The fungus has long been recognised to have antibacterial properties: the addition of the fungus to soup broth was known to prevent it from spoiling for several days. [69] One of the responsible antibiotics, albaflavenone, was isolated in 2011. It is a sesquiterpenoid that was already known from the soil bacterium Streptomyces albidoflavus. [69]
A veil or velum, in mycology, is one of several structures in fungi, especially the thin membrane that covers the cap and stalk of an immature mushroom. [1]
A partial veil, in contrast to a universal veil, extends from the stem surface to the cap edge. The partial veil later disintegrates, once the fruiting body has matured and the spores are ready for dispersal. It might then give rise to a stem ring, or fragments attached to the stem or cap edge. In some mushrooms, both a partial veil and a ...

Albertus Magnus was the first to record it in his work De vegetabilibus some time before 1256, [11] commenting "vocatur fungus muscarum, eo quod in lacte pulverizatus interficit muscas" ("it is called the fly mushroom because it is powdered in milk to kill flies"). [12] Showing the partial veil under the cap dropping away to form a ring around ...
In mycology, a universal veil is a temporary membranous tissue that fully envelops immature fruiting bodies of certain gilled mushrooms. [1] The developing Caesar's mushroom ( Amanita caesarea ), for example, which may resemble a small white sphere at this point, is protected by this structure.
Pendant - a hanging or skirt like partial veil. Peronate - a sheathed stem which may resemble a stocking that covers the full length. Cortinate - a fibrous, cobweb like cortina, especially notable in some Cortinarius species. Ring zone - an area on the stem where only traces of the ring remain, sometimes becoming visible due to spore staining.
1786 illustration. Coprinellus micaceus was illustrated in a woodcut by the 16th-century botanist Carolus Clusius in what is arguably the first published monograph on fungi, the 1601 Rariorum plantarum historia (History of rare plants), in an appendix, [2] [3] Clusius erroneously believed the species to be poisonous, and classified it as a genus of Fungi perniciales (harmful fungi).
