Chlorociboria aeruginascens is a saprobic species of mushroom, commonly known as the blue stain, [1] green elfcup [2] or the green wood cup [3] because of its characteristic small, green, saucer-shaped fruit bodies. Although the actual fruit bodies are infrequently seen, the green staining of wood caused by the fungus is more prevalent.
Tricholoma murrillianum is a species of mushroom-forming fungus found in North America also known as the ponderosa mushroom, pine mushroom, and Western matsutake. It produces a choice edible mushroom but can be confused with the poisonous Amanita smithiana .
Amanita vaginata, commonly known as the grisette or the grisette amanita, [1] is an edible mushroom in the fungus family Amanitaceae.The cap is gray or brownish, 5 to 10 centimetres (2 to 4 inches) in diameter, and has furrows around the edge that duplicate the gill pattern underneath.
The milk, or latex, that oozes when the mushroom tissue is cut or broken (a feature common to all members of the genus Lactarius) is also indigo blue, but slowly turns green upon exposure to air. The cap has a diameter of 4–15 cm (2–6 in), and the stem is 2–8 cm (3 ⁄ 4 – 3 + 1 ⁄ 8 in) tall and 1–2.5 cm (3 ⁄ 8 –1 in) thick.
Although morphology of the mushroom or fruit body (basidiocarp) was the basis of early classification of the Agaricomycetes, [8] this is no longer the case. As an example, the distinction between the Gasteromycetes (including puffballs ) and Agaricomycetes (most other agaric mushrooms) is no longer recognized as a natural one—various puffball ...
Turbinellus floccosus, commonly known as the scaly vase, or sometimes the shaggy, scaly, or woolly chanterelle, is a cantharelloid mushroom of the family Gomphaceae native to Asia and North America. It was known as Gomphus floccosus until 2011, [1] when it was found to be only distantly related to the genus's type species, G. clavatus.
Omphalotus olearius, [2] commonly known as the jack-o'-lantern mushroom, is a poisonous orange gilled mushroom that to an untrained eye appears similar to some chanterelles. It is notable for its bioluminescent properties. It is found in woodland areas in Europe, where it grows on decaying stumps, on buried roots or at the base of hardwood trees.
