Zhuliangomyces is a genus in the Amanitaceae, separated from Limacella by molecular phylogenetic evidence and named by Redhead in 2019. The group was first named Myxoderma, but that name was illegitimate because it had already been used for a cyanobacterial genus. Zhuliangomyces honours the Chinese mycologist Zhu-Liang Yang, whose concept of the group it follows. These fungi have extremely glutinous caps and stems.
Cap and stem are glutinous to viscid; the pileipellis is an ixotrichoderm. Gills are crowded and free to nearly free, with no hymenial cystidia; clamp connections are abundant. The stem lacks the rudimentary ring of Limacella and has no volva. Spores are nonamyloid, hyaline, smooth to slightly verruculose, with a conspicuously enlarged apiculus.
Never eat a wild mushroom based on a web page — confirm with an expert.
Mycology is an evolving science: names, classifications and safety information change as research advances. Entries are compiled from cited sources and reviewed, but may be incomplete or out of date — check the sources, and never rely on this library alone to identify or eat a mushroom.
