Ischnoderma resinosum is a species of fungus in the family Fomitopsidaceae.Commonly known as the late fall polypore, resinous polypore, or benzoin bracket, this shelf mushroom is 7–25 cm (3–10 in) across, velvety, dark red/brown, darkening and forming zones in age. [1]
Hypholoma lateritium, sometimes called brick cap, chestnut mushroom, [1] cinnamon cap, brick top, red woodlover or kuritake, [2] is a fungal species in the genus Hypholoma, which also contains the poisonous species Hypholoma fasciculare and the edible Hypholoma capnoides. Its fruiting bodies are generally larger than either of these.
Natural and artificial variations (e.g. growing conditions and preparation) can also effect the species' medicinal value. [citation needed] Studies in mice have shown that G. tsugae shows several potential medicinal benefits including anti-tumor activity through some of the active polysaccharides found in G. tsugae.
Macrocybe titans form solid, large mushrooms that grow in clumps. The cap is from 8–50 centimetres (3.1–20 in) across, with rare specimens up to 100 centimetres (40 in) in diameter. The cap is from 8–50 centimetres (3.1–20 in) across, with rare specimens up to 100 centimetres (40 in) in diameter.
The stem can grow to 6 cm tall but is only up to 2 mm in diameter. It is bald and pale at the apex, reddish brown lower down, and dark brown or blackish at the base. The smell and taste are strongly of garlic. The spores are roughly ellipsoid and measure 7–11 μm x 3–5 μm.
Psilocybe caerulescens, also known as landslide mushroom ("derrumbe" in Spanish), is a psilocybin mushroom having psilocybin and psilocin as main active compounds. Along with Psilocybe mexicana and Psilocybe aztecorum, it is one of the mushrooms likely to have been used by the Aztecs and is currently used by Mazatec shamans for its entheogenic properties.
Agaricus silvicola, also known as the wood mushroom or woodland agaricus, [1] is a species of Agaricus mushroom related to the button mushroom. A. silvicola is a member of Agaricus section Arvenses, a group of morphologically similar mushrooms. [2]
Stipe: 4—10 cm, 0.5–3 cm thick, equal to slightly enlarging below, solid, firm, colored like the cap, developing yellowish-rusty stains when handled, finely hairy, partial veil usually forms a fragile submembraneous ring or fibrillose annular zone near the apex. Staining orange-brownish or sometimes bluish-green where injured or in age.
