Candida Krusei, Geotrichum, And Acaulospora Scrobiculata, A Trio Of Fungi Needed Tom Volk explains how Acaulospora scrobiculata forms a mycorrhizal relationship with the cacao tree, and other fungi help ferment the fruit pulp in the chocolate making process. http://botit.botany.wisc.edu/toms_fungi/feb2006.html

Candida krusei, Geotrichum , and Acaulospora scrobiculata a trio of fungi needed for making chocolate for Valentine's day Tom Volk's Fungus of the Month for February 2006 Please click TomVolkFungi.net for the rest of Tom Volk's pages on fungi by Tom Volk with photographs by Becky Curland One of the best gifts to get for Valentine's day is a heart-shaped box of chocolates but do you know where the chocolate came from? Did you know that without fungi there would be no chocolate? It's true! Although not on the ingredients panel, fungi are necessary for both the growth of the cacao tree and the manufacture of chocolate. Before we talk about the fungi, we need to say a little about the origins and history of the "chocolate tree," scientifically known as Theobroma cacao . We don't know much about early native uses of cacao, mainly because the conquistadors and Catholic missionaries attempted to destroy most of the native religious and social structure of the natives in their zeal to convert them to Christianity. There are a few pottery artifacts that remain, and these indicate use of the fungi by the Aztecs, who lived in Central America at least as long ago as the first century A.D. by today's calendar. We don't know exactly when they started using cacao, but the preparation and use of Theobroma (literally "food of the gods") continues in much the same way in those same areas.

Fungi Three chief characteristics of fungi: basic structural unit is almost always hypha (a, b) reproductive propagule almost always spore (c, usually single-celled) nutrition is heterotrophic and absorptive (they secrete enzymes that break down organic matter, then absorb soluble products) Other important characteristics: mostly multicellular mostly non-motile rigid cell wall usually containing chitin indeterminate growth What role do fungi play in the forest? saprobes pathogens symbionts ( mycorrhizae lichens You may be asking yourself, "Why do I need to learn about fungi? I want to learn about tree diseases and what to do about them." Good question. You will find that fungi are overwhelmingly the most important pathogens of trees. In order to understand the diseases they cause, how the disease spreads, etc., you have to understand the fungi themselves to some extent. If you are to understand diseases, it is important that you work very hard, now, to master the overall classification of the fungi and the related details. Do it now and really make sure you've got it. If you wait, you will build your knowledge of forest pathology on a shaky foundation. It's up to you. You should know well the phyla and most of the subgroups.

44. Jelly Fungi Information and photographs of jelly fungi from the three orders Tremellales, Auriculariales and Dacrymycetales. http://www.botany.hawaii.edu/faculty/wong/Bot201/Basidiomycota/Jelly_Fungi.htm

Basidiomycetes Jelly Fungi The last group of Basidiomycetes that we will discuss has commonly been referred to as the "Jelly Fungi" because of the jelly-like consistency of the basidiocarp. This type of basidiocarp becomes shrunken and shriveled, when dried, but with available moisture revives to its former consistency. This type of basidiocarp is said to be gelatinous .The life cycle of this order is the same as that in mushrooms. There are several orders in this group of fungi and they are delimited by the morphology of their basidium. The basidia are typically septate, the exception being the tunning fork basidium, which is aseptate, but is deeply lobed and produce only two basidiospores. Three orders will be described below: The Tremellales, Auriculariales and Dacrymycetales. Order: Tremellales This order produces cruciate septate basidia (Fig. 1). This basidium type is so-called because when viewed, from above, under a compound microscope, the basidium can be seen to be divided, evenly, into four chambers by septa that intersect at right angles. The intersection of the septa forms a cross or crucifix . The basidiocarps are too variable to describe. However, we will look at a few species of

AQUATIC PATHOGENS -Fungi- This is one of a series of literature review documents on pathogenic organisms in water. The series includes documents on protozoans, helminth worms, viruses, fungi, algae, cyanophytes and bacteria. They are meant to list those organisms that may be of concern in water supplies, outline their life cycles, habitats, effects, sources and mechanisms of spread. We need to be aware of the full spectrum of pathogens that are potential contaminants in our water supplies so that we may devise withdrawal protocols or treatment methods to reduce or eliminate the risk to our health. The recommendations presented are those found in the literature, promoted by other jurisdictions or those of the author. These documents are compilations and presentations of information which may be of use in determining orders, codes of practice, policy, recommendations, guidelines or other actions but do not constitute policy, guidelines or recommendations. Table of Contents DEFINITIONS INTRODUCTION FUNGAL DISEASES Introduction ... REFERENCES DEFINITIONS XXX Return To The Top of the Page INTRODUCTION Mycology is the branch of biology that deals with the study of fungi. Medical Mycology is a specialized area concerned with the study of fungi that are capable of causing disease in humans and animals. It has been estimated that there are approximately 1.5 million species of fungi and of these approximately 400 species have so far been found to cause disease in humans and animals. Athletes foot, ringworm and vaginal thrush are well-known human fungal infections. In comparison with the bacteria, viruses, helminth worms and protozoans, which are often parasitic, the saprophytic fungi are a relatively unimportant primary cause of water-borne disease.

