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 ]
The stipe and arms have a tubular construction, similar to species from Lysurus. Neolysurus is unique in having a long stipe, ending in arms or columns that branch and interconnect to support a cushion-shaped, olive green gleba. The glebal cushion is divided into polygonal compartments by a fine pinkish white, solid mesh.
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 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 3 to 10 cm (1 + 1 ⁄ 4 to 4 in) tall, [5] 1–2 cm wide, [4] predominantly white and bears a single thin ring. [6] The taste is mild. The white flesh bruises a dingy reddish brown, as opposed to yellow in the poisonous Agaricus xanthodermus and similar species. The thick-walled, dark brown, elliptical spores [4] measure 5.5–8 ...
The cap surface is sticky or tacky. The center of the cap is gray to brown with a gray edge. The white gills are closely crowded together and free from attachment to the stipe. In young mushrooms, the gills exude drops of clear fluid. The dry, white to pale grey stipe measures 8–20 cm (3–8 in) long by 0.5–1.7 cm (1 ⁄ 4 – 3 ⁄ 4 in
