it was, in part, my frustration with the inadequacies in existing north american mycological treatments ofthegenus that led me to this project, and we will never reach a point where the field-guide descriptions correspond to scientific reality without a revision ofthegenus on mycological terms....
reminiscent of carbon or charcoal. themushrooms are "pyrenomycetes," which means they produce spores in asci that are embedded in tiny pockets called "perithecia"; the asci take turns growing into the narrow opening ofthe pocket so that they can shoot spores away from the fungus and into the air currents...
day it was discovered. at issue is its placement relative to other groups of fungi. it has funky, interesting basidia (the prong-like structures on which spores are borne) that seem to be a combination of two well-established types. jelly fungi develop divided basidia, while other mushrooms that bear...
velutipes grows on the wood of various other hardwoods across north america (excepting the western poplars). flammulina populicola has shorter, wider spores that measure - x - μ (versus - x - μ for flammulina velutipes). the cells composing the surface ofthe cap (officially called the "terminal elements...
from the stem. it grows on or near the deadwood of hardwoods, and it is fairly easily distinguished from other species in thegenus on the basis of its somewhat velvety yellowish cap, which usually features a brownish center, at least when young. it has a rather long stem, for a pluteus, and it tends...
with aspens and cottonwoods--the true poplars, in thegenus populus. it is a pale tan to yellowish or whitish member ofthe amanita vaginata group; like other members ofthe group it lacks a ring , develops a lined cap margin, and features a sacklike volva at the stem base. in the case of amanita populiphila...
thegenus, which is a "plus" when it comes to identification efforts--but the accompanying "minus" is that the large size of this mushroom makes it easily confused with species of tricholoma (stem usually more stout; spores inamyloid) or leucopaxillus (gills often separable as a layer; copious mycelium...

squamulosa, this clitocyboid mushroom appears under conifers, primarily in northern and montane north america. it is quite similar to infundibulicybe gibba , which grows under hardwoods, but the colors of infundibulicybe squamulosa are somewhat darker, especially on the stem. according to bigelow (...
the real luis vuitton as opposed to the "luis vuitton" the guy in the parking lot at the leaning tower of pisa wanted to sell you are mostly social and legal. we're talking about the quality of your views ofmushrooms. . . . which probably means, if you're like me, that you can't afford a new microscope...