50. Edible Fungi Paul F. Hamlyn provides advice on buying mushrooms in UK markets, collecting them in the wild, and cultivating them. http://fungus.org.uk/nwfg/edible.htm

Edible Fungi by Paul F Hamlyn If you are interested in the culinary aspects of mycology there are three basic ways to obtain edible fungi: Collect from the wild - definitely not recommended unless you are sufficiently expert to distinguish between edible species and their poisonous lookalikes. Some so called edible species need to be cooked in a certain way to break down toxins. Buy from shops - many supermarkets in the UK now sell a range of species including fresh wild mushrooms. Home cultivation - the most difficult but potentially the most rewarding method. Currently indoor cultivation is limited to saprotrophic species. Collect from the wild It is not possible to provide adequate guidance to the identification of edible and poisonous species of fungi on a Web page. Fungi are very variable in appearance (e.g. due on age and environmental conditions) and most species can't be accurately identified simply by looking at pictures. There are no reliable rules about which mushrooms are safe to eat and which are poisonous. The best advice is to join a local fungus recording group and go out with experts who can teach you how to identify specific species. Do not eat any mushroom unless you are absolutely sure of its identity. In addition, you should not collect endangered or rare species. Read the Wild Mushroom Pickers' Code of Conduct before collecting fungi for scientific study or for the pot.

www.trufflesbg.co.cc www.trufflesbg.co.cc TRUFFLE SPECIES Truffles are fungi that live below ground, associated with the roots of certain trees such as oak, beech, willow, linden, hazel, poplar, hornbeam and other. Although many types of truffles are known in Europe, only few of them have culinary value. This special type of sponge is valued because of its strong and exceptional flavor. According to the ancient Greeks and Romans, truffles and medicinal properties have been considered an aphrodisiac. Although today is not believed to have therapeutic properties, it is undisputed that, with its unique flavor are considered a delicacy indeed accurate. And not only ... Are also valuable because they are very rare and hard to find. Looking mainly with well trained dogs. Their form is roughly circular, but sometimes uneven with bulges and cavities, depending on the type of soil in which they are formed. Truffle is made from a fruit body produced by vegetative mycelium connected with the tops of the roots of trees symbionts. The fruit body is formed as a result of the occurrence of favorable weather conditions for each species and is responsible for the sexual reproduction of sponge. Wild animals also contribute to this process. The ideal climate for truffles is: winter night with minimum temperatures of up to -5 C ° and daily between 10 and 14 C °, spring with alternating periods of heat and high humidity, hot summers with frequent thunderstorms and much rain fall. Most wanted truffles are: white truffle of Alba and Piedmont (Tuber Magnatum) and black winter truffle (Tuber Melanosporum). Several other types of truffles, which have market value are not as aromatic

Table of Contents Nutrition Structure Reproduction Ecology: Some Important Symbiotic Relationships ... Reproduction in Club Fungi Nutrition Fungi (kingdom Fungi) are heterotrophs . They cannot manufacture their own food as photosynthetic organisms can. Most species of fungi are saprotrophic ; they decompose dead matter. Many are parasitic ; they obtain nutrients from living organisms. Fungi are the principle decomposers in every ecosystem. They can break down most organic compounds including lignin, a compound that is a major component of wood and is very difficult to break down or digest. Some species are parasites and others are mutualistic They have extracellular digestion by secreting enzymes into environment and absorbing the nutrients produced. Fungi store their food as glycogen (like animals). Plants and green algae store their food as starch. Structure Yeasts are single-celled but most fungal species are multicellular.

Tom Volk's Fungus of the Month for April 2001 This month's fungus is Agaricus bisporus , the white button mushroom or pizza mushroom, also known as Portabella and Crimini by Tom Volk and Kelly Ivors For the rest of my pages on fungi, please click TomVolkFungi.net This is my first collaborative Fungus of the Month! This month's co-author, shown to the left, is Kelly Ivors , was (at the time this was written) a graduate student at Penn State University. Kelly has finished her Ph.D. project of identifying (through PCR and other methods) the bacterial and fungal associates important in composting, the first step in producing this month's fungus. You'll see the important role of composting in the production of these mushrooms further down the page. Kelly has finished her PhD and is now a postdoc at the University of California, Berkeley. Agaricus bisporus is the interesting name for this mushroom. Agaricus , cleverly, means gilled mushroom. In the early days of mycology, every gilled mushroom was placed in the genus Agaricus . Now Agaricus is restricted to saprophytic mushrooms with a chocolate brown spore print and usually an annulus (ring) around the stalk. The epithet "

Supplemental Lecture (97/05/01 update) by Stephen T. Abedon abedon.1@osu.edu Chapter title : Fungi A list of vocabulary words is found toward the end of this document Fungi are chemoheterotrophic, mostly aerobic or facultatively anaerobic organisms. They live in soil or in water and employ exoenzymes to decompose mostly dead plant material, which they then absorb (i.e., they are saprophytes, they live off of dead organisms). In general, they are adapted to niches similar to those occupied by bacteria though in environments which are hostile to bacteria (drier, more acidic, unusual carbohydrates, etc.). All fungi develop from spores and no fungi display flagella, cilia, or chloroplasts. The Kingdom Myceteae (the fungi) includes the fleshy fungi, the molds (or hyphae), and the yeasts. There are about 100,000 known species of fungi of which about 100 are pathogenic to animals (fungal infections are called mycoses.). Not surprisingly, given how the majority of fungi make their living, thousands are pathogenic to plants, many more than there are bacteria serving as plant pathogens. Advice: Although mushrooms are certainly fungi, don't let a vague understanding of mushroom biology serve as a stand in for actually learning this material. I've seen this happen sufficiently often that I will be bold enough to predict that a large fraction of you would do this if not so warned (and, indeed, might do so even having been warned).

B ut nothing could be further from the truth: Life on Earth could not exist without fungi Fungi are essential for (1) proper plant root function, and (2) breaking down dead organic material into simple compounds that plants can absorb. Introduction When we think of fungi, we usually think of mushrooms, either the kind in the grocery store or the type that grow on the forest floor after a rain. Compared to redwoods, they are rather small, and compared to crops like corn or wheat, they seem insignificant and unimportant, rather a minor player, a small, insignificant plant we can ignore.
