Gilled Fungi: Mycena sp.
Agaric Mushrooms and Toadstools
The fungi that produce what most
people would call the classic 'mushrooms' and 'toadstools', with a stalk and
cap, are found mainly in a group often referred to as the 'aragics'. Most of
these have feathery soft gills on the underside of the cap (right). This group
includes the regular common cultivated mushrooms that we eat. The range is of
course enormous, for they can be tiny or huge, and any colour imaginable. One of
the bioluminescent fungi in the wet tropics, Mycena chlorophanos, belongs
to this group. |
