Rhodocybe Mellea
''Rhodocybe'' is a genus of fungi in the family (biology), family Entolomataceae. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are agaricoid (gilled mushrooms) producing pink basidiospores that are unevenly roughened or pustular under the microscope. Species are saprotrophic and mostly grow on the ground, occasionally on wood. The genus is distributed worldwide. Taxonomy The genus was originally described in 1926 by French mycologist René Maire to accommodate agarics with pink spores that were roughened but not angular (as in the genus ''Entoloma''). In 2009, as a result of Molecular phylogenetics, molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences, CoDavid et al. found that ''Clitopilus'' species form a clade nested within ''Rhodocybe'' species and proposed that these genera should be merged so that the new combined genus (called ''Clitopilus'' since it is the earlier name) would be monophyletic (a natural group). Additional research, however, showed that the core groupings of ''Cl ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Rhodocybe Gemina
''Rhodocybe gemina'' is a species of fungus in the family (biology), family Entolomataceae. It has the recommended English name of tan pinkgill and produces agaric, agaricoid basidiocarps (fruit bodies) that are fleshy and cream when young, becoming brownish when mature. Taxonomy The species was originally named ''Hypophyllum geminum'' in 1793 by French mycologist Jean-Jacques Paulet and transferred to the genus ''Rhodocybe'' in 1987. Prior to this, the species was commonly known as ''Rhodocybe truncata'' (Schaeff.) Rolf Singer, Singer, based on ''Agaricus truncatus'' described by Jacob Christian Schäffer in 1774. No original specimen of Schäffer's species exists, however, and the original description is so ambiguous that it has also been referred to the genus ''Hebeloma'' (as ''Hebeloma truncatum'' (Schaeff.) P. Kumm.) by some authorities. ''Rhodocybe truncata'' is now considered a nomen dubium and is no longer in use. In 2009, as a result of Molecular phylogenetics, molecul ...
