What are the regulations concerning the gathering of mushrooms from national parks and national forests? I had heard that mushrooms are classified (by the government) under flora and fauna, and therefore it is illegal to gather them. However, I was also told that (at least for state parks/forests) that the decision was left up to the supervisor of the individual park. If you have any info, please post or e-mail me. Thanks. Oh, btw, does anyone know if the National Park and Forestry Service is on-line? If so, how can I reach them? Let me know if you have anything.

The position is to begin in Sept. 1995 and is funded for at least two years. Below is a summary of the funded project. Please contact me if you or someone you know would like more information. sgold@uga.cc.uga.edu The Genetics of Fungal Dimorphism and Pathogenicity in Ustilago maydis. Project Summary: This project addresses the long-term goal of understanding the genetic control of morphogenesis and pathogenicity in fungi. We will approach this goal by elucidating the underlying mechanisms controlling yeast-hypha transitions in Ustilago maydis, the causal agent of corn smut disease. This is important because many fungi, including saprophytes and pathogens of animals and plants, alternate between filamentous and budding growth morphologies (fungal dimorphism) in response to environmental and genetic conditions. Additionally, growth phase is often correlated with virulence. In wild U. maydis only the filamentous stage is pathogenic. The filamentous form is generated in the dikaryon formed upon the mating of two compatible budding haploids. Our recent discovery that the cAMP pathway plays a significant role in dimorphism of U. maydis has made a further dissection of morphogenesis possible (Gold et. al, Genes and Development 1994). Specifically, we have isolated the U. maydis adenylate cyclase gene (uac1) which is required for budding growth. Upon disruption of the uac1 gene, filamentous strains are generated from previously normal budding haploids. Additionally, we have collected 45 mutants which are suppressed for the filamentous phenotype of adenylate cyclase mutants. These strains are termed ubc for Ustilago bypass of cyclase and display budding growth. Complementation of one of these ubc supressor mutations led to the isolation of the gene (ubc1) encoding the regulatory subunit of cAMP dependent protein kinase (rPKA) which is required for normal post mating filamentous growth and responsiveness to environmental signals. Preliminary data also indicate a role for the ubc1 gene in normal corn smut disease progression. Further characterization of genes of this pathway will yield a better understanding of the genetic control of dimorphism and pathogenicity in U. maydis and other dimorphic fungi. These studies may uncover the target genes of the b mating type locus which encodes homeodomain proteins controlling the post-mating shift to filamentous growth. It may also be possible to identify new fungal targets for disease control strategies based on a better understanding of the genes involved in pathogenicity. The specific aims of this proposal are to: A) define complementation groups of, and clone the genes responsible for, the ubc class of suppressor mutations: This work will provide insight into the genetic basis of filamentous growth. The primary questions asked here are; how many different genes are involved in bud-hypha transitions, what are their functions, and how do they relate to each other to create a morphogenetic pathway? This is important for the pathogenicity of the smut fungi and of general relevance to mycology as filamentous growth is a hallmark of the absorptive feeding habit of the kingdom mycota; B) further characterize the interaction between ubc1 mutants and the host plant: This work will further characterize the defect in the pathogenicity of ubc1-1 (rPKA) mutants and should shed light on the normal infection process. The primary question asked here is; what stage in the infection process is affected in the ubc1-1 mutant? This work will establish the basis for studies of the relationship between genes controlling dimorphism and the intricate interactions between fungus and plant leading to the production of large galls and to teliosporogenesis.

I don't know anything about the species of Mycena you quoted: Alexander Smith did not include it in his 1947 monograph of North American Species of Mycena. However, if the student is interested in bioluminescent fungi, there are several that are quite common in your area. Probably the most common is Panellus stiptucus, a small wood decay fungus that is very common. Cultures of this fungus bioluminesce, but apparently the bioluminescence is restricted to North American collections. Also a little more spectacular is Omphalotus olearius, the jack-o-lantern mushroom, which can be very prolific and glows very brightly if fresh, especially on the underside. Some species of Armillaria are also reported to glow(even in culture), but I have not observed this.

It needs to be very much reorganized and redone. I will be spending about a month this summer doing this. There are about 800 images of fungi there, all from my own personal slide collection. (well mostly anyway-- a few of other people's images have gotten in there by mistake!). The pictuers represent fungi from all taxonomic groups, although the basidiomycetes are currently over- represented. The files are currently stored as .GIF files, but they will be redone as higher-quality JPEG images. If there is interest I would consider a CD-ROM. Mike Clayton at the UW Botany Department was a valuable aid for getting this all set up. It might interest someone to know that I used these images to teach the Mycology Course at the UW this past fall to lecture directly with the computer, projecting the images through an LCD panel onto the movie-type screen in front of the room. This system is extremely versatile and worked very well. I was even able to use a WordPerfect document as my "blackboard" on the computer. This had the added advantage that the student were able to access the lectures and view the images on a student computer at their leisure, rather than just viewing an image for 20 seconds during class. For me the added advantage was that I didn't have to search for slides and more importantly didn't have to put them away. I could also emphasize features of the fungus on the screen by zooming in on a particular part of the image (gill attachment, etc.) I believe that the ways I used the computer for class have only scratched the surface of what will be possible in the future. ---Tom Volk, Center for Forest Mycology Research & UW Dept. of Botany, Madison Wisonsin. tjvolk@facstaff.wisc.edu From owner-mycology@net.bio.net Thu May 04 23:00:00 1995 Path: biosci!TELEPORT.COM!lorelei From: lorelei@TELEPORT.COM (Lorelei Norvell) Newsgroups: bionet.mycology Subject: Re: Morels gone bad!?

