Johann Karl Wilhelm Illiger
Johann Karl Wilhelm Illiger (19 November 1775 – 10 May 1813) was a German entomologist and zoologist. Illiger was the son of a merchant in Braunschweig. He studied under the entomologist Johann Hellwig, and later worked on the zoological collections of Johann Centurius Hoffmannsegg. Illiger was professor and director of the "zoological museum" (which is the Natural History Museum of Berlin in the present day) from its formation in 1810 until his death. He was the author of ''Prodromus systematis mammalium et avium'' (1811), which was an overhaul of the Linnaean system. It was a major influence on the adoption of the concept of the family. He also edited the ''Magazin für Insektenkunde'', widely known as "Illiger's Magazine". In 1811 he introduced the taxonomic order Proboscidea for elephants, the American mastodon and the woolly mammoth. He also described the subspecies ''Odobenus rosmarus divergens'', commonly known as the Pacific walrus. Illiger's macaw (''Promolius m ...

Fungus Beetle
Cucujoidea is a superfamily of beetles. This group formerly included all of the families now included in the superfamily Coccinelloidea. They include some fungus beetles and a diversity of lineages of "bark beetles" unrelated to the "true" bark beetles (Scolytinae), which are weevils (superfamily Curculionoidea). Morphology The morphology of Cucujoidea is varied and there are no features uniting all members of the superfamily. Adults can be recognised by the procoxal cavities being internally open in most taxa, females having tarsal formula 5-5-5 and males 5-5-5 or 5-5-4 (rarely 4-4-4), females with tergite VIII concealed dorsally by tergite VII, and males with tergite X completely membraneous. Larvae have frontal arms usually lyriform, the mandible mesal surface usually with well-developed mola, a maxillary articulating area usually present, a hypopharyngeal sclerome usually present, and two pretarsal setae.

Tetratomidae
Tetratomidae is a small family of beetles sometimes called polypore fungus beetles. The family consists of several genera, most of which used to be in the family Melandryidae. Tetratomidae can be found worldwide. Their food consists of fruiting bodies of hymenomycete fungi. Genera These 12 genera belong to the family Tetratomidae: * '' Cyanopenthe'' * ''Eustrophopsis'' * ''Eustrophus'' * '' Hallomenus'' * ''Holostrophus'' * ''Mycetoma'' * ''Penthe'' * ''Pisenus'' * ''Pseudoholostrophus'' * ''Synstrophus'' * ''Tetratoma'' * '' Triphyllia'' Fossil genera *Subfamily Eustrophinae ** Tribe Eustrophini *** †'' Allostrophus'' (Cenomanian Burmese amber, Myanmar) *** †'' Thescelostrophus'' (Burmese amber) ** Tribe Holostrophini *** †'' Synchrotronia'' (Cenomanian Charentese amber, France) ** Tribe ''incertae sedis'' *** †'' Cretosynstrophus'' (Burmese amber) *Subfamily Hallomeninae ** †'' Pseudohallomenus'' (Santonian, Taimyr amber Taymyr or Taimyr may ...

Basidiocarp
In fungi, a basidiocarp, basidiome, or basidioma () is the sporocarp of a basidiomycete, the multicellular structure on which the spore-producing hymenium is borne. Basidiocarps are characteristic of the hymenomycetes; rusts and smuts do not produce such structures. As with other sporocarps, epigeous (above-ground) basidiocarps that are visible to the naked eye (especially those with a more or less agaricoid morphology) are commonly referred to as mushrooms, while hypogeous (underground) basidiocarps are usually called false truffles. Structure All basidiocarps serve as the structure on which the hymenium is produced. Basidia are found on the surface of the hymenium, and the basidia ultimately produce spores. In its simplest form, a basidiocarp consists of an undifferentiated fruiting structure with a hymenium on the surface; such a structure is characteristic of many simple jelly and club fungi. In more complex basidiocarps, there is differentiation into a stipe, a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Hapalopilus Rutilans
''Hapalopilus rutilans'' is a species of polypore fungus in the family Polyporaceae. Officially described in 1821, it was transferred to its current genus ''Hapalopilus'' six decades later. It is commonly known as the tender nesting polypore, purple dye polypore, or the cinnamon bracket. The species grows on the fallen or standing dead wood of deciduous trees, in which it fruits singly, in groups, fused, or in overlapping clusters. Fruit bodies are in the form of kidney-shaped to semicircular, cinnamon-orange-brown brackets. The underside of the fruit body features a yellowish to brownish pore surface with tiny angular pores, from which spores are released. When an alkaline solution is placed on the fungus, the flesh turns violet. The widely distributed species is found on five continents. The fruit bodies are neurotoxic if ingested, an effect attributable to the compound polyporic acid, which is present in high concentrations. The fungus is used in mushroom dyeing to produce p ...

