<-- Back to the genus list Culture & Care for the genus Cypripedium Introduction to the genus Cypripedium (abbreviation: Cyp.) has been very popular among plant enthusiasts and can be considered to be a true "garden terrorchid". Their distinct flowers show the relationship with 4 other genera that are extremely sought after among orchid hobbyists in general: Paphiopedilum, Phragmipedium, Selenipedium, and the lesser known Mexipedium. They all belong to the Subfamily Cypripedioideae. Cypri…

Terrestrial Orchid Mycorrhiza An introduction to Fungi The world of fungi is intimidating for the novice. In the following paragraphs is a very short briefing on the subject to get you going. Fungi are not plants, they're a kingdom apart just like animals. As heterotrophic organisms they require organic molecules built by other organisms to grow and develop. In other words, they are unable to synthesize organic, carbon based compounds from an environment that is purely inorganic. Some spe…

They are small plants with a compact inflorescence that grow in the forest soil of low-altitude rain-forests and are as good as unknown in culture except for 1 species - Zeuxine strateumatica.

The Terrestrial Orchid Wiki Intention The TOW is intended as an easy to use interface between the various components of the Terrestrial Orchid Community. It can be used by the forum members to create just about anything, from guidelines for culture of plants to lists of weblinks and to compile data that has been posted on the forum.

mycorrhiza:rhizoctonia

Tue, 04 Mar 2008 05:39:24 -0500

<- genera Rhizoctonia is largely known as the root-cause of a wide range of plant diseases. Most of the literature you'll come across focusses on Rhizoctonia as a plant pathogen of foodcrops and trees. Fortunately, this means that a great deal of research has been done on identification and growth requirements for these species. A large portion of this information can be ported into fungal culture, but please keep in mind that as a hobbyist you're a candidate source of contamination for othe…

Frank) Donk Teleomorph of Rhizoctonia solani. It forms club-shaped basidia with four apical sterigmata on which oval, hyaline basidiospores are borne. Rhizoctonia solani does not produce spores, hence it is identified only from mycelial characteristics. Its hyphal cells are multinucleate. Also, it produces white to…

Mycorrhizal Genera Below is a list of genera that have been extracted from orchid roots or that are known to germinate orchid seeds. The intention is to build a reference for orchid germination and culture. Since the field of mycology is esoteric to say the least, added data needs to be verifiable by references.

<- genera Armillaria is a genus commonly known as the Honey mushroom, and sometimes called Shoestring Rot. The mycelium attacks the sapwood and is able to travel great distances under the bark or between trees in the form of black rhizomorphs ("shoestrings"). A number of species used to share the name Armillaria mellea.

Tue, 04 Mar 2008 05:23:31 -0500

<- genera Rhizopogon is a genus of hypogeous (underground) Basidiomycetes. Recent micromorphological and molecular phylogenetic study has established that Rhizopogon is a member of the Boletales, closely related to Suillus. All species of Rhizopogon are ectomycorrhizal and are thought to play an important role in the ecology of coniferous forests. R. luteolus was deliberately introduced into Pinus radiata plantations in Western Australia to improve tree growth in the early part of the 20th c…
