The shape, colour, density and other properties (for instance, the gills here leak latex) are important when identifying mushroom species. "False" gills of Craterellus tubaeformis In mycology , a lamella ( pl. : lamellae ), or gill , is a papery hymenophore rib under the cap of some mushroom species, most often agarics .
Gillies or split-gills vary from creamy yellow to pale white in colour. The cap is small, 1–4 centimetres (3 ⁄ 8 – 1 + 5 ⁄ 8 in) wide with a dense yet spongey body texture. It is known as the split-gill mushroom because of the unique, longitudinally divided nature of the namesake gills on the underside of the cap. This mushroom is found ...
young mushroom. Said to resemble a child's top, the mushroom has a dull dark purple, dark brownish or greyish cap ranging from 3–12 cm (1 + 1 ⁄ 8 – 4 + 3 ⁄ 4 in) in diameter; [8] it has a central boss and an inrolled margin, and is initially convex and later flattens and may develop blackish markings. [4] The cap surface is smooth and ...
Called pinkgills in English, basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are typically agaricoid (gilled mushrooms), though a minority are gasteroid. All have salmon-pink basidiospores which colour the gills at maturity and are angular under a microscope. The genus is large, with almost 2000 species worldwide.
Phylloporus rhodoxanthus, commonly known as the gilled bolete, [1] is a species of fungus in the family Boletaceae.Like other species in the genus, it has a lamellate (gilled) hymenium and forms a mycorrhizal association with the roots of living trees, specifically beech and oak in North and Central America.
The gills are strongly decurrent and cream-yellow in colour, [8] contrasting with the rest of the mushroom. [9] There are some smaller gills in between the regular gills, and the gills are occasionally forked near the stem. The gill edges are straight in younger mushrooms and sometimes wavy (undulate) in older ones. [10] The spore print is ...
As normal in the genus Amanita, the gills are whitish and free from the stem and the spores are white. The gills darken when bruised. [11] The stem is 5–12 cm high and 0.6–1.5 cm thick, with a basal bulb which may [7] [8] [9] or may not [10] be surrounded by a white membranous volva. [6] The fragile ring is grey-violet [7] [8] or blackened ...
The gills are brittle except in a few cases, and cannot be bent parallel with the cap without breaking. Hence the genus Russula is sometimes known colloquially as "brittle gills". [12] They have splitting gills and do not exude a milky substance at cut surfaces, contrary to the genus Lactarius. Presence of large spherical cells, 'sphaerocysts ...
