The fungus has long been recognised to have antibacterial properties: the addition of the fungus to soup broth was known to prevent it from spoiling for several days. [69] One of the responsible antibiotics, albaflavenone, was isolated in 2011. It is a sesquiterpenoid that was already known from the soil bacterium Streptomyces albidoflavus. [69]
Phallus indusiatus – Widespread species of stinkhorn fungus Also known as bamboo fungus, bamboo pith, long net stinkhorn, crinoline stinkhorn or veiled lady; Phallus luteus – Species of stinkhorn fungus A new combination proposed in 2008 for the fungus formerly known as Dictyophora indusiata f. lutea.

The fungus is characterised by a conical to bell-shaped cap on a stipe and a lacy "skirt" that hangs from beneath the cap. Mature fruit bodies are up to 30 cm (12 in) tall with a cap that is 2–4 cm (0.8–1.6 in) long. The cap is covered with a greenish spore-containing slime, which attract flies and other insects that eat the spores and ...
Additionally, fungi typically grow in mixed colonies and sporulate amongst each other. These facts have made it very difficult to link the various states of the same fungus. Fungi that are not known to produce a teleomorph were historically placed into an artificial phylum, the "Deuteromycota," also known as "fungi imperfecti," simply for ...
Hesperomyces is a genus of fungi in the family Laboulbeniaceae. The genus contains at least twelve species, [1] including the type species, the Green Beetle Hanger (Hesperomyces virescens). [2] H. virescens is a complex of species. [3] It is an ectoparasite of an invasive species to Europe and the Americas, [4] the harlequin ladybird (Harmonia ...
Here, the life cycle involves alternation between a haploid and a diploid phase. The life cycle proceeds as follows: Two cells of different mating type fuse and the nuclei undergo karyogamy . This results in a daughter cell with a diploid nucleus, functioning as an ascus , where meiosis occurs to produce haploid ascospores .
In contrast to biotrophs, hemibiotrophs have dual life-styles. The initial biotrophic life-style of hemibiotrophs causes minimum damage to the plant tissues, while the fungus obtains nutrients from living plant tissues [8] Hemibiotrophic fungi require living plant tissue to survive to complete their life cycle.
Cryptoporus volvatus, commonly known as the veiled polypore or cryptic globe fungus, [1] is a polypore fungus that decomposes the rotting sapwood of conifers. It is an after effect of attack by the pine bark beetle. [2] The fungus was originally described by American mycologist Charles Horton Peck in 1875 as Polyporus volvatus. [3]
