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 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 ...
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 ...
Phallaceae is a family of fungi, commonly known as stinkhorns, within the order Phallales. Stinkhorns have a worldwide distribution, but are especially prevalent in tropical regions. They are known for their foul-smelling, sticky spore masses, or gleba , borne on the end of a stalk called the receptaculum.
The stipe is 5–12 cm long and 0.5–2 cm in diameter, usually thicker at the base. It is white and covered with brown vertical fibrils. The flesh is soft and white. [5] The fruit body has a mild to earthy radish smell [5] and a mild taste at first, which may become slightly bitter. [6]
The adnate gills are thick and widely spaced, yellow red in colour. The ringless stipe is 2–5 cm tall and 0.3–1 cm (1 ⁄ 8 – 3 ⁄ 8 in) wide, red with a yellowish base. The flesh is yellowish-red and the smell and taste faint. The oval spores measure 7–9.5 x 4–5 μm and produce a white spore print. [1] [2]
Viewed from below, on a closed-cap specimen, the twin-layered ring has a well-developed 'cogwheel' pattern around the stipe. This is the lower part of the double ring. The stalk is 5–12 cm (2– 4 + 1 ⁄ 2 in) long and 1–3 cm wide. [4] The spores are brown and smooth. [4]
