Xylaria Acuminatilongissima
''Xylaria'' is a genus of ascomycetous fungi commonly found growing on dead wood. The name comes from the Greek ''xýlon'' meaning ''wood'' (see xylem). 'Outline of Fungi and fungus-like taxa' by Wijayawardene et al. lists up to (ca. 571) species (in 2020), and around 454 records are listed by Species Fungorum (including synonyms). Two of the common species of the genus are ''Xylaria hypoxylon'' and '' Xylaria polymorpha''. ''Xylaria hypoxylon'', known by the common names stag's horn and candle-snuff fungus, is the most conspicuous because of its erect, 3–7 cm tall, antler-like ascocarps (fruitbodies) which are black at the base (where the perithecia are embedded) but white and branched towards the top, where the fruiting bodies produce white conidia (asexual spores). '' Xylaria polymorpha'', dead man's fingers, often grows in finger-like clusters from the base of a tree or from wood just below ground level. This is a primary fungus utilized in the spalting of sugar m ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Xylaria Hypoxylon
''Xylaria hypoxylon'' is a species of bioluminescent fungus in the family Xylariaceae. It is known by a variety of common names, such as the candlestick fungus, the candlesnuff fungus, carbon antlers, or the stag's horn fungus. The ascocarp, fruit bodies, characterized by erect, elongated black branches with whitened tips, typically grow in clusters on decaying hardwood. The fungus can cause a root rot in Crataegus, hawthorn and gooseberry plants. Taxonomy ''Xylaria hypoxylon'' was first described by Carl Linnaeus in 1745, and then later mentioned by him in his ''Species Plantarum II''. The specific name (botany), specific epithet is derived from the Greek language, Greek words ''hypo'' meaning "below", and ''xylon'', meaning "wood". Genetic evidence has created the ''Xylaria hypoxylon'' complex. The complex was created when Taxonomy (biology), taxonomists and amateurs noticed large variation in appearance and spore shape within the main species and decided that the differences ...
