Found largely in temperate and tropical climates, currently there are more than 125 known species of bioluminescent fungi, [1] all of which are members of the order Agaricales (Basidiomycota) with one possible exceptional ascomycete belonging to the order Xylariales.

Louis Ferdinand Lambert, the farm's owner and a mycologist by training, brought the white mushroom back to his ...
Tricholoma is a genus of fungus that contains many fairly fleshy white-spored gilled mushrooms which are found worldwide generally growing in woodlands. These are ectomycorrhizal fungi, existing in a symbiotic relationship with various species of coniferous or broad-leaved trees.
The cap is supported by a thin, hollow stem growing anywhere from 20–65mm long. The cap appears black at first, but fades to a grey-brown colour around the edges, with the stem generally being the same colour as the cap. The flesh of Mycena alcalina ranges from white to translucent and is fragile and thin. This species of mushroom is edible ...
Tricholoma magnivelare, commonly known as the matsutake, white matsutake, [2] ponderosa mushroom, pine mushroom, or American matsutake, [3] is a gilled mushroom found East of the Rocky Mountains in North America growing in coniferous woodland.
The large fungi, responsible for about 90% of the world’s mushroom-related fatalities, primarily grow at the base of trees along the coasts of California, Oregon, New Jersey and other coastal ...
The caps are 1–4 centimetres (3 ⁄ 8 – 1 + 5 ⁄ 8 in) wide with white or grayish hairs. They grow in shelf-like arrangements, without stalks. [3] The gills, which produce basidiospores on their surface, split when the mushroom dries out, earning this mushroom the common name split gill. It is common in rotting wood. [4]
