Xenocerus lacrymans is a species of beetles from the family Anthribidae, also known as fungus weevils.
Xenocerus lacrymans can reach a body length of about 10 mm. The basic colour is brown, with white markings on the head, the pronotum and the elytra.
This species can be found in New Guinea and Aru Islands.
Dry rot is wood decay caused by one of several species of fungi that digest parts of wood which give it strength and stiffness. It was previously used to describe any decay of cured wood in ships and buildings by a fungus which resulted in a darkly colored deteriorated and cracked condition.
Serpula lacrymans is one of the fungi that cause damage to timber referred to as dry rot. It is a basidiomycete in the order Boletales. It has the ability to rapidly colonise sites through unique and highly specialised mycelium which also leads to greater degradation rates of wood cellulose.
Anthribidae is a family of beetles also known as fungus weevils. The antennae are not elbowed, may occasionally be longer than the body and thread-like, and can be the longest of any members of Curculionoidea. As in the Nemonychidae, the labrum appears as a separate segment to the clypeus, and the maxillary palps are long and projecting.
Mycelial cords are linear aggregations of parallel-oriented hyphae. The mature cords are composed of wide, empty vessel hyphae surrounded by narrower sheathing hyphae. Cords may look similar to plant roots, and also frequently have similar functions; hence they are also called rhizomorphs. As well as growing underground or on the surface of trees and other plants, some fungi make mycelial cords which hang in the air from vegetation.
Zygaena fausta is a member of the family Zygaenidae, the day-flying burnet moths. Its bright aposematic colours of red, white and black on the wings indicate to possible predators such as birds that it is foul tasting or poisonous. In flight, the bright red abdomen is revealed, contrasting with the white legs and black head and antennae; the thorax is black and white with an eye spot on each side. There appears to be a considerable variation in pattern among specimens from different parts of Europe.
Nemapogon granella is a species of tineoid moth. It belongs to the fungus moth family (Tineidae), and therein to the subfamily Nemapogoninae. It is the type species of its genus Nemapogon, and via that also of the subfamily Nemapogoninae. It is also the type species of the proposed genera Brosis and Diaphthirusa, which are consequently junior objective synonyms of Nemapogon.
Serpula is a genus of fungi in the family Serpulaceae.
Atromentin is a natural chemical compound found in Agaricomycetes fungi in the orders Agaricales and Thelephorales. It can also be prepared by laboratory synthesis. Chemically, it is a polyphenol and a benzoquinone.
Xenocerus deletus is a species of beetles from the family Anthribidae, also known as fungus weevils.
Xenocerus is a genus of beetles from the family Anthribidae, also known as fungus weevils.
Xenocerus speciosus is a species of beetles from the family Anthribidae, also known as fungus weevils.
Serpula himantioides is a species of fungus that causes damage to timber referred to as dry rot. It is a basidiomycete in the order Boletales. It has been found on all continents except for Antarctica. Recent molecular work demonstrates that S. himantioides is a species complex including multiple cryptic lineages.
Heterachthes xenocerus is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by Martins in 1960.
Scythropopsis is a genus of beetles in the family Cerambycidae, containing the following species, most of which were formerly classified under the genus name Psapharochrus:
Scythropopsis lacrymans is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae.
Morimopsis is a genus of longhorn beetles of the subfamily Lamiinae, containing the following species:
Trenetica lacrymans is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae, and the only species in the genus Trenetica. It was described by Thomson in 1864.
Phlebia radiata, commonly known as the wrinkled crust, is a common species of crust fungus in the family Meruliaceae. It is widespread in the Northern Hemisphere. It grows as a wrinkled, orange to pinkish waxy crust on the decaying wood of coniferous and deciduous trees, in which it causes a white rot. The fungus was first described scientifically in 1821 by Elias Magnus Fries.
Morimopsis lacrymans is a species of beetle in the family Cerambycidae. It was described by James Thomson in 1857. It is known from India.
Leucoagaricus lacrymans is a species of mushroom producing fungus in the family Agaricaceae.
