Topic: Limacella


In the News (Sat 25 May 13)

  
  The Genus Limacella (MushroomExpert.Com)
Limacella is a small genus of slimy gilled mushrooms with white spore prints and gills that are free from the stem.
DNA studies have apparently confirmed the traditional view (based primarily on microscopic observation of the gills) that Limacella is closely related to Amanita, though collectors are not likely to confuse the two genera.
It is unclear whether species of Limacella are saprobic or mycorrhizal; my limited experience with the genus suggests that the species I have collected are saprobic litter decomposers, but I wouldn't bet the house on my guess.

 LIMACELLA in the Pacific Northwest
Limacella is a small genus in the family Pluteaceae.
It is characterized by a viscid to slimy glutinous cap with free or almost free gills; a central stem that varies from dry to glutinous in different species, with or without an annulus, but lacking a volva.
Information in this key is based mostly on The Genus Limacella in North America by Helen V. Smith, to whom I am indebted for a copy of her monograph.

In the closely related genus Limacella, the universal veil is a thick, slimy gelatinous tissue, but the development is the same as in the Amanitas.
A third important character possessed by Amanita and Limacella are free gills, so called because they do not touch the stalk.
A gelatinous universal veil and volva signifies a Limacella.

 Limacella glioderma (MushroomExpert.Com)
Limacella had not crossed my radar screen before this, and I was relying on keys (my own included) that emphasize sliminess in order to arrive at the genus.

 Amanitales Gallery
The order Amanitales contains just one family, the Amanitaceae, comprising two genera, Amanita and Limacella.
The Amanita genus is well know for such prized edibles as Caesar's mushroom (Amanita caesarea), as well as for several deadly poisonous species (Amanita phalloides and Amanita pantherina, for example).
This group also contains Amanita muscaria, commonly known as the Fly Agaric, one of the most beautiful of all the gilled fungi.

 BirdForum - An unusual Fungus
In fact beds of nettles and of Dog's Mercury are very often worth delving into.
They pick out the richer soils, often a fine loam underneath and they can produce some attractive (and even identifiable!) Entoloma species, also good for the smaller Lepiota species, various of the larger cup fungi, and, for the fortunate, Limacella glioderma or L. vinosorubescens.
A stick (or umbrella) for gently parting nettles is an essential item of equipment for the Compleat Forayer.

- Wed 17-Jul-1996 at 02:01:29 PM I think the mushroom listed on your website (the Agaric with the glutinous veil) is a Limacella.
The attached gills is puzzling, but many Amanitas have gills which are at least finely attached.
- Mon 22-Apr-1996 at 11:22:17 PM It's probably either a Limacella or a Hygrophorous or an unusual Tricholoma...
