Hygrophoraceae
The Hygrophoraceae are a family (biology), family of fungi in the order (biology), order Agaricales. Originally conceived as containing white-spored, thick-gilled agarics (gilled mushrooms), including ''Hygrophorus'' and ''Hygrocybe'' species (the waxcaps or waxy caps), DNA evidence has extended the limits of the family, so it now contains not only agarics, but also basidiolichens and corticioid fungi. Species are thus diverse and are variously ectomycorrhizal, lichenized, associated with mosses, or saprotrophic. The family contains 34 genera and over 1000 species. None is of any great economic importance, though fruit bodies of some ''Hygrocybe'' and ''Hygrophorus'' species are considered edible and may be collected for sale in local markets. Taxonomy History The family Hygrophoraceae was first proposed by Dutch botanist Johannes Paulus Lotsy (1907) to accommodate agarics with thick, waxy lamella (mycology), lamellae (gills) and white basidiospore, spores. Lotsy's concept of the ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Dictyonema
''Dictyonema'' is a genus of mainly tropical basidiolichens in the family Hygrophoraceae. The ''Dictyonema'' symbiosis Most lichens are a symbiosis between an ascomycota, ascomycete fungus and a photosynthetic green alga. However, a small percentage of lichens (approximately 10%) are cyanolichens and contain a photosynthetic cyanobacterium instead of green algae, and an even smaller number (less than 1%) are basidiolichens and contain a basidiomycota, basidiomycete fungus instead of an ascomycete. This makes ''Dictyonema'' more closely related to mushrooms than it is to most other lichens. Taxonomy and naming The genus ''Dictyonema'' was first named in 1822 by Carl Adolph Agardh, Carl Agardh and Carl Sigismund Kunth, Carl Kunth after examining a novel fungus that was sent to them from Brazil.Kunth, CS, and CA Agardh. 1822.

Hygrocybe
''Hygrocybe'' is a genus of agarics (gilled fungi) in the family Hygrophoraceae. Called waxcaps in English (sometimes waxy caps in North America), basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are often brightly coloured and have dry to waxy pileus (mycology), caps, white spores, and smooth, ringless stipe (mycology), stems. In Europe waxcaps are characteristic of old, unimproved grasslands (termed waxcap grasslands) which are a declining habitat, making many ''Hygrocybe'' species of conservation (biology), conservation concern. Four of these waxcap-grassland species, ''Hygrocybe citrinovirens'', ''Hygrocybe punicea, H. punicea'', ''Hygrocybe spadicea, H. spadicea'', and ''Hygrocybe splendidissima, H. splendidissima'', are assessed as globally "vulnerable" on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Elsewhere waxcaps are more typically found in woodlands. Most are ground-dwelling and all are believed to be biotrophs. Around 150 species are recognized worldwide. Fruit bodies of severa ...

Cora (fungus)
''Cora'' is a large genus of basidiolichens in the family Hygrophoraceae. Modern molecular phylogenetics research has revealed a rich biodiversity in this largely tropical genus. Taxonomy ''Cora'' was originally circumscription (taxonomy), circumscribed by the Swedish "Father of Mycology", Elias Magnus Fries, in 1825. He included a single species, until then known as ''Thelephora pavonia'' . Until relatively recently, ''Cora'' was thought to contain one species, or was placed into synonym (taxonomy), synonymy with ''Dictyonema''. ''Cora'' was recognized as an independent genus separate from ''Dictyonema'' in 2013. Molecular phylogenetic analysis using DNA barcoding of the internal transcribed spacer region has improved the understanding of the diversity of ''Cora''. In 2016, a landmark study identified and formally described 70 new species, bringing the total number of recognised ''Cora'' species to 189. This represented a dramatic increase from the single species recognized unti ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Eonema
''Eonema'' is a fungal genus in the family Hygrophoraceae. It is monotypic, consisting of the single corticioid species ''Eonema pyriforme''. This fungus was previously classified in the genus '' Athelia'' until molecular analysis demonstrated that it was unrelated to the Atheliales and instead nested within the Hygrophoraceae.

Chromosera
''Chromosera'' is a genus of fungi in the family Hygrophoraceae. Within the family Hygrophoraceae it is closely related to the genus '' Gloioxanthomyces''. It contains eight brightly colored species showing yellow and/or bluish to violet coloration. Three species are lignicolous, growing on decaying conifer wood. Other species grow on rich organic soil or peat. At least one species can be cultured and displays characteristic yellow and violet pigments in its mycelium. The generic name honors the mycologist Meinhard Moser, and also alludes ('' chromos'') to the distinct coloration of the mushrooms, by overlapping 'chromos' with 'Moser', hence ''Chromosera''.

Aeruginospora
''Aeruginospora'' is a genus of fungi in the family Hygrophoraceae. It was formerly placed in the family Tricholomataceae, but it was moved to the Hygrophoraceae in a recent review of the family based on its morphological similarity to '' Chrysomphalina'' and especially '' Haasiella''. It might be that ''Haasiella'', which differs in spore color and ecology, is a junior synonym of ''Aeruginospora'', but this has not yet been tested in a molecular phylogenetics study. The genus, described by Franz Xaver Rudolf von Höhnel in 1908, currently contains two species found in New Zealand and Indonesia Indonesia, officially the Republic of Indonesia, is a country in Southeast Asia and Oceania, between the Indian Ocean, Indian and Pacific Ocean, Pacific oceans.

Haasiella
''Haasiella'' is a fungal genus in the family Hygrophoraceae. It is a monotypic genus that contains only the species ''Haasiella venustissima''. ''Haasiella splendidissima'', formerly considered to be a distinct species based on its 4-spored basidia, was found by a DNA study to be synonymous with ''Haasiella venustissima''. ''Haasiella venustissima'' is only known from Europe and is saprotrophic on wood. ''Haasiella'' was described as a new genus in 1966 by Czech mycologists František Kotlaba and Zdeněk Pouzar. It is most closely related to the genus ''Hygrophorus''. The genus name is in honour of Hans Haas, a German mycologist, who was a specialist on ''Agaricus'' from Schnait near Stuttgart.

Gloioxanthomyces
''Gloioxanthomyces'' is a genus of fungi in the family Hygrophoraceae. It was circumscribed in 2013 to contain '' G. nitidus'', and the type species, '' G. vitellinus''. Within the Hygrophoraceae, it is in the tribe ''Chromosereae'' and closely related to the genus ''Chromosera''. The generic name derives from the Greek ''gloio'' ("glutinous"), ''xantho'' ("yellow"), and ''myces'' (fungus).

Gliophorus
''Gliophorus'' is a genus of agaric fungi in the family (biology), family Hygrophoraceae. ''Gliophorus'' species belong to a group known as waxcaps in English, sometimes also waxy caps in North America or waxgills in New Zealand. In Europe, ''Gliophorus'' species are typical of waxcap grasslands, a declining habitat due to changing agricultural practices. As a result, two species, ''Gliophorus europerplexus'' and ''Gliophorus reginae'', are of global conservation concern and are listed as "vulnerable" on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Taxonomy The genus was described by Czech mycologist Josef Herink in 1958. It was formerly synonym (biology), synonymized with ''Hygrocybe'' by many authorities, but recent Molecular phylogenetics, molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences, indicates that ''Gliophorus'' is monophyletic and forms a natural group distinct from ''Hygrocybe'' sensu stricto.
