Agaricales

The fungal order Agaricales, also known as gilled mushrooms (for their distinctive gills) or euagarics, contains some of the most familiar types of mushrooms.
The order has 33 extant families, 413 genera, and over
13000 described species,[4] along with ve extinct genera known only from the fossil record.[1][5] They range
from the ubiquitous common mushroom to the deadly
destroying angel and the hallucinogenic y agaric to the
bioluminescent jack-o-lantern mushroom.

were named the Agaricoid, Tricholomatoid, Marasmioid,


Pluteoid, Hygrophoroid and Plicaturopsidoid clades.[6]
Some notable fungi with gill-like structures, such as
chanterelles, have long been recognized as being substantially dierent from usual Agaricales. Molecular studies
are showing more groups of agarics as being more divergent than previously thought, such as the genera Russula
and Lactarius belonging to a separate order Russulales,
and other gilled fungi, including such species as Paxillus
involutus and Hygrophoropsis aurantiaca showing a closer
anity with Boletes in the order Boletales.

Molecular phylogenetics research has demonstrated that
the euagarics clade is roughly equivalent to Singers Agaricales sensu stricto.[9][10][11] A recent (2006) large-scale
study by Brandon Matheny and colleagues used nucleic
acid sequences representing six gene regions from 238
species in 146 genera to explore the phylogenetic grouping within the Agaricales. The analysis showed that most
of the species tested could be grouped into six clades that

3 Characteristics
Basidiocarps of the agarics are typically eshy, with a
stipe, often called a stem or stalk, a pileus (or cap) and
lamellae (or gills), where basidiospores are produced.
This is the stereotypical structure of a mushroom.

GENERA INCERTAE SEDIS

When the environmental conditions are favorable and the


mycelium is at the proper stage of development, one or
more fruit bodies are produced by the fungus. The actual conditions necessary for fruit body formation and
spore production are not clearly understood. Humidity,
light, temperature, aeration, and nutrition are all factors
thought to be important in fruit body formation. The genetic makeup and the general physiology of the fungus
hyphae are also important in the initiation and formation
of young fruit bodies and their development to a mature
stage. The spores produced by a fruit body are released
when it is mature. When they land in a suitable environment, the spores germinate and the hyphae grow to
initiate the life cycle anew.[13]

Life cycle

The fungus fruit body is the spore-producing stage of the


life cycle. Most fungi reproduce by spores and the fruit
bodies are developed specically for the production and
dispersal of spores. The spores produced by fruit bodies
are usually the result of sexual reproduction.[13]
