Metuloidea

Metuloidea is a genus of five species of fungi in the family Steccherinaceae.[1] The genus was circumscribed by New Zealand-based mycologist Gordon Herriot Cunningham in 1965. The type species is M. tawa, a fungus originally described by Cunningham as a species of Trametes.[2] Formerly classified in family Meruliaceae, Metuloidea was moved to the Steccherinaceae in 2016,[3] following prior research that outlined a revised framework for the Steccherinaceae based on molecular phylogenetics.[1]

Description

Metuloidea contains fungi that produce poroid or hydnoid fruit bodies that are brown and have a sweet odour. It features a dimitic hyphal system with branched, relatively wide skeletal hyphae (3–5 μm). The spores are ellipsoid to cylindrical, thin walled, and measure 3–4 by 2–2.8 μm.[3]

Species
gollark: ```pythondef why(regex, string): l = [] while True: l.append(l) ```
gollark: I think the segfault-causing is pretty good though.
gollark: Hmm, perhaps.
gollark: ```pythondef find_all_subclasses(cls, subs=[]): for subclass in cls.__subclasses__(): subs.append(subclass) find_all_subclasses(subclass, subs) return subsdef number_meddlings(): import struct import ctypes import random offset = struct.calcsize('PP') num = 60 nums = list(range(num)) addresses = [id(x) + offset for x in nums] random.shuffle(nums) for a, n in zip(addresses, nums): ctypes.c_ssize_t.from_address(a).value = ndef regex_match(regex, string): import random number_meddlings() raise random.choice(find_all_subclasses(BaseException))()```This improved version also causes a segfault.
gollark: ```pythondef find_all_subclasses(cls, subs=[]): for subclass in cls.__subclasses__(): subs.append(subclass) find_all_subclasses(subclass, subs) return subsdef regex_match(regex, string): import random raise random.choice(find_all_subclasses(BaseException))()```
