Toxic Mushrooms: A systematic classification of the genus of the blue pleated umbrella.

Every year during the rainy season, poisoning due to accidental eating of a green fold umbrella occurs from time to time.
a new study by the Institute of Plant Research of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, it will help to accurately identify poisonous mushrooms and provide a new theoretical basis for preventing and controlling the damage of toxic mushrooms. According to the
, the green fold umbrella is a fungus is one of the important groups in the mushroom department, mostly living in dead branches, roots or rich in organic matter, mainly distributed in forests, grasslands and other habitats.
can also grow in flower pots in the home and in the humus where edible bacteria are grown.
researchers warn that, with the exception of a few edible groups such as brown-green foldumbrellas, the fungus is mostly toxic and can cause severe gastrointestinal inflammation after eating it.
in Kunming Plant Research Institute of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, East Asia Plant Diversity and Biogeography Key Laboratory of the Ge Rewei research group, after many years of field research accumulation and cooperation with domestic and foreign counterparts, obtained the species samples reported globally nearly 80%, through multi-gene fragment sequencing, reconstructed the systemic development almost relationship of the genus fungal, its single-line, species diversity and characteristic evolution of the in-depth study.
they found that the green fold umbrella is a single group of fungi, divided into 6 groups, previously placed in the large ring handle mushroom genus, ring handle mushroom genus and mushroom bag under the many species, in fact, should be members of the blue fold umbrella genus.
they also found that the genus may have undergone a short period of rapid radiation evolution in history, but the umbrella cover surface structure, the presence or absence of lock-like joints, the shape of the pleated cystic body, and the shape, size, or bud holes of the spores, and other characteristics, the genus of the group and species identification is of great value.
they put forward a systematic classification of the genus of the green pleated umbrella, compiled a sub-species search table, reported two new species and a new combination of african cyanosic umbrella and ancient tropical blue fold umbrella, greatly expanded the understanding of the diversity and systematic evolution of the species of the genus, and helped the species, especially the toxic group, to prevent and control mushroom poisoning.
research has been published in the authoritative professional journal The Journal of Mycology.
