Template:Mycomorphbox

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.

  • 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
View the Mycomorphbox template that generates the following list
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.
