Taxonomic notes

  1. 1 2 Several of Romagnesi's names published in the 50s and 60s did not include a reference to a type specimen and only became valid in 1967 when he published his Les Russules d'Europe et d'Afrique du Nord, which included type specifications, even though the original publications are frequently given as valid.
  2. ↑ Russula atropurpurea is acknowledged as an illegitimate later homonym, but in the absence of agreement regarding the better name to use to replace it, continues to be used.
  3. ↑ William Withering's 1801 Agaricus auratus was for a long time believed to be the oldest basionym.
  4. ↑ The attribution "(Pers.) Fr." is more common, but Persoon's 1801 Agaricus caeruleus was an homonym of a name published by James Bolton in his 1788 An History of Fungusses, Growing about Halifax, and thus illegitimate.
  5. ↑ Persoon is often given first authorship, but his Agaricus fragilis was already used by August Batsch in his 1789 Elenchus Fungorum.

<i>Russula</i> Genus of fungi

Russula is a very large genus composed of around 750 worldwide species of ectomycorrhizal mushrooms. They are typically common, fairly large, and brightly colored – making them one of the most recognizable genera among mycologists and mushroom collectors. Their distinguishing characteristics include usually brightly coloured caps, a white to dark yellow spore print, brittle, attached gills, an absence of latex, and absence of partial veil or volva tissue on the stem. Microscopically, the genus is characterised by the amyloid ornamented spores and flesh (trama) composed of spherocysts. Members of the related genus Lactarius have similar characteristics but emit a milky latex when their gills are broken. The genus was described by Christian Hendrik Persoon in 1796.

<i>Tylopilus</i> Genus of fungi

Tylopilus is a genus of over 100 species of mycorrhizal bolete fungi separated from Boletus. Its best known member is the bitter bolete, the only species found in Europe. More species are found in North America, such as the edible species T. alboater. Australia is another continent where many species are found. All members of the genus form mycorrhizal relationships with trees. Members of the genus are distinguished by their pinkish pore surfaces.

<i>Lentinus</i> Genus of fungi

Lentinus is a genus of fungi in the family Polyporaceae. The genus is widely distributed, with many species found in subtropical regions.

Sanford Myron Zeller was an American mycologist.

<i>Arcangeliella</i> Genus of fungi

Arcangeliella is a genus of gasteroid fungi in the family Russulaceae. Taxonomic and phylogenetic research has shown that it is very likely a synonym of Lactarius. The type species Arcangeliella borziana was moved to Lactarius in 2003. However, the genus name is still in use for several species for which new combinations have not yet been proposed.

<i>Thaxterogaster</i> Genus of fungi

Thaxterogaster is a genus of fungi in the family Cortinariaceae.

<i>Phlegmacium</i> Genus of fungi

Phlegmacium is a genus of fungi in the family Cortinariaceae.
