Subhymenium

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The subhymenium is a very thin layer of hyphae that lies directly under the hymenium and that is visually different from both the trama (mushroom flesh or inner mushroom tissue) and the fruit layer.

It is important to Subhymenium for example in the taxonomy of the amanita ( Amanita ). Important features of the subhymenium include:

  • the number of cell layers it is made up of,
  • the size of the subhymenial cells (are they larger than the cells of the underlying trama) and
  • are the subhymenium hyphae branched?
