MycoMorphBox properties

MycoMorphBoxes depict 8 mycological characteristics that are often useful in identify mushrooms. The template is given as a quick way to display information about mushrooms, and to enable quick comparison between them. As always, use discretion when consuming wild mushrooms. Read mushroom hunting and mushroom poisoning, and rely on the advice of an expert if you are new.

If you would like to add or edit MycoMorphBoxes, here are some guidelines that may help:

MycoMorphBoxes have 8 basic parameters:

name=	hymeniumType=	capShape=	whichGills=	stipeCharacter=	sporePrintColor=	ecologicalType=	howEdible=
	the type of spore-bearing surface: gills, pores, etc.	a descriptor of the general shape of the cap.	a descriptor of how the hymenium attaches to the stem.	indicates if a universal or partial veil is present.	the color of the spore print.	indicates how the mushroom obtains nutrients.	indicates whether the mushroom is edible or poisonous.
	gills pores smooth ridges teeth gleba	campanulate conical convex depressed flat infundibuliform offset ovate umbillicate umbonate no NA	adnate adnexed decurrent emarginate free seceding sinuate subdecurrent no NA	bare ring volva ring and volva cortina NA	black blackish-brown brown buff cream green olive pink pinkish-brown purple purple-black purple-brown reddish-brown salmon tan white yellow yellow-orange	mycorrhizal parasitic saprotrophic	choice edible inedible caution psychoactive poisonous allergic deadly unknown

Example

These basic parameters can be specified in any order, but should be typed exactly as above, but excluding the = character. For example:

Phlebopus marginatus mycological characteristics:   gills on hymenium   cap is infundibuliform   hymenium is seceding   lacks a stipe     spore print is buff or cream   ecology is mycorrhizal   edibility: unknown

{{mycomorphbox
| name = Phlebopus marginatus
| whichGills = seceding
| capShape =infundibuliform
| hymeniumType=gills
| stipeCharacter=NA
| ecologicalType=mycorrhizal
| sporePrintColor=buff
| sporePrintColor2=cream
| howEdible=unknown
}}

Generates the mycomorphbox at right:

All parameters other than name and hymeniumType can now be specified with a secondary characterisitic. For example, a mushroom might appear with both convex and flat caps at maturity, this can be indicated in the mycomorphbox by adding a second capShape parameter, simply by repeating the parameter name followed by the numeral 2:

|capShape=flat
|capShape2=convex

This can be done with the following parameters: capShape, whichGills, stipeCharacter, sporePrintColor, ecologicalType, howEdible.
