that typify the toothed mushrooms . one good way to see the difference is to compare two classic and common wood rotters: the polypore trametes versicolor and the crust fungus stereum ostrea (sometimes called the "turkey tail" and the "false turkey tail," respectively). from above these mushrooms look...
of them, and probably hundreds of undocumented, "cryptic" species. in fact inocybe is often treated less as a genusof mycorrhizal mushrooms than as a mycological rite of passage; if you have not "put a name on" a few inocybes at some point in your life, good luck getting your (myco-) country club membership...
agaric. presumably the brown scales on the whitish cap reminded bulliard of a tiger—perhaps what we might call a leopard these days. the mushroom, he said, is found "in summer and fall in woods on old, rotten trees and more commonly on elms." the elm bulliard had in mind was probably ulmus laevis, the...
collaborators, ; jacobsson, , , ; klan and collaborators, ), painting a rather different portrait of species in thegenus. contemporary dna studies have yet to address thegenus with much sustained focus, to my knowledge (see below). i see this state of affairs as exciting, rather than frustrating,...
" species--those that used to belong in the friesian genus "mycena." most ofthe species are extremely small mushrooms, rarely exceeding a few centimeters in diameter and often only reaching diameters of a few millimeters. they are frequently overlooked, unless they happen to be growing in large clusters...

is "stuffed" and white when young, its finely lined or faintly reticulate stem, its yellow-brown cap, and its stature: the stem is relatively narrow, and often two or three times as long as the cap is wide. it is a member ofthe boletus edulis group—which is another way of saying that it is a true species...
pink scabers on the surface of its stem. it is mycorrhizal --but it appears to be mycorrhizal "generalist," able to form mycorrhizae with a wide variety of trees, including both hardwoods and conifers. in north america, leccinum chromapes is found in the eastern and midwestern united states, in texas...
