Hydropus
''Hydropus'' is a genus of fungi in the family Marasmiaceae. The widespread genus contains about 100 species, especially in tropical areas, but is not well represented in temperate regions. About 15 taxa are found in Europe; '' H. floccipus'' has the widest distribution in western Europe. ''Hydropus'' was circumscribed by Rolf Singer in 1948. Species in the genus have fruit bodies with caps that are mycenoid, collybioid, or omphaloid in form. Most species occur in tropical and subtropical regions, where they grow as saprobes on rotting wood, forest litter, and mosses. Generally, most ''Hydropus'' species are rare, and several are known only from the type collection, including '' H. conicus'', '' H. moserianus'', '' H. nitens'', and '' H. paradoxus''.

Hydropus Moserianus
''Hydropus moserianus'' is a species of agaric fungus in the family Marasmiaceae. Found in the Netherlands, it was described as new to science in 1983 by Dutch mycologist Cornelis Bas. The specific epithet honours Austrian mycologist Meinhard Michael Moser. Fruit bodies of the fungus have reddish-brown to dark greyish-brown caps measuring . The gills are distantly spaced, numbering 12 to 16, and have a decurrent attachment to the stipe. Its spores are amyloid, and measure 8.2–11.1 by 4.2–5.7 μm The micrometre ( international spelling as used by the International Bureau of Weights and Measures; SI symbol: μm) or micrometer (American spelling), also commonly known as a micron, is a unit of length in the International System of Unit ....

Marasmiaceae
The Marasmiaceae are a family of basidiomycete fungi which have white spores. They mostly have tough stems and the capability of shrivelling up during a dry period and later recovering. The widely consumed edible fungus '' Lentinula edodes'', the shiitake mushroom, is a member of this family. According to a 2008 estimate, the family contains 54 genera and 1590 species. The family Omphalotaceae, described by A. Bresinsky in 1985 as a segregate from the Tricholomataceae, has been considered synonymous with Marasmiaceae. However DNA analyses by Moncalvo et al. in 2002 and Matheny et al. in 2006 have now led to that family being accepted by Index Fungorum and most recent references. The following genera are included in that family : '' Anthracophyllum'', '' Gymnopus'', '' Lentinula'', ''Marasmiellus'', ''Mycetinis'', ''Rhodocollybia'', '' Omphalotus''.

Rolf Singer
Rolf Singer (June 23, 1906 – January 18, 1994) was a German-born mycologist and one of the most important taxonomists of gilled mushrooms (agarics) in the 20th century. 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 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, this time to Leningrad, where he was Senior Scientific Expert at the Botanical Garden of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR. During his time at the Academy, Singer made many expeditions to Siberia, the Altai Mountains, and Karelia. In 1941, Sin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
