Danny’s DNA Discoveries – Gloeophyllales of the PNW
|
Introduction
While most polypores (the pale fleshed ones) are found in the Polyporales, and some dark fleshed polypores are in a second order, the Hymenochaetales, there are a few dark fleshed polypores left over for this third order. Like the other two orders, gilled mushrooms are found here too, even a "gilled polypore". Of course, every order has crusts in it, and this is no exception. Gloeophyllum s.l. (Gloeophyllum, Osmoporus and Griseopora) - a few dark fleshed polypores, including some with gills. Neolentinus and Heliocybe - gilled mushrooms growing on wood with decurrent gills and serrated gill edges all like Lentinellus, but unlike Lentinellus, Neolentinus might have a more regular, central stem >5 mm thick. Heliocybe has a thin central stem, but it is the very distinctive sunray mushroom. Veluticeps s.l. (Veluticeps and Columnocystis) - reflexed crusts with a grey fertile surface on conifers. abundant common uncommon rare - colour codes match my Pictorial Key and are my opinions and probably reflect my bias of living in W WA. Rare species may be locally common in certain places at certain times. Click here to download the FASTA data of all my DNA sequences |
