Gomphidius
''Gomphidius'' is a genus of mushrooms, commonly known as spike-caps, that are members of the Boletales (suborder (biology), suborder Suillineae), or pored fungi. They appear to have gill-like structures which resemble those of Agaricales, agarics, however the similarity is superficial only. The best-known member is the slimy spike-cap (''Gomphidius glutinosus''). The genus has a widespread distribution, especially in north temperate areas, and contains 10 species. Taxonomy Elias Magnus Fries initially described the genus as ''Agaricus'' subgenus ''Gomphus'' in 1821, before renaming it ''Gomphidius'' in 1825. The genus gives its name to the family Gomphidiaceae. Despite being agaricoid (bearing gills) the genus (and family) belong to the Boletales (suborder (biology), suborder Suillineae). The related genus ''Chroogomphus'' (whose species were once classified in ''Gomphidius''), is distinguished by the lack of a partial veil. The genus name is derived from the Ancient Greek, Gr ...

Gomphidius Glutinosus
''Gomphidius glutinosus'', commonly known as the slimy spike-cap, hideous gomphidius, or glutinous gomphidius is a gilled mushroom found in Europe & North America. Although it has gills, it is a member of the order Boletales, along with the boletes. The fruiting bodies sprout in pine, fir and spruce woodland in Europe in autumn. Initially, are completely covered with a slimy veil, breaking through to reveal a greyish or brownish-capped mushroom with decurrent greyish gills which sometimes resembles a child's top. Opinions differ on the suitability of this mushroom for the table, some guides hold it in high regard, while others view it with caution. Taxonomy ''Gomphidius glutinosus'' was initially described by German mycologist Jacob Christian Schäffer as ''Agaricus glutinosus'' in 1774, in his series on fungi of Bavaria and the Palatinate, ''Fungorum qui in Bavaria et Palatinatu circa Ratisbonam nascuntur icones.'' The father of mycology Elias Magnus Fries gave it its curre ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gomphidius Maculatus
''Gomphidius maculatus'' is an edible mushroom in the family Gomphidiaceae that is widely distributed in Europe and North America, where it forms mycorrhizal associations with larch trees. It is an introduced species in New Zealand. Taxonomy It was first described scientifically by naturalist Giovanni Antonio Scopoli in 1772. Elias Magnus Fries transferred it to the genus ''Gomphidius'' in 1838, giving it the name by which it is known today. The specific epithet ''maculatus'' is derived from the Latin word for "spotted". The type locality was Carniola, a historical region that now comprises parts of present-day Slovenia. Description The cap (cap) of ''Gomphidius maculatus'' measures 2–9 cm in diameter and is initially convex, becoming plano-convex or flattened with maturity. Sometimes it may develop a slight umbo (central raised area). The cap surface is glutinous (sticky and slimy) in damp conditions and glabrous (smooth). Its colouration ranges from pinkish fawn ...

Gomphidius Oregonensis
''Gomphidius oregonensis'', commonly known as insidious gomphidius'','' is a species of fungus. With age, the fruiting body becomes murky and "insidious" in appearance, hence its common name. ''G. oregonensis'' can be distinguished by its spores which are the shortest in its genus, typically less than 14 μm long. Earlier in its growth, it can be difficult to distinguish from other members of its genus, such as ''G. glutinosus'''','' the most common and widespread species. ''G. oregonensis'' is found only in western North America, most commonly on the Pacific Coast. It is edible. Taxonomy ''Gomphidius oregonensis'' was first described in 1897 by botanist Charles Horton Peck. The genus name is derived from the Greek , ', meaning "nail-bolt" and relates to the shape of the mushroom. ''Oregonensis'' pertains to the area in which the species was first observed. Orson K. Miller made it the type species of the section ''Microsorus'' in the genus ''Gomphidius''. ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gomphidiaceae
The Gomphidiaceae are a family of mushroom-forming fungi in the order Boletales. Unlike other boletes, all members of Gomphidiaceae (except for ''Gomphogaster'') are agarics, having gills instead of pores. Member genera include '' Chroogomphus'', '' Cystogomphus'', ''Gomphidius'' and '' Gomphogaster'', the last being a monotypic genus (i.e. with a single species) that may be incorporated into Gomphidius in the future after molecular assessment. The similarly named genus '' Gomphus'' is unrelated to this family. Another genus ''Brauniellula'' has since been sunk into ''Chroogomphus''. Like all agarics, this group was formerly classified in Agaricales. Nonetheless, many of the microscopic features of these fungi, such as spore shape, strongly suggested an affinity with Boletales. This was later confirmed through molecular phylogenetic investigation, which demonstrated that Gomphidiaceae are more closely related to boletes than the "true" agarics of the Agaricales and that the devel ...

Chroogomphus
''Chroogomphus'' is a genus of mushrooms commonly known as pine-spikes or spike-caps based on their shape and because they are often found growing in association with pine trees. The genus is distributed throughout the Northern Hemisphere including North America and Eurasia. Taxonomy These fungi are members of the family Gomphidiaceae which are agaricoid members of the Boletales (suborder (biology), suborder Suillineae). Related to the genus ''Gomphidius'' (in which they were once classified), ''Chroogomphus'' are distinguished from ''Gomphidius'' by their lack of a partial veil. ''Chroogomphus rutilus'', found in Europe, is the type species. Accepted species of ''Chroogomphus'' include: Etymology The genus name is derived from the Ancient Greek, Greek (), meaning "skin" or "colour", and () meaning "plug" or "large wedge-shaped nail". Description The cap of ''C. rutilus'' is up to in diameter and red-brown in colour. The widely spaced gills are brownish-orange and Wikt ...
