I spent several years as a research assistant at Monterey Mushrooms Research Lab, where we supported a company growing thousands of tons of Agaricus bisporus. The species is also found in the "wild", for example on the Pebble Beach golf course, where my former boss liked to look for isolates. Although the knowledge is not popular with companies that make a lot of money from the strains, you can cut a piece of the cap tissue (be as sterile as possible), and grow it on a petri dish.

This agaricus mail was delivered accidently before I reviewed my text... The original text should be as: I am interested in wild strains of Agaricus Bisporus from "unusual" and "faraway" places. It would be a nice addition to our culture collection. Here is a summary of responses to my mail about obtaining agaricus samples: "Nathan J. Wilson" writes: >I believe Rick Kerrigan who I believe is now >at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver has >been collecting wild straings of A. bisporus Rick Kerrigen started the Agaricus Resource Programme (ARP) at the University of Toronto. A number of Agaricus varieties are available in this collection. Rick Kerrigan moved from the Toronto to Sylvan Spawn a privately held company. The exp. station has access to the ARP collection. In order to extend our collection even more I was asking about Agaricus bisporus samples. Several Postings where made about commercial availability of Agaricus Bisporus. carterg1@rnisd0.dnet.roche.com writes: >Yes, Agaricus bisporus is the common white cultivated >button mushroom. This is true. The popular commonly cultivated white mushroom is often agaricus bisporus. The popular bisporus strains Horst U1 and Horst U3 (trademarks) were first made at the institute where I am working. Because Agaricus Bisporus is commercially produced on such a huge scale it is (more or less) difficult to find new varieties that have not escaped from commercial practice.

It seems that he has a method that utilizes a mushroom bed (Stropharia rugoso-annulata) to reduces fecal bacteria before releasing to the watershed. Is anyone doing this on a large scale anywhere? Also does the absorption of this "crap" seem to cause any adverse mutations in the resulting fruitbodies?

I could be wrong (I'm not sure I even spelled >> it right). > >I thought it was A. campestris. The name A. campestris was used for a long time to refer to the cultivated species, despite the fact the the formal description for A. campestris depicts a mushroom quite different from the "store-bought" mushroom. Agaricus campestris is really the Meadow Mushroom, a tasty white mushroom that grows wild around here (New York state) in large numbers. Better names for the "store-bought" mushroom are A. brunnescens and A. bisporus. Which name you choose depends on your ideas about what a couple of mycologists were really looking at earlier this century. Charles Horton Peck described A. brunnescens back in 1900, whereas the name bisporus (as Psalliota hortensis var. bisporus) wasn't published until 1926, by Jakob Lange. If those two mycologists were really describing the same fungal species, the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature specifies that the older name, Peck's A. brunnescens, should be used. Unfortunately, this is a difficult issue to resolve, because the specimen on which Peck based his name is in poor shape. Eminent mycologists have argued both ways. Although I personally think the latest data points to A. brunnescens Peck as being more appropriate than A. bisporus (Lange) Imbach, you may want to examine the arguments and make up your own mind which name to use: Malloch, D., Castle, A., and Hintz, W. 1987. Further evidence for Agaricus brunnescens Peck as the preferred name for the cultivated Agaricus. Mycologia 79: 839-846. Singer, R. 1984.

I am a senior at Humboldt State University (California) where I am majoring in both Environmental Biology and Botany. My real life's-blood is MYCOLOGY and I am especially intrigued by lichen ecology. For this summer, I am willing to do almost any sort of grunge research type work within the fields of botany and mycology. Any time, any where. All I ask is that either I get enough money out of it to keep up on my rent and other bills back here and can stay reasonably warm, dry, and fed wherever you put me. Or if it's a great enough experience, I might be able to dig some of that money out of my parents or bank. In fact, if you take me on an expidition to research lichens in greenland I might be able to dig up most of the money myself. I'll be available from May 20 to Sept. 4. Rather than use a lot of your mail space for a complete resume (which I can send you if you are interested) I'll just mention a few of my accomplishments. Eagle Scout GPA=3.01 (rising fast now that I can get financial aid; 3.93 last semester) Travels to:Indonesia, Brazil, the Philippenes, Japan Exchange student for 1 year in Denmark Conversational ability in Danish Brief explorations into Latin (full semester), Russian, German, and French (high school) 8 mo. experience as Glassware Washer 9 mo. experience as Lab.

The spores are released when they are mature. The releasing "mecanic" depend upon the mushroom group (ascomycetes, gasteromycetes,...). One good exemple is the puff ball (Lycoperdon, Calvatia,...). 2. The spores are characterised by their color (spore print), their reaction to some chemical (Melzer's solution,...), their length and width (in micron), their shape and the ornementations on the spores. Unfortunately, there's no standarized vocabulary to describe the forms of the spores. A spore globulose for an author is spherical for another. Look at the pictures in mycological guides; they illustrate well the form and ornementation of differents types of spores. You must know that mushroom's spores are not arranged in official groups like the mushrooms (order, family, genus,...). The same spore form can occurs in two or three differents genus. Spore form is just one in many features we must look at to identify a mushroom specie.

