Failure to identify poisonous mushrooms and confusing them with edible ones has resulted in death. [ 25 ] [ 26 ] [ 27 ] Although in the 21st century primitive digital applications exist to aid with identification, these are unreliable and some inexperienced hunters relying upon them have been seriously poisoned.
A 2008 molecular phylogenetic study clarified the relationships among the mushroom-forming species of the family. [15] The authors demonstrated the existence of four distinct lineages of gilled mushrooms, which led to the description of Multifurca as a new genus separated from Russula [15] and the segregation of Lactifluus from Lactarius. [16] [17]
Leccinum scabrum, commonly known as the rough-stemmed bolete, scaber stalk, and birch bolete, is an edible mushroom in the family Boletaceae, and was formerly classified as Boletus scaber. The birch bolete is widespread in Europe, in the Himalayas in Asia, and elsewhere in the Northern Hemisphere , occurring only in mycorrhizal association with ...

Amanita caesarea, commonly known as Caesar's mushroom, is a highly regarded edible mushroom in the genus Amanita, native to southern Europe and North Africa. While it was first described by Giovanni Antonio Scopoli in 1772, this mushroom was a known favorite of early rulers of the Roman Empire. [2] It has a distinctive orange cap, yellow gills ...
The mushrooms are collected in August to early October, where they are traditionally salted or pickled. [20] [21] High consumption of the species may cause urine to discolor to orange or red. [22] At least one field guide holds Lactarius rubrilacteus in higher esteem. [20] It is widely collected in the Iberian Peninsula, especially in Catalonia.
Agaricus bitorquis mushroom emerging through asphalt concrete in summer. Basidiospores are elliptical in shape, smooth, and with dimensions of 5–7 x 4–5.5 μm. Basidia are 20–25 x 6.5–8.5 μm, usually four-spored, but often with two-spored basidia present. Cystidia are present and numerous.
A German study showed that mushrooms collected from 1986 to 1988 had radiocaesium contents that were 8.3 to 13.6 times greater than mushrooms collected before the accident in 1985. [58] This caesium-sequestering effect is caused by a brown pigment , the polyphenol compound norbadione A , which is related to a family of mushroom pigments known ...
