Imperator Rhodopurpureus
''Imperator rhodopurpureus'' is an inedible fungus of the genus ''Imperator'', found under deciduous trees including oak and beech in neutral soils. Initially described as ''Boletus rhodopurpureus'', it was transferred to the new genus ''Imperator The Latin word ''imperator'' derives from the stem of the verb la, imperare, label=none, meaning 'to order, to command'. It was originally employed as a title roughly equivalent to ''commander'' under the Roman Republic. Later it became a part o ...'' in 2015. The bolete is considered critically endangered in the Czech Republic. Description The cap is cushion-like, up to 15 cm in diameter; faint yellow- or pink-buff when young, later flushing red from the rim and becoming blotched with yellow, red and olivaceous tones. The tubes are orange or red at first, then turning dark blue when cut. The spores are olive-brown. The stem is rather short, and sometimes very bulbous. The flesh is pale yellow, turning blue when cut. Simi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
František Smotlacha
František Smotlacha (born 30 January 1884 in Hradec Králové - died 18 June 1956 in Prague) was a Czech mycologist. He founded the Czechoslovak Mycological Society in 1921 together with Rudolf Veselý and the leading journal of Czech mycology: ''Mykologický sborník - Časopis Českých Houbařů'' (known as the C.C.H. among mycologists) in 1919. He was also president of the Czechoslovak Jiujitsu Union and founder of collegiate sport in Czechoslovakia. His son, Miroslav Smotlacha, also became a mycologist. Smotlacha described many species of fungi including * '' Boletus rhodopurpureus'' * ''Morchella pragensis ''Morchella pragensis'', commonly known as the Prague morel, is a species of ascomycete fungus in the family Morchellaceae.

Imperator (fungus)
''Imperator'' is a genus of fungi in the family Boletaceae. It was circumscribed in 2015 by Boris Assyov and colleagues. The erection of ''Imperator'' follows recent molecular studies that outlined a new phylogenetic framework for the Boletaceae. The type species is ''Imperator torosus ''Imperator torosus'', commonly known as the brawny bolete, is a species of bolete fungus in the family Boletaceae. It is native to southern Europe east to the Caucasus and Israel. It is generally associated with deciduous trees such as hornbea ...'', an "impressive and prestigious" species to which the generic name ''Imperator'' refers. Species The following species have been reclassified in the new genus. References External links * {{Taxonbar, from=Q20057454 Boletaceae Boletales genera ...

Beech
Beech (''Fagus'') is a genus of deciduous trees in the family Fagaceae, native to temperate Europe, Asia, and North America. Recent classifications recognize 10 to 13 species in two distinct subgenera, ''Engleriana'' and ''Fagus''. The ''Engleriana'' subgenus is found only in East Asia, distinctive for its low branches, often made up of several major trunks with yellowish bark. The better known ''Fagus'' subgenus beeches are high-branching with tall, stout trunks and smooth silver-grey bark. The European beech ('' Fagus sylvatica'') is the most commonly cultivated. Beeches are monoecious, bearing both male and female flowers on the same plant. The small flowers are unisexual, the female flowers borne in pairs, the male flowers wind-pollinating catkins. They are produced in spring shortly after the new leaves appear. The fruit of the beech tree, known as beechnuts or mast, is found in small burrs that drop from the tree in autumn. They are small, roughly triangular, and edib ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Rubroboletus Dupainii
''Rubroboletus dupainii'', commonly known as Dupain's bolete, is a bolete fungus of the genus ''Rubroboletus''. It is native to Europe, where it is threatened, and red listed in six countries. It also occurs in North America, although it is rare there. It was first recorded from North Carolina, and then from Iowa in 2009. It was reported from Belize in 2007, growing under ''Quercus peduncularis'' and other oaks. The bolete was first described scientifically by French mycologist Jean Louis Émile Boudier in 1902. It was transferred to the new genus ''Rubroboletus'' in 2014 along with several other allied reddish colored, blue-staining bolete species. Phylogenetically, ''R. dupainii'' is the sister species of ''Rubroboletus lupinus ''Rubroboletus lupinus'', commonly known as the wolf bolete, is a bolete fungus of the genus ''Rubroboletus''. Originally described by Elias Magnus Fries in 1838 as species of ''Boletus'', it was transferred to ''Rubroboletus'' in 2015, a g ...

Fungi Described In 1952
A fungus (plural, : fungi or funguses) is any member of the group of Eukaryote, eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and Mold (fungus), molds, as well as the more familiar mushrooms. These organisms are classified as a Kingdom (biology), 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 motility, 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 gro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
