The shape, colour, density and other properties (for instance, the gills here leak latex) are important when identifying mushroom species. "False" gills of Craterellus tubaeformis. In mycology, a lamella (pl.: lamellae), or gill, is a papery hymenophore rib under the cap of some mushroom species, most often agarics.
Diagram showing a basidiomycete mushroom, gill structure, and spore-bearing basidia on the gill margins. A basidium (pl.: basidia) is a microscopic spore-producing structure found on the hymenophore of reproductive bodies of basidiomycete fungi. The presence of basidia is one of the main characteristic features of the group.
Gillies or split-gills vary from creamy yellow to pale white in colour. The cap is small, 1–4 centimetres (3 ⁄ 8 – 1 + 5 ⁄ 8 in) wide with a dense yet spongey body texture. It is known as the split-gill mushroom because of the unique, longitudinally divided nature of the namesake gills on the underside of the cap. This mushroom is found ...
The standard for the name "mushroom" is the cultivated white button mushroom, Agaricus bisporus; hence, the word "mushroom" is most often applied to those fungi (Basidiomycota, Agaricomycetes) that have a stem , a cap , and gills (lamellae, sing.
Agaric or gill fungi – fruiting body with caps, gills, and (usually) a stalk. Bolete – fleshy fruiting body with a cap, a stalk, and tubes on the underside. Basic divisions of Agaricomycotina were formerly based entirely upon the growth form of the mushroom.
Mushrooms that have been exposed to UV light are one of the few plant-based sources of vitamin D. When exposed to UV light with their gills (also called lamellae) facing up, mushrooms can produce ...
The red colour may fade after rain and in older mushrooms. The free gills are white, as is the spore print. The oval spores measure 9–13 by 6.5–9 μm; they do not turn blue with the application of iodine. [29]
Nature was also key part of the film’s visual language. Tazewell previously told Variety about how the underside of mushrooms (aka mushroom gills) inspired his designs for Elphaba’s witch ...
