Boreostereum
''Boreostereum'' is a genus of corticioid fungi. The genus was circumscribed in 1968 by Erast Parmasto to contain the type species, which was formerly known as ''Stereum radiatum''. ''Boreostereum'' has four species that are widely distributed in northern temperate areas. Species in the genus have a dimitic hyphal system, and the hyphae have with brown encrustations that turn greenish when potassium hydroxide is applied. '' Boreosterum vibrans'' produces vibralactones, chemical metabolites that inhibit various enzymes. Recent phylogenetic research indicates that ''Boreostereum'' is a sister group to the rest of the Gloeophyllales The Gloeophyllales are a phylogenetically defined order of wood-decay fungi that is characterized by the ability to produce a brown rot of wood. * * * * It includes a single, identically defined family Family (from ) is a Social grou ....

Gloeophyllum
''Gloeophyllum'' is a genus of fungus in the class Agaricomycetes. It is characterized by the production of leathery to corky tough, brown, shaggy-topped, revivable fruitbodies lacking a stipe and with a lamellate to daedaleoid or poroid fertile hymenial surfaces. The hyphal system is dimitic to trimitic. The genus is further characterized by the production of a brown rot of wood. Phylogenetically, it along with several other brown rot Basidiomycota, ''Neolentinus'', '' Heliocybe'', and '' Veluticeps'' form an order called the Gloeophyllales. The most frequently encountered species in the Northern Hemisphere is ''Gloeophyllum sepiarium'', which is commonly found in a dried state on both bark-covered and decorticated conifer stumps and logs, timbers on wharfs, planks on unpainted wooden buildings, wood bridges, and even creosoted railroad ties. Pharmacology An extract of '' Gleophyllum odoratum'' exhibits high inhibitory activity on thrombin and trypsin as well as cysteine pro ...

Neolentinus
''Neolentinus'' is a genus of wood-decaying agarics with tough (leathery to woody) fruit bodies composed of dimitic tissue, serrated lamella edges, and nonamyloid white binucleate basidiospores among other features. It was segregated from ''Lentinus'' in the broad taxonomic sense, hence the derivation of the name. Biologically ''Neolentinus'' species produce a brown rot type of decay of wood, whereas ''Lentinus'' causes a white rot. Molecular phylogenetic analysis shows that the two genera are unrelated. ''Neolentinus'' is phylogenetically allied to other brown rot genera such as '' Gloeophyllum'', '' Heliocybe'', and '' Veluticeps''. A new order, the Gloeophyllales, has been described for these fungi. ''Heliocybe'' had been placed in synonymy but it differs phylogenetically and anatomically by the lack of clamp connections that all ''Neolentinus'' produce on their generative hyphae. Species The best known species in this genus is ''Neolentinus lepideus'', sometimes known ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Campylomyces
''Campylomyces'' is a genus of wood-rotting fungi in the family Gloeophyllaceae. The genus, circumscribed by Karen K. Nakasone in 2004 to contain two species formerly assigned to '' Veluticeps'', is characterized by producing small, thin, cup-shaped fruit bodies The sporocarp (also known as fruiting body, fruit body or fruitbody) of fungi is a multicellular structure on which spore-producing structures, such as basidia or asci, are borne. The fruitbody is part of the sexual phase of a fungal life cyc ... that grow in groups. References Gloeophyllales Agaricomycetes genera {{Agaricomycetes-stub ...

Heliocybe
''Heliocybe'' is an agaric genus closely allied to ''Neolentinus'' and the bracket fungus, ''Gloeophyllum'', all of which cause brown rot of wood. ''Heliocybe sulcata'' is the type and sole species. Description ''Heliocybe sulcata'' is characterized by thumb-sized, tough, revivable, often dried, mushroom fruitbodies. The tanned symmetric cap ( pileus) is up to across and radially cracked into a ray pattern of scales and ridges. The lamellae are cream-coloured, distant and serrated. The stipe is cylindrical, up to 2 cm tall and 4 mm wide, sometimes curved, and scaly towards the base, often enlarged. Like ''Neolentinus'', ''H. sulcata'' produces abundant, conspicuous pleurocystidia, but ''H. sulcata'' lacks clamp connections. ''Crinipellis zonata'' lacks the raised ridges along the margin. Taxonomy In older classifications, ''H. sulcata'' was known as ''Lentinus sulcatus'' or ''Panus fulvidus''. However, there is strong phylogenetic evidence for the segregat ...

