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 ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mycetinis Querceus
''Mycetinis querceus'' ( syn. ''Marasmius querceus'') is one of the garlic-scented mushrooms formerly in the genus ''Marasmius''. It has a reddish brown stipe, and usually grows on fallen oak leaves. Description The species can be described as follows: *The cap is reddish brown to pale brown, and is hygrophanous, drying to a paler colour. It measures around 1-2.5 cm in diameter. *The gills are white to cream and crowded. The spore powder is white. *The brownish stem can grow to 10 cm tall and up to 4 mm in diameter. It is powdery ("pruinose") or covered in minute hairs ("pubescent"), a feature which distinguishes it from ''M. scorodonius''. *The smell is strongly of garlic. *The spores are roughly ellipsoid and measure 7-10 μm x 4-5 μm. *There are no cheilocystidia (on the gill edge) or pleurocystidia (on the gill faces). Naming and related species The Latin species name, ''querceus'', means "relating to oak", and refers to its being found com ...

Mycetinis Scorodonius
''Mycetinis scorodonius'' ( syn. ''Marasmius scorodonius'') is one of the garlic-scented mushrooms formerly in the genus ''Marasmius'', having a beige cap of up to 3 cm and a tough slender stipe. Taxonomy This species was originally documented as ''Agaricus scorodonius'' by Fries in 1815 and in 1836 the same author established its long-standing designation ''Marasmius scorodonius''. However following a 2005 paper it was decided to separate a group of garlic-smelling species, including this one, off into genus ''Mycetinis''. ''Mycetinis virgultorum'' is (according to Species Fungorum) a closely related species, or (according to Antonín and Noordeloos) a variety within the same species. In the latter classification, the two forms are called ''M. scorodonius'' var. ''scorodonius'' and ''M. scorodonius'' var. ''virgultorum''. The ''virgultorum'' form has smaller fruiting bodies, a scaly dull stem, and smaller spores. An infra-species-level taxon, ''Marasmius scor ...

Mycetinis Kallioneus
''Mycetinis kallioneus'' ( syn. ''Marasmius kallioneus'') is a mushroom formerly in the genus ''Marasmius'', which grows with dwarf shrubs and flowering plants in an arctic environment where the ground is covered by snow for much of the year. Description The species can be described as follows: *The cap is dark brown when moist and is hygrophanous. It measures up to around 2 cm in diameter. *The gills are white, thick and distant. The spore powder is white. *The pruinose (powdery) stem can grow to about 4 cm tall and up to 2 mm in diameter. *The smell is strongly of onions or garlic (without any foetid element). *The spores are roughly ellipsoid or almond-shaped and measure about 10-12 μm x 7-8 μm. There are occasional cheilocystidia and pleurocystidia which may be narrowly bottle-shaped or cylindrical, about 30-40 μm × 3-10 μm. The basidia are 2-spored (or occasionally with only a single spore). Naming and related species This spe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
