The main BIOSCI FAQ (Frequently Asked Questions) is accessible on the World Wide Web at URL http://www.bio.net/. Contents: -------- 1) Using the WWW to access the BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups. 2) What to do about "spams," i.e., junk mail, ads, etc. 3) Examples of subscribing and unsubscribing to the mailing lists. 4) The BIOSCI user address and research interest directory. 1) Using the WWW to access the BIOSCI/bionet newsgroups. -------------------------------------------------------- As of 10 December 1995, all BIOSCI/bionet full newsgroups are accessible through the World Wide Web (WWW) at URL http://www.bio.net. One can read and reply publicly or privately to both recent postings and archived messages through one's Web browser if it is configured properly to send e-mail. Each newsgroup is equipped with its own WAIS index in addition to the master index for the entire set. The main BIOSCI home page also has access to the BIO-JOURNALS Table of Contents database WAIS index and the BIOSCI user address database described in another item further below. 2) What to do about "spams," i.e., junk mail, ads, etc. ------------------------------------------------------- BIOSCI is a set of parallel USENET newsgroups (the "bionet" groups), mailing lists, and a hypermail archive at URL http://www.bio.net/. The same postings are distributed on all media (except for a small number of mailing-list-only groups at net.bio.net). Unfortunately it is becoming a despicable practice on the Internet (by a few people out to make a fast buck) to do automated mass postings to thousands of newsgroups and mailing lists. These attempts to grab free advertising are refered to as "spams" in the usual, somewhat boneheaded, net terminology. USENET is more susceptible to this practice, and many spams originate on the USENET groups and then are passed on to the mailing lists. However, spammers also get lists of mailing addresses and hit these too, so neither medium is immune. What should you do personally if you get junk mail? --------------------------------------------------- Just delete it and move on without reading it further. Filing a protest is becoming increasingly useless because spammers are often disguising the addresses where the messages are sent from. Unless you really understand Internet mail systems, your attempt at protest by sending replies to the message will often end up being sent to the address of an innocent person that the spammer is victimizing. What can BIOSCI/bionet do to protect its newsgroups? ---------------------------------------------------- The only solution currently available is to moderate the newsgroup. If this newsgroup is already moderated, then you are in good shape. Moderation protects the USENET distribution from about 95% of the spams that are being sent to date and protects the mailing lists completely. Moderation means, however, that someone has to take the time to review each message before it goes out. We have set up software here that simply allows the moderator to forward to an address at net.bio.net messages that (s)he wishes to have distributed. This takes no more time than that needed to read the message and pass it on, say about 1 min. per message. Most newsgroups currently have a discussion leader who is responsible for their newsgroup. The discussions leaders and their e-mail addresses are listed in the BIOSCI Information Sheet which is available on the Web at http://www.bio.net/. If a newsgroup is being hit with too many junk postings, please contact the discussion leader for that group and see if there is interest in moderating the group. Please do not assume that by simply posting a complaint to the newsgroup itself, anyone on the BIOSCI staff will act on your complaint. With close to 100 newsgroups to run, the BIOSCI staff has to rely on the discussion leaders of each newsgroup to report problems directly to us at biosci-help@net.bio.net. We will moderate any of our newsgroups if the discussion leader tells us that the readership of the group wishes to do so and if a moderator is willing to do the work. For most BIOSCI/bionet groups, this entails only a few minutes of work each day. Moderating a newsgroup will resolve probably 95% of the junk postings on the USENET distribution. Unfortunately there are easy ways for determined spammers to override the moderation mechanism on USENET, but we can protect our e-mail subscribers from unwanted postings if the newsgroup is moderated. You can also access our newsgroups over the WWW at URL http://www.bio.net. While this Web interface will not stop spammers from trying to post to the groups, this will give you yet another way, besides using USENET news, to keep the junk out of your personal mail files. For those of you with local USENET news systems, the Web interface will also give you faster access to new newsgroups and recent postings. 3) Examples of subscribing and unsubscribing to the mailing lists. ------------------------------------------------------------------ PLEASE NOTE: The BIOSCI management does NOT act on subscription/unsubscription requests that are posted improperly to the newsgroups and mailing lists. People who do this only bother everyone on the lists to no avail. Please be sure to follow the proper procedures below. Gory details are in the BIOSCI Information sheets on the Web at http://www.bio.net. Below we give an example utilizing the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS list at both of our two BIOSCI sites: Users in the Americas and Pacific Rim countries who use the BIOSCI ------------------------------------------------------------------ node at computer net.bio.net: ---------------------------- A) Determine the "listname" which is the <=8 character mail address ^^^^^^^^^^^^^ for the group. These can be found in the BIOSCI Info. Sheet. For the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS group the mailing address is methods@net.bio.net. The listname is the portion of the address to the left of the @ sign, i.e., "methods". The listname is used with the "subscribe" and "unsubscribe" commands illustrated below. B) Mail all commands in the body of a mail message addressed to biosci-server@net.bio.net. Do NOT send commands to the newsgroup posting addresses! Leave the Subject: line blank, any text on it will be ignored. C) In the body of your message put one or more of the following commands with an "end" command on the last line, e.g., subscribe methods unsubscribe methods end Do NOT put your e-mail address or other text on these lines. The server only allows you to cancel your subscription if the address on your mail header matches the address on our mailing list. Please ask for help at biosci-help@net.bio.net if your address has changed, e.g., if you know you are on the list but the server tells you that you are not a member. Users in Europe, Africa, and Central Asia who use the BIOSCI node at -------------------------------------------------------------------- computer daresbury.ac.uk (also known as dl.ac.uk): ------------------------------------------------- To subscribe and unsubscribe to/from the BIOSCI lists, you need to specify the full USENET newsgroup name with "bionet-news." prepended. The USENET newsgroup names are listed in the BIOSCI Information sheet on the Web at http://www.bio.net/. For the METHODS-AND-REAGENTS list the USENET newsgroup name is bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts, thus the appropriate commands are sub bionet-news.bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts unsub bionet-news.bionet.molbio.methds-reagnts These commands are included in a message addressed to mxt@dl.ac.uk, NOT to the newsgroup mailing addresses. As usual, include the text in the body of the message as text on the Subject: line is ignored. To unsubscribe from all the lists at the UK node, use unsub bionet-news Please note that if the address in the list is different than the one in your mail message header, you will not be able to unsubscribe by this method. If you have problems, please mail biosci@daresbury.ac.uk. 4) The BIOSCI user address and research interest directory. ----------------------------------------------------------- Please take this opportunity to add your name, address, and research interest information to the BIOSCI User Address Database if you have not already done so. You can fill out the address form directly through our Web page at URL http://www.bio.net/adrform.html. The address database is reindexed nightly for WWW access (the URL is http://www.bio.net/). If you are not directly on the Internet but can reach it by e-mail, please use our waismail server to access the user directory. waismail use is described above. You can also request a user address form by e-mail from biosci-help@net.bio.net. Please check your database entry from time-to-time to see if your address information is still up-to-date. Because of our limited personnel resources, we ask that you resubmit a *complete* form to revise your entry; we only replace complete entries and do not have resources to edit old forms.

