Pleurocybella Porrigens
''Pleurocybella porrigens'', also known as the angel wing, is a species of fungus in the family Phyllotopsidaceae. It medium-sized fruit bodies are whitish and fan-shaped. It is a wood-decay fungus on conifer wood and is widespread in temperate forests of the Northern Hemisphere. It is suspected of being potentially deadly poisonous. Taxonomy Synonyms for the species include ''Pleurotus porrigens'', ''Phyllotus porrigens'', ''Dendrosarcus porrigens'', ''Pleurotellus porrigens'', and '' Nothopanus porrigens''. Description The mushroom species is distinguished by its fruit bodies, pure white when young and sometimes yellowing with age. The cap is about wide, shaped like a petal or a fan. The stipe is either very short or completely absent, and the flesh has a faint but pleasant smell. The gills are crowded, and decurrent if a stipe is present. The flesh is thin and fragile compared to the oyster mushrooms (''Pleurotus'' ssp.). The spore print is white. Distribution and h ...

Pleurocybella Ohiae
''Pleurocybella ohiae'' is a species of agaric fungus in the family Phyllotopsidaceae. Newly described to science in 2011, it is known only from Hawaiian montane wet forests. Taxonomy The species was first described scientifically by Dennis Desjardin and Don Hemmes in 2011 in ''Mycologia''. They considered the fruit body morphology similar to those produced by species in the genera '' Campanella'' and '' Cheimonophyllum'', but used microscopic morphology for placement in ''Pleurocybella''. The specific epithet ohiae refers to the Hawaiian name of the tree, ʻōhiʻa, upon which the fungus grows. Description The fruit bodies of ''Pleurocybella ohiae'' are small, white, and lack a stem. The caps are in diameter, and have a smooth, dull surface with a silky or felt-like texture. Fruit bodies attach to the substrate by a cleft. The broad gills originate from the base of the cleft, and are distantly spaced, with two sets of interspersed lamellulae (shorter gills that do not extend ...

Phyllotopsidaceae
The Phyllotopsidaceae are a family of fungi in the order Agaricales. Basidiocarps are either clavarioid ('' Macrotyphula''), agaricoid ('' Tricholomopsis''), or cyphelloid. Marcel Locquin originally established the family on the basis of shared morphological characteristics, but did not validly publish it. The name was later validated by Olariaga and the family was expanded to contain other genera as a result of molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences. See also *List of Agaricales families The Agaricales are an order (biology), order of fungus, fungi in the class Agaricomycetes (division Basidiomycota). It is the largest group of mushroom-forming fungi, and includes more than 600 genus, genera and over 25,000 species. Molecular, Mol ... References Agaricales families Agaricales {{Agaricales-stub ...

Rolf Singer
Rolf Singer (June 23, 1906 – January 18, 1994) was a German mycologist and Taxonomy (biology), taxonomist of gilled mushrooms (agarics). He wrote the book "The Agaricales in Modern Taxonomy (biology), Taxonomy". He fled to various countries during the Nazism, Nazi period, pursuing mycology in the Soviet Union, Argentina, and finally the United States, as mycologist at the Field Museum in Chicago. Career 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 Germany, 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, t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Christian Hendrik Persoon
Christiaan Hendrik Persoon (31 December 1761 – 16 November 1836) was a Cape Colony mycologist who is recognized as one of the founders of mycology, mycological Taxonomy (biology), taxonomy. Early life Persoon was born in Cape Colony at the Cape of Good Hope, the third child of an immigrant Pomeranian father, Christiaan Daniel Persoon, and Netherlands, Dutch mother, Wilhelmina Elizabeth Groenwald. His mother died soon after he was born. In 1775, at the age of thirteen, he was sent to Europe for his education. His father died a year later in 1776. Education Initially a student of theology at University of Halle-Wittenberg, Halle, Persoon switched his studies to medicine, which he pursued in Leiden and then Göttingen. He received a doctorate from the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina, Deutsche Akademie der Naturforscher in Erlangen 1799. Later years He moved to Paris by 1803, where he spent the rest of his life, renting the upper floor of a house in a poor ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Genus
Genus (; : genera ) is a taxonomic rank above species and below family (taxonomy), family as used in the biological classification of extant taxon, living and fossil organisms as well as Virus classification#ICTV classification, viruses. In binomial nomenclature, the genus name forms the first part of the binomial species name for each species within the genus. :E.g. ''Panthera leo'' (lion) and ''Panthera onca'' (jaguar) are two species within the genus ''Panthera''. ''Panthera'' is a genus within the family Felidae. The composition of a genus is determined by taxonomy (biology), taxonomists. The standards for genus classification are not strictly codified, so different authorities often produce different classifications for genera. There are some general practices used, however, including the idea that a newly defined genus should fulfill these three criteria to be descriptively useful: # monophyly – all descendants of an ancestral taxon are grouped together (i.e. Phylogeneti ...

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] |
Agaricales
The Agaricales are an order (biology), order of fungi in the division (mycology), division Basidiomycota. As originally conceived, the order contained all the agarics (gilled mushrooms), but subsequent research has shown that not all agarics are closely related and some belong in other orders, such as the Russulales and Boletales. Conversely, DNA research has also shown that many non-agarics, including some of the clavarioid fungi (clubs and corals) and gasteroid fungi (puffballs and false truffles) belong within the Agaricales. The order has 46 Extant taxon, extant family (biology), families, more than 400 genus, genera, and over 25,000 described species, along with six extinct genera known only from the fossil record. Species in the Agaricales range from the familiar ''Agaricus bisporus'' (cultivated mushroom) and the deadly ''Amanita virosa'' (destroying angel) to the coral-like ''Clavaria zollingeri'' (violet coral) and bracket-like ''Fistulina hepatica'' (beefsteak fungus).
