because they have amyloid spores . never mind that other genera ( amanita , for example) manage to hold species with both amyloid and inamyloid spores. and never mind that the sole character separating thegenus floccularia thus involves the color reaction of its spores, as seen by the human eye through...
species: c. taliensis binomial name camellia taliensis (w.w.sm.) melch. camellia taliensis (also yunnan large leaf varietal tea, wild tea, 大理茶) is a species of evergreen shrub or small tree whose leaves and leaf buds are used to produce tea . it is ofthegenus camellia of flowering plants in the family...
morphology (warted, rather than angular, spores in rhodocybe; longitudinally ribbed spores in clitopilus), must be rearranged because dna results nested clitopilus within rhodocybe; since "clitopilus" is the older ofthe two names, species of rhodocybe were transferred to clitopilus. however, authors...
mycetinis, strobilurus, tricholomopsis, and xerula --as well as some ofthe larger marasmioid mushrooms . identification of collybioid mushrooms ranges from fairly easy to extremely difficult. you will have better luck with identification if you have a robust collection of many mushrooms, representing...
and slender stature, their white spore prints and their tough, rooting stems, which taper underground. there is no partial veil or universal veil (among the north american species, anyway), so the relatively thin stem lacks a ring or a volva . most ofthe north american species occur under hardwoods...
you'll find gills where you expected pores. the similarity to boletes continues under the microscope; the spores in this genus look rather like the spores of boletes. some phylloporus species even bruise blue, like some boletes. as you might imagine, the fact that phylloporus species look like boletes...
species, like those in the agrocybe praecox cluster , can be fairly dark brown when young, but soon fade to much paler shades. agrocybe erebia is dark brown from start to finish. it also has a lined cap margin, gills that begin to run down the stem, and a slimy surface (when fresh); these are pretty...
pleurotoid mushrooms. they have white spore prints and often smell and taste mealy. thegenus is full of drab colors, from boring shades of beige to dull browns and blacks, which might lead one to call them "ho-hum-buehelias"--except that other defining features ofthegenus include stunning "metuloid...
stem but do not run down it, helping distinguish them from clitocyboid mushrooms . laccarias are mycorrhizal , forming symbiotic partnerships with trees. there is evidence that at least some species of laccaria may serve as pioneers in disturbed ground or de-forested areas that have recently begun the...
