Omphalotaceae
The Omphalotaceae are a family (biology), family of fungi in the order (biology), order Agaricales. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are most frequently agarics (gilled mushrooms), but occasionally corticioid (in the genus ''Brunneocorticium'') or poroid (in the genus ''Hymenoporus''). Taxonomy The family was originally described in 1985 by German mycologist Andreas Bresinsky to accommodate the genus ''Omphalotus'' (including ''Lampteromyces'') based on anatomical and morphological characters which he considered distinctive. He placed the family within the Boletales. Subsequent Molecular phylogenetics, molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences, indicated, however, that ''Omphalotus'' belonged within the Agaricales. Moreover, the genus formed a monophyletic clade with a much larger group of fungi, many of which were formerly placed in the Marasmiaceae. The earliest name for this clade is the Omphalotaceae.

Marasmiellus
''Marasmiellus'' is a genus of fungi in the family (biology), family Omphalotaceae. The widespread genus, circumscription (taxonomy), circumscribed by American mycologist William Murrill in 1915, contains over 250 species. The name comes from the Greek (language), Greek ''marasmus'' meaning ''wasting''. Morphology and life cycle The morphology of ''Marasmiellus'' has received little attention compared to other genera of ''Marasmiaceae, Omphalotaceae'', mainly due to their uncolorful Pileus (mycology), pileus, small basidiocarps, and little variation in morphological characters. These factors complicate delimitations of species within this genus. Species of ''Marasmiellus'' have prostrate and diverticulate hyphae, which have no clear orientation. However, it has been observed that other hyphae can aggregate in fascicles and be radially oriented. Furthermore, Cystidium, cheilocystidia arise from horizontal hyphae and are frequently embedded in the hymenium, often being prostrate. S ...

Collybiopsis
''Collybiopsis'' is a resurrected genus of mushroom-forming fungi in the family (biology), family Omphalotaceae. Taxonomy ''Collybiopsis'' is a genus of fungi in the family Omphalotaceae, order Agaricales. It was established by Franklin Sumner Earle in 1909 with ''Agaricus ramealis'' as the type species. The genus encompasses a large clade of non-typical ''Gymnopus'' species and includes elements previously classified under ''Gymnopus'', ''Marasmius'', and ''Marasmiellus''. While some researchers have used the name ''Marasmiellus'' for this group, ''Collybiopsis'' has nomenclatural priority (biology), priority. The ''Collybiopsis ramealis'' complex has been shown to be genetically diverse. Molecular phylogenetics studies have led to the reclassification of numerous taxon, tax within this genus. As of 2024, several new species have been proposed within ''Collybiopsis''. Some mycologists argue that the genus ''Collybiopsis'' may not encompass all species currently classified under ' ...

Gymnopus
''Gymnopus'' is a genus of fungus in the family Omphalotaceae. The genus has a widespread, cosmopolitan distribution and contains about 300 species. History and classification The type species for ''Gymnopus'', '' Gymnopus fusipes,'' dates back to 1806 Pers.) Henri François Anne de Roussel">Roussel Many of the species now classified in the ''Gymnopus'' genera were once assigned to ''Collybia''. In 1997 it was suggested that the genus ''Collybia'' be split into three genera, one of them being Gymnopus. Description In general, ''Gymnopus'' Sporocarp (fungi), fruiting bodies are found in leaf and woody litter. Typically the fruiting bodies are relatively small and range from browns to white in color. Their Spore print, spore deposit is white. Most species of gymnopus act as decomposers (saprotrophic). With one known exception ( G. subnudus), the mating patterns of gymnopus all seem to be bifactorial, meaning that there is more than one locus responsible for regulating mat ...

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] |
Omphalotus
''Omphalotus'' is a genus of basidiomycete mushroom, in the family Omphalotaceae, formally circumscription (taxonomy), circumscribed by Victor Fayod in 1889. Members have the traditional pileus (mycology), cap and stipe (mycology), stem structure. They are saprobic, and fruit in clumps on the ground, adjacent to host trees. The best known and type species is the jack-o'-lantern mushroom ''(Omphalotus olearius)''. Species of ''Omphalotus'' have been mistaken for Cantharellus, chanterelles. All ''Omphalotus'' species are presumed poisonous mushroom, poisonous, causing gastrointestinal symptoms. Some ''Omphalotus'' species have bioluminescent properties. Taxonomy Victor Fayod originally erected the genus with ''Omphalotus olearius, Pleurotus olearius'' and ''Pleurotus eryngii, P. eryngii'' as its principal species in 1889, placing it in a ''tribus'' ("alliance") with the genera ''Pleurotus'' and ''Pleurotellus''.

Brunneocorticium
''Brunneocorticium'' is a genus of fungi which following DNA analysis has been placed in the family Omphalotaceae. The genus, described in 2007, contains two corticioid species and one species (''B. corynecarpon'') which does not seem to have any fruiting body. Whilst ''B. bisporum'' is a crust fungus, ''B. corynecarpon'' is known only from its sterile flat mycelial Mycelium (: mycelia) is a root-like structure of a fungus consisting of a mass of branching, thread-like hyphae. Its normal form is that of branched, slender, entangled, anastomosing, hyaline threads.

Rhodocollybia
''Rhodocollybia'' is a genus of Basidiomycete mushroom. Species in this genus, formerly classified as a subgenus in ''Collybia'', have fairly large caps (typically larger than broad), and have a pinkish-tinted spore print. Microscopically, they are characterized by having spores and basidia that are dextrinoid—staining deep reddish to reddish-brown with Melzer's reagent when tested for amyloidity. ''Rhodocollybia'' species are commonly found in temperate North America and Europe, and infrequently in Central and South America. Taxonomy The genus name ''Rhodocollybia'' was first used by Rolf Singer in 1939 to describe those species of ''Collybia'' with a pink spore deposit; in later works he considered the genera equivalent (synonymous) and called them ''Collybia''. In 1997, Antonín and Noordeloos studied various members of ''Collybia'' using phylogenetic analysis, and reorganized the genus, dividing species into either ''Collybia'', ''Gymnopus'', or ''Rhodocollybia''.

Mycologist
Mycology is the branch of biology concerned with the study of fungi, including their taxonomy, genetics, biochemical properties, and use by humans. Fungi can be a source of tinder, food, traditional medicine, as well as entheogens, poison, and infection. Yeasts are among the most heavily utilized members of the fungus kingdom, particularly in food manufacturing. Mycology branches into the field of phytopathology, the study of plant diseases. The two disciplines are closely related, because the vast majority of plant pathogens are fungi. A biologist specializing in mycology is called a mycologist. Overview The word ''mycology'' comes from the Ancient Greek: μύκης (''mukēs''), meaning "fungus" and the suffix (''-logia''), meaning "study." Pioneer mycologists included Elias Magnus Fries, Christiaan Hendrik Persoon, Heinrich Anton de Bary, Elizabeth Eaton Morse, and Lewis David de Schweinitz.
