Volvariella
''Volvariella'' is a genus of fungi with deep salmon-pink gills and spore prints. Description The mushrooms lack a ring, and have an Amanita-like volva at the stem base. Some species of ''Amanita'' look similar, but ''Amanita'' has white spores and often have a ring. Since the gills of young ''Volvariella'' are white at first, they are more easily mistaken for ''Amanita''. The genus is estimated to contain about 50 species. Taxonomy Many sources list ''Volvariella'' as a member of the Pluteaceae family, but recent DNA studies have revealed that '' Pluteus'' and ''Volvariella'' evolved separately and have very different DNA. These studies show that ''Volvariella'' is very closely related to "schizophylloid" mushrooms like '' Schizophyllum commune''. Species Uses '' Volvariella volvacea'', well known as the "paddy straw mushroom", is cultured in rice straw in the Philippines and Southeast Asia. This species also favors wood chip piles. It is easy to confuse with ''Amanita ... [...More Info...]       [...Related Items...]     OR:     [Wikipedia]   [Google]   [Baidu]   |
