Extractions: What are Fungi? Fungi are many-celled organisms that decompose dead matter in our environment. Thus, they are Consumers and a very important one. Fungi and bacteria are responsible for doing the major cleaning role in our environment. In fact, they are in competition with one another for materials to decompose. Fungi are found in soil, dead trees and even on your bread sometimes. For much more information look below. Types of Fungi Back To Home

The world database of fungal names ( IndexFungorum; a.k.a. funindex SBML . A new collaboration between Centraalbureau voor Schimmelcultures ( CBS ) and CABI Bioscience will see a significant increase in the information content in Index Fungorum. A name record will usually have a reference to an entry in one of the bibliographic catalogues cited above and, in addition, more recent records from the Index of Fungi will have the full citation from the source publication (excluding those from the last 5 years). Author citations conform with the standard (now searchable on line through IPNI new version of the Index of Fungi Supplement: Authors of Fungal Names is now available for free download . Many records include information on taxonomic synonymy and publication details derived from numerous acknowledged sources. You may search the database by either the species name or the specific epithet.
Naming And Classification Of Fungi And Other Organisms

Extractions: Naming and Classification of Fungi Introduction Although it is something that we give little thought to, the naming and classification of objects play an important role in society. Imagine the problems that we would have if we were not given names and if we did not name our cities, streets or pets. Now imagine if we did not classify the books that are in our libraries, tools in hardware stores, video tapes in video stores, etc. Without names for objects and a system to classify them, it would be impossible or at least be very difficult to organize, categorize and find information for which we are searching. It should not be a surprise then that there is a discipline in biology called taxonomy that studies the classification and naming of organisms. Presently, there are approximately 1.5 million species of organisms that have been described by biologists and each year thousand of new species are described by science. It is estimated that the total number of species may range from 5 to 30 million. With such a rich diversity of life on this planet, naming and classifying this many organisms would be a difficult task, to say the least. However, such a system must be constructed if our knowledge in biology is to advance. The job of the taxonomist is a difficult one. The general public thinks of them as snobbish because they refer to organisms with "fancy names". The reputation of the taxonomist is often not regarded in high esteem even among scientist because of its descriptive rather than experimental nature. Christensen (1961), a well respected mycologist-plant pathologist, describes taxonomist as "those who spend their time putting living things into pigeonholes, a low but necessary form of scientific endeavor". The lay person often wonders why taxonomist must refer to onions as

Extractions: Please click HERE to get to the new website. The New York Mycological Society is a nonprofit organization of 150 members who share an interest in mycology (the study of mushrooms and fungi) as well as in mycophagy (the eating of mushrooms.) The present NYMS was reincarnated some 40 years ago by the composer John Cage and a small group of other mushroom lovers and students. Fungi also help nourish trees and other plants, thus playing a key role in the health of our forests. And yes, some fungi can also play a destructive role in nature by attacking living things such as trees.Most mushrooms are not poisonous and quite a few are very good edibles. But some are very toxic and a few are deadly! Unfortunately there are no simple foolproof rules to distinguish the edible from the poisonous. One must learn individual mushroom species if one plans on eating mushrooms. The most important point is that no one should ever eat unknown mushrooms! When in doubt, throw it out!
Introduction To The Fungi

Extractions: Introduction to the Fungi In this part of the course, we will be studying the organisms that are referred to as fungi Botany 135 home page . The emphasis here, instead, will be to study the relationships of the various groups of fungi and attempt to make sense of their phylogeny. Classification of Fungi Once upon a time biologist only recognized two kingdoms: Plant and Animal (this was how organisms were classified when I was an undergraduate). Fungi, as well as bacteria and algae were classified in the plant kingdom under this system and that is the reason that these organisms are traditionally studied in botany. In the case of fungi, MYCOLOGY is that part of botany that studies fungi. Although fungi are no longer classified as plants, there is still good reason to study them in botany. Fungi are most often associated with plants, commonly as decomposers, and pathogens, and as their benefactors, e.g. mycorrhiza , but "What is a fungus?" Based on what your studies on plants, in this course, you know that plants are known to be derived from a single algal ancestor from the algal division: Chlorophyta, i.e. they are monophyletic . Once upon a time, the fungi were also believed to be monophyletic and to be derived from an algal ancestor that lost its ability to photosynthesize. However, over time, with the discovery of new techniques in determining relationships between organisms, it was discovered that the fungi are made up of a polyphyletic group of organisms that, in some cases, are very distantly related to one another. Thus, organisms that we call fungi are not grouped together because they are closely related, but rather because they share a combination of characteristics that we will now go over:
Edible And Poisonous Mushrooms
A short guide with diagrams of some poisonous and edible fungi.
http://www.conservation.state.mo.us/nathis/mushrooms/mushroom/

Extractions: EACH SPRING AND FALL, when the weather is warm and rainy and the biggest mushroom flushes of the year occur, my desk at the conservation department overflows with wild mushrooms to be identified. Most of the people who bring in these mushrooms want to make sure that the tasty-looking morsels they have collected are in fact edible and won't send them racing to the emergency room a few hours after supper. Often they are interested in collecting other wild mushrooms for the table but are aware of the dangers and don't know quite where to start. I certainly appreciate their caution. Because a few wild mushrooms are deadly and many more are mildly poisonous, mushroom hunting is not a hobby for the careless or uninformed. On the other hand, neither is it necessarily the death-defying feat that many people imagine. There are a number of good edible mushrooms that are easy to recognize and hard to confuse with anything dangerously poisonous. (Poisonous mushrooms are often referred to as "toadstools," but this is a folk name that has no precise meaning. In this article, they will be called simply poisonous mushrooms.) The purpose of this article is twofold: to help you identify a number of safe, edible wild mushrooms while avoiding mushroom poisoning, and to introduce you to the gentle sport of mushroom hunting, which among other things is a fine excuse to walk in the woods. It is divided into three sections: Edible Mushrooms, Poisonous Mushrooms and More About Mushrooms. Please read all three sections before you start collecting.

But how? And why? And what do they have to teach us? Both scientists believe that the leafcutters' ability to grow and harvest fungi is akin to human agriculture. Using techniques in molecular biology, they and a team of researchers discovered that the most sophisticated leafcutters had propagated one fungus lineage for at least 23 million years. And, most surprisingly, Schultz and Mueller, with aid from other scientists, have surmised that the fungi themselves may have played an important role in ant farming. Possibly the fungi have developed tricks to fool the ants into moving and harvesting them, enabling the fungi to thrive more than they could on their own. Perhaps, Schultz suggests, a careful study of the ants will yield ways for humans to farm more sustainably. For more information on this topic, see our