The following paragraph is based soley on my experiences and my interpretation of information available from various sources (find out about Dr. Andrew Moldynke's work on microscopic arthropods from OSU entomology dept.): As mycelium forms mycorhizal relationships with the roots of the trees and these relationships are necessary for continued forest, soil, and tree health, these longer harvest cycles are important to insure continued forest (and tree) health as some species of fungi do not appear until the trees are several decades old. The individual trees derive immediate benefit from these relationships by having increased nutrient uptake and availability. I can tell upon entering a stand of trees if their are a large number of truffles in the stand by the health of the stand and appearance of the individual trees. It appears to me (although I do not do comparative soil tests for nutrients, ph, etc. to rule out other factors) that the trees with the beneficial mycorizae grow faster and the stands of trees are healthier. The long term benefits from these relationships are less apparent to the casual observer. Soil is formed by fungi-eating arthropods, both macroscopic and microscopic (don't smash that millipede!!!) and it is probable that some of these mycophages are fungi specific. If the fungi that they require does not grow well in the very young trees and only grows in association with older trees or, as is the case with several saprophitic fungi, on dead trees, then a neccesary component of the soil may not be produced. I somehow cannot get the mental picture of the log trucks hauling away loads of soil from Gravel Creek (Siletz drainage) by moving the small trees to the GP mill for chipping. Am I the only person to have reached this conclusion? If I am mistaken in any of these points, which ones? If nothing else, this should provide medium for thought.

I did want to make a comment for your project, if it matters, and that is that it is great that several universities and colleges (actually most) offer relatively free (a low monthly cover fee) personal access and free general/campus-wide access.

A bit over the top with "soil is formed....." Soil is formed from parent material by the actions of microbial populations, the inputs of plants, the climate, the topography and time.

