“…or Psathyrella (Fr.) Maniotis (1964) discovered an unequivocal teleomorph in a culture of Rhacophyllus lilacinus, i.e., basidium-bearing, normal, coprinoid fruiting bodies, and he named this "perfect state" Coprinus clastophyllus Maniotis. Subsequently, Patouillard (1913) concluded that his fungus represented Rhacophyllus lilacinus or a close relative.…”

“…Subsequently, Patouillard (1913) concluded that his fungus represented Rhacophyllus lilacinus or a close relative. Malengon & Bertault (1970), still unaware of Maniotis's (1964) research, accepted Rhacophyllus as a good genus of agarics, lacking sporulating basidia, noting that the internal structure reported by Reijnders & Malenqon (1969) represented a modified hymenium with sclerotised modified basidia. Petch (1926) next described in detail its development, concluding that Rhacophyllus represented "... an abnormal condition of some sporiferous fungus".…”

“…Aware of the research by Maniotis (1964) and Reijnders & Malenqon (1969), Singer (1986) listed Rhacophyllus as a synonym of Coprinus, qualifying it as the "Rhacophyllus form of Coprinus clastophyllus" but not going so far as to state it was "not priorable" as he did for Ozonium Link. Pegler (1986), however, summed up the dilemma most succinctly, by noting that Rhacophyllus lilacinus may be unique in having the ability to form two teleomorphs, and that the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature did not offer clear guidelines for such a situation.…”

“…Maniotis (1964) noted that some fruitbodies did not elongate, were short-stalked, or remained sessile. It can form a normal agaric basidiome with normal, functioning basidia and basidiospores under some situations.…”

“…Moreau (1953) who first drew attention to the possibility of meiosis in the lysomeres, discussed Rhacophyllus among the imperfect fungi. Maniotis (1964) treated it as a sterile form in contrast to the perfect (sexual) form he described as Coprinus. Maniotis (1964) treated it as a sterile form in contrast to the perfect (sexual) form he described as Coprinus.…”

A., Vilgalys, R. & Moncalvo, J.-M.: Rhacophyllus and Zerovaemyces-teleomorphs or anamorphs? -Taxon 49: 789-798. -ISSN 0040-0262.The originally monotypic genus Rhacophyllus was conceived for an agaric-like fungus that bore sheets of miniature sclerotium-like bodies (lysomeres) in place of lamellae. Subsequently it was demonstrated that a "normal" Coprinus-like teleomorph exists as an alternative state (morph). Following this discovery, most authors have treated Rhacophyllus as an anamorph. Ontogenetic studies indicate that the Rhacophyllus state is a variation on basidiome production. Rhacophyllus apparently was rediscovered and redescribed as a new genus Zerovaemyces, for which a new family, Zerovaemycetaceae, and a new order, Loculomycetes, were also described, all as teleomorphs. Nomenclatural application of these names are analysed, and it is concluded that Rhacophyllus (and Zerovaemyces, Zerovaemnycetaceae) are best considered to be nomina anarmorphosium. These decisions affect the naming of other taxa newly resolved molecularly. An analogous second case of modified basidiomes involves the anamorph Decapitatus gen. nov., described here for the well-known gemmiferous state of Mycena citricolor, Decapitatus flavidus comb. nov. (= Stilbum flavidum).

Summary An isolate of the purple‐brown spored agaric Psilocybe merdaria (Fr.) Ricken, which had been collected on Mull, Scotland, was found to be unstable in its morphological characters when in pure culture. Apart from normal fruit‐bodies a series of forms developed, ranging from laterally stipitate to gasteromycetoid ones. The morphological characters of the two extreme forms, before and after several subcultures were made, are described. How these abnormal fruit‐bodies might amplify past and present theories on the origin of the Gasteromycetes is considered. The shape of the basidium in this one isolate was also found to be plastic and several deviations from the typical basidium are described. It is suggested that the origin of at least some types of pleurocystidia should be sought in modifications of the basidium. The use of the basidium as a major character in the classification of the Basidiomycetes is not discredited, but a closer relationship than previously expressed between the different groups of the higher fungi is argued. It is suggested that useful information might be obtained from the further study of teratological forms similar to those of P. merdaria whenever they are found in other higher fungi. In the field aberrant forms are not as rare as might be at first supposed.
