Extractions: My interest in fungi started when I was 10 years old. A neighbor told us that we had chanterelles growing on our property in Humboldt county California. My mother had collected mushrooms with her mother and my grandmother's good friend Margaret McKenny . After eating the chanterelles that my mother recognized, we got some books and the rest is history. My interest in computers has led me to create several mushroom related websites including the Santa Cruz Fungus Fair Site and, in collaboration with Elio Schaechter, A Mycological Voice From the Past , which celebrates an early work on Phallus by Hadrianus. My current projects include Taxonomic Changes for Mushroom Field Guides and the Fungus Species Lists Site I have taken photos of fungi for many years some of which have been online for a while. More recently I have added a much large collection of my images at: http://mushroomobserver.org Last modified: August 23, 2006 Nathan Wilson, nathan at collectivesource dot com

It is the first festival of its kind in the English-speaking world, dedicated to sharing the experience of the chefs, foragers and fans of Oregon's wild trufflesâfrom their hidden source in the forest to their glory on the table. The festival offers opportunities to meet other fans of the delicate mushroom at workshops, dinners, a truffle-growers' forum, and a truffle market. At least one event - a dinner at Pfeiffer Vineyards - is already sold out. The Colorado Mycological Society ( CMS ) wants you to avoid "mushroom withdrawal" over the winter. You can, if it's not too late, visit California over the Martin Luther weekend - 19-21 January 2008 - for a three-day mushroom camp provided by the Sonoma County Mushroom Association. This year's program includes Tom Volk as featured speaker as well as Else Vellinga, and famous mushroom photographer Taylor Lockwood. In addition, there will be forays, classroom presentations, and outstanding mushroom cuisine. For more information go to the

Edible And Poisonous Fungi
The Do s and Don ts of how to collect and eat edible fungi and some poisonous fungi to avoid like the plague.
http://www.nifg.org.uk/edible_fungi.htm

Extractions: Many people are interested in fungi because they are edible. But everyone also knows that wild fungi can be both delicious and deadly poisonous. Unfortunately, there is no simple way of saying what is edible and what is poisonous. The best way of sensibly eating wild fungi is to follow the guidelines below and to stick to a small number of easily recognisable, but tasty, species. Many poisonings occur when people are experimenting with odd species. There has also been some concern about the concentrations of metals such as arsenic, cadmium, copper and lead in wild fungi. MAFF (the Ministry for Agriculture, Fisheries and Food) organised a survey of wild fungi. The conclusions of this survey were that the consumption of wild fungi in normal quantities did not pose any significant health risk. Topics on this page are: How to avoid mushroom poisoning The Best Edible Species Poisonous Species and Books on Edible and Poisonous Fungi The Northern Ireland Fungus Group cannot accept responsibility or liability for a poisoning incident based on the contents of this page. Each case of cooking for the pot is an unique event and the identification of specimens is the responsibility is the person doing the cooking. Different individuals may also react to species that are described in the literature as "edible". It is thus prudent to be careful and follow the guidelines below.

The U.S. National Fungus Collections (BPI) are the repository for over one million fungal specimens worldwide and are the largest such collections in the world. Information associated with these specimens constitute an enormous data resource, especially about plant-associated fungi. Data from the labels ofmore than750,000of the specimens have been entered into a database. These labels have information on the host on which the fungus was found and the locality in which the specimen was collected. Sixty percent of these specimens are from the United States and thus represent a large body of information about the fungi in this country. Data entry has been completed for the Uredinales (rusts), the Ustilaginales (smuts), the Polyporales (polypores), the Deuteromycetes (imperfect fungi), the Ascomycetes, and the C.G. Lloyd collections. Recent progress has been made in the computerization of specimens of the agarics and the"lower" fungi including the Oomycetes and Chytridiomycetes. Fungus-Host Distributions . This database includes reports of fungi on vascular plants and plant products according to their distribution by state (for the U.S.) and country taken from over 12,000 literature sources. Currently the database contains 78,000 fungal taxa on 54,000 vascular plant hosts representing 310,000 unique host-fungus combinations. Over 300 countries and territories are included. Records are continuously added as new publications are received. This database was used to produce the book

Fungi The Dingle Dolphin
fungi the Dingle Dolphin is a young bottlenosed dolphin located in Dingle Bay off the South-West coast of Ireland.
http://www.dodingle.com/pages/fungi_dingle_dolphin.html

Extractions: Directory In 1984, a young bottle-nosed dolphin started to appear at the mouth of Dingle Harbour. The now world-famous dolphin has remained in Dingle since, and has become both a friend to the locals and a great "attraction" for visitors. Christened " Fungi " by the local fishermen, the male dolphin lives and plays within a small area at the mouth of Dingle Harbour, overlooked by the lighthouse. A small cave under the cliffs at Burnham is thought to be his home, and from dawn till late night, Fungi is always around to welcome boats, trawlers and yachts to the Town. He is a curious and friendly animal, and has been photographed bringing gifts to divers of still living fish, clasped gently within his jaws. But to show his freedom, Fungi never accepts gifts from divers, or fish thrown from returning trawlers. Fungi rarely ventures far from the mouth of the harbour, a fact that has baffled scientists and specialists. A simple explanation given is that at the time of his arrival, the body of a young female bottlenose was washed up locally. Dolphins are thought to show great fidelity in their relationships, and may only have one mate for life. Every June and July, schools of dolphins are to be seen in the area, although usually further offshore, and once or twice Fungi has been seen playing with these groups. His much-publicised fling with a young dolphin, named Smokey, was expected to cure his love sickness. Unfortunately, Smokey left, and Fungi stayed.

