List of Armillaria species

Source: Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Several groups of shaggy yellowish mushrooms growing on the ground in a forest. Some mushrooms have small convex caps, others with larger expanded caps and a skirt-like ring on the stem.
A. mellea is the type species of the genus Armillaria.

classified in the family Physalacriaceae of the Agaricales, the gilled mushrooms.[2] The majority of species in Armillaria are saprotrophic and live mainly on dead wood, but some are parasites that can cause root and butt rot in over 600 species of woody plants.[3] Some Armillaria species form mycorrhizae with orchids;[4] others, such as A. gallica, A. mellea, and A. tabescens, are bioluminescent.[5]

Armillaria species form fleshy, white-

rhizomorphs—rootlike aggregations of hyphae—that can form massive, long-lasting underground networks. The growth of the rhizomorph networks allows for tree-to-tree spread of the fungus even when direct contact between diseased and healthy plants is not possible.[6]

The genus once served as a

synonym Armillariella. A comprehensive 1995 study by Tom Volk and Harold Burdsall evaluated all of the epithets that have been used in Armillaria or Armillariella. They determined that about 40 species belong to Armillaria sensu stricto (in the strict sense); the remaining names belong to species that are distributed among 43 other modern fungal genera.[7]

Many species are difficult or impossible to distinguish from each other using observable characteristics; laboratory

pure cultures to reliably determine species. Because of the difficulties posed by routine species identification, the use of DNA sequencing and phylogenetic approaches has become a standard method to help clarify relationships between species. Species differ in their geographical distribution and ecological position, host specificity, microscopic and macroscopic features, and also in their aggressiveness in colonizing wood hosts. The following list of Armillaria species is based on the taxonomic overviews provided by Volk and Burdsall in 1995,[8] David Pegler in 2000,[9] and reports of new species that have been published since then.[10][11][12]

Species

Name The
binomial name
of the Armillaria species.
Authority The author citation—the person who first described the species using an available scientific name, eventually combined with the one who placed it in Armillaria, and using standardized abbreviations.
Year The year in which the species was named, or transferred to the genus Armillaria. Where the actual year of publication (as defined for the purpose of
priority
) differs from the date given in the material, the latter date is given in quotes.
Distribution The distribution of the species; unless otherwise indicated, this information is obtained from Volk and Burdsall (1995), and Pegler (2000).
A chestnut colored mushroom with a floppy-looking margin and a shaggy stem grows among grass and young shoots.
A. borealis
A group of brown mushrooms, their ring-marked caps overlapping, grows in tall grass.
A. cepistipes
Young orangeish bulbous mushrooms are covered in shaggy, scale-like hairs.
A. gallica
A pair of mushrooms jut from the side of a mossy tree trunk; their cap is grey and warty, and their gills are still hiden by the universal veil.
A. hinnulea
A young mushroom grows out of clubmoss, its yellow stem and orange cap both textured.
A. luteobubalina
Two clusters of brownish mushrooms growing from wood. One of the clusters has been pulled from the tree to expose the bases of their stems.
A. puiggarii
A tight clump of dry-looking, brown mushrooms with the margins higher than the center of the cap; they grown out of what appear to be the root of a tree.
A. tabescens

Notes

  1. ^ The original spelling of the species name was cepaestipes.[19]
  2. ^ This was a nomen novum for Robert Heim's Clitocybe elegans,[28] as Maurice Beeli had described Armillaria elegans[29] in 1927 (that species is now placed in Cystodermella).[30]
  3. ^ a b A. montagnei and A. luteobubalina may represent the same species. If this is so, its correct epithet would be montagnei.[11]
  4. ^ This species was known as Armillaria ostoyae until a 2008 publication revealed that Charles Horton Peck had described the taxon under a different name in 1900.[45]