Workshop instructors will be Richard Summerbell, Ph.D. and Guy St-Germain, B.S., Canadian mycologists and authors of "Identifying Filamentous Fungi - A Clinical Laboratory Handbook," a valuable new tool for mycologists. These recognized authorities will guide participants through a review of 120 fungal isolates including selected unusual hyaline and dematiaceous hypomycetes, arthroconidial fungi, and Zygomycetes. Some groups of fungi will be treated to the species level. With a full understanding that knowing where to go for help can be half the problem, Summerbell and St- Germain will offer insightful tips on selecting an appropriate key to assist you in making accurate identifications. Participants will view microscopic demonstrations of the fungi and gain familiarity with eight keys and identification guides. Continuing education credits through the American Society for Clinical Laboratory Sciences will be awarded to participants. The fee for this program is $220 for registrations prior to April 5 and $260 after that date. Through special arrangements with the publisher, we will be able to offer to participants who wish to purchase it, a copy of the St-Germain/Summerbell text at a cost of $37.50, a discount of 25%.

[text deleted] However: companies interested in shorter rotations won't really be concerned about the health of trees that will be larger than they intend to harvest! For them, the question will be: how does removal of these mycorrhizal species impact the health of trees they intend to harvest? The answer is still murky, in my opinion, and like so many other things probably depends on which case you are talking about. On Vancouver Island, many of the fungi associated with old growth Doug. fir are also associated with younger Doug. fir, but we by no means have a complete inventory of what exists in the old growth. In our studies of chronosequence plots in the Greater Victoria Area Watershed, we do see a sharp contrast in the sequence of prominent species as one proceeds from regen. to old growth (as expected), but there are notable exceptions: we've found several mycorrhizal species in the regen. plot (e.g. Suillus spp.) that we normally associate with older trees, but presumably were able to survive on living roots until the seedlings established. I'm told that survival on living roots in clearcuts has been reported before. So, while I agree with you that we are probably having an impact on the distribution of mycorrhizal species when we harvest, I think it is important to remember that mycorrizal fungi are probably adapted to survive similar natural disturbances which destroy mature trees (e.g. fire). One thing I've been wondering about lately, though, is the relationship between current silvicultural practices (raising tree seedlings in nurseries) and the eventual distribution of mycorrhizal fungi that we will see. You see a lot of things like Inocybe blow into nursuries, along with deliberate inoculations of various fungi to enhance seedling growth. Will this method of rearing seedlings eventually skew natural populations of mycorrhizal fungi? (and therefore impact commerce in wild mushrooms, etc.). -RSW RICHARD WINDER Title: Research Scientist Canadian Forest Service Phone: (604) 363-0773 Victoria, B.C.

There are three good ways of finding taxonomical information. 1. Tree of Life =============== http://phylogeny.arizona.edu/ A very good idea but needs a lot more work to cover more taxons. 2. NCBI Taxonomy Browser ======================== http://www3.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/Taxonomy/Taxonomy/taxonomyhome.html The fastest way of finding the complete, hierarcial taxonomy. This taxonomy is from molecular biologists point of view. Classical taxonomists no doubt disagree in many cases. SRS (Sequence Retireval System) =============================== http://cypress.csc.fi:8001/srs/srsc SRS is the most powerful tool for browsing sequence databases. There are more than 15 servers world wide. SRS is developed st EMBL (http://www.embl-heidelberg.de:80/srs/srsc). If you check my server (or any other European servers), you will notice that the wording of the taxon hierarchy differs slightly in the European sequence database EMBL from that in US (GenBank).

The term "bracket fungus has no real taxonomic meaning, but rather refers to a general growth habit that may be taken on by fungi in many groups, all of which are in the subdivision Basidiomycotina, class Hymenomycetes, order Aphyllophorales. There are many many species (thousands?) of what one might consider bracket fungi, which is a general term used to describe what a mycologist would call a "reflexed" or "effused-reflexed" fruiting body. Most of these would be in the Aphyllophorales in the Polyporaceae (in perhaps over 70 genera), bur there are also a large number found in the Hymenochaetaceae (Phellinus and Inonotus come to mind) Depending on what you want to call a "bracket fungus" you might also find examples in the Corticiaceae, Steraeaceae, and perhaps even in the Russulaceae (e.g. Bondarzewia) Hope this helps. ---Tom ******************************************** (0) Tom Volk (000) Center for Forest Mycology Research, (00000) Forest Products Lab, Madison Wisconsin (000) & UW- Madison Dept. of Botany (000) tjvolk@facstaff.wisc.edu | | ******************************************** | | http://www.wisc.edu/botany/fungi/volkmyco.html From owner-mycology@net.bio.net Sun Jan 07 22:00:00 1996 Path: biosci!bcm.tmc.edu!news.msfc.nasa.gov!newsfeed.internetmci.com!in2.uu.net!news.deltanet.com!usenet From: cardpro@deltanet.com (cw) Newsgroups: bionet.mycology Subject: Re: ruffles in Canada?

