Their catalog is excellent and costs $3.00, refundable on first order. They also have a number of books on mushroom cultivation, including Growing gourmet and Medicinal Mushrooms and The Mushroom Cultivator, both by Paul Stamets, probably the premier authority on the field in the US and owner of Fungi Perfecti. Highly recommended. I haven't ordered from Mushroompeople, but their 8 page flier focuses primarily on Shiitake cultivation. They sell spawn as well as books and some equipment. I have recently begun experimenting with shroom cultivation myself, and am expecting my first crop of Coprinus comatus any day now. Would appreciate hearing from any other cultivators out there. Good luck.

I have been trying to detect/isolate the toxins produced by this fungus, but haven't been successful so far. The toxins (A, B and C) have been isolated by Smedegard-Petersen (1977), Bach et al. (1979) and Friis et al. (1991) from the Royal Veterinary and Agricultural University, Denmark.So far I haven't been able to reproduce their results. I have written to these authors thrice and did not receive any response. Would somebody kindly let me their exact addresses? Even better if anyone is working or has worked with this fungus and these toxins,I would be glad to hear about their experiences. By the way, the toxins are related to the aspergillomarasmines.Toxin A is N-(2-amino-2-carboxyethyl)aspartic acid. Toxin B is 1-(2-amino-2-carboxyethyl) -6carboxy-3-carboxymethyl-2-piperazinone and is identical to anhydroaspergillomarasmine A. Toxin C is N-[2-(2-amino-2-carboxyethyl-amino)-2-carboxyethyl]aspartic acid and is identical to aspergillomarasmine A. Any hints on how to detect these compounds in my culture filtrates? Thanks.

Peterson in the Fungal Holomorph book "Molecular genetic assessment of relatedness of Penicillium subgenus Penicillium" that is was very difficult by the study of the ITS and D2 region to distinguish species of Penicillium subgenus Penicillium. The author says in his publication "There are so few nucleotide substitutions distinguishing species in subgenus Penicillium, using this particular region of rDNA (region D2), that relationships within the subgenus can not be clearly established. ........ the relationships of species within subgenus Penicillium cannot be inferred from the ls-rDNA and ITS data obtained to date". I would like to know if they are others interesting regions to explore to solve this problem? Too, I would like to know if it's better to sequence directly the rRNA (by the Reverse Transcriptase) or the rDNA (sequencing complementary DNA strands) ?

The method is fast, around 2 hours, and gives lots of clean RNA (only small amount of DNA). I have not isolated mRNA from this RNA but considering the high yields I think it would work well. I got between 30 to 90 ug of RNA for each 100 mg of fresh mycelium I used. This RNA worked well for first strand cDNA synthesis and RT-PCR afterwards. As you can tell I really liked this reagent, I thought it would take me days to get RNA using the CsCl method.

The article describes experiments done by Anders Moller, which appear to offer an answer to one of the perplexing question of insect pathology: How are these fungi dispersed? Moller found that male house flies tended to confuse infected corpses for females, and thus attempted to mate with them, resulting in a 90% infection rate in the amorous flies. To my mind, this is just as bizarre as the story of bees trying to mate with orchids.

We are doing DNA renaturation kinetics to help determine the genome size & complexity of Histoplasma capsulatum. We are using an old copy of Dr. Pearson's program to determine the rate constant, Cot 1/2 etc., which we are running on an old IBM PC. We also use the Macintosh graphics program Kaleidagraph to fit the data to the same equation %ss= f / (1 + k1 Cot). This program is faster and more user friendly. Now, here is the question--- the Pearson program gives us an RMS number which is usually fairly good (around 0.03). The Kaleidagraph program calculates a chi square value (usually aroung 0.02) and a R value (usually around 0.99). I am familiar with the R value as a goodness of fit for curve fitting equations. Does anyone know how RMS compares to chi square or R? I have looked through every stat book I can find and asked several mathematicians. Either they don't know or give me conflicting answers.

