It’s for players or GMs who think plants and fungi are cool, and are looking for an interesting way to bring some real botany into their games. On the surface, this is a mechanic to create new potions, fill party downtime, or inspire character agency. At its core, this is an educational guide for players or GMs who want to use real plant biology to inform their potion craft.

  • Bioluminescence in Mushroom and Its Application Potentials

    Bioluminescence in Mushroom and Its Application Potentials

    Nigerian Journal of Science and Environment, Vol. 14 (1) (2016) BIOLUMINESCENCE IN MUSHROOM AND ITS APPLICATION POTENTIALS Ilondu, E. M.* and Okiti, A. A. Department of Botany, Faculty of Science, Delta State University, Abraka, Nigeria. *Corresponding author. E-mail: [email protected]. Tel: 2348036758249. ABSTRACT Bioluminescence is a biological process through which light is produced and emitted by a living organism resulting from a chemical reaction within the body of the organism. The mechanism behind this phenomenon is an oxygen-dependent reaction involving substrates generally termed luciferin, which is catalyzed by one or more of an assortment of unrelated enzyme called luciferases. The history of bioluminescence in fungi can be traced far back to 382 B.C. when it was first noted by Aristotle in his early writings. It is the nature of bioluminescent mushrooms to emit a greenish light at certain stages in their life cycle and this light has a maximum wavelength range of 520-530 nm. Luminescence in mushroom has been hypothesized to attract invertebrates that aids in spore dispersal and testing for pollutants (ions of mercury) in water supply. The metabolites from luminescent mushrooms are effectively bioactive in anti-moulds, anti-bacteria, anti-virus, especially in inhibiting the growth of cancer cell and very useful in areas of biology, biotechnology and medicine as luminescent markers for developing new luminescent microanalysis methods. Luminescent mushroom is a novel area of research in the world which is beneficial to mankind especially with regards to environmental pollution monitoring and biomedical applications. Bioluminescence in fungi is a beautiful phenomenon to observe which should be of interest to Scientists of all endeavors.

  • Pleurotus Ostreatus

    Pleurotus Ostreatus

    Pleurotus Ostreatus Oyster Mushroom Pleurotus ostreatus, the oyster mushroom or oyster fungus, is a common edible mushroom. It was first cultivated in Germany as a subsistence measure during World War I and is now grown commercially around the world for food. It is related to the similarly cultivated king oyster mushroom. Oyster mushrooms can SCIENTIFIC CLASSIFICATION also be used industrially Kingdom : Fungi for mycoremediation purposes. Division : Basidiomycota Class : Agaricomycetes The oyster mushroom is one of the Order : Agaricales more commonly sought wild Family : Pleurotaceae mushrooms, though it can also be Genus : Pleurotus cultivated on straw and other media. It Species : P. ostreatus has the bittersweet aroma of benzaldehyde (which is also characteristic of bitter almonds). Binomial Name Pleurotus ostreatus Name Both the Latin and common names refer to the shape of the fruiting body. The Latin pleurotus (sideways) refers to the sideways growth of the stem with respect to the cap, while the Latin ostreatus (and the English common name, oyster) refers to the shape of the cap which resembles the bivalve of the same name. Many also believe that the name is fitting due to a flavor resemblance to oysters. The name oyster mushroom is also applied to other Pleurotus species. Or the grey oyster mushroom to differentiate it from other species in the genus. Description The mushroom has a broad, fan or oyster-shaped cap spanning 2– 3 3 30 cm ( ⁄4–11 ⁄4 in); natural specimens range from white to gray or tan to dark-brown; the margin is inrolled when young, and is smooth and often somewhat lobed or wavy.
  • Antibacterial Agents from Lignicolous Macrofungi

    Antibacterial Agents from Lignicolous Macrofungi

    18 Antibacterial Agents from Lignicolous Macrofungi Maja Karaman, Milan Matavulj and Ljiljana Janjic University of Novi Sad, Department of Biology and Ecology, Novi Sad Serbia 1. Introduction Since ancient times, the mushrooms have been prized as food as well as source for drugs, giving rise to an increasing interest today ("functional food"). Number of macrofungi is of a medicinal importance and represents an unlimited source of secondary metabolites of high medicinal value while a large number of biologically active molecules are identified in many species of macrofungi throughout the world (Wasser & Weis, 1999; Kitzberger et al., 2007; Barros et al., 2007; Turkoglu et al., 2007; Kim et al., 2008; 2007; Wasser, 2011). In addition, of importance is the amount of produced substances namely, they must be simple for the manufacturing (industrial synthesis) or there must be enough raw material for extraction of active molecules. Such molecules, if chemical groups responsible for biological activity are known, should serve as basic compounds for the synthesis of new molecules. Lignicolous macrofungi express significant biological effects, including antibacterial activity (Hur et al., 2004; Ishikawa et al., 2005; Kalyoncu et al., 2010) and their secondary metabolites can be easily extracted and identified. It has been found that secondary metabolites are very divergent in structure and play no essential role in their growth and reproduction, but probably have a function in biochemical evolution of a species ensuring its survival (Engler et al., 1998). The presence of these compounds in macrofungi is genetically determined, but also varies as a function of ecological factors and the growth stage of these organisms (Puttaraju et al., 2006).

The walk was organised together with the Microbiology Department of the University of Western Australia. Two groups collected fungi, led by Roz Hart of the PUBF Project and David Sutton, Lecturer from the University of Western Australia. Ghost fungus Omphalotus nidiformis Unknown vouchered resupinate Tubaria sp . Common Rosegill Volvariella speciosa Recommendation : This list represents a very small portion of the fungi which are likely to be present in this reserve. Due to the nature of fungi, which fruit irregularly and intermittently, it will be necessary to conduct many such surveys over different days in the fungi season as well as in successive years to produce an accurate inventory of the fungi present in this valuable urban bush reserve.
