First List of the Wild Mushrooms of Jordan Prof. Dr. Ahmad Al-Raddad Al-Momany Royal Botanic Garden 1st Annual Scientific Day Thursday January 12, 2012 Amman, Jordan Project Objectives 1- Establish a checklist of the wild mushrooms of Jordan as a part of the National species Database (NSD) 2- Establish the national museum of wild mushrooms of Jordan at the Royal Botanic Garden at Tell Ar-Rumman 3- Produce a book, a field guide and an online gallery about the wild mushrooms of Jordan The Nutritional Value of Mushrooms 100 grams for daily body requirements 1- Mushrooms are a good source of vitamins, essential amino acids and proteins. 2- Mushrooms are a great source of minerals such as phosphorus, magnesium, potassium and selenium. 3- In addition, mushrooms contain virtually no fat or cholesterol, and are naturally low in sodium. 4- Mushrooms are also a good source of fiber. 5- They are antioxidants and help in cancer treatment. 6- Mushrooms are low in calories and are an anti-aging food. What is a mushroom? A mushroom is actually the fruiting structure of a fungus. The fungus is simply a net of thread-like fibers, called a mycelium, growing in soil, wood or decaying organic matter. Most mushrooms are edible and highly delicious. Others are not edible, and the rest are deadly poisonous. Wild Mushrooms Poisonous Edible The function of a mushroom is to produce spores, which are the propagative structures of the fungus. Spore identification is the master key for mushroom classification. Basidiospores of Agaricus Spore print of Mycena Mushroom Groups 1. Ascomycota which includes morels, cup fungi, and truffles. They produce their spores in a closed ascus which opens upon maturity. They are called spore shooters. Ascomycota/ Cup Fungi 2. Basidiomycota, which includes most of the mushrooms present in this study as gilled agarics, the boletes, the polypores and jelly fungi. They bear their spores on naked basidia and they are called spore droppers. Basidiomycota Agarics Jelly Fungi The mushrooms most people recognize are the gilled fungi. These typical parasol-shaped mushrooms have caps with blade-like gills on the underside and stems, with or without rings. These are also mushrooms. Are these mushrooms? Yes • Spores in pouches Gilled Mushrooms with and without Rings The pore fungi are similar in appearance but have a spongy layer of tubes of pores on the underside of the cap, instead of gills. Pore Mushrooms Pore Mushrooms Mushroom collection requires simple equipment, but it is tedious work and time consuming. Our Lab and Office It is very important to record where the mushroom is growing (on wood, soil, moss); whether it grows singly or in clusters, the color of the cap, gills and stem; and any other distinctive features. These will facilitate classification. • To date, I have found in this study 55 different species belonging to 33 different genera. • We have more than 75 preserved samples under identification, and we are still in the beginning of the season.

How ??? 1- Identification of the best nutritious wild mushrooms and production of pure cultures. 2- Identification of the best growing substrates. 3- Identification of the best growing conditions. Good Substrate Means Good Mushroom Growth Some fungi are primary and some are secondary decomposers of cellulose and lignin, and some are mycorrhizal, i.e. symbiotic on living roots. - Some fungi grow on straw - Some fungi grow on logs