But I have found that the very large morels that have been morels a lonnnnngggg while are very strong and taste terrible. These usually will have somewhat orange stipes. The stipes additionally will appear coarsely granular. We also have noted that there appears to be a larger percentage of poisonings from drier areas of Oregon -- near the Blue Mountains -- every spring. I suspect this may in fact be due to spoilage occurring on site. My feeling is that if you recognize what a good morel tastes like -- and more importantly what a good morel smells like when fresh -- you probably won't go wrong. Also -- I have found that what appears irresistible in the field often appears less than tempting in the kitchen. It may have something to do with the abated fervor AFTER the hunt.

Several had caps that were very dry and shriveled, but the stalks were still moist. My question is: at what point are they no longer good for picking (eating)?

Distilled water is simply water that has been boiled and the steam re-collected, whereas deionized water is ultra-filtered through reverse-osmosis and ionic mixed beds prior to a final filter. The use of deionized water is to keep unwanted chemicals out of growth media when you are doing nutritional studies, or if you care to keep your control media with the least number of variables: IMHO for routine culturing where you are NOT doing nutritional work, tap water will probably due, unless you have copper lined pipes full of stuff that would potentially kill your organisms. Frankly, most labs have pretty poor deionized water systems. If you prepare DI water and then let it sit in a carboy for a day or longer, you might just as well use distilled water. DI water will pick up all kinds of stuff from the air as well as trace materials from the carboy itself. And bacteria grow quite nicely in stagnant DI water. Unless you are measuring 18 megaohm DI at the output tap, and unless you REALLY need DI water for nutritional studies, you are probably wasting time and money using the stuff. And as I stated, why use ultrapurified water when you are going to UN-purify it with commercial PDA??!!! -Steve Carpenter Cascade Research Associates & Abbey Lane Laboratory microbe@peak.org Lester.Pasarell@utmb.edu wrote: : Dear Sir, many types of fungi can grow in DIWater, without need of large : amounts of nutrients.

The vendor had just purchased a lot from a local picker. I can attest to the fact that they are delicious! Unfortunately, they were selling for 19+ a pound. They will probably drop to around 13 dollars before the season is through. I think those prices are just more incentive to get out there and find your own feast. Happy hunting.

I recommend that you consult a medical mycologist. Some (not all) teaching hospitals will have a mycologist. A. niger is a rare, usually opportunisitic infection in humans. Aspergillosis in the nasal cavity can be a result of surgical contamination. Aspergillus infection can be serious, particularly to patients with immune deficiencies, and it is difficult to treat. Serious, invasive cases are often treated with amphotericin B. This therapy normally requires hospitilization and would not usually be a first-choice treatment. Other therapies might be azoles, such as fluconazole or ketoconazole. What do your wife's physicians say, and how serious is this disease to her?

Any references or keys to >identification would be greatly appreciated. >K. Michael Foos Specimens of Phaereochaete are difficult to identify as Phanerochaete in the wild, but they are fairly common. Most are resupinate (crust) fungi that don't fruit out in the open. If you want to see one you have to roll logs. Phanerochaete spp. range in color from white to yellow to reddish, to brown to bright bright orange. The most spectacular species, IMHO, is Phanerochaete chrysorhiza, which has a bright orange toothed basidiome with an extensive network of bright orange cordons, like rhizomorphs. It is a fairly common species, and the cordons can be seen long before the fruiting body is evident.The most commonly mentioned species in the genus is Phanerochaete chrysosporium, which has received extensive attention because of its amazing lignin degrading abillity. however, this species is not very common in nature and has been isolated only a relatively few times. It forms a completely unspectacular fruiting structure that looks like a thin white mold. Many of the other species have cordonic margins. All the species cause a white rot. Phanerochaete is relatively easy to recognize under the microscope. They are mostly simple septate, have cystidia that are usually encrusted, and many species have multiple clamps at an occasional septum. The basidia are always simple septate at the base. It's a little more complicated than that, but that's the Reader's Digest (tm) version. There is a very good monograph of the genus Phanerochaete by Hal Burdsall (my boss) with good keys: "A Contribution to the taxonomy of the genus ~ Phanerochaete~ (Corticiaceae, Aphyllophorales) Mycologia Memoir 10, 165 pp. 1985.

There sat a perfect yellow morel staring back at me with a wrinkled little face. I asked her (my sister-in-law) to excuse me and I promptly pounced (on the morel) before it had a chance to run away.

The National Medical Device Coalition is working closely with House and Senate leaders to make these reforms a reality. This is the most important opportunity for FDA reform since the 1976 Amendments of the Food and Drug Administration which started the medical device approval process. Time is of the essence! Never again will there be an opportunity for our industry to gain control of its future. The final product is now ready and will be presented at the MDMA Regulatory Reform Summit in Washington, DC. Even if you are unable to attend the MDMA Regulatory Reform Summit, you can still pledge your support by giving $100 or more to the National Medical Device Coalition.

Plenty of cellulose, polyphenols left, plus the acrospire (shoot). Cows love it, and it's nutritious for them. I'm planning a brewery/ brewpub, and it would be more than cool to serve mushroom dishes that had been grown in our spent grain.

We are new to it, but understand the basic principles of mycology already. We already have a large space ready to use for start-up work. We need to know where to get information, methodology, supplies (such as ready mycelia), etc. Any help would be vastly appreciated.
