Helvella phlebophora is a species of fungus in the family Helvellaceae of the order Pezizales.
This species has been found in China [1]
Helvella crispa, also known as the white saddle, elfin saddle or common helvel, is an ascomycete fungus of the family Helvellaceae. The mushroom is readily identified by its irregularly shaped whitish cap, fluted stem, and fuzzy undersurfaces. It is found in eastern North America and in Europe, near deciduous trees in summer and autumn.
The Pezizales are an order of the subphylum Pezizomycotina within the phylum Ascomycota. The order contains 16 families, 199 genera, and 1683 species. It contains a number of species of economic importance, such as morels, the black and white truffles, and the desert truffles. The Pezizales can be saprobic, mycorrhizal, or parasitic on plants. Species grow on soil, wood, leaves and dung. Soil-inhabiting species often fruit in habitats with a high pH and low content of organic matter, including disturbed ground. Most species occur in temperate regions or at high elevation. Several members of the Sarcoscyphaceae and Sarcosomataceae are common in tropical regions.
Helvella is a genus of ascomycete fungus of the family Helvellaceae. The mushrooms, commonly known as elfin saddles, are identified by their irregularly shaped caps, fluted stems, and fuzzy undersurfaces. They are found in North America and in Europe. Well known species include the whitish H. crispa and the grey H. lacunosa. They have been reported to cause gastrointestinal symptoms when eaten raw.
The Helvellaceae are a family of ascomycete fungi, the best-known members of which are the elfin saddles of the genus Helvella. Originally erected by Elias Magnus Fries in 1823 as Elvellacei, it contained many genera. Several of these, such as Gyromitra and Discina, have been found to be more distantly related in a molecular study of ribosomal DNA by mycologist Kerry O'Donnell in 1997, leaving a much smaller core clade now redefined as Helvellaceae. Instead, this narrowly defined group is most closely related to the true truffles of the Tuberaceae. Although the Dictionary of the Fungi considered the Helvellaceae to contain six genera and 63 species, genetic analysis has shown that Leucangium, previously classified in this family, is more closely related to the Morchellaceae.
Helvella lacunosa, known as the slate grey saddle or fluted black elfin saddle in North America, simply as the elfin saddle in Britain, is an ascomycete fungus of the family Helvellaceae. It is one of the most common species in the genus Helvella. The mushroom is readily identified by its irregularly shaped grey cap, fluted stem, and fuzzy undersurfaces. It is usually found in Eastern North America and in Europe, near deciduous and coniferous trees in summer and autumn.
Helvella acetabulum is a species of fungus in the family Helvellaceae, order Pezizales. This relatively large cup-shaped fungus is characterized by a tan fruit body with prominent branching ribs resembling a cabbage leaf; for this reason it is commonly known as the cabbage leaf Helvella. Other colloquial names include the vinegar cup and the brown ribbed elfin cup. The fruit bodies reaches dimensions of 8 cm (3.1 in) by 4 cm (1.6 in) tall. It is found in Asia, Europe, and North America, where it grows in sandy soils, under both coniferous and deciduous trees.
Helvella corium is a species of fungus in the family Helvellaceae of the order Pezizales. This inedible cup-shaped fungus is black, and grows on the ground often near willows in deciduous or mixed forests. Although it has a fairly wide distribution, it is uncommon.
Helvella elastica, commonly known as the flexible Helvella, or the elastic saddle, is a species of fungus in the family Helvellaceae of the order Pezizales. It is found in Asia, Europe, and North America. It has a roughly saddle-shaped yellow-brown cap atop a whitish stipe, and grows on soil in woods. Another colloquial name is the brown elfin saddle.
Helvella queletii is a species of fungus in the family Helvellaceae of the order Pezizales.
Wynnella silvicola is a species of fungus in the family Helvellaceae, order Pezizales.
Helvella latispora is a species of fungi in the family Helvellaceae of the order Pezizales. Ascocarps appear in late summer and autumn as pale stems up to 5 cm in height topped by a greyish saddle shaped cap.
Helvella solitaria is a species of fungus in the family Helvellaceae. Originally described as Peziza solitaria by Petter Karsten in 1869, he transferred it to the genus Helvella in 1871. The fungus has a boreal and temperate distribution.
Helvella cupuliformis is a species of fungus in the family Helvellaceae of the order Pezizales, described in 1966.
Helvella macropus is a species of fungus in the family Helvellaceae of the order Pezizales. Ascocarps are found in summer and autumn in woodland, usually associated with broad-leaved trees. The slender stem, up to 5 centimeters high, supports a cup shaped cap, the whole fruiting body being pale grey or brown, the inner (hymenial) surface of the cup usually being darker. It is inedible.
Helvella ephippium is a species of fungus in the family Helvellaceae, Pezizales order. It appears in summer and autumn as an upright white stem up to 5 cm (2.0 in) tall supporting a greyish-brown saddle-shaped cap. It is found in woodland and is variously listed as inedible or "edible but uninspiring"
Helvella costifera is a species of fungus in the family Helvellaceae, Pezizales order. Its ascocarp has conspicuous ribs on its undersurface.
Helvella atra is a species of fungus in the family Helvellaceae of the order Pezizales.
Balsamia is a genus of truffle-like ascomycete fungi of the family Helvellaceae. The widespread genus contains twenty five species known from Europe, North America, North Africa and Asia, including China.
Helvella zhongtiaoensis is a species of fungus in the family Helvellaceae. It is found in China, where it grows in the forest under Pinus tabulaeformis. The fungus was described as new to science in 1990 by Jin-Zhong Cao and Bo Liu.
Morchella miyabeana is a species of fungus in the family Morchellaceae. Described as new to science in 1932 by mycologist Sanshi Imai, it is found in Japan.
