Collybia Butyracea
''Collybia'' (in the strict sense) is a genus of mushrooms in the family Clitocybaceae. The genus has a widespread distribution in northern temperate areas, and contains well known species like the Collybia nuda, blewit, Collybia sordida, sordid blewit, and Collybia phyllophila, frosty funnel, as well as various species that grow on the decomposing remains of other mushrooms. The name ''Collybia'' means "small coin". History of taxonomy Until recently a large number of other white-spored species, some very common, were assigned to this genus, but the majority have been separated into other genera: ''Gymnopus'', ''Rhodocollybia'' and ''Dendrocollybia'', leaving the genus with only three species. Later, research published in 2023 reassigned a number of species previously considered to be in the genus ''Clitocybe'' to the genus ''Collybia'', including the edible blewit and brownit mushrooms, expanding the genus once again. ''Collybia'' sensu lato (1820s to 1990s) ''Collyb ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Collybia Tuberosa
''Collybia tuberosa'', commonly known as the lentil shanklet or the appleseed coincap, is a species of fungus in the family Tricholomataceae, and the type species of the genus '' Collybia''. The fungus produces small whitish fruit bodies with caps up to wide held by thin stems up to long. On the underside of the cap are closely spaced white gills that are broadly attached to the stem. At the base of the stem, embedded in the substrate is a small reddish-brown sclerotium that somewhat resembles an apple seed. The appearance of the sclerotium distinguishes it from the other two species of ''Collybia'', which are otherwise very similar in overall appearance. Like the two other members of its genus, ''C. tuberosa'' lives on the decomposing remains of other fleshy mushrooms. It is found in Europe, North America, and Japan, growing in dense clusters on species of ''Lactarius'' and ''Russula'', boletes, hydnums, and polypores. A 2023 chemical analysis found that this mus ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
