A 2008 molecular phylogenetic study clarified the relationships among the mushroom-forming species of the family. [15] The authors demonstrated the existence of four distinct lineages of gilled mushrooms, which led to the description of Multifurca as a new genus separated from Russula [15] and the segregation of Lactifluus from Lactarius. [16] [17]
A 3–10% solution of potassium hydroxide (KOH) gives a color change in some species of mushrooms: In Agaricus, some species such as A. xanthodermus turn yellow with KOH, many have no reaction, and A. subrutilescens turns green. Distinctive change occurs for some species of Cortinarius and Boletes
A printable chart to make a spore print and start identification. The spore print is the powdery deposit obtained by allowing spores of a fungal fruit body to fall onto a surface underneath. It is an important diagnostic character in most handbooks for identifying mushrooms. It shows the colour of the mushroom spores if viewed en masse. [1]
Russula is a very large genus composed of around 750 worldwide species of ectomycorrhizal mushrooms. They are typically common, fairly large, and brightly colored – making them one of the most recognizable genera among mycologists and mushroom collectors.
The stem is up to 12 cm (4 + 3 ⁄ 4 in) tall, 1–3 cm (3 ⁄ 8 – 1 + 1 ⁄ 8 in) thick, [9] and swollen toward the base. The stem surface is red or yellowish with red lines, often white or yellow at the base, and solid (that is, not hollow), with fibrous flesh; in maturity the stem ages to yellowish-red to dark red.

Identifying death caps and what to do with them One of the most noticeable features of any mushroom in the Amanita genus is the universal veil, a membranous tissue from which the fungi emerge.
No matter how experienced you are, if you aren’t 100% sure of a mushroom’s identification, don’t eat it. Morel mushrooms have returned to WA. What to know, how to avoid ‘poisonous’ lookalike
Hygrocybe coccinea, sometimes called the scarlet hood, scarlet waxcap or righteous red waxy cap, is a colourful member of the mushroom genus Hygrocybe. These waxcaps are found across the Northern Hemisphere from China and Japan to Europe and North America. The small bright red mushroom is a familiar sight in unimproved grasslands in Europe in ...
