Polyporus
''Polyporus'' is a genus of poroid fungi in the family Polyporaceae. Taxonomy Italian botanist Pier Antonio Micheli introduced the genus in 1729 to include 14 species featuring fruit bodies with centrally-placed stipes, and pores on the underside of the cap. The generic name combines the Ancient Greek words ("many") and ("pore"). Elias Fries divided ''Polyporus'' into three subgenera in his 1855 work ''Novae Symbol Mycologici'': ''Eupolyporus'', ''Fomes'', and ''Poria''. In a 1995 monograph, Maria Núñez and Leif Ryvarden grouped 32 ''Polyporus'' species into 6 morphologically-based infrageneric groups: ''Admirabilis'', ''Dendropolyporus'', '' Favolus'', ''Polyporellus'', ''Melanopus'', and ''Polyporus'' ''sensu stricto''. The identity of the type species of ''Polyporus'' has long been a matter of contention among mycologists. Some have preferred '' P. brumalis'', some '' P. squamosus'', while others have preferred '' P. tuberaster''. Selected species Th ...

Polyporus Squamosus
''Cerioporus squamosus'', synonym ''Polyporus squamosus'', is a basidiomycete bracket fungus, with common names including dryad's saddle and pheasant's back mushroom. It has a widespread distribution, being found in Australia, Eurasia, and North America, and it causes a white rot in the heartwood of living and dead hardwood trees. Taxonomy The species was first described scientifically by British botanist William Hudson in 1778, who named it ''Boletus squamosus''. It was given its current name in 1886 by Lucien Quélet but is still widely known by the Elias Magnus Fries name ''Polyporus squamosus''. Etymology ''Squamosus'' comes from the Latin ''squamosus'' meaning covered with scales or scaly, referring to the signature dark brown scales found on the mushroom's cap. The name "dryad's saddle" refers to creatures in Greek mythology called dryads who could conceivably sit and rest on this mushroom, whereas the ''pheasant's back'' analogy derives from the pattern of colors on ...

Polyporus Umbellatus
''Polyporus umbellatus'' is an edible species of mushroom. It is also called umbrella polypore. Description The fruit body is composed of numerous (sometimes several hundred) caps. They are across, deeply umbilicate, light brown, and form the extremities of a strong, many branched stalk. The compound fungus can be up to 40 cm in diameter. The pores are decurrent, narrow and whitish. The stalk is whitish grey, , and originates from a strong, underground, tuber-like nodule. The flesh is white and soft, hardening with age. The spore print is white. Similar species The caps of ''Grifola frondosa'' are less consistently sized and those of ''Armillaria tabescens'' have gills.

Polyporus Brumalis
''Lentinus brumalis'' is an inedible species of fungus in the family Polyporaceae. Its common name is the winter polypore. The epithet ''brumalis'' means "occurring in the winter", describing how this species tends to fruit during winter. It causes white rot on dead hardwood, and is distributed throughout the Northern Hemisphere in temperate and boreal zones. Taxonomy ''Lentinus brumalis'' was first described as ''Boletus brumalis'' in 1794 by Christiaan Hendrik Persoon in his work "Neuer Versuch einer systematischen Eintheilung der Schwämme" (New attempt at a systematic classification of fungi). It was transferred to the current genus, ''Lentinus'' in 2010 by Ivan V. Zmitrovich. Description Macroscopic characteristics ''Lentinus brumalis'' has a round, broadly convex cap that has a diameter of and is thick. It is depressed in the middle and somewhat zoned. The surface of the cap is dry, though rarely hairy. It ranges from yellow-brown to dark brown in colour. The margin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Polyporus Tuberaster
''Polyporus tuberaster'', commonly known as the tuberous polypore or stone fungus'','' is a species of fungus in the genus '' Polyporus''. It is easily identified by the fact that it grows from a large sclerotium that can resemble buried wood or a potato. The yellow-brown cap is wide and ranges from convex to flat and even funnel-shaped. The whitish stalks can grow upwards of 10 cm high and 2–4 cm wide. The spores and spore print are white. The species is edible An edible item is any item that is safe for humans to eat. "Edible" is differentiated from " eatable" because it does not indicate how an item tastes, only whether it is fit to be eaten.

Polyporaceae
The Polyporaceae () are a family (biology), family of polypore, poroid fungi belonging to the Basidiomycota. The trama (mycology), flesh of their basidiocarp, fruit bodies varies from soft (as in the case of the dryad's saddle illustrated) to very tough. Most members of this family have their hymenium (fertile layer) in vertical pores on the underside of the caps, but some of them have gills (e.g. ''Panus'') or gill-like structures (such as ''Daedaleopsis'', whose elongated pores form a corky labyrinth). Many species are bracket fungi, brackets, but others have a definite stipe (mycology), stipe – for example, ''Polyporus badius''. Most of these fungi have white spore print, spore powder but members of the genus ''Abundisporus'' have colored spores and produce yellowish spore prints. Cystidia are absent. Taxonomy In his 1838 work ''Epicrisis Systematis Mycologici seu Synopsis Hymenomycetum'', Elias Magnus Fries introduced the "Polyporei". August Carl Joseph Corda, August Co ...

Polyporus Minutosquamosus
''Polyporus minutosquamosus'' is a species of poroid fungus in the family Polyporaceae. Discovered in a tropical rainforest in Kaw, French Guiana, it was described as new to science in 2016 by mycologists Kadri Runnel and Leif Ryvarden. The fungus is characterized by a lateral stipe and fan-shaped caps with numerous small black scales. Phylogenetic analysis shows that although it is nested within the ''Polyporus'' sensu lato clade In biology, a clade (), also known as a Monophyly, monophyletic group or natural group, is a group of organisms that is composed of a common ancestor and all of its descendants. Clades are the fundamental unit of cladistics, a modern approach t ..., it does not group with any of the subclades that have been previously identified in this genus.

''Polyporus radicatus'' is a species of fungus in the family Polyporaceae. It was described as new to science by German-American botanist Lewis David de Schweinitz in 1832. It is found in North America, including Mexico. It grows on the ground, probably from buried roots or originating from sclerotia. Its spores are more or less ellipsoid to spindle shaped, measuring 12–15 by 6–8 μm The micrometre (Commonwealth English as used by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures; SI symbol: μm) or micrometer (American English), also commonly known by the non-SI term micron, is a unit of length in the International System ....

Favolus
''Favolus'', or honeycomb fungus, is a genus of fungi in the family Polyporaceae. The fruit bodies of ''Favolus'' species are fleshy with radially arranged pores on the underside of the cap that are angular and deeply pitted, somewhat resembling a honeycomb. Taxonomy The naturalist Palisot de Beauvois was the first to use the name ''Favolus'' in his 1805 work ''Flore d'Oware et de Benin, en Afrique''. His type species was ''Favolus hirtus'', a fungus first collected in Africa. Elias Fries used the name as a subgenus of ''Polyporus'' in 1821. Seven years later, Fries used the name ''Favolus'' for a different genus, with the tropical species ''F. brasiliensis'' as the type. Fries's concept of the genus was later accepted as it was published in one of the sanctioning works of mycology. ''Favolus hirtus'' is now called '' Trametes hirta'', and Beauvois' concept of ''Favolus'' is placed in synonymy with ''Trametes''. The generic name ''Favolus'' is derived from the Latin ''favu ...
