   Extractions: SpruceRoots Magazine - November, 1999 The Biology of Mushrooms by Brigid Cumming There's a lot more to mushrooms than meets the eye, quite literally. Mushroom biology is complicated and the forest/mushroom relationship is just beginning to be studied on Haida Gwaii. Rob Draeseke's, Overview of existing economic information regarding Non-timber Forest Products in British Columbia, a 1998 Ministry of Forests publication, explains that there are three general classes of edible mushrooms: pathogens, saprobes and mutualists. Pathogens attack and often kill living tissue; saprobes live only on dead organic matter. Mutualists (also called micorrhizal) include chanterelles, boletes and pine mushrooms, which are the best known and studied commercially-harvested species. These particular mushrooms are the short-lived visible out-croppings or 'fruiting bodies' of miles and miles of underground mycelial networks. Mutualists enhance a tree's ability to extract water and nutrients from the soil while tapping the tree's store of photosynthetically generated simple sugars and vitamins. This mutually beneficial relationship is called commensal, with the mushroom and tree roots combining to form a hyfal net. While harvesting trees kills the associated mutualist mushroom species, no-one has studied what effect (if any) harvesting mushrooms has on the trees. Mushrooms are both perennial (coming back year after year) and cyclic, with the number of mushrooms varying, sometimes dramatically, from year to year.

   Extractions: Thu Oct 19 16:23:26 EST 2000 I need a detailed introduction to the life cycle and biology of mushrooms. Specifically, I have noticed that some mushroom species like eating wood, and others like to eat grains/cow poop. Are these two separate classifications of fungus some kind of scientific difference? or is it arbitrary? Do mushrooms like to eat all different kinds of things equally, or are these two classes I mentioned the general rule. Is there a name for these two classes of mushrooms? Now, once I figure that stuff out, I need to learn how mushrooms live. What do they consume and excrete on a chemical level? What are their metabolic and respiratory processes. If these processes change at different stages of the life-cycle(mycellial colonization/fruiting), then what are those changes? Where is a resource online or in print that contains answers (in laymans terms) to all of these questions? Thank you very much for your help. Sent via Deja.com http://www.deja.com/

   Extractions: Philip G. Miles, is an expert in the biology of plants and fungi, and serves as president of the World Society of Mushroom Biology and Mushroom Products. A faculty member since 1956, he is a 1998 recipient of the Chancellor's Award for Excellence in Teaching. What got you interested in studying edible fungi, especially mushrooms? Do you eat many mushrooms yourself? Yes. I enjoy many mushrooms, especially the fresh shiitake, wood's ear, portabella, and others that now are readily available in our local markets. What is the benefit to adding mushrooms to one's diet? Mushrooms are relatively high in protein of good quality, containing all the essential amino acids and being rich in lysine and leucine, which are either low or lacking in most staple cereal foods. Mushrooms are low in total fat and have a high percentage of polyunsaturated fatty acids. They have relatively large amounts of carbohydrates, and most species possess nutritionally valuable amounts of fiber. Mushrooms contain significant amounts of water-soluble vitamins (thiamine, riboflavin, niacin and ascorbic acid), as well as minerals. There also is evidence that some species produce compounds that enhance the patient's host defense mechanism, which may offset some of the detrimental side effects brought about by anti-cancer chemotherapy. How can you tell a dangerous mushroom from a good one in the forest or in your backyard?

This book sets the parameters of Mushroom Biology in a concise manner and also emphasizes trends and points out future directions which will lead to a greater utilization of mushrooms and mushroom products. The discipline was established to bring together persons who have in common scientific or commercial interests involving mushrooms. The authors' definition of mushroom is more broad than the usual mycological definition so that macrofungi other than Basidiomycetes can be included. Mushrooms may be edible, non-edible, poisonous or medicinal species, with hypogeous or epigeous fruiting bodies, and their texture may be fleshy or non-fleshy. Many aspects of Mushroom Biology are presented, including nutritional and medicinal uses, the role of mushrooms in bioremediation, biotechnology, and in the bioconversion of waste organic materials into forms that can enter the major nutrient cycles.

    Extractions: The Produce Marketing Association (PMA) monitors concerns of the produce industry and informs its membership. From nutrition to food safety, PMA strives to give its members the information they need when they need it, with insight and analysis. Some of the issues PMA actively monitors include biotechnology, fresh-cut produce and lab testing for microorganisms. BIOTECHNOLOGY People have been eating foods processed through biotechnology for many years. These biotech processes include breeding and selection techniques and fermentation, which have been used for centuries to produce cheese, bread, wine, and many other foods. In fact, virtually all plants used for food have been genetically modified to create new plant varieties with desirable traits.

    Extractions: Funded by MAFF and HDC Pests are a constant threat to the successful commercial production of mushrooms. Uncontrolled populations of any of the main mushroom pests can result in substantial losses in yield due to both direct larval action and associated disease spread by adult flies. Research is aimed at developing optimised pest control strategies that integrate insect and mushroom biology with biological and chemical control. Contact: Phil-F.White@hri.ac.uk or Jane.Smith@hri.ac.uk Natural tolerance or resistance to mushroom pests is being studied in a range of Agaricus species. The mechanisms of resistance are being elucidated. Research will facilitate future breeding programmes for cultivated mushrooms and aid insect control strategies by limiting the reproduction rate of any particular pest. Flies emerging from compost through which various species of Agaricus are growing, are caught on sticky traps. Pest population dynamics is being studied. Efficient use of any control method, especially a biological one, depends on efficient targeting of the pest. Poor targeting can have have serious implications for resistance acquisition, unnecessary environmental pollution, product credibility, control failures and crop loss. Research will aid optimal and minimal use of pesticides and the development of practical biological control agents.

    Extractions: Asian countries have been the leaders in research on the medicinal value of several edible mushrooms. While animal research has been the dominant method of study in the past, researchers are now more involved in clinical trials using human subjects. Most of the research has been cancer related, but results have also shown a reduction of blood pressure and cholesterol, enhancement of the immune system, antiviral and anti-inflammatory properties, treatment of anaphylactic shock, anti-HIV properties, and an increase of oxygen utilization and antioxidant properties as a result of using mushroom extracts during therapy (Chen and Miles, 1996). Ganoderma lucidum (reishi), Lentinula edodes (shiitake), Hericium erinaceum (lions mane), Pleurotus ostreatus (oyster mushroom), and Grifola frondosa (maitake) are just a few of the cultivated mushroom species that have been analyzed for medicinal value. There are, however, over 270 known mushrooms with medicinal benefits. In the United States, the phytopharmaceutical value of these mushrooms has only recently been recognized and clinical trials have been established to determine the medicinal characteristics of these mushrooms (Kimmons, 2003; Underwood, 2003). The principal medicinal component of most of these mushrooms is high-molecular-weight polysaccharides. Over the next year each edition of this newsletter will document clinical trials or research recommendations for the use and effectiveness of various mushrooms. While the recommendations given by researchers are assumed to be accurate, you should always check with a physician before using any food supplements. Today's mushroom is
