Armillaria omnituens is a species of mushroom in the family Physalacriaceae. This species is found in Asia. [3]
Armillaria is a genus of fungi that includes the A. mellea species known as honey fungi that live on trees and woody shrubs. It includes about 10 species formerly categorized summarily as A. mellea. Armillarias are long-lived and form the largest living fungi in the world. The largest known organism covers more than 3.4 square miles (8.8 km2) in Oregon's Malheur National Forest and is estimated to be 2,500 years old. Some species of Armillaria display bioluminescence, resulting in foxfire.
Pier Andrea Saccardo was an Italian botanist and mycologist. He was also the author of a color classification system that he called Chromotaxia. He was elected to the Linnean Society in 1916 as a foreign member. His multi-volume Sylloge Fungorum was one of the first attempts to produce a comprehensive treatise on the fungi which made use of the spore-bearing structures for classification.
Rhizomorpha subcorticalis is a species name that has been used to characterize certain fungal plant pathogen observations where the pathogen is evident only through mycelial cords ("rhizomorphs"). The species in question very likely also produces reproductive structures which would allow it to be situated in the normal taxonomic tree, especially if DNA analysis is available. A name like R. subcorticalis should only be used where such identification is impossible.
Graphium rigidum is a species of fungus in the family Microascaceae. It is a plant pathogen. The fungus was originally described as new to science in 1794 by Christiaan Hendrik Persoon, as Stilbum rigidum. Pier Andrea Saccardo transferred it to the genus Graphium in 1886.
Alessandro Trotter ) was an Italian botanist and entomologist who pioneered in cecidology, the study of plant galls.
Neottiella is a genus of fungi in the family Pyronemataceae. It was circumscribed by Italian mycologist Pier Andrea Saccardo in 1889.
Armillaria gallica is a species of honey mushroom in the family Physalacriaceae of the order Agaricales. The species is a common and ecologically important wood-decay fungus that can live as a saprobe, or as an opportunistic parasite in weakened tree hosts to cause root or butt rot. It is found in temperate regions of Asia, North America, and Europe. The species forms fruit bodies singly or in groups in soil or rotting wood. The fungus has been inadvertently introduced to South Africa. Armillaria gallica has had a confusing taxonomy, due in part to historical difficulties encountered in distinguishing between similar Armillaria species. The fungus received international attention in the early 1990s when an individual colony living in a Michigan forest was reported to cover an area of 15 hectares, weigh at least 9.5 tonnes, and be 1,500 years old. This individual is popularly known as the "humongous fungus", and is a tourist attraction and inspiration for an annual mushroom-themed festival in Crystal Falls. Recent studies have revised the fungus's age to 2,500 years and its size to about 400 tonnes, four times the original estimate.
Armillaria affinis is a species of agaric fungus in the family Physalacriaceae. This species is found in Central America.
Armillaria duplicata is a species of mushroom in the family Physalacriaceae. This species is found in Asia.
Armillaria melleorubens is a species of mushroom in the family Physalacriaceae. This species is found in Central America.
Armillaria pelliculata is a species of agaric fungus in the family Physalacriaceae. This species is found in Africa.
Armillaria tigrensis is a species of mushroom in the family Physalacriaceae. This species is found in South America.
Armillaria viridiflava is a species of agaric fungus in the family Physalacriaceae. This species is found in South America.
Entoloma abortivum, commonly known as the aborted entoloma or shrimp of the woods, is an edible mushroom in the Entolomataceae family of fungi. Caution should be used in identifying the species before eating. First named Clitopilus abortivus by Miles Joseph Berkeley and Moses Ashley Curtis, it was given its current name by the Dutch mycologist Marinus Anton Donk in 1949.
Amanita ananiceps is a species of agaric fungus in the family Amanitaceae native to Australia.
Lentinula reticeps is a species of agaric fungus in the family Omphalotaceae. It was originally described as Agaricus reticeps by French mycologist Camille Montagne in 1856. William Alphonso Murrill transferred it to the genus Lentinula in 1915.
Cerocorticium molle is a species of crust fungus in the family Meruliaceae.
Rhizomorpha is a genus of fungi that was created for species known only by their mycelial cords ("rhizomorphs") and so impossible to classify within the normal taxonomic system, which is based on reproductive structures.
