BASKET FUNGUS BASKET FUNGUS Ileodictyon cibarium Basket fungus is a species of fungi in the Phallaceae, or stinkhorn, family. The immature fruiting bodies look somewhat like to an egg; the mature form is shaped like a round or oval ‘basket’ with white lattice-like branches. The basket may be anywhere between 5-25cm across, and its latticed branches about 1cm in diameter. The inner surfaces are covered in a stinky layer of brown slime (gleba) which carries the spores. The smell helps to attract flies and other insects, which disperse the spores. Basket fungus is widespread throughout the country, commonly appearing after rain. The fungus may grow on its own or in clusters on lawns, in garden soil, on woodchip piles and in leaf litter. BASKET FUNGUS PRODUCT RECOMMENDATIONS Shop the Kings online store for all your gardening needs IS IT POISONOUS? The smell of the mature fruiting body may be offensive to the nose, but the basket fungus is neither harmful nor poisonous, and can be consumed. This is a saprobic fungus, meaning it breaks down non-living organic matter. It aids the decomposition of rotting material so that plants can use for nourishment. PREVENTION Like other saprobic fungi species, basket fungus requires a consistent supply of dead organic matter to sustain its production. To prevent, remove any garden debris, stumps with dead roots and piles of hardwood mulch. Remove the egg-like structures from the soil before they have a chance to mature into above-ground fruiting bodies (baskets). Mark the area where you have removed them, and check again for more immature bodies later in the year..

Some Gasteromycetes from Eastern Africa
J. E. Afr. nat. Hist. Soc. Vol. XXVI No.2 (114) PageS SOME GASTEROMYCETES FROM EASTERN AFRICA By D. M. DRING and R. W. RAYNER INTRODUCTION During recent months a number of collectors have sent gatherings of gasteromycete fungi from E. Africa to the Kew Herbarium. This paper has been written to record the results of their collecting as well as to give them, and other workers in the area, an admittedly incomplete but, it is hoped, useful guide to the puffballs and their aIlies in the East African region. Recently collected material has been supplemented by studies of the older collections in Kew (K) and elsewhere, particularly the E. African Herbarium (EA). Though this study is centred on E. Africa in a restricted sense we have also included some material from Malawi, Zambia, Rhodesia and Mozambique where considered appropriate. In a like manner Somalia has also been included. Perhaps, however, it is more important to note that we have also included the rather few gasteromycetes which we have examined from the Mascarene Islands. Though their nearest mainland is the east coast of Africa, these islands are known to have strong floristic affinities with Asia and Australasia rather than with Africa. So that, unless there is evidence to the contrary it should not be assumed that species recorded from these islands will occur on the African mainland. The colour names used, excepting those describing microscopic characters, are based on Dade, Colour Terminology in Biology ed. II, Mycol. Pap. 6, 1949. COLLECTING Gasteromycetes are easy to collect and preserve. All except Oathraceae and Phallaceae should simply be dried quickly and placed in boxes or packets with the usual data on place of collection, date, etc.

Bento Gonçalves 9500, Porto Alegre, Rio Grande do Sul, Brazil *Correspondence to [email protected] Abstract — Two species in the Phallales (Agaricomycetes), Laternea pusilla and Lysurus cruciatus, are recorded as new to Chile. We also present a discussion and a key to the phalloid species known to occur in the country. Key words — Clathrus, gasteromycetes, Ileodictyon, Phallus, stinkhorns Introduction Phalloid fungi, commonly known as stinkhorns, may produce basidiomata with very distinct morphologies, but all are characterized by an ovoid structure during the immature stage. Most species produce an expanded basidiome when mature, but others (e.g., in Protubera Möller, Claustula K.M. Curtis, Gelopellis Zeller, maintain the glebal tissue enclosed by the peridium in a sequestrate structure. The gleba is usually mucilaginous and fetid, which facilitates the spores’ dispersion by insects. Phallales E. Fisch. is traditionally classified in two families, mainly based on basidiome development and morphology: Clathraceae Chevall. and Phallaceae Corda (Fischer 1898-99, Pilát 1958, Kirk et al. 2008). Recent sequence analyses support these two families as monophyletic clades, but four additional families are accepted: Claustulaceae G. Cunn., Lysuraceae Corda, Protophallaceae Zeller, and Trappeaceae P.M.

