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.

Example

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

How to create a mycomorphboxTemplate:Mycomorphbox
How to create a mycomorphbox
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.

Need help adding a mycomorphbox?

1.) Feel free to contact any of these users if you would like assistance:

2.) Or, simply include this template to the top of the article's talk page: {{mycomorphbox-missing}}. This will generate the following box (and someone one will come along and add the mycomorphbox shortly):

This article would benefit from the addition of a Mycomorphbox which lists traits used to identify this mushroom.
You can help Misplaced Pages by adding one.
