Members of the order Agaricales are some of the most familiar types of mushrooms. They are also known as gilled mushrooms (for their distinctive gills), or euagarics. The order has about 4,000 species, or one fourth of all known homobasidiomycetes. They range from the deadly destroying angel to the common button mushroom, from the hallucinogenic fly agaric to the bioluminescent jack-o-lantern mushroom.

Note that many mushrooms, such as chanterelles, have false gills, and are therefore not agarics. Species Cantharellus is a genus with many delicious and popular edible mushrooms. ...

Distribution and habitat

These species are ubiquitous, present at nearly every place in the world except Antarctica. Their habitats vary largely from one species to another.

Characteristics

Basiodiocarps of the agarics are typically fleshy, with a stipe, a pileus (or cap) and lamellae (or gills), where basiodiospores are stored. This is indeed the stereotyped structure of what we would call a mushroom, hence the familiarity of the agarics. A Basidiocarp is a mushroom of Fungi division Basidiomycota. ... In botany, a stipe is a stem type of structure. ... A pileus (Latin for cap) is a small, horizontal cloud that can appear above a cumulus or cumulonimbus cloud, giving the parent cloud a characteristic hoodlike appearance. ... Gill may refer to one of the following. ... A Basidiospore is a spore produced by mushrooms of Fungi division Basidiomycota. ...

Life cycle

The agarics' life cycle is very much representative of the basiodiomycetes. Clamp connections are present in the dikaryons of several species, but that is not always the case. Dikaryon is from Greek, di meaning 2 and karyon meaning nut, refering to the nucleus of the cell. ...

Propagation

The agarics always have their basiodiospores ejected from the basidium into the area between gill edges. The spores are then let fall to the ground or carried by the wind. Basidium is a cell on which the spores of the mushroom are produced. ...