I am a PhD student studying the bacterial ecology of Sitka spruce stumps. I shall be screening bacteria (and yeasts) isolated for production of various enzymes including cellulase. I like to keep things simple so am looking for an agar medium which simply changes colour or clears around any colonies producing cellulase. I have tried using cellulose within the medium but it sank to the bottom of the dish too quickly before the agar set. I have found references using cellulose-azur but not within an agar medium. If anyone knows of a recipe of a medium using cellulose-azur or references which may be of help I would be grateful if you could email them to me. Thanks in advance!

I know Fungi Perfecti sells a kit but it is one that is done outdoors. According to Stamets "Growing Gourmet and Medicinal Mushrooms", Morel Mountain is the only place that has a patented process for commercial cultivation. Is this true? I've seen kits in plant catalogs (The Gourmet Mushroom Co.) that promise some pretty "amazing" things so I thought I would check with the experts to make sure.

Although I haven't had any practical experience and only slightly more of an introduction to the technical and scientific side of mycology, I know that that is where I want to be. I will start on my botany major at UC Davis (in California) in a couple semesters and I was wondering what I can expect in the future. What is there for a PhD in mycology besides professorship (not that I'm ruling this out, I'm just trying to assess the possibilities)? What should I do in the mean-time? I have been looking for any type of internship related to mycology (or even botany), but with no luck. Does anyone know of someone I can contact about this? I am fascinated (and always have been) by mushrooms and their fleshy fungi friends, and I am very excited at the prospect of studying them as a career. I am also eager to learn of other people who share my interest in them. I have the addresses of a few organizations revolving around mycology, but I have yet to find a comprehensive list or someone who can give me some feedback. Is there anyone out there who can help me out? Take me under their wing? Or push me in the right direction? I would greatly appreciate any response that I can get from this post.

It is a slow growing fungus which forms stromata in the lesion it produces in the needle. Isolation of the stromata results in growth of other faster growing fungi present on the needle, and antibiotic selection has not improved this at all (streptomycin and dothistromin used so far). I have also tried surface sterilising the stromata with 10% sodium hypochlorite for 5 minutes before exposing the inner mycelia, but this results in no growth of anything. I plan to try a variety of lower sterilisation concentration and times, but was wondering if anyone has any experience/bright ideas of other techniques I can try to isolate the fungus.

It is part of their way to survive. Their external communication in the (micro-)ecosystem where they live. Most moulds produce a profile of "toxins" (secondary metabolites), some metabolites are very small (=cheap to produce, easy to excrete) and can very often act as metal chelators (a way to eliminate chemical defence systems), others are more complex (expensive to produce) and are actually the "toxic" compounds. So the mixture of different compounds is very important for the interaction between different organisms. Nearly all parts of your body can be harmed by fungal metabolites. Even the smell may harm you!! Be careful. >What are some of the benefits from various molds besides >blue cheese and penicillin?

Although Cercospora specimens from Carex and Cyperus appear similar (see Mycologia 80: 418-421), they are different regarding their host specificity (determined via inoculation studies etc.). I have scanned the catalogues of IMI, CBS and ATCC. No one seems to have any strains of Cercospora from Carex (a weed).

About Feb. '93, I started to have some problems, so i went to a doctor. After several doctors visits and uncovering that filters in my lab had not been changed for several years, I found out I had a fungal infection in my lungs. I am not an expert on fungal infections. How can such a thing be treated? Currently, the university that I worked at has ignored my compaint and is not providing me with proper care. My only choice is to try to get it taken care of myself. What are the ramifications of having a fungal infection in one's lungs? Are there any? Any information that anyone out there might be able to give me would be greatly appreciated.

Life is not a right, but an opportunity. Becasue of this, you do not have the right to die but you can chose your death. Just becasue you can, it dosn't mean it is a right. The morality of death is a large issue of disscussion. It depends on what you think. The way peole are brought up and what relgion they are play a large role in this. Others do not have the right to kill you and I don't believe it is moral unless you ask them to.

It is commonly thought (among those who commonly consider these things) that the Oomycetes are diploid, with meiosis occurring during development of gametangia. However, according to M. W. Dick (1969 New Phytologist 68, pp. 751-775) many oomycetous fungi lack important sexual structures (at least, they haven't been observed), and even if they do have the structures, the nuclear condition is inferred. My question is, has nuclear condition been investigated in oomycetes? To what extent? Once again, I am inviting you to pass relevant references this way, and thanking you in advance. -Jack From owner-mycology@net.bio.net Sun Feb 27 22:00:00 1994 Path: biosci!daresbury!trane.uninett.no!sunic!EU.net!howland.reston.ans.net!gatech!usenet.ufl.edu!gnv.ifas.ufl.edu!hck From: hck@gnv.ifas.ufl.edu Newsgroups: bionet.mycology Subject: Phomopsis hunt Message-ID: <1994Feb28.134011.3867@tower> Date: 28 Feb 94 13:40:11 -0500 Lines: 4 Does anyone know where I can obtain a culture of Phomopsis amaranthi?
