"This Hygrophorus is characterized by its small, whitish to pale buff basidiomes , its decurrent gills and its strong odor of Russian leather."
Oh nice, that's totally something I have a lot of experience with, I go to Kamchatka to sniff leather jackets every summer"

OH okay so it turns out p. ostreatus or oyster mushrooms are already being used in mycoremediation for some heavy metals which I find so cool!! paper here: www.researchgate.net/publication/...

but actually p. eryngii was superior at lead specifically! pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC...

To be able to protect endangered fungi, we first need to know where they are located.

New work in Fungal Ecology clarifies the current and future distribution of the critically endangered polypore Wrightoporia araucariae in Brazil.

www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...
Macroscopic and microscopic features of Wrightoporia araucariae (ICN 154335, holotype) and Antrodia sp. (FLOR 69074). (A, B) Basidiomes of W. araucariae (A) and Antrodia sp. (B) (scale bars = 2 cm); (C, D). Pore surface view of W. araucariae (C) and Antrodia sp. (D) (scale bars = 5 mm); (E). Original label and reassignment of FLOR 69074; (F, G, I). Basidiospores of W. araucariae (F) (basidiospores globose to subglobose), IKI+ in Melzer's reagent, and Antrodia sp. (H, I) (basidiospores ellipsoids), IKI- in Melzer's (I), in light microscopy (scale bars = 10 μm); (G, J) Longitudinal section of W. araucariae (G) and Antrodia sp.’s (J) tubes in light microscopy, showing strongly dextrinoid skeletal hyphae (G) and the absence of dextrinoid reaction (J) (scale bars = 10 μm).
