The mushroom may be edible to some while others may find its taste acidic even after cooking. [4] The species has been known to cause gastric upset in some people. [9] The author David Arora said the species tastes the same as Suillus fuscotomentosus. [5]
Russula is a very large genus composed of around 750 worldwide species of ectomycorrhizal mushrooms. They are typically common, fairly large, and brightly colored – making them one of the most recognizable genera among mycologists and mushroom collectors.
As the mushroom matures, the pressure caused by the enlargement of the internal structures cause the peridium to tear and the fruit body rapidly emerges from the "egg". The mature mushroom is up to 25 cm (10 in) tall and girded with a net-like structure called the indusium (or less technically a "skirt") that hangs down from the conical to bell ...
Phallus impudicus, known colloquially as the common stinkhorn, [2] is a widespread fungus in the Phallaceae (stinkhorn) family. It is recognizable for its foul odor and its phallic shape when mature, the latter feature giving rise to several names in 17th-century England.
Lactarius is a genus of mushroom-producing, ectomycorrhizal fungi, containing several edible species. The species of the genus, commonly known as milk-caps, are characterized by the milky fluid ("latex") they exude when cut or damaged.
Young mushrooms have a membranous partial veil extending from the upper stem to the cap margin; as the mushroom grows, the partial veil tears to leave a flimsy, skirt-like, easily lost ring on the stem. At the base of the stem is a white volva (a remnant of the universal veil that covered the immature mushroom) that usually forms a small, free rim.
The results showed no genetic differences between G. marginata and G. autumnalis, G. oregonensis, G. unicolor, and G. venenata, thus reducing all these names to synonymy. [1] The oldest of these names are Agaricus marginatus , described by August Batsch in 1789, [ 2 ] and Agaricus unicolor , described by Martin Vahl in 1792. [ 3 ]
Panaeolus papilionaceus, also known as Agaricus calosus, Panaeolus campanulatus, Panaeolus retirugis, [1] and Panaeolus sphinctrinus, [1] and commonly known as Petticoat mottlegill, is a very common and widely distributed little brown mushroom that feeds on dung. This mushroom is the type species for the genus Panaeolus.
