Tulosesus subpurpureus is a species of mushroom producing fungus in the family Psathyrellaceae. [1]

Taxonomy

The species was originally found in 1948 in Cheboygan County, Michigan, USA, and described by mycologist Alexander H. Smith, who named it Coprinus subpurpureus. [2]

In 2001 a phylogenetic study resulted in a major reorganization and reshuffling of that genus and this species was transferred to Coprinellus . [3]

The species was known as Coprinellussubpurpureus until 2020 when the German mycologists Dieter Wächter & Andreas Melzer reclassified many species in the Psathyrellaceae family based on phylogenetic analysis. [4]

Description

The cap is 1.5 cm (0.6 in) tall, and up to 3.5 cm (1.4 in) when fully expanded. The cap surface when young has a powdery bloom (pruinose), but becomes smooth (glabrous) in maturity; it is typically brownish in color, but in maturity is colored more purple near the center, and is dark gray to black near the edges. The flesh is thin and fragile, with no discernible odor or taste. The gills have an adnate attachment to the stem, and are narrow and placed closely together; they are buff in color before darkening to black in maturity prior to dissolving (deliquescing). The stipe is 4 to 10 cm (1.6 to 3.9 in) tall by 0.1 to 0.25 cm (0.04 to 0.10 in) thick. [2]

The spores are smooth, elliptical or roughly oval depending on the direction in which they are viewed, and have dimensions of 12–14 by 5.5–6.8 by 7–8  µm. The basidia are 4-spored, and 18–30 by 6–7 µm. [2]

Habitat

Coprinellus subpurpureus was found growing on wet leaves under hardwood trees in Michigan, USA. [2]

<i>Coprinellus</i> Genus of fungi

Coprinellus is a genus of mushroom-forming fungi in the family Psathyrellaceae. The genus was circumscribed by the Finnish mycologist Petter Adolf Karsten in 1879. Most Coprinellus species were transferred from the once large genus Coprinus. Molecular studies published in 2001 redistributed Coprinus species to Psathyrella, or the segregate genera Coprinopsis and Coprinellus.

<i>Tulosesus impatiens</i> Species of fungus

Tulosesus impatiens is a species of fungus in the family Psathyrellaceae. First described in 1821, it has been classified variously in the genera Psathyrella, Pseudocoprinus, Coprinarius, and Coprinus, before molecular phylogenetics reaffirmed it as a Coprinellus species in 2001. The fungus is found in North America and Europe, where the mushrooms grow on the ground in deciduous forests. The fruit bodies have buff caps that are up to 4 cm (1.6 in) in diameter, held by slender whitish stems that can be up to 10 cm (3.9 in) tall. Several other Coprinopsis species that resemble C. impatiens may be distinguished by differences in appearance, habit, or spore morphology.

<i>Parasola auricoma</i> Species of fungus

Parasola auricoma is a species of agaric fungus in the family Psathyrellaceae. First described scientifically in 1886, the species is found in Europe, Japan, and North America. The mushroom was reported in February 2019 in Colombia, in the city of Bogota by the mycologist Juan Camilo Rodriguez Martinez. The small, umbrella-shaped fruit bodies (mushrooms) of the fungus grow in grass or woodchips and are short-lived, usually collapsing with age in a few hours. The caps are up to 6 cm (2.4 in) wide, initially elliptical before flattening out, and colored reddish-brown to greyish, depending on their age and hydration. They are pleated with radial grooves extending from the center to the edge of the cap. The slender, whitish stems are up to 12 cm (4.7 in) long and a few millimeters thick. Microscopically, P. auricoma is characterized by the presence of setae in its cap cuticle. This characteristic, in addition to the relatively large, ellipsoid spores can be used to distinguish it from other morphologically similar Parasola species.
