William Alphonso Murrill

American botanist and mycologist (1869–1957).

William Alphonso Murrill (October 13, 1869 – December 25, 1957) was an American mycologist, known for his contributions to the knowledge of the Agaricales and Polyporaceae. In 1904, he became the assistant Curator at the New York Botanical Garden (NYBG). He, along with the NYBG, founded the journal Mycologia and was its first editor for 16 years. Murrill was known to travel extensively to describe the mycota of Europe and the Americas. He traveled along the East Coast, Pacific Coast, Mexico and the Caribbean. Although Murrill was a very influential person at the NYBG, having worked his way up

Laetiporus sulphureus (Chicken Of The Woods) (Bull.) Murrill 1920

edible fungi species in the laetiporaceae family

Laetiporus sulphureus is a species of bracket fungus (fungi that grow on trees). Its common names include sulphur polypore, sulphur shelf, and chicken-of-the-woods. Its fruit bodies grow as striking golden-yellow shelf-like structures on tree trunks and branches. Old fruitbodies fade to pale beige or pale grey. The undersurface of the fruit body is made up of tubelike pores rather than gills. Found in Europe and North America, L. sulphureus is a saprophyte and occasionally a weak parasite, causing brown cubical rot in the heartwood of trees on which it grows. Unlike many bracket fungi, it is

Suillellus luridus (Lurid Bolete) (Schaeff.) Murrill 1909

edible fungi species in the boletaceae family

Suillellus luridus (formerly Boletus luridus), commonly known as the lurid bolete, is a fungus of the family Boletaceae, found in calcareous broadleaved woodlands in Europe. Fruit bodies appear in summer and autumn and may be locally abundant. It is a firm bolete with an olive-brown cap up to 20 cm (8 in) in diameter, with small orange or red pores on the underside (yellow when young). The stout ochre stem reaches 8–14 cm (3–6 in) high and 1–3 cm (0.4–1.2 in) wide, and is patterned with a red network. Like several other red-pored boletes, it stains blue when bruised or cut. While edible and

Gymnopus dryophilus (Russet Toughshank) (Bull.) Murrill 1916

edible fungi species in the omphalotaceae family

Gymnopus dryophilus is a species of mushroom, until recently most frequently known as Collybia dryophila. It belongs to section Levipedes of the genus, being characterized by a smooth stem having no hairs at the base (in contrast to section Vestipedes). The species is commonly found in temperate woodlands of Europe and North America. It is generally saprophytic, but occasionally also attacks living wood. The caps have been considered edible but can cause severe gastrointestinal issues.

fungi genus in the laetiporaceae family

Laetiporus is a genus of edible mushrooms found throughout much of the world. Some species, especially Laetiporus sulphureus, are commonly known as sulphur shelf, chicken of the woods, the chicken mushroom, or the chicken fungus because it is often described as tasting like and having a texture similar to that of chicken.

Polyozellus multiplex (Blue Chanterelle) (Underw.) Murrill 1910

edible fungi species in the thelephoraceae family

Polyozellus is a fungal genus in the family Thelephoraceae, a grouping of mushrooms known collectively as the leathery earthfans. Previously considered a monotypic genus, it now contains the Polyozellus multiplex species complex. The genus name is derived from the Greek poly meaning many, and oz, meaning branch. It is commonly known as the blue chanterelle, the clustered blue chanterelle, bluefan, or, in Alaska, the black chanterelle. The distinctive fruit body of this species comprises blue- to purple-colored clusters of vase- or spoon-shaped caps with veiny wrinkles on the undersurface that

Melanoleuca melaleuca (Bald Knight) (Pers.) Murrill 1911

edible fungi species in the tricholomataceae family

Melanoleuca melaleuca is a species of mushroom in the family Tricholomataceae, and it is the type species of its genus Melanoleuca. It is difficult to distinguish from other related species firstly because it is variable, secondly because the taxonomic criteria are often based on characteristics which have later been found to be variable, and thirdly because there is much disagreement between authorities as to an exact species definition.

The European Hygrocybe lepida was previously referred to this name, but is now known to be distinct. The orangish cap is up to 2.5 centimetres (1 in) wide and the reddish stem 8 cm (3+1⁄4 in) tall and 4 mm (3⁄16 in) thick. It can resemble members of its genus such as the uncommon H. coccineocrenata. It is found in North America and Australia.

According to a 2008 estimate, the widely distributed genus contains 11 species, though three new species were identified in 2010 in sub-Saharan Africa using multigene molecular phylogenetic analysis, and two more were named in a 2013 article. In 2011 it was announced that a specimen of the species F. ellipsoidea was discovered with a fruit body that is largest known of any fungus. However, the species has since been moved to Phellinus.

fungi genus in the podoscyphaceae family

Abortiporus is a genus of fungi in the family Meruliaceae. The widely distributed genus contains three species. Species in the genus grow on the wood of hardwoods and conifers, either alone or around the stumps and living trees. It causes a white rot in dead wood and a white trunk rot in living wood.
