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 .
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.
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 ...
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.
Lactarius indigo, commonly known as the indigo milk cap, indigo milky, indigo lactarius, blue lactarius, or blue milk mushroom, is a species of agaric fungus in the family Russulaceae. The fruit body color ranges from dark blue in fresh specimens to pale blue-gray in older ones.
As normal in the genus Amanita, the gills are whitish and free from the stem and the spores are white. The gills darken when bruised. [11] The stem is 5–12 cm high and 0.6–1.5 cm thick, with a basal bulb which may [7] [8] [9] or may not [10] be surrounded by a white membranous volva. [6] The fragile ring is grey-violet [7] [8] or blackened ...
Gymnopus fusipes (formerly often called Collybia fusipes) is a parasitic species of gilled mushroom which is quite common in Europe and often grows in large clumps. It is variable but easy to recognize because the stipe soon becomes distinctively tough, bloated and ridged.