Laetiporus Sulphureus
''Laetiporus sulphureus'' is a species of bracket fungus (fungi that grow on trees) found in Europe and North America. Its common names are crab-of-the-woods, sulphur polypore, sulphur shelf, and chicken-of-the-woods. Its fruit bodies grow as striking golden-yellow shelf-like structures on tree trunks and branches. Old fruitbodies fade to pale beige or pale grey. The undersurface of the fruit body is made up of tubelike pores rather than gills. ''Laetiporus sulphureus'' is a saprophyte and occasionally a weak parasite, causing brown cubical rot in the heartwood of trees on which it grows. Unlike many bracket fungi, it is edible when young, although adverse reactions have been reported. Taxonomy and phylogenetics ''Laetiporus sulphureus'' was first described as ''Boletus sulphureus'' by French mycologist Pierre Bulliard in 1789. It has had many synonyms and was finally given its current name in 1920 by American mycologist William Murrill. ''Laetiporus'' means "with bright po ...

Polyporus Squamosus
''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''. Several molecular ph ...

Postia Fragilis
''Postia'' is a genus of brown rot fungi in the family Fomitopsidaceae. Taxonomy ''Postia'' was circumscribed by mycologist Elias Magnus Fries in his 1874 work ''Hymenomycetes europaei''. The genus name honours Swedish naturalist Hampus von Post (1822–1911). Species A 2008 estimate placed 30 species in the genus. , Index Fungorum accepts 57 species of ''Postia'': In a 2018 revision of the ''Postia caesia'' complex, Otto Miettinen and colleagues proposed four new combinations, and described ten new species: *'' P. alni'' Niemelä & Vampola (2018) – Europe *'' P. arbuti'' Spirin (2018) – North America *'' P. auricoma'' Spirin & Niemelä (2018 – Eurasia *'' P. bifaria'' Spirin (2018) – East Asia *'' P. caesiosimulans'' (G.F.Atk.)

Tyromyces Chioneus
''Tyromyces chioneus'', commonly known as the white cheese polypore, is a species of polypore fungus. A widely distributed fungus, it has a circumpolar distribution, in temperate boreal pine forests, of Asia, Europe, and North America, causes white rot in dead hardwood trees, especially birch. Taxonomy The species was first described as ''Polyporus chioneus'' by Elias Fries in 1815. It was transferred to the genus ''Tyromyces'' by Petter Karsten in 1881. ''Tyromyces chioneus'' is the type species of ''Tyromyces''. The specific epithet ''chioneus'' means "snow", referring to its white color. It is commonly known as the "white cheese polypore". Description The fruit bodies are semicircular to fan-shaped brackets that measure up to broad by wide, with a thickness of . The upper surface is initially white before aging to yellowish or grayish, and has a texture ranging from smooth to tomentose. The undersurface features white to cream-colored, round to angular pores measuring 3– ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Fomes Fomentarius
''Fomes fomentarius'' (commonly known as the tinder fungus, false tinder fungus, hoof fungus, tinder conk, tinder polypore or ice man fungus) is a species of fungal plant pathogen found in Europe, Asia, Africa and North America. The species produces very large polypore fruit bodies which are shaped like a horse's hoof and vary in colour from a silvery grey to almost black, though they are normally brown. It grows on the side of various species of tree, which it infects through broken bark, causing rot. The species typically continues to live on trees long after they have died, changing from a parasite to a decomposer. Though inedible, ''F. fomentarius'' has traditionally seen use as the main ingredient of amadou, a material used primarily as tinder, but also used to make clothing and other items. The 5,000-year-old Ötzi the Iceman carried four pieces of ''F. fomentarius'', concluded to be for use as tinder. It also has medicinal and other uses. The species is both a ...
