A printable chart to make a spore print and start identification. The spore print is the powdery deposit obtained by allowing spores of a fungal fruit body to fall onto a surface underneath. It is an important diagnostic character in most handbooks for identifying mushrooms. It shows the colour of the mushroom spores if viewed en masse.
Diagram of a basidiomycete stipe with an annulus and volva. 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 ...
The stipe is 6–19 cm long and 0.5–1.0 cm thick, lateral, dorsolateral or eccentric, cylindrical or flattened: the same color as the pileus and also laccate. Context tissue is 1–5 mm thick, uniformly brown or red brown near the tube layer or with whitish streaks and patches near the cutis.
Its cap is convex, measuring 3.5–10 centimetres (1 + 1 ⁄ 2 –4 inches) across, and the stipe is 8–20 cm (3–8 in) long. The spore print is white. Originally described from Texas but today found in ten states of North America, the mushroom grows in lawns, pastures and prairies.
Ganoderma sessile was distinguished based on a sessile fruiting habit, common on hardwood substrates and occasionally having a reduced, eccentric or "wanting" stipe. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] In 1908, Atkinson considered G. tsugae and G. sessile as synonyms of G. lucidum, but erected the species G. subperforatum from a single collection in Ohio on the basis ...
The variety B. b. glaber has a smooth stipe, and smaller pleurocystidia (35–40 by 10–15 μm) and cheilocystidia (25–30 by 9–12 μm). [17] Several chemical tests can be used to help identify the mushroom. A drop of ammonium hydroxide solution turns the cap cuticle a greenish to bluish colour.
Sutorius eximius, commonly known as the lilac-brown bolete, is a species of fungus in the family Boletaceae.Originally described in 1874 as a species of Boletus, the fungus has also been classified in the genus Leccinum because of the scabers on the stipe, or in Tylopilus because of the color of the spore print.
The gills are initially pink, then red-brown and finally a dark brown, as is the spore print. The stipe is 3 to 10 cm (1 + 1 ⁄ 4 to 4 in) tall, [5] 1–2 cm wide, [4] predominantly white and bears a single thin ring. [6] The taste is mild.
