Votes:0 Introduction to the Fungi Of athlete's foot, champignons, and beer. . . The Kingdom Fungi includes some of the most important organisms, both in terms of their ecological and economic roles. By breaking down dead organic material, they continue the cycle of nutrients through ecosystems. In addition, most vascular plants could not grow without the symbiotic fungi, or mycorrhizae , that inhabit their roots and supply essential nutrients. Other fungi provide numerous drugs (such as penicillin and other antibiotics), foods like mushrooms, truffles and morels, and the bubbles in bread, champagne, and beer. Fungi also cause a number of plant and animal diseases: in humans, ringworm, athlete's foot, and several more serious diseases are caused by fungi. Because fungi are more chemically and genet Read More Go to Site

Votes:0 Mushrooms are our most unique growing vegetable; and mushroom growing is one of the most unusual stories in agriculture. Here is a summary of the growth cycles of some of our most popular cultivated mushroom varieties. For more in-depth mushroom growing information, see Six Steps to Mushroom Farming. White mushrooms, like all mushrooms, grow from microscopic spores, not seeds. Plants growing from spores are called fungi. A mature mushroom will drop as many as 16 billion spores. Spores must be collected in the nearly sterile environment of a laboratory and then used to inoculate grains or seeds to produce a product called spawn (the mushroom farmer's equivalent of seed). Because mushrooms have no chlorophyll, they must get all their nutrients from organic matter in their growing medium. The Read More Go to Site

Votes:0 Page 7 of 38 Natural Perspective The Fungus Kingdom (Last modified: 3 Jan 2002) In addition to the beauty of mushrooms, fungi provide a critical part of nature's continuous rebirth: fungi recycle dead organic matter into useful nutrients. Sometimes the fungus doesn't wait for the biomatter to die, in which case the fungus is called a parasite. Many plants, however, are dependent on the help of a fungus to get their own nutrients, living in a symbiotic relationship called a mycorrhizal association . Plants aren't the only ones, however, to enjoy fungi . Fungi digest food outside their bodies: they release enzymes into the surrounding environment, breaking down organic matter into a form the fungus can absorb. Mycorrhizal associates benefit from this by absorbing materials digested by the fu Read More Go to Site

Swift, Ph.D. Colorado State University Extension Tri River Area Slime Mold on Bark Mulch Introduction : Summer is a time of beauty with flower gardens exhibiting all shades of color and texture. Even the various bark mulches used to shade the soil and retain moisture add greatly to this beauty. Redwood bark, reddish brown when first scattered over the ground, turns a brownish gray. Aspen bark, while gray when applied, turns black as it ages. Occasionally during the summer gardeners notice a growth on their bark mulch which closely resembles - should I say it - Dog Vomit.

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 Read More Go to Site
