Termitomyces schimperi

Ciri dan struktur

Termitomyces schimperi can grow to the size of a "large frying pan". When they emerge, the fruitbody of the fungus are the "size of a man’s fist", before rapidly expanding to 15–28 cm and sometimes reaching 40 cm in diameter. The tops are white. Yellowish to red-brown discolouration of the thick soft scales may occur by the mound soil. Below the top most layer, the scales are white. The pseudorhiza (a cord-like structure resembling a plant root) is narrower at its origin in the termite nest, and may be as long as 90 cm. Its consistency above ground is less dense. The sporocarps can be seen in groups of 5–10 around the lower parts of termite mound, and grow to around 50 cm above soil level. Up to 50 sporocarps have been reported around a single mound. The Termitomyces schimperi usually appear after soaking rains of 12 mm or more during spring, but the main crop develops during January to March which is the main rainy season. If the hyphae remain in the mound when harvested, they may grow on the same termite mound for many years. The termites consume the partial veil following maturation of the fungus.

In Zambia the Termitomyces schimperi can also be found on termite mounds of the termite Odontotermes patruus (Sjöstedt, 1913).
