Russula virescens is a basidiomycete mushroom of the genus Russula, and is commonly known as the green-cracking russula, the quilted green russula, or the green brittlegill. It can be recognized by its distinctive pale green cap that measures up to 15 cm (6 in) in diameter, the surface of which is covered with darker green angular patches.
Russula aeruginea, also known as the grass-green russula, the tacky green russula, or the green russula, is an edible Russula mushroom. Widely distributed in northern temperate regions, it is usually found under birch, mostly in pine forests. The very poisonous death cap can have a similar appearance, especially from above.
Russula cyanoxantha – high quality edible with blue to greenish cap, mild taste and white, greasy gills. Russula emetica; Russula subnigricans – a poisonous mushroom causing rhabdomyolysis in Japan, China, and Taiwan. Russula virescens – an excellent edible, recognizable by the green and distinctly crackled cap cuticle;
The gills are composed of comb-like filaments, the gill lamellae, which help increase their surface area for oxygen exchange. [5] When a fish breathes, it draws in a mouthful of water at regular intervals. Then it draws the sides of its throat together, forcing the water through the gill openings, so it passes over the gills to the outside.
The greengill sunfish (Lepomis macrochirus × cyanellus) is sometimes referred to as hybrid sunfish or bluegill x green sunfish hybrid. It is a hybrid between a bluegill (Lepomis macrochirus) and green sunfish (Lepomis cyanellus). [1] They can sometimes be found in ponds, lakes, or streams where there is both bluegill and green sunfish.
The yellow segment stains dark green to black with Melzer's reagent. [6] The whitish flesh may have a wine-coloured tinge and has little taste or smell. The widely spaced decurrent gills are waxy in texture, with a hairy surface from the cystidia. [7] Sometimes branched, they are initially whitish, then grey and later blackening with spores.
The gills and stem are white with no ring. Full grown specimens have blue-green, flowery, cup-shaped caps; the gills are creamy white, or reflect the blue-green color of the cap. The cap's surface feels rough. The stem is thick, is attached to the gills with no rings, and is textured, with a pale-yellow colour.
Its external gills are located near its rear. Its body is covered in papillae, fleshy protuberances used for sensory functions, giving it the appearance of a furry animal. [4] There are multiple colorations of Jorunna parva, including yellow, white, and green, though the latter is rarely photographed. [5]
