Leucocoprinus Dunensis

	Leucocoprinus Dunensis ''Leucocoprinus dunensis'' is a species of mushroom-producing fungus in the family Agaricaceae. Taxonomy It was described in 2023 by the mycologists Salomé Urrea‑Valencia, Rodolfo Bizarria Júnior, Pepijn W. Kooij, Quimi Vidaurre Montoya and Andre Rodrigues who conducted a study on fungal species cultivated by lower attine ants which described the new species ''Leucocoprinus dunensis'' and '' L. attinorum''. Description ''Leucocoprinus dunensis'' is a fungus cultivated by '' Mycetophylax morschi'' ants. Cap: 3.5-4cm wide, starting campanulate before expanding to applanate with age. The surface is covered with small light brown scales towards the margin with a solid brown centre disc. The margins are sometimes striated. Gills: Free with a collar, crowded and whitish with a fimbriate edge. Stem: 3-7cm long and 2-5mm thick without a significantly bulbous base. The surface is brownish orange and covered in fine fibrils. The ascendant stem ring is white and is located t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
picture info	Mushroom A mushroom or toadstool is the fleshy, spore-bearing Sporocarp (fungi), fruiting body of a fungus, typically produced above ground on soil or another food source. ''Toadstool'' generally refers to a poisonous mushroom. The standard for the name "mushroom" is the cultivated white button mushroom, ''Agaricus bisporus''; hence, the word "mushroom" is most often applied to those fungi (Basidiomycota, Agaricomycetes) that have a stem (Stipe (mycology), stipe), a cap (Pileus (mycology), pileus), and gills (lamellae, sing. Lamella (mycology), lamella) on the underside of the cap. "Mushroom" also describes a variety of other gilled fungi, with or without stems; therefore the term is used to describe the fleshy fruiting bodies of some Ascomycota. The gills produce microscopic Spore#Fungi, spores which help the fungus spread across the ground or its occupant surface. Forms deviating from the standard Morphology (biology), morphology usually have more specific names, such as "bolete", " ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
picture info	Fungus A fungus (: fungi , , , or ; or funguses) is any member of the group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and mold (fungus), molds, as well as the more familiar mushrooms. These organisms are classified as one of the kingdom (biology)#Six kingdoms (1998), traditional eukaryotic kingdoms, along with Animalia, Plantae, and either Protista or 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 group of related o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Agaricaceae The Agaricaceae are a family of basidiomycete fungi and include the genus ''Agaricus'', as well as basidiomycetes previously classified in the families Tulostomataceae, Lepiotaceae, and Lycoperdaceae. Taxonomy The family Agaricaceae was published by French botanist François Fulgis Chevallier in 1826. It is named after the type genus ''Agaricus'', originally circumscribed by Carl Linnaeus in his 1753 work ''Species Plantarum''. In his authoritative 1986 classification of the Agaricales, Rolf Singer divided the Agaricaceae into four tribes distinguished largely by spore color: ''Leucocoprineae'', ''Agariceae'', ''Lepioteae'', and ''Cystodermateae''. Genera once classified in the families Tulostomataceae, Battarreaceae, Lycoperdaceae, and Mycenastraceae have since been moved to the Agaricaceae based on molecular phylogenetics studies. According to a standard reference text, the Agaricaceae contains 85 genera and 1340 species. Description Agaricaceae species use a wide variety of ...

	Species Description A species description is a formal scientific description of a newly encountered species, typically articulated through a scientific publication. Its purpose is to provide a clear description of a new species of organism and explain how it differs from species that have been previously described or related species. For a species to be considered valid, a species description must follow established guidelines and naming conventions dictated by relevant nomenclature codes. These include the International Code of Zoological Nomenclature (ICZN) for animals, the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICN) for plants, and the International Committee on Taxonomy of Viruses (ICTV) for viruses. A species description often includes photographs or other illustrations of type material and information regarding where this material is deposited. The publication in which the species is described gives the new species a formal scientific name. Some 1.9 million ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
	Leucocoprinus Attinorum ''Leucocoprinus attinorum'' is a species of mushroom-producing fungus in the family Agaricaceae. Taxonomy It was described in 2023 by the mycologists Salomé Urrea‑Valencia, Rodolfo Bizarria Júnior, Pepijn W. Kooij, Quimi Vidaurre Montoya and Andre Rodrigues who conducted a study on fungal species cultivated by lower attine ants which described the new species ''Leucocoprinus attinorum'' and '' L. dunensis''. Description ''Leucocoprinus attinorum'' is a fungus cultivated by '' Mycocepurus goeldii'' ants. Cap: 3-4cm wide, starting campanulate before expanding to applanate with age. The surface is coated in small brown scales with a darker brown centre disc. Gills: Free with a collar, crowded and whitish. Stem: 2.5-8cm long and 4-8mm thick with a slightly bulbous base but otherwise generally consistent thickness across the length and solid inner flesh. The surface light brown and is coated in fine fibrils but turns dark brown when bruised or touched. The movable stem ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]
