ivinový

Ivinové is a genus of fungi belonging to the family Amanitaceae. These mushrooms are characterized by their typically white to cream-colored gills and often have a volva at the base of the stipe, a remnant of the universal veil. The cap surface can vary in texture and color, sometimes exhibiting striations. Several species within the Ivinové genus are known for their potential toxicity, with some containing dangerous amatoxins similar to those found in the closely related genus Amanita. Identification of Ivinové species requires careful examination of morphological features, including spore print color, gill attachment, and the presence or absence of a ring on the stipe.

The distribution of Ivinové species is widespread across various continents, often found in woodland habitats. They are typically mycorrhizal, forming symbiotic relationships with trees, which contributes to their ecological importance. Research into Ivinové species continues to explore their biochemical properties, including the presence of toxins, and their ecological roles. Due to the presence of potent toxins in some species, foraging for and consuming wild mushrooms belonging to this genus is strongly discouraged without expert knowledge. The genus Ivinové is a subject of ongoing mycological study and classification.