The term "bracket fungus has no real taxonomic meaning, but rather refers to a general growth habit that may be taken on by fungi in many groups, all of which are in the subdivision Basidiomycotina, class Hymenomycetes, order Aphyllophorales. There are many many species (thousands?) of what one might consider bracket fungi, which is a general term used to describe what a mycologist would call a "reflexed" or "effused-reflexed" fruiting body. Most of these would be in the Aphyllophorales in the Polyporaceae (in perhaps over 70 genera), bur there are also a large number found in the Hymenochaetaceae (Phellinus and Inonotus come to mind) Depending on what you want to call a "bracket fungus" you might also find examples in the Corticiaceae, Steraeaceae, and perhaps even in the Russulaceae (e.g. Bondarzewia) Hope this helps. ---Tom ******************************************** (0) Tom Volk (000) Center for Forest Mycology Research, (00000) Forest Products Lab, Madison Wisconsin (000) & UW- Madison Dept. of Botany (000) tjvolk@facstaff.wisc.edu | | ******************************************** | | http://www.wisc.edu/botany/fungi/volkmyco.html From owner-mycology@net.bio.net Sun Jan 07 22:00:00 1996 Path: biosci!UNIXG.UBC.CA!glass From: glass@UNIXG.UBC.CA (N Louise Glass) Newsgroups: bionet.mycology Subject: Asilomar Fungal Genetics Meeting Date: 8 Jan 1996 10:33:24 -0800 Organization: BIOSCI International Newsgroups for Molecular Biology Lines: 17 Sender: daemon@net.bio.net Distribution: world Message-ID: NNTP-Posting-Host: net.bio.net The 18th Asilomar Fungal Genetics Meeting will be held in March 1997.

Isl. Myc. Soc.) morel forays for around Easter or mid April, whichever comes before. Morels fruit here from that period right through June, in the case of M. deliciosa. As for where... The scarcity of limestone in the S. Island makes this a relatively poor area for morels, although many of our members have secret patches where they are locally very abundant. I don't know much about the North Island, which has more limestone according to the maps. Areas rich in calcium and other minerals, such as burnt areas, barbeque pits, seashell middens, etc. are often productive here. Unfortunately (for morel hunters), fire control on the Island has been rather effective lately. I've just about given up looking for the few I do find, and have started to concentrate on cultivation. If anyone out there wishes to join SVIMS, drop me a line. -RSW RICHARD WINDER Title: Research Scientist Canadian Forest Service Phone: (604) 363-0773 Victoria, B.C.

To all Six Kingdom Inventory System users: Re 1: aquarium fishes: new NAMes-files nearly ready for posting 2: new release soon of Family-level NAMes-files: NAM-F-2.ZIP 3: changes/corrections wanted urgently for present Family-level files 1/ Nearly ready for release are NAMes-files for 500 tropical freshwater aquarium fishes, and 350 marine aquarium fishes. The former is a good example of how SKIS handles synonyms. 2/ The successor to the 1983 "Dictionary of the Fungi" is now available, published mid-December 1995, IMI, CABI. In releasing NAM-F-1.ZIP to FTP late last year, we omitted two files because of the delay to publication of this Dictionary. These were the files for Fungi (ss) and Protoctista (including some 'Fungi'(sl)). The new files are scheduled to be posted in 3-4 weeks in NAM-F-2.ZIP. This time the full series of 10 Family-level NAMs will be present, ie all 6 Kingdoms of Biodiversity are covered at Family-level to run interactively in the SKI_IN and SKI_PLUS programmes. In the meantime, we would appreciate further comments, suggestions, and above all any corrections of errors (as distinct from improvements) that users find in the currently available Family-level NAMes-files as in NAM-F-1.ZIP. This is so that we can correct them before they are re-issued. Indications so far are that the NAMes-files are largely error free [ie largely free of unintentional errors, although they cannot be more up-to-date than the references used to create them. Full updates will come in due course]. This means we can be brave enough to ask for any and all corrections please, and still hope for an early release of NAM-F-2.ZIP. 3/ Does anyone still have files keyed to the 1983 Dictionary of the Fungi? If so, would you be interested in us producing a NAMes-file that 'translates' at Family-level from the 1983 "Classification" to the new version. You would select a name of 1983 vintage from the NAMes-file menus and SKIS will deliver it in a checklist in its 1995 higher Classification. Cheers to all SKIS-users for '96.