To emphasize the eukaryotic nature of the fungi and its relationship to pathogenesis. 3. To establish familiarity with the scientific terminology peculiar to mycology. 4. To explore the nature of the pathogenesis of fungal infections. 5. To gain familiarity with the classification of medically-important fungi. 6. To develop an understanding of the nature and mode of action of anti-fungal agents. General Properties of Fungi The fungi are more evolutionarily advanced forms of microorganisms, as compared to the prokaryotes (prions, viruses, bacteria). They are classified as eukaryotes , i.e., they have a diploid number of chromosomes and a nuclear membrane and have sterols in their plasma membrane. Genetic complexity allows morphologic complexity and thus these organisms have complex structural features that are used in speciation.

http://www.nyc.gov/html/doh/html/epi/moldrpt1.shtml

Extractions: Executive Summary On May 7, 1993, the New York City Department of Health (DOH), the New York City Human Resources Administration (HRA), and the Mt. Sinai Occupational Health Clinic convened an expert panel on Stachybotrys atra in Indoor Environments. The purpose of the panel was to develop policies for medical and environmental evaluation and intervention to address Stachybotrys atra (now known as Stachybotrys chartarum (SC)) contamination. The original guidelines were developed because of mold growth problems in several New York City buildings in the early 1990's. This document revises and expands the original guidelines to include all fungi (mold). It is based both on a review of the literature regarding fungi and on comments obtained by a review panel consisting of experts in the fields of microbiology and health sciences. It is intended for use by building engineers and management, but is available for general distribution to anyone concerned about fungal contamination, such as environmental consultants, health professionals, or the general public. We are expanding the guidelines to be inclusive of all fungi for several reasons: Aspergillus, Penicillium, Fusarium, Trichoderma
The World Rots Faster As Global Warming Fuels Fungi | LiveScience
Lowly mushrooms and toadstools are reproducing faster, with truly rotten consequences.
http://www.livescience.com/environment/070405_fungus_fruiting.html

Extractions: By Jeanna Bryner , LiveScience Staff Writer posted: 05 April 2007 02:00 pm ET Share this story Fungi are fruiting and spreading more rapidly thanks to global warming, a new study finds. The result: Things are rotting faster. From polka-dotted mushrooms that push through cracks to slender tendrils that peak out from beneath tree barks, fungal freaks are flourishing in their balmy environment. Compared to 50 years ago, many of the fungal species in England and possibly elsewhere now fruit much earlier in the year, and some of them even reproduce twice a year due to warmer temperatures and increased rainfall. It is "unheard of for an organism to start reproducing twice a year instead of once," said the study's lead author Alan Gange of the University of London. More fungi, more rot The surge in reproduction means more fungi. "The amount of mushrooms produced would be about doubled over the course of a year," Gange said. "My guess is if you would do the same study in North America you would get the same results because fungi respond to changes in the seasons." Since fungi "devour" rotting leaves and other forest debris, a feast that boosts decomposition, Gange expects stuff will decay twice as quickly as in the past.

http://www.botanical.com/botanical/mgmh/f/fungi-37.html

Extractions: Fungi are those plants which are colourless; they have no green chlorophyll within them, and it is this green substance which enables the higher plants to build up, under the influence of sunlight, the starches and sugars which ultimately form our food. Having no chlorophyll, fungi cannot use the energy of the sun and must therefore adopt another method of life. They either live as parasites on other living plants or animals, or they live on decaying matter. In either case they derive their energy by breaking up highly complex substances and, when these are broken up in the living plant, the living plant suffers. Many Fungi, such as the bacteria, are microscopic; others form visible growths, from moulds and mildews to the familiar mushroom and toadstools they in crease in size and conspicuousness. Fungi differ from flowering plants in theirchemical influence upon the air. They absorb oxygen and exhale carbonic acid, performing the same office in this respect as animals, which they most resemble in chemical composition. The odours they emit in decay are more like putrescent animal than vegetable matter. Some species, e.g., the Stinkhorns, emit a most intolerably offensive stench; others, on the contrary, are very agreeable to the smell and some 'toadstools' acquire in drying a fine aroma. They are quite as variable to the taste. Numerically, Fungi rank next to flowering plants and in many portions of the globe far exceed them. In Great Britain, indeed, we have just over 5,000 species of Fungi, which number exceeds that of our flowering plants, ferns, mosses, lichens and algae all added together.

The entomologists focusing on these fascinating social insects have long considered the symbiotic relationship between the Macrotermitinae and the fungus Termitomyces was one of interaction specificity, in that one species of termite associated with a single species of fungus, following a system elaborated by co-evolution that began several tens of millions of years ago. A study recently published by an international research team, jointly involving IRD scientists, brought proof that this symbiotic relationship is much more complex and diversified than was suspected. With the aim of understanding better how the ties between the insect and the fungus are forged, samples of termites and associated Termitomyces were taken in South Africa and Senegal, from 101 colonies belonging to eight species divided over three different genera. Analysis of molecular variance using amplification and sequencing of highly variable genome sequences from the termites and fungi gave measurements of the level of symbiotic interaction between fungus and insect depending on hierarchical taxonomic level (genus, species, colony). Strong evidence of variability in the host-symbiont association emerged: it was high between genera, low between species and quite high between colonies of the same species.
