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]
In older specimens, the pores on the pileus can bulge out, while around the stipe they dent in strongly. The pore covering is easy to remove from the skin of the pileus. The stipe is 5–15 cm (2–6 in) long and 1–3.5 cm ( 3 ⁄ 8 – 1 + 3 ⁄ 8 in) wide, slim, with white and dark to black flakes, and tapers upward. [ 3 ]
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 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 ...
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 ...
The stipe is 5.5 to 11 centimetres (2 + 1 ⁄ 4 to 4 + 1 ⁄ 4 in) tall, and 0.5 to 1.5 centimetres (1 ⁄ 4 to 5 ⁄ 8 in) thick with a bulbous base. It is the same colour or slightly paler than the cap, and can have yellow fragments of the veil (cortina) attached to its lower half. [ 8 ]
An annulus is the ring-like or collar-like structure sometimes found on the stipe of some species of mushrooms. The annulus represents the remnants of the partial veil, after it has ruptured to expose the gills or other spore-producing surface. It can also be called a ring which is what the Latin word annulus directly translates as. [1]
Stipe: The stipe is 3–7 cm (1 + 1 ⁄ 8 – 2 + 3 ⁄ 4 in) long and 0.5–1 cm thick. [5] It has either an equal structure, or becomes thinner near the base. It is light yellow, bruising rusty brown. The stipe has an evanescent veil which often leaves fragments on the upper part of the stipe [5] or the margin of young caps.
