Fungi which do not open up to let their spores be dispersed in the air, but which show a clear morphological relation to agarics or boletes, constitute an intermediate form and are called secotioid. [2]

If you’ve read any of our other posts, you probably know by now that two distinct morphologies – agaricoid and secotioid – exist within the species Lentinus tigrinus. One of the first questions that follows is, “What’s causing it?”

The second form, which we call secotioid, is smooth or rippled underneath; the gills have been covered by an outer layer of pale tissue to form a continuous membrane. Spores still develop on the enclosed gill tissue, but the membrane traps them inside the mushroom.

Lentinus tigrinus is a species of wood-decaying fungi (Polyporales) that has an agaricoid form (a gilled mushroom) and a secotioid form (puffball-like, with enclosed spore-bearing structures). Previous studies suggested that the secotioid form is conferred by a …

A fruiting body is called secotioid when its structure is that of a "normal" mushroom that just never opened (and, often, never totally breaks out of the ground). Both boletes and gilled mushrooms have secotioid forms.

Lentinus tigrinus is a wood-decaying mushroom that has both a secotioid and an agaricoid form. We examined ontogeny and heritability of the secotioid phenotype in L. tigrinus with a combination of formal genetic crosses, scanning electron microscopy, and macroscopic observation of …

May 22, 2019 · Since the time of its description nearly 100 years ago (Velenovský 1930), the genus Galeropsis has long been regarded by the unanimous opinion of mycologists as a rather unique group of secotioid fungi (Zeller 1943; Pilát 1948; Singer 1963; Thiers and Watling 1971; Gorovoi and Batyrova 1986).

Secotioid fungi resemble gasteromycetes, but are presumably closely related to agaricoid fungi. Lentinus tigrinus is a wood-decaying mushroom that has both a secotioid and an agaricoid form. We examined ontogeny and heritability of the secotioid

Dec 18, 2013 · Fieldwork in Australia and western North America, however, has revealed two novel secotioid forms of Inocybe (Fr.) Fr., the first to be formally described in the genus.

Jun 1, 2019 · Despite the recent mycologists’ interest in relationships between gasteroid taxa and agaricoid Basidiomycetes lineages and an intensive debate on the evolution of enigmatic secotioid fungi,...
