Entoloma Quadratum
''Entoloma quadratum'' is a species of agaric fungus in the family Entolomataceae. The fungus was originally described as ''Agaricus quadratus'' by Miles Joseph Berkeley and Moses Ashley Curtis in 1859; Egon Horak transferred it to ''Entoloma'' in 1976. The mushroom is mostly orange. The cap grows up to wide and the stem reaches long. The spore print is pinkish-brown. It can resemble '' E. luteum'', '' E. murrayi'', and ''Hygrocybe conica ''Hygrocybe conica'' is a species of agaric (gilled mushroom) in the family Hygrophoraceae. In the UK it has been given the recommended English name of blackening waxcap, since all parts of the basidiocarp (fruit body) blacken with age. In North ...''. It is found in Africa, Asia, Europe, and North America, under conifers and in moist soil.

Entoloma Luteum
''Entoloma luteum'' is a mushroom in the family Entolomataceae. It was described in 1902 by mycologist Charles Horton Peck. Found in North America, it fruits singly or in clusters on the ground in mixed forest. Its angular spores are non-amyloid, hyaline (translucent), and measure 9–13 by 8–12 μm.

Taxa Named By Miles Joseph Berkeley
In biology, a taxon (back-formation from ''taxonomy''; plural taxa) is a group of one or more populations of an organism or organisms seen by taxonomists to form a unit. Although neither is required, a taxon is usually known by a particular name and given a particular ranking, especially if and when it is accepted or becomes established. It is very common, however, for taxonomists to remain at odds over what belongs to a taxon and the criteria used for inclusion. If a taxon is given a formal scientific name, its use is then governed by one of the nomenclature codes specifying which scientific name is correct for a particular grouping. Initial attempts at classifying and ordering organisms (plants and animals) were set forth in Carl Linnaeus's system in ''Systema Naturae'', 10th edition (1758), as well as an unpublished work by Bernard and Antoine Laurent de Jussieu. The idea of a unit-based system of biological classification was first made widely available in 1805 in the int ...

Fungi Of North America
A fungus ( : fungi or funguses) is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and molds, as well as the more familiar mushrooms. These organisms are classified as a kingdom, separately from the other eukaryotic kingdoms, which by one traditional classification include Plantae, Animalia, Protozoa, and Chromista. A characteristic that places fungi in a different kingdom from plants, bacteria, and some protists is chitin in their cell walls. Fungi, like animals, are heterotrophs; they acquire their food by absorbing dissolved molecules, typically by secreting digestive enzymes into their environment. Fungi do not photosynthesize. Growth is their means of mobility, except for spores (a few of which are flagellated), which may travel through the air or water. Fungi are the principal decomposers in ecological systems. These and other differences place fungi in a single group of related organisms, named the ''Eumycota'' (''tr ...

Hygrocybe Conica
''Hygrocybe conica'' is a species of agaric (gilled mushroom) in the family Hygrophoraceae. In the UK it has been given the recommended English name of blackening waxcap, since all parts of the basidiocarp (fruit body) blacken with age. In North America it is commonly known as the witch's hat, conical wax cap or conical slimy cap. ''Hygrocybe conica'' is known to be a complex of at least eleven closely related species and as such is widespread in Europe, North America, Asia, and elsewhere. Taxonomy The species was first described from Bavaria in 1774 by German polymath Jacob Christian Schäffer, who named it ''Agaricus conicus''. Paul Kummer transferred it to the genus ''Hygrocybe'' in 1871. Recent molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences, has confirmed that ''Hygrocybe conica'' belongs in ''Hygrocybe'' sensu stricto. However, it has also indicated that the name is currently applied to at least eleven closely related but genetically distinct taxa worldwid ...

Entoloma Murrayi
''Entoloma murrayi'', commonly known as the yellow unicorn Entoloma or the unicorn pinkgill, is a species of fungus in the Entolomataceae family. First described from New England (USA) in 1859, the species is found in eastern North America, Central and South America, and southeast Asia, where it grows on the ground in wet coniferous and deciduous forests. The fungus produces yellow mushrooms that have a characteristic sharp umbo on the top of a conical cap. The mushroom is inedible and may be poisonous. Other similar species can be distinguished from ''E. murrayi'' by differences in color, morphology, or microscopic characteristics. Taxonomy The species was originally described by Miles Berkeley and Moses Ashley Curtis in 1859 as ''Agaricus murrayi'', based on collections made in New England. Berkeley and Curtis called it "An extremely pretty species". Pier Andrea Saccardo transferred the species to ''Entoloma'' in 1899. Synonyms include combinations resulting from ge ...

Knopf
Alfred A. Knopf, Inc. () is an American publishing house that was founded by Alfred A. Knopf Sr. and Blanche Knopf in 1915.

It was acquired by Random House in 1960, and is now part of the Knopf Doubleday Publishing Group division of Penguin Random House which is owned by the German conglomerate Bertelsmann. The Knopf publishing house is associated with its borzoi colophon, which was designed by co-founder Blanche Knopf in 1925. History Early years 1915–1920 Knopf was founded in 1915 by Alfred A. Knopf Sr. along with Blanche Knopf, on a $5,000 advance from his father, Samuel Knopf. The first office was located in New York's Candler Building. The publishing house was officially incorporated in 1918, with Alfred Knopf as president, Blanche Knopf as vice president, and Samuel Knopf as treasurer. From t ...
