Inocybe calamistrata(Fr.) Gillet

Inosperma calamistratum, until 2019 known as Inocybe calamistrata, [1] is an inedible species of Inocybaceae fungus found in Europe and North America. [2] [3] Orson K. Miller Jr. and Hope Miller list it as poisonous. [4] It used to be suspected of being psychotropic because of the blue-green tinge present at the stipe base, but psilocybin and similar alkaloids have not been found in the fruiting bodies. [5]

<i>Fistulina hepatica</i> Species of fungus

Fistulina hepatica, commonly known as the beefsteak fungus, beefsteak polypore, poor man’s steak, ox tongue, or tongue mushroom, is an unusual bracket fungus classified in the Agaricales, that is commonly seen in Britain and the rest of Europe, but which can be found in North America, Australia, North Africa, and Southern Africa. As its name suggests, it looks remarkably similar to a slab of raw meat. It has been used as a meat substitute in the past, and can still be found in some French markets. It has a sour, slightly acidic taste. For eating, it must be collected young and it may be tough and need to be cooked for a long time.

<i>Lactarius deliciosus</i> Species of fungus

Lactarius deliciosus, commonly known as the delicious milk cap, saffron milk cap and red pine mushroom, is one of the best known members of the large milk-cap genus Lactarius in the order Russulales. It is native to Europe, but has been accidentally introduced to other countries along with pine trees, with which the fungus is symbiotic.

<i>Inocybe</i> Genus of fungi

Inocybe is a large genus of mushroom-forming fungi with over 1400 species, including all forms and variations. Members of Inocybe are mycorrhizal, and some evidence shows that the high degree of speciation in the genus is due to adaptation to different trees and perhaps even local environments.

<i>Inocybe hystrix</i> Species of fungus

Inocybe hystrix is an agaric fungus in the family Inocybaceae. It forms mycorrhiza with surrounding deciduous trees. Fruit bodies are usually found growing alone or in small groups on leaf litter during autumn months. Unlike many Inocybe species, Inocybe hystrix is densely covered in brown scales, a characteristic that aids in identification. The mushroom also has a spermatic odour that is especially noticeable when the mushroom is damaged or crushed.

<i>Lentinus tigrinus</i> Species of fungus

Lentinus tigrinus is a mushroom in the Polyporaceae family. It is classified as nonpoisonous. It has been reported that mushrooms have significant antioxidant and antimicrobial activity.

<i>Leucopaxillus gentianeus</i> Species of fungus

Leucopaxillus gentianeus is a bitter-tasting, inedible mushroom commonly known as the bitter false funnelcap, or the bitter brown leucopaxillus. A common synonym is Leucopaxillus amarus. The bitter taste is caused by a triterpene called cucurbitacin B. The species was first described in 1873 as Clitocybe gentianea by French mycologist Lucien Quélet. František Kotlaba transferred it to Leucopaxillus in 1966.

<i>Alloclavaria purpurea</i> Species of fungus

Alloclavaria purpurea is a coral fungus commonly known as the purple coral, or the purple fairy club. Formerly known as Clavaria purpurea, it has been moved to its own genus as a result of phylogenetic analysis.

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Inocybaceae</span> Family of fungi

The Inocybaceae are a family of fungi in the order Agaricales, the largest order of mushroom-forming fungi. It is one of the larger families within Agaricales. This family exhibits an ectomycorrhizal ecology. Members of this family have a widespread distribution in tropical and temperate areas.

<i>Phaeolepiota</i> Family of fungi

Phaeolepiota is a genus of fungi in the family Squamanitaceae. The genus is monotypic, containing the single species Phaeolepiota aurea. Commonly known as golden bootleg or golden cap, P. aurea is an agaric found throughout North America and Eurasia – often in groups and next to nettles. Molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences, shows that Phaeolepiota is close to and may be congeneric with Cystoderma.

