This mushroom is saprobic and found on fallen logs of hardwoods in North America and Europe. The specific epithet patellaris means "dish shaped". [1] The mushroom is commonly known as the "Veiled Panus". [1] The snuff brown gills of young specimens are covered with a buff white ephemeral partial veil that may be absent in older specimens.
The subgenus is characterised by mushrooms that feature either no veils, or veils that do not form rings. The section Macrospori, proposed by Guzmán-Dávalos in 1995, is made up of large-spored species with ringless mushrooms. [10]
Species in the genus Agaricus have a partial veil that is made of two layers of tissue, although the two layers are not clearly distinct in all species. [8] In the early 20th century, American mycologist George Francis Atkinson investigated the development of the mushroom Agaricus arvensis by collecting young mushroom buttons (immature fruit bodies with the veil intact and the cap not yet ...
Russula is a very large genus composed of around 750 worldwide species of ectomycorrhizal mushrooms. They are typically common, fairly large, and brightly colored – making them one of the most recognizable genera among mycologists and mushroom collectors.
Clearly visible webby partial veil (cortina), hiding the stalk. A veil or velum, in mycology, is one of several structures in fungi, especially the thin membrane that covers the cap and stalk of an immature mushroom. [1] Veils fall into two categories: Partial veil; Universal veil
Its stem is equal and pale yellow to chestnut brown, and is initially slightly downy. Its dimensions are 3-6cm x 0.07-0.2cm, and it has no veil. Microscopically, its spores measure 10-12.3 x 5-6.5 microns and egg shaped. Its plage is sharply defined, and the spores have an apical callus. Each basidium has 2 spores, and measures 20-24 x 7-8 microns.
The gills are only slightly decurrent, no ring. Lentinus levis (Berk. & M.A. Curtis) Murrill (1915) This American mushroom, which has been classified as a Pleurotus, is reportedly easy to mistake for P. dryinus. [14] It has no cap scales and no ring or veil remnants, and the felty surface is different. [15] Pleurotus albertinii [Fr.) Sacc. (1887)
The possession and use of psilocybin mushrooms, including P. semilanceata, is therefore prohibited by extension. Although many European countries remained open to the use and possession of hallucinogenic mushrooms after the US ban, starting in the 2000s (decade) there has been a tightening of laws and enforcements.
