Diagram of a basidiomycete stipe with an annulus and volva. In mycology, a stipe (/ s t aɪ p /) is the stem or stalk-like feature supporting the cap of a mushroom. Like all tissues of the mushroom other than the hymenium, the stipe is composed of sterile hyphal tissue. In many instances, however, the fertile hymenium extends down the stipe ...
Amanita bisporigera is a deadly poisonous species of fungus in the family Amanitaceae.It is commonly known as the eastern destroying angel amanita, [3] the eastern North American destroying angel or just as the destroying angel, although the fungus shares this latter name with three other lethal white Amanita species, A. ocreata, A. verna and A. virosa.
The stipe, or stalk, is 6 to 18 cm (2 + 1 ⁄ 3 to 7 in) tall, and 1 to 2 cm (3 ⁄ 8 to 3 ⁄ 4 in) thick. [20] Due to its swollen, bulbous nature, the base of the stipe can sometimes be as wide as 4 cm (1 + 1 ⁄ 2 in). The stipe is a similar colour to the cap, and covered in wool-like fibrils; [4] purple mycelium can be present at the base. [21]
The stipe is 5.5 to 11 centimetres (2 + 1 ⁄ 4 to 4 + 1 ⁄ 4 in) tall, and 0.5 to 1.5 centimetres (1 ⁄ 4 to 5 ⁄ 8 in) thick with a bulbous base. It is the same colour or slightly paler than the cap, and can have yellow fragments of the veil (cortina) attached to its lower half. [ 8 ]
The stipe is the same color as the cap, often dusted with rusty brown spores, fibrillose, measuring 3–9 by 3–10 mm thick, equal to enlarged near the base. The stipe often has greenish stains near the base. The taste is bitter. [3] Gymnopilus luteofolius spores
The stipe, typically 3–10 cm (1–4 in) long and 1–3 cm (1 ⁄ 2 – 1 + 1 ⁄ 4 in) thick, is either white or the same color as the cap, and is sometimes off-center. [29] It is easy to overlook the mushrooms when they are situated amongst gilled mushrooms and boletes , because the cap and stipe are fairly nondescript and the mushrooms must ...
Stipe: The stipe is 3–7 cm (1 + 1 ⁄ 8 – 2 + 3 ⁄ 4 in) long and 0.5–1 cm thick. [5] It has either an equal structure, or becomes thinner near the base. It is light yellow, bruising rusty brown. The stipe has an evanescent veil which often leaves fragments on the upper part of the stipe [5] or the margin of young caps.
In orchids, the stipe or caudicle is the stalk-like support of the pollinia. It is a non-viscid band or strap connecting the pollinia with the viscidium (the viscid part of the rostellum or beak). A stipe is also a structure found in organisms that are studied by botanists but that are no longer classified as plants.
