  Key to Pale-Spored, Gilled Mushrooms (MushroomExpert.Com)
Gills thick, often distant, flesh-colored to purplish, attached to the stem but not often running down it; cap some shade of brown, light brown, orange brown, reddish brown, reddish, orangish, or purplish (but often fading to whitish); stem tough.
Gills usually running down the stem; cap convex or plane--or, often, shallowly depressed to vase-shaped; stem fleshy (not cartilaginous or differently textured than the cap); many species with a sweet or anise-like odor; many species white, brownish, or yellowish brown; orange colors never present.

 Iris Herbal Products - More Information On Medicinal Mushrooms
Mushrooms produce several important medicinal compounds in both the mycelium (the web-like mass of cells that is sort of like the root structure of the mushroom, and is often located in the ground or tree) and the fruiting body-what we call the actual mushroom.
The medicinal compounds in mushrooms are primarily antibiotics, ergosterols, glycoproteins, polysaccharides, and triterpenes.
This delicious, well-known gilled mushroom is native to Japan, Korea, and China.

 Poisonous Mushrooms
Mushrooms in these groups cause virtually all the fatal mushroom poisonings in the United States, with amanitas alone accounting for 90 percent of mushroom-related deaths.
These mushrooms are found in summer and fall, in large clusters at the base of trees, on stumps or on buried wood.
These large, common mushrooms often appear in fairy rings on suburban lawns, and are frequently eaten by the lawn's owner-to his or her regret.

 Gill Fungi   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
In most side views of mushroom caps you can't see the gills as nicely as in the photo, but here a critter has nibbled the cap's rim so that it no longer folds over the gills, hiding them.
The gilled mushrooms are among the most important fungi not only because they are so common, but also because they provide some the best fungi to eat.
Members of this genus are often called Milk Mushrooms because when they are injured the fungus body "bleeds" a white latex or "milk," as shown by the cut across the gills in the photograph.

Mushrooms go thru stages of development that can change the color, objects on the stem/stipe, smell, angle of the cap, sliminess, and obviously stages of decay.

I always use the mushroom stalks, except with shiitake, as they are a bit chewy in this case and so need to be trimmed almost down to the cup.
Once the mushrooms have lost much of their moisture content they can then be used in an omelette or simply as they are.

Mushrooms do not draw attention from many, but they play an essential role in the ecosystem as decomposers or as pathogens for some trees.
Appearance of one mushroom species varies according to its stages of freshness, habitats, and weather conditions, etc. In these albums, many photos are presented for each species to show the variation in appearance.
Although mushrooms in these albums were identified by consulting more than 10 books (.pdf) when necessary, there may still be mistakes.

 New Chapter - Medicinal Mushrooms
The pharmaceutical industry has been slow to explore mushrooms for antibiotic activity, in part because basidiomycetous fungi are slower growing in fermentation and less yielding compared to the mold fungi,9 such as the well known Penicillium notatum, the fungus from which Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin in 1928.
Extracts of cultures of this mushroom are currently the subject of in vitro scan investigations for antibacterial properties based, in part, upon a long history of folkloric use in the Russian Far East.29 Extracts of shiitake (Lentinula edodes (Berk.) Pegler, Polyporaceae) were recently reported to inhibit growth of S.
Mushroom polysaccharides such as lentinan can enhance the immune system, potentiating a host-mediated response, and indirectly, but effectively, may be antimicrobial.

One of the last mushrooms to fruit in the fall, this gilled mushroom is characterized by its growing out of the side of live, dead, or dying trees, white to grayish- brown cap, short, white, off-center stem (if any), white spores, and decurrent gills which turn yellow in age.
The gills of this mushroom were decurrent (running down the stalk), so that led me to question pair 6.

 The Gilled Mushrooms ("Agaricales") (MushroomExpert.Com)
There are so many gilled mushrooms, and so many are so confoundingly similar, that it is often difficult to identify them, even to genus, without the aid of a microscope.
But you can't exactly test the DNA of every mushroom you want to identify, and identification keys based on actual, natural relationships would be virtually useless to anyone without access to the technology of molecular biology.
For a sense of how mushrooms are genetically related, you will need to turn to our page on Taxonomy (which includes a large table representing the current taxonomic relationships among all of the mushroom-like fungi), to our Taxonomy in Transition pages, and to the technical publications of molecular biologists.

The other light-spored mushrooms are either more closely related to some of the dark-spored gilled mushrooms or they are non-conformists and may not have gills at all.
The stem of the Oyster Mushroom is often on the side of the cap next to the tree it is growing from and the spores are white.
Some of the mushrooms on this table, like the Russulas, look like the gilled mushrooms on other tables, but they have been evolving separately for a long time and may have developed their gills separately from the other mushrooms.

 Fungi Perfecti®: antiviral drugs from mushrooms
The mushroom yielding this novel antiviral is Rozites caperata, the Gypsy Mushroom, a mycorrhizal species associated with pines and Douglas firs.
The predominant mushrooms showing promise for their antiviral activities are polypores—the so-called woody conks, thought to be the ancestors of most, if not all, gilled mushrooms.
(Interestingly we know of no poisonous polypores whereas there are more than hundred poisonous gilled mushrooms, of which only a few are deadly.) Most all these antivirals are water soluble, relatively heat-stable, and most of the mushrooms mentioned and/or their mycelia can be cultured to commercially significant levels.

 David Fischer's Mushroom Photo Gallery - AmericanMushrooms.com
Most GILLED MUSHROOMS are fleshy and have caps supported by a central stalk, but some that grow on wood are stalkless and may appear more shelflike.
The gills radiate (like the spokes of a wheel) toward the edge of the cap from the stalk (or, in the case of stalkless species, from the point of attachment to the dead wood on which they grow).
CHANTERELLES are often mistaken for true gilled mushrooms (agarics), but the "gills" of chanterelles are blunt, forked, and crossveined (not thin and flat-sided like true gills), and many species lack anything that resemble gills.

In addition, it includes the gilled mushroom Lentinellus, the tooth fungi Auriscalpium and Hericium, the coral mushroom Clavicorona, the polypores Albatrellus and Bondarzewia, and the crust or parchment fungi Aleurodiscus and Stereum.

Fungi is found at every level of the forest from the microscopic species found in the soil horizon, to the gilled mushrooms found in forest canopy soil.
If it were not for the mushrooms and other fungi processing dead material, it would pile up on the forest floor and not be available to the next generation of plants.
The inability to recreate mycorrhizal conditions is the main reason that some commercially valuable mushrooms (morels, chanterelles, and matsutakes) are difficult to cultivate in a farm environment.

 Fungi Perfecti®: novel antibiotics from mushrooms
Although many of those skilled in the art are aware of the immune-enhancing properties of mushrooms, few may realize that mushrooms are rich sources of natural antibiotics.
While the cell wall glucans are well known for their anti-bacterial properties, few medical practitioners are aware that many of the secondary metabolites—the extracellular secretions by the mycelium—are exquisitely designed to combat a wide range of bacteria and other microorganisms (Anke 1989).
This higher concentration of effective antibiotics from Polypore mushrooms underscores that this barely explored group, in particular those with a long history of folkloric use by indigenous peoples, should be carefully surveyed (Atsumi, S., et al., 1990; Hirasawa et al., 1999).
