The species was first described scientifically by American mycologist Howard James Banker in 1913. [2] Italian Pier Andrea Saccardo placed the species in the genus Hydnum in 1925, [3] while Walter Henry Snell and Esther Amelia Dick placed it in Calodon in 1956; [4] Hydnum peckii (Banker) Sacc. and Calodon peckii Snell & E.A. Dick are synonyms of Hydnellum peckii.
The mushroom is stalkless and the cap is rust-brown or darker brown, sometimes with black zones. The cap is flat, up to 8 × 5 × 0.5–1 cm in area. It is often triangular or round, with zones of fine hairs. The pore surface is whitish to light brown, with pores round and with age twisted and labyrinthine. 3–8 pores per millimeter.
Bioluminescent Mycena roseoflava Panellus stipticus, one of about 125 known species of bioluminescent fungi. 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.

A spore print of P. stipticus, made by depositing a large number of spores in a small area, reveals their color to be white. [21] Viewed with a microscope, the spores are smooth-walled, elliptical to nearly allantoid (sausage-shaped), with dimensions of 3–6 by 2–3 μm.
The stipe is 4–11 cm (1 + 5 ⁄ 8 – 4 + 3 ⁄ 8 in) tall and 1–3 cm wide, [1] grandular dotted and the color is similar to the cap. [2] The cap is scaly and has fibrillose. The spores are brownish when they are young. [5] The spore print is dark olive brown to brown. [6] The species stains fingers blue. [7] It has no veil. [2]
Baorangia bicolor, also known as the two-colored bolete or red and yellow bolete after its two-tone coloring scheme, is an edible fungus in the genus Baorangia.It inhabits most of eastern North America, primarily east of the Rocky Mountains, and is in season during the summer and fall months, but can also be found in China and Nepal.
The species was first described as Agaricus giganteus by English naturalist James Sowerby in 1809, who illustrated it in his book Coloured Figures of English Fungi. [1] Other historical synonyms include Clitocybe gigantea (Quélet, 1872), [2] Paxillus giganteus (Fries, 1874), [3] and Omphalia geotropa var. gigantea (Quélet, 1886). [4]
The shingled hedgehog mushroom and related species contain blue-green pigments, which are used for dyeing wool in Norway. [2] The fruiting body of Hydnellum peckii can be used to produce a beige color when no mordant is used, and shades of blue or green depending on the mordant added. [3]
