Neolentinus is a genus of wood-decaying agarics with tough fruit bodies composed of dimitic tissue, serrated lamella edges, and nonamyloid white binucleate basidiospores among other features. It was segregated from Lentinus in the broad taxonomic sense, hence the derivation of the name. Biologically Neolentinus species produce a brown rot type of decay of wood, whereas Lentinus causes a white rot. Molecular phylogenetic analysis shows that the two genera are unrelated. Neolentinus is phylogenetically allied to other brown rot genera such as Gloeophyllum, Heliocybe, and Veluticeps. A new order, the Gloeophyllales, has been described for these fungi. Heliocybe had been placed in synonymy but it differs phylogenetically and anatomically by the lack of clamp connections that all Neolentinus produce on their generative hyphae.
The Nematocera are a suborder of elongated flies with thin, segmented antennae and mostly aquatic larvae. Major families in the suborder include the mosquitoes, crane flies, gnats, black flies, and a group of families described as midges.
Fungus gnats are small, dark, short-lived gnats, of the families Sciaridae, Diadocidiidae, Ditomyiidae, Keroplatidae, Bolitophilidae, and Mycetophilidae ; they comprise six of the seven families placed in the superfamily Sciaroidea.
Trametes versicolor – also known as Coriolus versicolor and Polyporus versicolor – is a common polypore mushroom found throughout the world. Meaning 'of several colours', versicolor reliably describes this fungus that displays different colors. For example, because its shape and multiple colors are similar to those of a wild turkey, T. versicolor is commonly called turkey tail.
The Mycetophilidae are a family of small flies, forming the bulk of those species known as fungus gnats. About 3000 described species are placed in 150 genera, but the true number of species is undoubtedly much higher. They are generally found in the damp habitats favoured by their host fungi and sometimes form dense swarms.
The Keroplatidae are a family of small flies known as fungus gnats. About 950 species are described, but the true number of species is undoubtedly much higher. They are generally forest dwellers found in the damp habitats favoured by their host fungi. They can also often be found in caves. Larvae both feed on fungi and are predatory - they can spin webs by secreting acid fluids, which they use to kill smaller invertebrates and capture spores. Some of the predatory larvae cannibalize pupa of their own species.
Neolentinus lepideus is a basidiomycete mushroom of the genus Neolentinus, until recently also widely known as Lentinus lepideus. Common names for it include scaly lentinus and train wrecker.
Orfelia is a cosmopolitan genus of flies in the family Mycetophilidae. As with most other species in the family, these are commonly known as fungus gnats. In Australia, along with flies in the genera Leia, Mycetophila, Mycoma and Phthinia, they are important pollinators of native greenhood orchids which employ the flies in pseudocopulation. Detailed microscopic examination is required to identify species and even genus.
Exechia contaminata is a Palearctic species of fungus gnat in the family Mycetophilidae. Exechia contaminata is chiefly or exclusively associated with Russula and Lactarius.
Exechia spinuligera is a Palearctic species of fungus gnat in the family Mycetophilidae. Exechia contaminata is chiefly or exclusively associated with Russula and Lactarius.
Macrocera parva is a Palearctic species of 'fungus gnat' in the family Keroplatidae.Larvae of species in this genus have been reared from a range of situations including clumps of turf, rotting wood and cave walls and are thought to be predaceous.
Mycetophila edwardsi is a Palearctic species of 'fungus gnat' in the family Mycetophilidae. Mycetophila edwardsi is found in forest or wooded areas where the larvae develop in fruiting bodies of large fungi.
Mycetophila formosa is a Palearctic species of 'fungus gnat' in the family Mycetophilidae. Mycetophila formosa is found in forest or wooded areas where the larvae develop in Phlebia radiata and moist, strongly decayed wood of birch and spruce log bearing Trechispora hymenocystis.
Mycetophila fungorum is a Palearctic species of 'fungus gnats' in the family Mycetophilidae. Mycetophila fungorum is found in forest or wooded areas where the larvae develop in Agaricales and also obtained with emergence traps over dead wood, soil and ground flora.
Mycomya cinerascens is a Palearctic species of 'fungus gnats' in the family Mycetophilidae. Mycomya cinerascens is found in forest or wooded areas where the larvae develop in fruiting bodies of Stereum, Thelephora terrestris and Cortinarius sp..Besides fruiting bodies the species has been collected with emergence traps over beech logs and stumps, alder and spruce stumps.
Mycetophilinae is a subfamily of fungus gnats in the family Mycetophilidae. There are more than 30 genera and 2,000 described species in Mycetophilinae.
Mycetophila is a genus of fungus gnats in the family Mycetophilidae. There are at least 740 described species in Mycetophila.
Mycetophila sigmoides is a species of fungus gnats in the family Mycetophilidae.
Mycetophila unipunctata is a species of fungus gnats in the family Mycetophilidae.
Mycetophila elegans is a species of 'fungus gnats' in the family Mycetophilidae.