<i>Mycena pura</i> Species of fungus

Mycena pura, commonly known as the lilac mycena, lilac bonnet, is a species of mushroom in the family Mycenaceae. First called Agaricus prunus in 1794 by Christian Hendrik Persoon, it was assigned its current name in 1871 by German Paul Kummer. Mycena pura is known to bioaccumulate the element boron.

<i>Cortinarius armillatus</i> Species of fungus

Cortinarius armillatus, commonly known as the red-banded cortinarius or bracelet cortinarius, is a late summer and autumn fungus usually found in moist coniferous forests, especially spruced ones. The species grows rarely in North America, but is common in Europe.

<i>Inosperma cookei</i> Species of fungus

Inosperma cookei, commonly known as the straw fibrecap, is a species of mushroom in the family Inocybaceae. It was first described in 1892 by Giacomo Bresadola, and is named in honour of Mordecai Cubitt Cooke. The species is found in Europe, Asia, and North America. It produces small mushrooms of an ochre colour, with a prominent umbo, fibres on the cap and a distinctive bulb at the base of the stem. It grows from soil in mixed woodland, and is encountered in summer and autumn, though is not common. Ecologically, it feeds through use of ectomycorrhiza. Inosperma cookei has been described as both toxic and non-toxic, but either way, is not advised for consumption.

<i>Inocybe praetervisa</i> Species of fungus

Inocybe praetervisa is a small, yellow and brown mushroom in the family Inocybaceae, distinguished from other members of the genus by its unusual spores and bulb. The unusual spores led to the species being named the type species of the now-abandoned genus Astrosporina; recent studies have shown that such a genus could not exist, as the species with the defining traits do not form a monophyletic group. However, it is a part of several clades within the genus Inocybe. I. praetervisa grows on the ground in woodland, favouring beech trees, and is found in Europe, North America and Asia. It is inedible and probably poisonous due to the presence of muscarine. The ingestion of muscarine can lead to SLUDGE syndrome, and could potentially lead to death due to respiratory failure.

<i>Connopus</i> Genus of fungi

Connopus is a fungal genus in the family Omphalotaceae. The monotypic genus was circumscribed in 2010 to accommodate the species Connopus acervatus, formerly in the genus Gymnopus. It is found in North American and Europe, where it grows in dense clusters on decaying wood. It is regarded as inedible.

<i>Cantharellula umbonata</i> Species of fungus

Cantharellula umbonata, the humpback, is a species of fungus in the genus Cantharellula. It is common in eastern North America, particularly in summer and autumn. It is associated with Polytrichum and other mosses found in the southeastern United States. It is edible, and best when young.

<i>Tylopilus rubrobrunneus</i> Species of fungus

Tylopilus rubrobrunneus, commonly known as the reddish brown bitter bolete, is a bolete fungus in the family Boletaceae. It was first described scientifically in 1967 by Samuel J. Mazzer and Alexander H. Smith from collections made in Michigan. It is found in the United States; the bolete was reported from a Mexican beech forest in Hidalgo, Mexico in 2010.

<i>Cortinarius alboviolaceus</i> Species of fungus

Cortinarius alboviolaceus is a basidiomycete mushroom of the genus Cortinarius native to Europe and North America.

<i>Amanita excelsa</i> Species of fungus

Amanita excelsa, also known as the European false blushing amanita, is a species of agaric fungus in the family Amanitaceae. It is found in Asia, Europe, and North America, where it grows in deciduous forests.

<i>Inocybe rimosa</i> Species of fungus

Inocybe rimosa, commonly known as straw-colored fiber head, is a poisonous mushroom native to Europe. Its toxic ingredient is muscarine, discovered during the 1930s. Serious poisoning can result from consuming any quantity of the mushroom.

<i>Pholiota squarrosoides</i> Species of fungus

Pholiota squarrosoides is a species of mushroom in the family Strophariaceae. It is similar to the species Pholiota squarrosa. There are differing accounts on whether the mushroom is edible.
