Chlorogaster (literally green stomach) is a genus of fungi thought to belong to the Sclerodermataceae family, but this has been not molecularly confirmed. A monotypic genus, it contains the single mycorrhizal species Chlorogaster dipterocarpi. [1]
Puffballs are a type of fungus featuring a ball-shaped fruit body that bursts on impact, releasing a cloud of dust-like spores when mature. Puffballs belong to the division Basidiomycota and encompass several genera, including Calvatia, Calbovista and Lycoperdon. The puffballs were previously treated as a taxonomic group called the Gasteromycetes or Gasteromycetidae, but they are now known to be a polyphyletic assemblage.
A basidium (pl. basidia) is a microscopic sporangium found on the hymenophore of fruiting bodies of basidiomycete fungi which are also called tertiary mycelium, developed from secondary mycelium. Tertiary mycelium is highly-coiled secondary mycelium – a dikaryon. The presence of basidia is one of the main characteristic features of the Basidiomycota. A basidium usually bears four sexual spores called basidiospores; occasionally the number may be two or even eight. In a typical basidium, each basidiospore is borne at the tip of a narrow prong or horn called a sterigma (pl. sterigmata), and is forcibly discharged upon maturity.
The Boletales are an order of Agaricomycetes containing over 1300 species with a diverse array of fruiting body types. The boletes are the best known members of this group, and until recently, the Boletales were thought to only contain boletes. The Boletales are now known to contain distinct groups of agarics, puffballs, and other fruiting-body types.
Darevskia is a genus of wall lizards of the family Lacertidae living in the Caucasus, Iran and Turkey in forest and grassy habitats with numerous rock outcrops. Among rock lizards, 7 parthenogenetic species are known.
Lacerta is a genus of lizards of the family Lacertidae.
The Sclerodermataceae are a family of fungi in the order Boletales, containing several genera of unusual fungi that little resemble boletes. Taxa, which include species commonly known as the ‘hard-skinned puffballs’, ‘earthballs’, or 'earthstars', are widespread in both temperate and tropical regions. The best known members include the earthball Scleroderma citrinum, the dye fungus Pisolithus tinctorius and the 'prettymouths' of the genus Calostoma.
Asterinella is a genus of fungi in the Microthyriaceae family. It is commonly found on decaying leaves or dead plants.
Cirsosia is a genus of fungi in the Asterinaceae family. The relationship of this taxon to other taxa within the class is unknown, and it has not yet been placed with certainty into any order.
Favillea is a genus of fungi within the Sclerodermataceae family.
Horakiella is a genus of fungi within the Sclerodermataceae family that contains the two species H.clelandii and H. watarrkana.
Pisolithus is a genus of fungi within the family Sclerodermataceae. The type species, P. arenarius, is now known to be synonymous with P. arhizus.
Asterolepis is a genus of moths belonging to the subfamily Tortricinae of the family Tortricidae.
Beesoniidae is a family of scale insects commonly known as beesoniids. They typically cause galls on their plant hosts. Members of this family mostly come from southern Asia. The family name comes from the type genus Beesonia which is named after the entomologist C.F.C. Beeson who obtained the specimens from which they were described and named.
Tobipuranga is a genus of beetles in the family Cerambycidae, containing the following species:
Sclerodermatineae is a suborder of the fungal order Boletales. Circumscribed in 2002 by mycologists Manfred Binder and Andreas Bresinsky, it contains nine genera and about 80 species. The suborder contains a diverse assemblage fruit body morphologies, including boletes, gasteroid forms, earthstars, and puffballs. Most species are ectomycorrhizal, although the ecological role of some species is not known with certainty. The suborder is thought to have originated in the late Cretaceous (145–66 Ma) in Asia and North America, and the major genera diversified around the mid Cenozoic (66–0 Ma).
Darevskia chlorogaster, the greenbelly lizard, is a lizard species in the genus Darevskia. It is found in Azerbaijan and Iran.
Asterolepis dipterocarpi is a species of moth of the family Tortricidae. It is found in Brunei. The habitat consists of dipterocarp forests.
Calostoma fuscum is a species of gasteroid fungus in the family Sclerodermataceae. Found in Australia, where it grows mainly in Eucalyptus forests, it was originally described by Miles Joseph Berkeley in 1839 as Mitremyces fuscus. George Edward Massee transferred it to the genus Calostoma in 1888.
The green-bellied miner bee is a species of miner bee in the family Andrenidae. It is found in North America.
The lupine miner bee is a species of miner bee in the family Andrenidae. It is found in North America.
