  Agaricales - Biocrawler   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
Agarics (also known as "gilled mushrooms") are one of the most familiar types of mushrooms.
Basiodiocarps of the agarics are typically fleshy, with a stipe, a pileus (or cap) and lamellae (or gills), where basiodiospores are stored.
The agarics always have their basiodiospores ejected from the basidium into the area between gill edges.

 INRA - The biodiversity of agarics
Agarics are fungi belonging to the Agaricus genus, the most well-known species of which is the button mushroom, Agaricus bisporus.
Molecular analyses have shown that biochemical characteristics (particularly of an organoleptic type) are essential to classifying agarics as a function of evolution.
definition of the family links between agarics during evolution through the study of different criteria, is largely based on this collection.

 MykoWeb -- Fungal Taxonomy III
However, its not yet clear whether both groups share an agaric ancestor and boletes are a derived condition, or whether agarics in the bolete clade evolved independently from boletoid ancestors.The majority of agarics belong to the euagaric group and share common descent from a single ancestor.
The last several “generations” of amateur and professional mycologists have been thoroughly schooled in the Singerian scheme of classifying agarics, and some of the new classifications that are emerging may seem confounding at first, however, in most cases these groupings do make sense in the light of the shared morphologies between members of these taxa.
Oddly, Volvariella, an agaric with clear morphological affinities to both Pluteus and Amanita, was found in the Moncalvo study not to fall into the same clade as these genera, and that in fact, its relationship is quite distant.

 What is... ?
Agaric - An agaric is a mushroom that produces its spores on thin plates, or gills, on the underside of the fruiting body.
Most agarics consist of a cap borne on a stalk, but in some, a stalk is lacking and the structure bearing the gills is attached directly to the substrate, usually a tree.
The term agaric includes the common mushrooms familiar to everyone; all are basidiomycetes.

 Introduction   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-06)
To separate some of the confusion as to what is a simple fungus and what is a mushroom, scientists now generally use the term 'mushroom' to encompass fungi of either the order Agaricales or the order Boletales.
Today, agarics are not restricted to "true" mushrooms (genus Agaricus), but also include cultivated mushrooms, or their numerous close relatives.
The 'orange agaric' includes both the edible and poisonous forms of Amanita, as well as the saffron milk cap (Lactarius deliciosus).

 Agaric - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
An agaric is a type of fungal fruiting body characterized by the presence of a pileus that is clearly differentiated from the stipe, with lamellae (gills) on the underside of the pileus.
Most species of agarics are classified in the Agaricales, however, this type of fruiting body is though to have evolved several times independently, hence the Russulales, Boletales, Hymenochaetales, and several other groups of basidiomycetes also contain agaric species.
"Agaric" is also sometimes used as a common name for members of the genus Agaricus, as well as for members of other genera, for example, Amanita muscaria is sometimes called "fly agaric".

By definition, arctic-alpine agarics and boletes are ectomycorrhizal, saprobic or parasitic mycota which closely interact-coexist with autochthonous associations of lichens, mosses and angiosperms exposed to the harsh ecological conditions above the upper timberline in alpine habitats or in tundra of Subarctica and Subantarctica.

The two forms of a species are essentially alike, except for the number of spores on their respective basidia, and a slight difference in spore size.
The probable occurrence of similarly related four-spored and two-spored forms in many agarics is the basis for suggesting that rather than set up new species for the two-spored forms, the following trinomial designations be used; Coprinus ephemerus Fr., f.
indicate that there may be within a considerable number of species of agarics, four-spored diploid and two-spored haploid forms.

Species composition and distribution patterns for selected genera of Agaricales (mushrooms and relatives) were compared to provide preliminary information on their potential biodiversity and degree of endemism in Neotropical montane Quercus forests.
Only genera with species that form ectomycorrhizae were examined, because knowledge of saprobic agarics is currently too fragmentary to allow comparisons of diverse mycotas.
Comparisons were made of the species composition and distribution of Amanita, Laccaria, Lactarius, and genera in the Boletaceae reported from temperate North America, southern Neotropical Quercus forests (Costa Rica-Colombia), the Lesser Antilles, tropical South America excluding montane Colombia, and temperate South America.
