The following list of bioluminescent mushrooms is based on a 2008 literature survey by Dennis Desjardin and colleagues, [11] in addition to accounts of several new species published since then. [12] [13] [14] [15]
Most fungi can produce asexually and sexually. Currently, sexual selection has been studied to occur more predominantly in the Ascomycota and Basidiomycota phyla. Although different sexes are not present within fungi, sexual selection can act due to the presence of different sex roles as well as different mating types as most fungi are hermaphroditic. [1]
Heterothallism is the most common mating system in Basidiomycota and in Agaricomycotina (the mushroom-forming fungi) about 90% of the species are heterothallic. [22] The tetrapolar type of mating system is ruled by two unlinked mating loci termed A and B (in Agaricomycotina) or b and a (in Ustilaginomycotina and Pucciniomycotina ), both of ...
Typically, these chytrids practice a version of oogamy: The male is motile and the female is stationary. This is the first occurrence of oogamy in kingdom Fungi. [ 3 ] Briefly, the monoblephs form oogonia, which give rise to eggs, and antheridia, which give rise to male gametes.
The rehydrated mushroom can also be stuffed and cooked. [53] Phallus indusiatus has been cultivated on a commercial scale in China since 1979. [49] In the Fujian Province of China—known for a thriving mushroom industry that cultivates 45 species of edible fungi—P. indusiatus is produced in the counties of Fuan, Jianou, and Ningde. [54]
Xeromphalina campanella is a species of mushroom. The common names of the species include the golden trumpet and the bell Omphalina. The genus name Xeromphalina means "little dry navel" and campanella means "bell-shaped", respectively describing the mature and young shapes of the pileus, or cap. [2] The mushroom is also called fuzzy-foot. [3]
Adult female marbled orbweavers have a body length of up to 14 mm or more, with a very large oval, sub-spherical abdomen. Adult males are smaller, with a body length of up to 7 mm. Two main color forms are found. A. marmoreus var. marmoreus has an orange abdomen with brown to black marbling. It usually has a distinct folium with dark edging.
The mushroom is stalkless and the cap is rust-brown or darker brown, sometimes with black zones. The cap is flat, up to 8 × 5 × 0.5–1 cm in area. It is often triangular or round, with zones of fine hairs. The pore surface is whitish to light brown, with pores round and with age twisted and labyrinthine. 3–8 pores per millimeter.
