http://www.nhm.ku.edu/~fungi/

Extractions: Summary Trichomycetes are a cosmopolitan class of fungi that grow obligately in the guts of insects, crustaceans, and millipedes that live in freshwater, marine, or terrestrial habitats. This project involves the taxonomy and evolution of these gut fungi and their hosts, with special emphasis on the dipteran family Chironomidae (midges). Studies are intended to enlarge our knowledge of the kinds and distribution of extant species, and phylogenetic and biogeographic studies will provide theories about how these fungi and their insect hosts have co-evolved. Many Trichomycetes appear to be commensalistic, but under particular circumstances the gut fungi may provide their hosts with some essential organic nutrients. At least one species, Smittium morbosum , is lethal to mosquito larvae, and fungal species in blackflies and other insects are known to invade the ovary and produce cysts which are "oviposited" by females in lieu of eggs, thus reducing the fertility in populations of those kinds of aquatic insects.

Extractions: Science fair project ideas using mushrooms and fungi Mushroom growing offers endless possibilities for science projects and experiments. Below I offer a few ideas, and there are links at the bottom to my pages offering the peroxide-in-mushroom-growing manual, Growing Mushrooms the Easy Way, Home Mushroom Cultivation with Hydrogen Peroxide Basics of Mushroom growing : Read this for an overview of the process. Here are some projects you can do, starting with a mushroom kit (or a pair of kits, one for a control). A mushroom kit is ready to start forming mushrooms when you receive it. But remember to plan ahead and give yourself enough time for the mushrooms to growthis usually takes two to three weeks. (Sorry, I am no longer selling kitssee my Links page for other suppliers). With a kit, you can test things like: What happens to mushrooms grown with no light, or too much light? No moisture, or too much moisture? No fresh air? What color of light has the most positive effect on mushroom formation?

Extractions: Soils Home Soil Quality SQ Concepts Soil Organic Matter ... Site Map Search Soil Quality All Soils All NRCS Sites for By Elaine R. Ingham THE LIVING SOIL: FUNGI Fungi are microscopic cells that usually grow as long threads or strands called hyphae, which push their way between soil particles, roots, and rocks. Hyphae are usually only several thousandths of an inch (a few micrometers) in diameter. A single hyphae can span in length from a few cells to many yards. A few fungi, such as yeast, are single cells. Hyphae sometimes group into masses called mycelium or thick, cord-like rhizomorphs that look like roots. Fungal fruiting structures (mushrooms) are made of hyphal strands, spores, and some special structures like gills on which spores form. (See figure) A single individual fungus can include many fruiting bodies scattered across an area as large as a baseball diamond. Fungi perform important services related to water dynamics, nutrient cycling, and disease suppression. Along with bacteria, fungi are important as decomposers in the soil food web. They convert hard-to-digest organic material into forms that other organisms can use. Fungal hyphae physically bind soil particles together, creating stable aggregates that help increase water infiltration and soil water holding capacity.

OSH Answers Feedback Printer Friendly Layout Inquiries Service Why does mould grow in homes or buildings? Moulds and fungi are found in nature and are necessary for the breakdown of leaves, wood and other plant debris. These micro-organisms can enter a building directly or by their spores being carried in by the air. In a home or building, moulds and fungi are usually found growing on wood, drywall (plaster/gypsum/Sheetrock(R)), upholstery, fabric, wallpaper, drapery, ceiling tiles, and carpeting. The key factor is moisture because moulds and fungi need it to grow. As a result, moulds and fungi are most often found in basements, kitchens and bathrooms.

http://vilenski.org/science/safari/fungus/fungus.html

Extractions: Fungi can be found everywhere. Mushrooms, the yeast to make bread and the mold to make blue cheese are types of fungi. If you find mold on the bread in your kitchen or mildew on your shower curtain you are also seeing types of fungi. Like plants, fungi cannot move. Unlike plants, fungi don't contain chlorophyll and therefore cannot make their own food. Most fungi feed on dead or decaying tissues. This is why you usually see mushrooms on the sides of dead trees. Most species of fungi are many-celled. Toadstools, the often inedible or even poisonous mushroomlike fungi are not called "toadstools" because toads actually use them as stools. The word derives from the German words tod and stuhl , meaning "death stool," in reference to the poisonous nature of many of these fungi.

Extractions: Fungi are one of the most prolific types of life on earth. They are found nearly everywhere.....in the food we eat, in the air we breathe, and especially in the soil we walk on or till. Although three groups of fungi exist, mushrooms, molds, and yeasts, only two of them are awarded status as "microbes". The yeasts are true unicellular organisms, although some of them can switch to multicellular affairs. And the molds, although multicellular and often visible to the unaided eye, generally are able to reproduce sexually or asexually by the formation of spores which are indeed, microscopic. The mushrooms and toadstools and their allies are usually reserved for study by botanists, while the molds and yeasts are typically in the purview of microbiologists. Fungi are eucaryotic microbes, and the fungal cell is usually several times larger than a bacterial cell. Like all eucaryotes, and as a consequence of its large size, there is specialization of different cellular functions in various organelles, including the nucleus, golgi body, endoplasmic reticula, vacuoles and mitochondria.

Extractions: Top Stories Magazine Wired Blogs All Wired Main By Aaron Rowe Categories: Biotechnology Conference Energy Environment Scientists at the Indian Institute of Chemical Technology have found a much better way to make biodiesel. Their new method could lower the cost and increase the energy efficiency of fuel production. Instead of mixing the ingredients and heating them for hours, the chemical engineers pass sunflower oil and methanol through a bed of pellets made from fungal spores. An enzyme produced by the fungus does the work making biodiesel with impressive efficiency. Last Monday, Ravichandra Potumarthi showed off his work during a poster session at the International Conference on Bioengineering and Nanotechnology . After returning to his lab in Hyderabad, he was able to send out some pictures of his experimental reactor (shown on right) and the fungal pellets. Typically, biodiesel is made by mixing methanol with lye and vegetable oil and then heating the brew for several hours. This bonds the methanol to the oils to produce energetic molecules called esters. Unfortunately, heating the mixture is a huge waste of energy, and a major selling point of alternative fuels is efficiency. An enzyme called lipase can link link oil to methanol without any extra heating, but the pure protein is expensive. Potumarthi has a simple solution. Why bother purifying the lipase? It would be easier to just find an organism that produces plenty of the enzyme and squish it into pellets. In this case, the fungus
