Marasmius
''Marasmius'' is a genus of mushroom-forming fungi in the family Marasmiaceae. It contains about 500 species of agarics, of which a few, such as '' Marasmius oreades'', are edible. However, most members of this genus are small, unimpressive brown mushrooms. Their humble appearance contributes to their not being readily distinguishable to non-specialists, and they are therefore seldom collected by mushroom hunters. Several of the species are known to grow in the characteristic fairy ring pattern. The author of the genus was Elias Magnus Fries, who in 1838 classified white-spored agarics having a tough central stipe in this taxon if they were marcescent, i.e. they could dry out but later revive when moistened. For Fries, marcescence—by contrast with the " putrescent" (decomposing) nature of most mushrooms—was an important character for classification, which he used to separate this group from genus '' Collybia'' (which has now been split into many newer gener ...

Marasmius Rotula
''Marasmius rotula'' is a common species of agaric fungus in the family Marasmiaceae. Widespread in the Northern Hemisphere, it is commonly known variously as the pinwheel mushroom, the pinwheel marasmius, the little wheel, the collared parachute, or the horse hair fungus. The type species of the genus ''Marasmius'', ''M. rotula'' was first described scientifically in 1772 by mycologist Giovanni Antonio Scopoli and assigned its current name in 1838 by Elias Fries. The fruit bodies, or mushrooms, of ''M. rotula'' are characterized by their whitish, thin, and membranous caps up to wide that are sunken in the center, and pleated with scalloped margins. The slender and wiry black hollow stems measure up to long by thick. On the underside of the caps are widely spaced white gills that are attached to a collar encircling the stem. The mushrooms grow in groups or clusters on decaying wood such as fallen twigs and sticks, moss-covered logs, and stumps. Although many mu ...

Marasmius Oreades
''Marasmius oreades'', also known as the fairy ring mushroom, fairy ring champignon or Scotch bonnet, is a mushroom native to North America and Europe. Its common names can cause confusion, as many other mushrooms grow in fairy rings, such as the edible '' Agaricus campestris'' and the poisonous '' Chlorophyllum molybdites''. It also resembles some toxic species, but is itself a choice edible mushroom. Description The cap is across; it is bell-shaped with a somewhat inrolled margin at first, becoming broadly convex with an even or uplifted margin. It usually retaining a slight central bump and is dry, smooth, pale tan or buff (occasionally white), or reddish tan; it usually changes color markedly as it dries out; the margin is sometimes faintly lined.little brown mushrooms">little_brown_mushrooms.html" ;"title="nowiki/>little brown mushrooms">nowiki/>little brown mushroomsworth learning". The mushroom reportedly has a firm, chewy texture and a meaty, spicy flavor. The mushroo ...

Mycetinis Alliaceus
''Mycetinis alliaceus'' ( syn. ''Marasmius alliaceus''), commonly known as the garlic parachute, is one of the larger mushrooms formerly in the genus '' Marasmius'', having a beige cap of up to 4 cm and a long tough slender stipe. It emanates a strong smell of garlic, and this is the significance of the Latin species name, ''alliaceus''. It is distributed throughout Europe, being fairly common in some areas and quite rare in others. Description The species can be described as follows: *The cap is beige, ochre or flesh-coloured and is 2–4 cm in diameter, sometimes wrinkled, somewhat domed in the middle. *The gills are whitish and narrowly attached to the stem. *The spore powder is white. *The tough dark-coloured stem can be 15 cm tall but is only up to 3 mm in diameter. *The stem is velvety (pruinose) and black below, though it may be brown near the top. The strong taste and smell of garlic is a product of the separation of γ-glutamyl-marismin. This mushro ...

Marasmius Elegans
''Marasmius elegans'', commonly known as the velvet parachute, is a species of fungus in the family Marasmiaceae. It has a reddish-brown pileus (mycology), cap, and a whitish stipe (mycology), stipe with white hairs at the base. It can be found in eucalypt forests in Australia. Taxonomy The species was originally species description, described as ''Collybia elegans'' by the Australian mycologist John Burton Cleland in 1933. Cheryl Grgurinovic transferred it to ''Marasmius'' in a 1997 publication. See also *List of Marasmius species, List of ''Marasmius'' species References

Mycetinis
''Mycetinis'' is a genus of fungus in the Omphalotaceae family, containing about eight species formerly classified in ''Marasmius''. General This group of mushrooms was long known as a section (''Alliacei'') within the more familiar genus ''Marasmius'', which means that each of the species has a synonym under ''Marasmius''. They are distinguished from other ''Marasmius'' by the hymeniform cap skin which consists of smooth cells, with hyphae which do not show a dextrinoid reaction. The species have a characteristic garlic smell. DNA studies showed that the group is phylogenetically allied more to genus ''Gymnopus'' than to ''Marasmius'', but the distinct structure of the cap skin is thought to justify a separation at the genus level. Franklin Sumner Earle had already defined the genus name ''Mycetinis'' for this group in 1909, though it had not caught on, and in 2005 Wilson & Desjardin proposed to resurrect this name and redefine it for the current taxonomy. The new phylogenetic cl ...

Marasmius Amazonicus
''Marasmius amazonicus'' is a species of agaric fungus in the family Marasmiaceae. Described as new to science in 1904 by mycologist Paul Christoph Hennings Paul Christoph Hennings (November 27, 1841 – October 14, 1908) was a German mycologist and herbarium curator. He discovered the study of cryptogams and mushrooms as a volunteer at the botanical garden. Although circumstances initially prevente ..., it is found in South America.

Collybia
''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 ...

Rhizomarasmius
''Rhizomarasmius'' is a genus of fungi in the family Physalacriaceae, containing about five species. General The genus was created in 2000 by Ron Petersen, R. H. Petersen to accommodate two species then classified in Marasmius (''M. pyrrhocephalus'' and ''M. undatus''), but which do not belong there due to morphological grounds, including the nature of the Cystidium, cystidia and the way the mushrooms are rooted on a plant substrate. This analysis was backed up in 2006 by DNA comparisons done by Wilson and Desjardin. Unlike most ''Marasmius'' mushrooms, members of ''Rhizomarasmius'' grow on the rhizomes of ferns or flowering plants, and that is the signification of the genus name. Instead of the Marasmiaceae this genus is placed in the Physalacriaceae, a sister clade but a separate family. Species See also *List of Agaricales genera References