Here in the mid- Willamette Valley in Oregon, I start looking around the 3rd week of March. I usually find at least some Verpa bohemica under the cottonwoods along the river bottoms. The low elevation burns start to come off about then, as well. The season is usually in full swing here in mid to late April. I would look for them at the same time on Vancouver Island, although I feel that they may be 1-2 weeks behind. If you don't start looking until later, it is easy to say that they start at the time when you found them. Don't get caught in the trap of precluding an earlier fruiting time for lack of seeking them. I picked 3 species of morels in July of last year in the McCall, Idaho area at the 7,000 ft. level. Some friends were still finding quantities of them in September.

"Lepiota rachodes (rhacodes) & Natural Outdoors Cultivation" /////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////// <> From: TJ Olney Date: Fri, 5 Jan 1996 10:47:54 -0800 (PST) Subject: Natural Cultivation Update Straphoria has spread, but not fruited. The chips had too much conifer I'm afraid. I've been adding hardwood to the area. L.Rachodes has spread some, but not vigorously. I think the compost may be too far along for them. I found lots of them wild this year, and noted that they were most commonly under doug fir, in a heavy layer of needles and other debri. I have a few bags of L.rachodes mycellium that I have mined, have added to and which have continued to colonize. I am a bit confused because many of the members of the local "Northwest Mushroomers" group have gotten them going by simply tossing out the not edible examples onto their compost piles and using benign neglect. I have only one patch that is in compost, and they have significantly different color and stature from the forest variety. Much whiter. I am deliberately at this stage, avoiding sterile culture. Since I find enough to feed myself and my friends, I don't need a "viable commercial culture". I am more interested in finding ways to allow hobbyists like me to grow mushrooms in the garden without much trouble. A note re marketability of S.Rugossa Annulata. For marketability, I strongly suggest going for a smaller strain. People just don't know what to do with huge mushrooms. The wild strain I have been mining from had maximum cap size of 5" and most were 2-3. Buttons were about the size of the typical Campbell's grocery store buttons. Experiments in progress! 1) Spore slurry from prince was spread last summer over any likely habitat in both my and my neighbor's yards. Next August will tell. 2) L. Rachodes described above has been put into parts of my yard with similar habitat as the places originally found. 3) Mined S.Ru-annulata from a wild patch has been put in woodchips in various places around my yard. 4) Spore slurry from SRA above was broadcast all over a friend's chip beds. 5) Stems & stem ends from m. oreades have been stuck in all the moist rich sections of my lawn. 6) Over wormy boletes were buried in the roots of my doug fir trees. 7) Stems butts and a little mined myceleum of matsutake has been buried in the roots of some pine trees in the yard. 8) Same as above for morchella esculanta in chip piles and disturbed areas around the yard. 9) Same as above for blewits put into parts of yard with lots of deciduous leaf mulch. 10) Several different oyster logs have been dragged home. I found out too late that the slugs were eating all the pins! I am trying to devise a way to keep them moist and out of slugs way! I have also innoculated several oyster logs with "spawn" grown by dropping the ends of wild oysters into barely cooled coffee grounds in their bag and placing same in ziploc bags. We have a truly delicious oyster strain growing around here, that goes from white in deep shade to pale gold in the sun. I find that they are still delicious after drying, althought the stems are a bit tough. (Maybe I should grind them to a powder.) 11) I bought from Western Botanicals Almond and Shitake. I got 2 almond mushrooms so far. (inocculated in april) I think the site was not raw enough for them. 12+ Many other edibles beyond eating stage were unceremoniously tossed into the part of the yard that I thought most likely to support their growth.

Kelly, First of all, you can touch ANY mushroom, even the most poisonous Amanita without fear of absorbing toxins through the skin. As far as is known, toxic reactions are manifested only by ingestion of the mushroom. Of course, common sense and good hygiene would dictate washing your hands after handling a suspected toxic species. Incidentally, no known bolete is DEADLY poisonous, although some have caused gastrointestinal distress in some people. I am curious as to how you came to the conclusion that this mushroom is a "bolete" since your post did not make reference to the presence of pores on the underside of the cap, which is the principle identifying characteristic of all boletes. Assuming that the mushrooms DO have pores, are the pores elongated radially (like the spokes of a wheel) away from the central stipe (stem)? Are there glandular dots (like flyspecks) on the stipe? If so, it is probably a species of Suillus. Is there a pine (true pines = Pinus species) planted nearby? If it is a Monterey pine (P. radiata), then there is a high probability that the mushroom is S. pungens (slippery jack) which is edible, but hardly incredible. The identity of the nearby pine, if any, is a useful aid to identification. I would suggest that you use any guide to western tree identification and --Mushrooms Demystified, 2nd Ed-- by David Arora (Ten Speed Press).
