Gerronema Microcarpum
''Gerronema'' is a genus of over 50 fungi species that form agaric fruit bodies. They are of small to medium size, with a centrally depressed cap. They are similar to ''Omphalina'' species. A wood-decay fungus, ''Gerronema'' has a primarily tropical distribution, occurring in Europe and eastern North America. Taxonomy The genus was circumscribed by American mycologist Rolf Singer in 1951. Phylogeny ''Gerronema'' belongs to the informal 'hydropoid' clade, together with '' Hydropus'', '' Megacollybia'' and '' Clitocybula.'' In a phylogenetic study of ''Clitocybulas'', the hydropoid clade was found to contain 8 genera. In 2019, the hydropoid clade was moved to Porotheleaceae, removing ''Gerronema'' from Marasmiaceae. The same study also recognized ''Gerronema'' as polyphyletic on the basis of previous taxonomic studies and divided it into seven clades, designated as ''Gerronema'' 1 to ''Gerronema'' 7. Species , ''Index Fungorum'' lists 55 species in ''Gerronema'': and ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Rolf Singer
Rolf Singer (June 23, 1906 – January 18, 1994) was a German mycologist and Taxonomy (biology), taxonomist of gilled mushrooms (agarics). He wrote the book "The Agaricales in Modern Taxonomy (biology), Taxonomy". He fled to various countries during the Nazism, Nazi period, pursuing mycology in the Soviet Union, Argentina, and finally the United States, as mycologist at the Field Museum in Chicago. Career After receiving his Ph.D. at the University of Vienna in 1931 he worked in Munich. By 1933, however, Singer left Germany for Vienna due to the political deterioration in Germany. There he met his wife, Martha Singer. From Vienna, Singer and his wife went to Barcelona, Spain, where Singer was appointed assistant professor at the Autonomous University of Barcelona. Persecution by the Spanish authorities on behalf of the Germany, German government forced Singer to leave Spain for France in 1934. After a fellowship at the Museum d'Histoire Naturelle in Paris, Singer again moved, t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
