Texas Mycology Is Better Than Yours Mycology is Better Than Yours The Kingdom Fungi Mycology, Schmycology! What’s It All About Anyway? The word mycology comes from two Greek words, “mykes” which means mushroom and “logos” which means discourse So, mycology actually means “the study of mushrooms” History • Have been around for millions of years • Fewer groups • Performing the same function UH-OH! • Fungal spike at the K/T boundary • Some groups disappeared • Others evolved into modern groups So, What Good Are They? Decomposers Economically Important Saccharomyces cerevisiae Historically Important Uncinula necator causes Salem witch trials: Claviceps purpurea causes rye Phytophthora infestans caused the Irish powdery mildew of ergot potato famine grapes Human Pathogens Tinea corporis Candida albicans Tinea pedis • More than 100,000 species of known fungi • Estimated that there are ~1.5 million species worldwide Fungal Groups Fungi are divided into four groups Chytridiomycota • Oldest known group of fungi – May be ancestors to modern fungal groups • Predominately aquatic – Flagellated gametes • Cell walls of chitin – Same as modern day fungi • About 1,000 known species Zygomycota • Mostly terrestrial • No flagellated cells • Reproduce via zygospores • About 1,000 known species Rhizopus sp.

  • Bur¯Aq Depicted As Amanita Muscaria in a 15Th Century Timurid-Illuminated Manuscript?
    ORIGINAL ARTICLE Journal of Psychedelic Studies 3(2), pp. 133–141 (2019) DOI: 10.1556/2054.2019.023 First published online September 24, 2019 Bur¯aq depicted as Amanita muscaria in a 15th century Timurid-illuminated manuscript? ALAN PIPER* Independent Scholar, Newham, London, UK (Received: May 8, 2019; accepted: August 2, 2019) A series of illustrations in a 15th century Timurid manuscript record the mi’raj, the ascent through the seven heavens by Mohammed, the Prophet of Islam. Several of the illustrations depict Bur¯aq, the fabulous creature by means of which Mohammed achieves his ascent, with distinctive features of the Amanita muscaria mushroom. A. muscaria or “fly agaric” is a psychoactive mushroom used by Siberian shamans to enter the spirit world for the purposes of conversing with spirits or diagnosing and curing disease. Using an interdisciplinary approach, the author explores the routes by which Bur¯aq could have come to be depicted in this manuscript with the characteristics of a psychoactive fungus, when any suggestion that the Prophet might have had recourse to a drug to accomplish his spirit journey would be anathema to orthodox Islam. There is no suggestion that Mohammad’s night journey (isra) or ascent (mi’raj) was accomplished under the influence of a psychoactive mushroom or plant. Keywords: Mi’raj, Timurid, Central Asia, shamanism, Siberia, Amanita muscaria CULTURAL CONTEXT Bur¯aq depicted as Amanita muscaria in the mi’raj manscript The mi’raj manuscript In the Muslim tradition, the mi’raj was preceded by the isra or “Night Journey” during which Mohammed traveled An illustrated manuscript depicting, in a series of miniatures, overnight from Mecca to Jerusalem by means of a fabulous thesuccessivestagesofthemi’raj, the miraculous ascent of beast called Bur¯aq.

(2005): Central European genera of the Boletaceae and Suillaceae, with notes on their anatomical characters. - Czech Mycol. 57: 1-50. A taxonomic survey of Central European genera of the families Boletaceae and Suillaceae with tubular hymenophores, including the lamellate Phylloporus, is presented. Questions concerning the delimitation of the bolete genera are discussed. Descriptions and keys to the families and genera are based predominantly on anatomical characters of the carpophores. Attention is also paid to peripheral layers of stipe tissue, whose anatomical structure has not been sufficiently studied. The study of these layers, above all of the caulohymenium and the lateral stipe stratum, can provide information important for a better understanding of relationships between taxonomic groups in these families. The presence (or absence) of the caulohymenium with spore-bearing caulobasidia on the stipe surface is here considered as a significant ge­ neric character of boletes. A new combination, Pseudoboletus astraeicola (Imazeki) Šutara, is proposed. Key words: Boletaceae, Suillaceae, generic taxonomy, anatomical characters. Šutara J.

    Appendix In this Appendix biographical sketches are compiled of many scientists who have made notable contributions to the development of peptide chemistry up to its present state. We have tried to consider names mainly connected with important events during the earlier periods of peptide history, but could not include all authors mentioned in the text of this book.

ISSN (online) 2154-8889 MYCOTAXON http://dx.doi.org/10.5248/123.91 Volume 123, pp. 91–93 January–March 2013 Eight new combinations and a replacement name in the genus Hygrocybe Alan E. Bessette*, Arleen R. Bessette, William C. Roody & Walter E. Sturgeon * Correspondence to: [email protected] Abstract — Eight invalidly published combinations and one nomen novum in the genus Hygrocybe are validated in this paper. Key words — Hygrophorus, valid publication In Waxcap Mushrooms of Eastern North America (Bessette et al. 2012), eleven Hygrophorus names were invalidly transferred into the genus Hygrocybe because they lacked full and direct basionym references. Three of these eleven taxa (H. murina, H. conica var. atrosanguinea and H. pratensis var. robusta) had previously been validly combined by Malloch (2010). The remaining eight combinations are validated here. According to current interpretations of Hygrocybe by Bon (1976), Pegler (1983), Singer (1986), Young & Wood (1997), Young (2005), and Boertmann (2010), all these taxa should be transferred based on both their macroscopic characters and micromorphology. It should, however, be noted that the genus Hygrocybe currently is under revision based on molecular information, and that significant changes in the taxonomy are expected (Lodge et al. 2006, Boertmann 2010). Each of the taxa for which we propose a new combination has slender basidia, parallel to interwoven hymenophoral trama, and a pileipellis that is a cutis. Several of these taxa have been cited as Hygrocybe species in mushroom club newsletters and species lists as well as in the literature (e.g., Arora 1986, Barron 1999) without a valid combination (Boertmann 2002).
