Russulales
The Russulales are an order of the Agaricomycetes, (which include the agaric genera '' Russula'' and ''Lactarius'' and their polyporoid and corticioid relatives). According to the ''Dictionary of the Fungi'' (10th edition, 2008), the order consists of 12 families, 80 genera, and 1767 species. According to ''Species Fungorum'' (January 2016), the order contains 13 families, 117 genera (16 not assigned to a family), and 3,060 species. Russuloid agarics represent an independent evolutionary line of agarics, not directly related to the Agaricales. This group also includes a number of russuloid hypogeous fungi, polypores such as '' Bondarzewia'', some tooth fungi (e.g. '' Auriscalpium vulgare''), and club fungi e.g. '' Artomyces''. Basidiospores in this group are typically ornamented with amyloid warts or reticulation but a few exceptions are known, e.g. '' Heterobasidion annosum''. The genus '' Clavicorona'' was often treated in the Russulales, but its type species, '' C. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Russulaceae
The Russulaceae are a diverse family (biology), family of fungi in the order Russulales, with roughly 1,900 known species and a worldwide distribution. They comprise the Russula, brittlegills and the milk-caps, well-known mushroom-forming fungi that include some Edible fungi, edible species. These Lamella (mycology), gilled mushrooms are characterised by the brittle trama (mycology), flesh of their basidiocarp, fruitbodies. In addition to these typical agaricoid forms, the family contains species with fruitbodies that are laterally striped (Pleurotoid fungi, pleurotoid), closed (secotioid or Gasteroid fungi, gasteroid), or crust-like (Corticioid fungi, corticioid). Molecular phylogenetics has demonstrated close affinities between species with very different fruitbody types and has discovered new, distinct Lineage (evolution), lineages. An important group of root-symbiosis, symbiotic ectomycorrhizal fungi in forests and shrublands around the world includes ''Lactifluus'', ''Multi ...
