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 ...
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 .
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 ...
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.
Many species of mushrooms seemingly appear overnight, growing or expanding rapidly. This phenomenon is the source of several common expressions in the English language including "to mushroom" or "mushrooming" (expanding rapidly in size or scope) and "to pop up like a mushroom" (to appear unexpectedly and quickly). In reality, all species of ...
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 ...
The margin is ocher and remains inrolled until the mushroom is fully mature. The flesh of the mushroom is yellow-white, thick and firm, with a mild to sour odor. [4] The gills are rusty brown, adnate [4] and slightly decurrent. The stalk is 8–20 cm (3–8 in) thick, 4–10 cm wide, and bulbous at the base. [4]
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.
