Template:Mycomorphbox/doc

MycoMorphBoxes depict 8 mycological characteristics that are often useful in identifying mushrooms. The template is given as a quick way to display information about mushrooms, and to enable quick comparison between them.

Usage

Copy the following code into the article you want to add a MycoMorphBox to, and then add the parameters:

{{ mycomorphbox
| name            = 
| hymeniumType    = 
| capShape        = 
| whichGills      = 
| stipeCharacter  = 
| sporePrintColor = 
| ecologicalType  = 
| howEdible       = 
}}

Parameters

MycoMorphBoxes have 8 basic parameters:

name	hymeniumType	capShape	whichGills	stipeCharacter	sporePrintColor	ecologicalType	howEdible
Name of the mushroom.	Type of spore-bearing surface: gills, pores, et cetera.	Descriptor of the general shape of the cap.	Descriptor of how the hymenium attaches to the stem. Applies even to ridged, toothed and pored species, despite parameter name.	Indicates if a universal or partial veil is present.	Color of the spore print.	Indicates how the mushroom obtains nutrients.	Indicates whether the mushroom is edible or poisonous.

Example

These basic parameters can be specified in any order, but should be typed exactly as above. For example:

Phlebopus marginatus View the Mycomorphbox template that generates the following list Mycological characteristics
File:Gills icon.png	gills on hymenium
File:Infundibuliform cap icon.svg	cap is infundibuliform
File:Seceding gills icon2.svg	hymenium is seceding
File:NA cap icon.svg	lacks a stipe
File:Transparent spore print icon.svg File:Transparent spore print icon.svg	spore print is buff to cream
File:Mycorrhizal fungus.svg	ecology is mycorrhizal
File:Mycomorphbox Question.png	edibility: unknown

{{ mycomorphbox
| name             = Phlebopus marginatus
| whichGills       = seceding
| capShape         = infundibuliform
| hymeniumType     = gills
| stipeCharacter   = NA
| ecologicalType   = mycorrhizal
| sporePrintColor  = buff
| sporePrintColor2 = cream
| howEdible        = unknown
}}

Generates the mycomorphbox at right:

All parameters other than name and hymeniumType can now be specified with a secondary characteristic. For example, a mushroom might appear with both convex and flat caps at maturity, this can be indicated in the mycomorphbox by adding a second capShape parameter, simply by repeating the parameter name followed by the numeral 2:

|capShape=flat
|capShape2=convex

This can be done with the following parameters: capShape, whichGills, stipeCharacter, sporePrintColor, ecologicalType, howEdible.