There's not really a Mushrooms CD ROM around, though some efforts have been made. Here's a summary of the info I gathered, a 'cut and paste' from several emails I received in the last few days. There once was one created at one of the Utah universities by Darrell Weber and others, but it's on an old CD-ROM format, and since he hadn't gotten clearance for sales, couldn't be sold. It was partially supported by EXXON funds. The photographs in it, and the mycological keys, were largely western U.S. photographs. (Margaret Rogers) The closest, existing, useful product is called PolyKey which is essentially the contents of Gilbertson and Ryvarden's "North American Polypores" stuffed into a FoxBase relational database. (Nathan J. Wilson, Michael Freitag) Taxy, a general purpose taxonomic identification system, was developed as a MS thesys by Nathan J. Wilson (see below) and has a small fungi database. There exist a SUN, Mac, SGI and PC version, and since it is supposed to involve the users of the system in its continued development I think he will be happy to have people using it and expanding the database! (ftp.cse.ucsc.edu, directory tmp/taxy) ETI (Expert-center for taxonomic identification) in Amsterdam (e-mail ) re apparently doing a good job on collecting and presenting knowledge on different biological subjects. E.g. they have produced an excellent CD-ROM on european birds with good illustrations, maps, sonagrams and sounds. Between the lines in their newsletter is said that a mushroom CD might come in the near future (Sigvard Svensson) The info is gathered from many postings and email from Nathan J.

As for media to use to culture the dermatophytes, I find that a modified sabouraud-cycloheximide-chloramphenicol agar with a little bit of blood added seems to work okay for most dermato phytes.

It had brown spores and I was able to find an "almond mushroom", Psalliota micromegetha, in The Mushroom Handbook, 1967, which generally described it. However, the Handbook says "...uncommon species found in Massachusetts, Michigan and a few other states." I ate it all and lived to talk about it!

Our intent is to provide up-to-date online information on the morphology, taxonomy and phylogenetic relationships of these organisms. We have organized the information in a text-page format. As with all hypermedia, clicking on highlighted text will access a text page, a cross-reference within the database, or an online resource, depending on the context. Clicking on a picture icon will yield a labelled illustration that can be further manipulated with a graphics viewer. The prerelease version of this database can be accessed through the WWW at the following URL: http://megasun.bch.umontreal.ca/protists/protists.html About the database ------------------ The database is subdivided into several sections per organism: Introduction: Briefly presents the type of protist the genus describes, the approximate number of species in the genus, the presumed phylogenetic position of the genus, the places in nature in which species of the genus may be found, and the significance of the genus to humans. Appearance: Describes what the organisms in the genus look like under the naked eye and the light microscope. Ultrastructure: Describes what the organisms in the genus look like under the scanning and transmission electron microscopes. Life history: Describes asexual and sexual reproduction in the genus. Similar genera: Lists a selection of genera with which the subject genus can be confused. Classification: Provides one or more classifications for the genus, as may be used in botany, zoology, the Handbook of Protoctista, and/or the Cavalier-Smith system. The principal intent is to help the user find the genus in texts that deal with organismal morphology and taxonomy. The authors do not necessarily agree with any of the classifications listed. Taxonomic problems: Describes known or anticipated changes to the name of the genus, how the genus is identified, or to the number of species in the genus. Intended primarily to point out when, and why, certain well-known names of genera and species have become unacceptable to taxonomists, and when long-accepted means of identifying a genus have changed. Cultures: Presents data on culture availability and condition (for instance, whether or not cultures are axenic), as well as a subjective assessment of how easy they might be to grow. Selected references: Gives a short list of books and papers relevant to morphology, taxonomy and phylogeny of the genus. Intended primarily to provide an entry to literature not accessible online. Internet Resources: Provides pointers or access information to bulletin boards, gophers, etc. that house further information on the subject genus.

Fusiform rust is the most costly tree disease in the Southeastern U.S. and is characterized by the formation of galls on loblolly and slash pines. The fungus that causes this disease, Cronartium quercuum f. sp. fusiforme, has a complex and fascinating life cycle during which it produces five different types of spores and alternates between its two hosts, pine and oak. Our long-term goals are to understand how C.q. fusiforme causes gall formation on pine and how it regulates the alternation of its growth on pine and oak. We are also studying the genetic variation of C. q. fusiforme field populations. Ours is a supportive laboratory in which students are encouraged to work independently. The University of Georgia provides an excellent environment for graduate studies in this area as it has strong research programs in genetics, microbiology, plant sciences and forest resources. In general, minimum requirements are a M.Sc. degree or previous lab experience, a GPA of 3.3 or above, and a GRE score of 1200 or higher. If you are potentially interested in such a position, please contact Dr. Sarah F.
