In mycology, a stipe (/ s t aɪ p /) is the stem or stalk-like feature supporting the cap of a mushroom. Like all tissues of the mushroom other than the hymenium, the stipe is composed of sterile hyphal tissue. In many instances, however, the fertile hymenium extends down the stipe some distance. Fungi that have stipes are said to be stipitate. [1]
The fruit bodies of Favolus fungi are annual, and have a stipe that is situated laterally to substipitate or almost sessile. The shape of the cap is spatulate (with a broad, rounded end), reniform (kidney shaped) to dimidiate (divided into two equal parts). The texture of the cap surface can be smooth, or may have minute hairs, sometimes with ...
The stipe, or stalk, is 6 to 18 cm (2 + 1 ⁄ 3 to 7 in) tall, and 1 to 2 cm (3 ⁄ 8 to 3 ⁄ 4 in) thick. [20] Due to its swollen, bulbous nature, the base of the stipe can sometimes be as wide as 4 cm (1 + 1 ⁄ 2 in). The stipe is a similar colour to the cap, and covered in wool-like fibrils; [4] purple mycelium can be present at the base. [21]
A stipe is also a structure found in organisms that are studied by botanists but that are no longer classified as plants. It may be the stem-like part of the thallus of a mushroom or a seaweed , and is particularly common among brown algae such as kelp.
The stipe is 3–8 cm long and 2.5–4 cm thick. It is initially white but develops yellowish-brownish discolorations with age. [10] The mushroom sometimes develops a pale green band at the top of the stipe. [11] The spore print is white to light cream. [10]
The stipe is white, 3 to 4 centimetres (1 + 1 ⁄ 8 to 1 + 5 ⁄ 8 in) long and 1 to 2 cm (3 ⁄ 8 to 3 ⁄ 4 in) thick at the apex; when young the base of the stipe is bulbous but as it grows it thins and becomes almost the same width as at the top of the stem. A membranous annulus is present, placed low on the stipe. The mushroom has ...
The stipe is 5.5 to 11 centimetres (2 + 1 ⁄ 4 to 4 + 1 ⁄ 4 in) tall, and 0.5 to 1.5 centimetres (1 ⁄ 4 to 5 ⁄ 8 in) thick with a bulbous base. It is the same colour or slightly paler than the cap, and can have yellow fragments of the veil (cortina) attached to its lower half. [ 8 ]
Phellodon is a genus of tooth fungi in the family Bankeraceae. Species have small- to medium-sized fruitbodies with white spines on the underside from which spores are released. All Phellodon have a short stalk or stipe, and so the genus falls into the group known as stipitate hydnoid
