera The Marasmiaceae are a family (biology), family of fungi in the order Agaricales. It includes over 50 genera and some 1590 species. Genera Notes and references ;Notes ;References {{reflist, 2, refs= {{cite journal , last=Agerer , fir ... Referen ...

Clitocybula Azurea
''Clitocybula azurea'' is a species of mushroom in the genus '' Clitocybula''. It is native to Central and South America South America is a continent entirely in the Western Hemisphere and mostly in the Southern Hemisphere, with a relatively small portion in the Northern Hemisphere at the northern tip of the continent. It can also be described as the souther .... ''Clitocybula azurea'' has subglobose to broadly ellipsoid, smooth, inequilateral, amyloid spores which measure 4–6.5 × 3–5 μm. The cheilocystidia and pleurocystidia measure 18–30 × 3.5–8 μm and are versiform, cylindrical, clavate or utriform, subcapitate or with an apical papilla. Phylogenetically ''Clitocybula azurea'' is in Clitocybula sensu stricto, and is a sister species to '' Clitocybula familia''.

Porotheleaceae
The Porotheleaceae are a family of saprotrophic, mainly wood-decay fungi in the order Agaricales that are primarily agarics, but also include cyphelloid fungi. The family had been informally cited in the literature as the 'hydropoid' clade. The type genus, '' Porotheleum'', was placed in the phylogenetically defined clade in 2002 but the clade was more strongly supported in 2006 though without including '' Porotheleum''. Its sister group is the Cyphellaceae, both in the 'marasmioid clade'. Some included taxa are cultivated by ants. More recently the family was recognized in three analyses that included '' Porotheleum''. See also *List of Agaricales families The Agaricales are an order of fungi in the class Agaricomycetes (division Basidiomycota). It is the largest group of mushroom-forming fungi, and includes more than 400 genera and over 13,000 species. Molecular phylogenetics analyses of ribosomal ...

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''.

Stipe (mycology)
In mycology, a stipe () is the stem or stalk-like feature supporting the cap of a mushroom. Like all tissues of the mushroom other than the hymenium, the stipe is composed of sterile hyphal tissue. In many instances, however, the fertile hymenium extends down the stipe some distance. Fungi that have stipes are said to be stipitate. The evolutionary benefit of a stipe is generally considered to be in mediating spore dispersal. An elevated mushroom will more easily release its spores into wind currents or onto passing animals. Nevertheless, many mushrooms do not have stipes, including cup fungi, puffballs, earthstars, some polypores, jelly fungi, ergots, and smuts. It is often the case that features of the stipe are required to make a positive identification of a mushroom. Such distinguishing characters include: # the texture of the stipe (fibrous, brittle, chalky, leathery, firm, etc.) # whether it has remains of a partial veil (such as an annulus or cortina) or unive ...

Melzer's Reagent
Melzer's reagent (also known as Melzer's iodine reagent, Melzer's solution or informally as Melzer's) is a chemical reagent used by mycologists to assist with the identification of fungi, and by phytopathologists for fungi that are plant pathogens. Composition Melzer's reagent is an aqueous solution of chloral hydrate, potassium iodide, and iodine. Depending on the formulation, it consists of approximately 2.50-3.75% potassium iodide and 0.75–1.25% iodine, with the remainder of the solution being 50% water and 50% chloral hydrate. Melzer's is toxic to humans if ingested due to the presence of iodine and chloral hydrate. Due to the legal status of chloral hydrate, Melzer's reagent is difficult to obtain in the United States. In response to difficulties obtaining chloral hydrate, scientists at Rutgers formulated Visikol (compatible with Lugol's iodine) as a replacement. In 2019, research showed that Visikol behaves differently to Melzer’s reagent in several key situations, ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
