    Extractions: Fungi could eat dangerous radiation to survive, an unexpected finding that could one day help feed astronauts in space. Or at least astronauts willing to eat a crawling fungus. The research began with the discovery of black fungus growing on the walls of Chernobyl 's damaged, highly radioactive nuclear reactor and collected by robots. The fungus was rich with melanin, the same pigment that gives human skin its color, protecting the skin from solar and ultraviolet radiation. Melanin is found in many, if not most, fungal species. "The fungal kingdom comprises more species than any other plant or animal kingdom," said researcher Arturo Casadevall , an immunologist at the Albert Einstein College of Medicine in New York Nuclear and other high-energy reactions give off ionizing radiation – dangerous rays and particles that can damage genes and thus cause mutations and eventually cancer. The researchers speculated that "just as the pigment chlorophyll converts sunlight into chemical energy that allows green plants to live and grow," so might melanin help fungi make use of ionizing radiation, said nuclear medicine specialist Ekaterina

The goal of this site is to provide an online resource for students, teachers, and researchers wanting to learn more about chytrids as well as an easily accessed interface for taxonomic information. Since the work on chytrid taxonomy and phylogeny is an on-going process, this site will be continually updated to reflect the changes brought about by new research. ORDER-CHYTRIDIALES The order Chytridiales is currently divided into four separate clades based on ribosomal DNA sequences and zoospore ultrastructure.

Molds and fungi are found in virtually every environment and can be detected, both indoors and outdoors, year round. The number of species of existing molds and fungi is estimated from tens of thousands to three hundred thousand or more. Molds and fungi produce and release millions of spores small enough to be air-, water-, or insect-borne. They can also produce toxic agents known as mycotoxins. Spores and mycotoxins can have negative effects on human health including allergic reactions, asthma and other respiratory problems.

    Extractions: Most people see a mushroom as a plant, but close examination shows that there are fundamental differences: This is why they are included in their own kingdom which in some ways is closer to animals than plants. For example insect and other arthropod skeletons are made of chitin. Fungal Hyphae A single fungal filament is called a hypha (plural hyphae). The chitin cell wall encloses a cytoplasm that may be undivided (Zygomycetes - molds), partially divided by perforated cross-walls (Ascomycetes - morels, cup fungi, blue molds) or fully divided (Basidiomycetes - mushrooms). The cytoplasm contains one or more haploid nuclei. If there are no cross-walls the cell structure is is said to be "coenocytic" . Many basidiomycetes have hyphae built up of uninucleate cells. The yeasts are exceptional among the Ascomycetes in that they are usually uninucleate and unicellular (non-filamentous). Hyphae grow at their tips and branch to form a mass of interwoven strands that is called mycelium . This is a culture of Pythium isolated from Taxus In many fungi the mycelium will form special structures in which nuclei will fuse to form diploid cells. These undergo meiosis to form haploid spores which can be transported over huge distances.

A large number of the spores of fungi is always present in the atmosphere, and while paper is not a particularly suitable medium to support the growth of molds and fungi, under favorable conditions, such as relatively high temperature and high relative humidity. paper will support the growth of these micro-organisms, some of which have a similar action on paper to that of dry rot fungus on wood. Conditions of storage which permit the prevalence of fungi may require the use of a FUNGICIDE to inhibit and/or destroy them. (

    Extractions: Right: Fly infected by Entomophthora fungus. Photo: W. Johnson Some insect species, including many pests, are particularly susceptible to infection by naturally occurring, insect-pathogenic fungi. These fungi are very specific to insects, often to particular species, and do not infect animals or plants. Fungal growth is favored by moist conditions but fungi also have resistant stages that maintain infection potential under dry conditions. Fungi have considerable epizootic potential and can spread quickly through an insect population and cause its collapse. Because fungi penetrate the insect body, they can infect sucking insects such as aphids and whiteflies that are not susceptible to bacteria and viruses. Several fungal species have potential as microbial insecticides and, in some countries, are commercially available in formulations that can be applied using conventional spray equipment.

    Extractions: morchella deliciosa "There are old mushroom hunters, and there are bold mushroom hunters, but there are no old, bold mushroom hunters" Welcome to our mushroom home page. Attached are pages covering our personal mushroom safety rules , terse reviews of books about mushroom hunting, our family favorites , and some (hopefully recent) foray reports , and some links to other mushroom sites. While many people up here in Michigan hunt wild mushrooms, most only hunt morels. This tends to limit their local season to the two weeks between sprouting and rotting during the month of May. It causes them to miss out on an incredible array of great flavors and textures. As amateur hobbyists, my wife and I have developed a list of favorite species, our own rules for trying out new species, and opinions about what makes for preferable and less helpful mushroom texts. Please be patient with us, it's a struggle to get digitized the best of over a thousand otherwise mediocre 35mm slides of mushrooms to better adorn these pages. Mushroom hunting is a true sport: The fungi DO have an equal chance to win. If we are correct in our identification, at very best we win a tasty side-dish, or an optimally seasoned main course. On the other hand, if we are not correct, we win repeated trips to the head, maybe a trip to the emergency room, and in the extreme, a trip to the morgue.

    Extractions: The Chicago area is home to an incredible diversity of plants, animals, and fungi. Within the region's boundaries are forest preserves and other natural areas that contain globally significant remnants of prairies and oak savannas. However, the Chicago region is experiencing explosive urban and suburban expansion with a consequent negative impact on natural areas. Monitoring the health of the nature preserves, and managing them to conserve local biodiversity is of high priority for the region. Contrary to popular belief, our understanding of biodiversity in North America is far from complete, especially regarding the diversity and distribution of groups such as fungi, protozoans,and bacteria. Although these groups don't attract the same attention as Grizzly bears and Redwood trees, their importance in ecosystems is crucial. Land managers are particularly concerned about mycorrhizal fungi, which are required by almost all plant species for obtaining nutrition from the soil. Because these fungi have been shown to be adversely affected by air pollution, monitoring them is an important step in maintaining forest health.