Mycothele
''Mycothele'' is a fungal genus in the family Gloeophyllaceae. Circumscribed by Swiss mycologist Walter Jülich in 1976, the genus is monotypic In biology, a monotypic taxon is a taxonomic group (taxon) that contains only one immediately subordinate taxon. A monotypic species is one that does not include subspecies or smaller, infraspecific taxa. In the case of genera, the term "unisp ..., containing the single species ''Mycothele disciformis''.

Veluticeps
''Veluticeps'' is a small genus of wood-rot fungi characterized by the production of resupinate to bracket shaped, perennial, tough, brown fruitbodies, that blacken when KOH solution is applied, and with a smooth to warted or cracked fertile undersurface. They cause a brown rot of woo cystidium, Cystidia in the hymenium are characteristically mostly in fascicles. The genus may be monotypic if '' Columnocystis'' is excluded. Phylogenetically, the type species, ''V. berkeleyi'', groups with several other brown rot genera such as Neolentinus, Heliocybe, and Gloeophyllum. Etymology The name Veluticeps was an elevation of the former species epithet ''"veluticeps"'' for the type species which was renamed, ''V. berkeleyi''. Tautonyms, such as ''"Veluticeps veluticeps"'' would be illegitimate under the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature The ''International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants'' (ICN or ICNafp) is the set of rules and recommendations dealing ...

Gloeophyllum Sepiarium
''Gloeophyllum sepiarium'', the rusty gilled polypore, is a wood decay fungus that causes a brown rot. Description The cap is wide, loosely fan-shaped, brown with a yellow-orange margin during growth, velvety then smooth, and leathery with a mild odor and taste. The gills are adnate and close, light when fresh and darker both near the wood and in age. The spores are white, cylindrical, and smooth. The spore print is white. The fruiting body grows for only one year, and produces spores in late summer and autumn. Its hymenial surface is distinctive from other polypores due to the presence of gills. The species is inedible. Similar species Similar species include '' G. trabeum'', '' Daedaleopsis confragosa'', ''Daedalea quercina'', '' Lenzites betulina'', '' Trametes betulina'', and ''T. versicolor''.

Phylogeny
A phylogenetic tree or phylogeny is a graphical representation which shows the evolutionary history between a set of species or Taxon, taxa during a specific time.Felsenstein J. (2004). ''Inferring Phylogenies'' Sinauer Associates: Sunderland, MA. In other words, it is a branching diagram or a tree (graph theory), tree showing the evolutionary relationships among various biological species or other entities based upon similarities and differences in their physical or genetic characteristics. In evolutionary biology, all life on Earth is theoretically part of a single phylogenetic tree, indicating common ancestry. Phylogenetics is the study of phylogenetic trees. The main challenge is to find a phylogenetic tree representing optimal evolutionary ancestry between a set of species or taxa. computational phylogenetics, Computational phylogenetics (also phylogeny inference) focuses on the algorithms involved in finding optimal phylogenetic tree in the phylogenetic landscape.

Order (biology)
Order () is one of the eight major hierarchical taxonomic ranks in Linnaean taxonomy. It is classified between family and class. In biological classification, the order is a taxonomic rank used in the classification of organisms and recognized by the nomenclature codes. An immediately higher rank, superorder, is sometimes added directly above order, with suborder directly beneath order. An order can also be defined as a group of related families. What does and does not belong to each order is determined by a taxonomist, as is whether a particular order should be recognized at all. Often there is no exact agreement, with different taxonomists each taking a different position. There are no hard rules that a taxonomist needs to follow in describing or recognizing an order. Some taxa are accepted almost universally, while others are recognized only rarely. The name of an order is usually written with a capital letter. For some groups of organisms, their orders may follow consist ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Wood-decay Fungus
A wood-decay or xylophagous fungus is any species of fungus that digests moist wood, causing it to rot. Some species of wood-decay fungi attack dead wood, such as ''Serpula lacrymans'', and some, such as '' Armillaria'' (honey fungus), are parasitic and colonize living trees. Excessive moisture above the fibre saturation point in wood is required for fungal colonization and proliferation. In nature, this process causes the breakdown of complex molecules and leads to the return of nutrients to the soil. Wood-decay fungi consume wood in various ways; for example, some attack the carbohydrates in wood, and some others decay lignin. The rate of decay of wooden materials in various climates can be estimated by empirical models.Viitanen, T. et al. (2010). Towards modelling of decay risk of wooden materials. European Journal of Wood and Wood Products 68:303-313. Wood-decay fungi can be classified according to the type of decay that they cause. The best-known types are brown rot, soft ...