The Taxonomy of Life Taxonomy Is the Practice and Science of Classifying LIFE Life Forms
The Taxonomy of Life Taxonomy is the practice and science of classifying LIFE life forms. DOMAIN KINGDOM PHYLUM CLASS ORDER FAMILY There are 8 main GENUS axonomic ranks: t SPECIES The Domains of life Life forms are divided into two broad Domains: the prokaryotes and the eukaryotes. Prokaryotes have small, simple cells that do not contain a cell nucleus. They are often considered to be very primitive organisms – some of the fi rst to have evolved. Yet they are remarkably hardy and have persisted until today. Some have evolved to live in very extreme environments. Eukaryotes are characterised by more complex cell structures. Each cell contains a nucleus and often other ‘organelles’ that perform specifi c functions. Kingdom As modern DNA techniques enable biologists to understand so much more about life on earth, scientists are discovering that life is far more complicated than previously thought. This is particularly true of the small microbial forms of life, and some forms of ‘fungi’. While there is on-going debate about the 2 or 3 microbial Kingdoms, biologists agree on the three higher Kingdoms – Plants, Animals and Fungi. Phylum Phylum groups organisms based on both their general body plan and how internal organs develop, which tends to refl ect their evolution. Phyla (the plural of Phylum) may be hard to guess … for example, seemingly different-looking, spiders and crabs both belong to the Phylum Arthropoda ; whereas earthworms and tapeworms are similar in shape but are from different Phyla. Humans belong to the Phylum Chordata, which refers to animals who (for at least some period of their life cycle) have a hollow dorsal nerve cord, some particular mouth and throat structures for feeding and breathing, and a post-anal tail.

Studies in Fungi 4(1), 162–184, Doi 10.5943/sif/4/1/19 Abstract An illustrated and annotated checklist with key to 24 species of phalloids known to occur in Southern Brazil (States of Paraná, Santa Catarina and Rio Grande do Sul) are presented. The species belong to the orders Clathraceae, Claustulaceae, Lysuraceae, Phallaceae and Protophallaceae. Doubtful species are also discussed. Abrachium floriforme and Staheliomyces cinctus are the first reports from Southern Brazil and Laternea pusilla is new to the State of Santa Catarina. Key words – Brazilian mycota – fungal taxonomy – phalloid fungi – Phallomycetidae – stinkhorns Introduction Members of Phallales (Phallomycetidae, Agaricomycetes) show great variability in size, shape and color. Some species, due to bizarre shape allied to bright colors, call the attention not only of mycologists, but also of people in general. Traditionally the order included species with expanded receptacle, commonly known as stinkhorns (e.g. species of Phallus Junius ex L. and Mutinus Fr.) or lattice stinkhorns (Clathrus P. Micheli ex L. spp.), but since the sequestrate genus Claustula K.M. Curtis (Cunningham 1931) was added to the order, many other truffle-like genera have been included, such as Protubera Möller, Gelopellis Zeller, Kjeldsenia W.

Genes from ATPase subunit 6 (atp6), the nuclear large subunit ribosomal DNA (nuc-LSU), and the second largest RNA polymerase II subunit (RPB2) underwent Bayesian and parsimony molecular analyses. Molecular datasets, combined with morphological characters, support a new genus (Abrachium for Aseroe ﬂoriformis), reassessment of Itajahya, and emendation of Clathraceae. Key words — Phallomycetidae, gasteroid fungi, neotropics, phylogeny, evolution Introduction Fischer (1898-99) established the order Phallales, initially composed of two families, Clathraceae and Phallaceae, to separate representatives with branched and unbranched basidiomata. Clathraceae, established by Chevallier (1826), encompasses the “lattice stinkhorns”, fungi that exhibit a peculiar basidioma featuring tubular or mucilaginous arms either interconnected or intertwined in a network or comprising a receptacle with vertical arms either connected at the top or arched in the shape of a star (Miller & Miller 1988). Pegler & Gomez (1994) included twelve genera within the family (Blumenavia, Linderiella, Pseudocolus, Anthurus, Aseroe, Lysurus, Clathrus, Ileodictyon, Simblum, Colus, Neolysurus and Kalchbrennera).

Ileodictyon Cibarium Tul. Ex M. Raoul, 1844
Ileodictyon cibarium Tul. ex M. Raoul, 1844 Common Name: Basket Fungus, Lattice Fungus. Description: A white, open-lattice ball, diameter to 250 mm, often detaching from the volva upon full maturity. Egg: Dirty white, smooth-skinned with dimples reflecting the net-like structure of the not-yet expanded arms within, up to 70 mm diameter, with white rhizomorphs at the base. The egg remnants are seen as a whitish volva at the base, however, the receptacle often detaches from this and may be carried by the wind for some distance from its place of origin. © Bernard Spragg Stipe: None. Arms: The arms are joined to create a net or mesh that forms a cage-like structure. If there are a lot of arms, there may be up to 30 fairly regular polygonal-shaped spaces in the net. The arms may join so symmetrically that, if the receptacle detaches from the volva, it is not possible to tell the top from the bottom. However, fewer arms mean fewer spaces and those spaces will be more uneven in size and more angular in shape. There is no noticeable thickening in the places where the arms join. Translucent white, brittle and spongy in texture, up to 1cm wide and elliptical in cross- section, marked with creases which show the way the receptacle unfolded, concertina-like, from the egg. The surfaces may be smooth or wrinkled across the width; the outer surface may also be pitted or grooved along the length. There is some variation in the internal structure of the arms. Some have a single tube that runs the length of the arm, or two tubes or, in rare cases, three tubes running side by side.
