The Quaker loves an ample brim,
A hat that bows to no salaam;
And dear the beaver is to him
As if it never made a dam.

Fungi Structures
Annulus
The annulus or ring is a band or bands of tissue usually dervided from the partial or inner veil that girdles the stem either near the cap (superior) centrally, or near the base (inferior)
Notched gills
The gills of this fungus are attached directly to the stipe but there appears to be a notch taken out of the top of each one when it meets the stipe.
Veil
Outer layer of usually thin tissue that protects the developing fruit body of some mushroom like fungi. The veil can extend from the cap edge to the top of the stem (partial) or envelop the entire fruiting body (universal).
Campanulate cap
Campanulate cap
Cylindrical cap
Cylindrical cap
Adnate gills
Gills are attached 90 degrees to the stipe
Appendiculate margin
Appendiculate is a term used to desribe the tissue overhanging the edge of the cap.
Crenate margin
Crenate is a term which means scalloped, and is usally used in describing giils or cap margins which are regularly wavey.
Hyphae
Fungi are the fruiting body of the fungal organism - most of it is in the form of spidery threads that grow through the substrate, in this case the bark of a living tree.
