Mycomorphbox
Mycological characteristics

Template documentationviewedithistorypurge

MycoMorphBoxes depict 7 mycological characteristics that are often useful in identifying mushrooms. The template is given as a quick way to display information about mushrooms, and to enable quick comparison between them.

Usage

Copy the following code into the article you want to add a MycoMorphBox to, and then add the parameters:

{{ mycomorphbox
| name            = 
| hymeniumType    = 
| capShape        = 
| whichGills      = 
| stipeCharacter  = 
| sporePrintColor = 
| ecologicalType  = 
| howEdible       = 
}}

Parameters

MycoMorphBoxes have 8 basic parameters:

name	hymeniumType	capShape	whichGills	stipeCharacter	sporePrintColor	ecologicalType	howEdible
Name of the mushroom.	Type of spore-bearing surface: gills, pores, et cetera.	Descriptor of the general shape of the cap.	Descriptor of how the hymenium attaches to the stem. Applies even to ridged, toothed and pored species, despite parameter name.	Indicates if a universal or partial veil is present.	Color of the spore print.	Indicates how the mushroom obtains nutrients.	Indicates whether the mushroom is edible or poisonous.
{{{name}}}	gills pores smooth ridges teeth gleba	campanulate conical convex depressed flat infundibuliform offset ovate umbilicate 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 ochre olive olive-brown pink pinkish-brown purple purple-black purple-brown reddish-brown salmon tan white yellow yellow-orange yellow-brown	mycorrhizal parasitic saprotrophic	choice edible inedible unpalatable too hard to eat caution/not recommended psychoactive poisonous allergenic deadly unknown

Example

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

Phlebopus marginatus
Mycological characteristics
	Gills on hymenium
	Cap is infundibuliform
	Hymenium is seceding
	Lacks a stipe
	Spore print is buff to cream
	Ecology is mycorrhizal
	Edibility is 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 characteristic. 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.
