Lamella (mycology)
In
It was originally believed that all gilled fungi were
Other groups of fungi to bear gills include:
- The genera Lactarius of the Russulales.
- Several genera in the Paxillus atrotomentosus) and other species in that genus, the False chanterelle (Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca).
- Such polypore-like fungi such as Lenzites betulina and Gloeophyllum sepiarium.
Members of the two related genera of chanterelles, Cantharellus and Craterellus, have rudimentary lamellar structures which are sometimes referred to as "false gills". They are distinguished from "true gills" because the structure of the fertile surface ("hymenium") continues uninterrupted over the gill edge, so they are little more than folds, wrinkles or veins.[1] The genus Gomphus also has false gills. These primitive lamellae indicate how the evolution towards true gills probably happened.[2]
Lamellula (pl.: lamellulae) are partial gills that do not reach the stipe.[3]
Classification
Morphologically, gills are classified according to their attachment to the stipe:
-
Adnate -
Adnexed -
Decurrent -
Emarginate -
Free -
Seceding -
Sinuate -
Subdecurrent
