Mushroom Observer is a collaborative mycology website started by Nathan Wilson in 2006. [1] Its purpose is to "record observations about mushrooms , help people identify mushrooms they aren't familiar with, and expand the community around the scientific exploration of mushrooms" .
The genus Filobasidiella forms basidia on hyphae but the main infectious stage is more commonly known by the anamorphic yeast name Cryptococcus, e.g. Cryptococcus neoformans [19] and Cryptococcus gattii. [18] The dimorphic Basidiomycota with yeast stages and the pleiomorphic rusts are examples of fungi with anamorphs, which are the asexual ...

Marasmius siccus, or orange pinwheel, [1] is a small orange mushroom in the Marasmius genus, with a "beach umbrella"-shaped cap. The tough shiny bare stem is pale at the top but reddish brown below, and the gills are whitish.
