In mycology, a stipe (/ s t aɪ p /) is the stem or stalk-like feature supporting the cap of a mushroom. Like all tissues of the mushroom other than the hymenium, the stipe is composed of sterile hyphal tissue. In many instances, however, the fertile hymenium extends down the stipe some distance. Fungi that have stipes are said to be stipitate. [1]
The fruiting bodies mostly have a central stipe. Some are medium-sized and there are also smaller species. The caps range in colour from yellow/brown to brick red. The spore colour is dark brown to black. The cap is smooth. The developing mushroom is enveloped in a veil, but in Hypholoma this can be seen only in very young examples. This means ...
Many fungi and microorganisms have been domesticated by humans for use in food production, medicine, and research. The following is a list of domesticated fungi and microorganisms: Food
The gills are free and rounded behind. The veil is large and sometimes adhere to the margin of the cap. The veil is large and sometimes adhere to the margin of the cap. The stipe (stem) is 7.5 to 20 cm (3 to 8 in) long, thick, white, bulbous, and sometimes weighs a pound.
The stipe is yellowish, somewhat rust-brown below. The mushroom grows to 10 cm (4 in) tall. The flesh is yellow. [3] The taste is mild, compared to most Hypholomas which are bitter. [4] The gills are initially pale orangish-yellow, pale grey when mature, later darker purple/brown. The spore print is dark burgundy to brown.
A large spore that increases notably in size, but does not divide. Upon being inhalted in the lungs of humans and animals, can cause adiaspiromycosis disease. From Gr. a-, without, dia, separating. [9] adnate . attached, adherent. Adhering; attached to the stipe throughout its width, esp. of lamellae or tubes. Compare with free. [10] aero ...
Although the pileate form (i.e., with a cap and stipe) is predominant, gasteroid and secotioid forms are known. In pileate species, the gills are typically thin, and free from attachment to the stipe. Caps are scurfy to smooth, and range from roughly flat to umbonate. They typically have a centrally attached stipe and a membrane-like partial ...
The cap is usually about 5–12 centimetres (2– 4 + 1 ⁄ 2 inches) across; the stipe is usually 7.5–20 cm (3–8 in) long and about 0.5–2 cm (1 ⁄ 4 – 3 ⁄ 4 in) thick. They are found singly or in small groups. [citation needed] Destroying angels can be mistaken for edible fungi such as the button mushroom, meadow mushroom, or the ...
