  • 100% Natural Birch Tree Chaga Mushrooms
    2/28/2018 100% NATURAL BIRCH TREE CHAGA MUSHROOMS Grown in the Pristine Forests of Northern Canada 100% NATURAL BIRCH TREE CHAGA MUSHROOMS GROWN IN THE PRISTINE FORESTS OF NORTHERN CANADA Chaga is a highly nutritious mushroom that grows on birch trees in below freezing temperatures. Semintha Chaga grows at -40°C in a primeval organic environment clear of any nuclear waste, contaminants or other toxins making Semintha chaga mushrooms safe for chronic consumption and highly effective. Chaga is the dense black mass (25-40 cm large) that can be seen on the outside of birch trees. It is a dense sterile mass of mycelia, with decayed bits of birch tissue incorporated. They are quite rare and difficult to harvest. When chopped from the tree the interior has a rusty yellow-brown color, somewhat granular in appearance, and is often mottled with whitish or cream-colored veins. The hard, deeply cracked black outside of the Chaga is called the sclerotium. Mature Chaga sclerotia are found on trees over 40 years of age. The estimated time period between the times of infection of the tree by the fungus to the maturity of the chaga mushroom is around 20 years. The chaga can be harvested five years post maturity. After harvesting, chaga can regrow to harvestable size again in three to ten years, and this can be repeated until the tree dies.

  • Anti-Inflammatory Activity of Plant Polyphenols
    biomedicines Editorial Special Issue: Anti-Inflammatory Activity of Plant Polyphenols Enrico Sangiovanni and Mario Dell’Agli * Department of Pharmacological and Biomolecular Sciences, Università degli Studi di Milano, Via Balzaretti 9, 20133 Milano, Italy; [email protected] * Correspondence: [email protected]; Tel.: +3902-5031-8398 Received: 5 March 2020; Accepted: 13 March 2020; Published: 18 March 2020 1. Introduction Inflammation is considered the first physiological response of the human body to infection or injury, playing a critical role in both innate and adaptive immunity. It is characterized by the complex biological response of vascular tissues to harmful stimuli, such as pathogens, damaged or tumoral cells, or irritants. Uncontrolled inflammation often results in chronic diseases, such as gastritis, arthritis, autoimmune disorders, degenerative joint diseases, rheumatisms, atherosclerosis, diabetes, and certain cancers. The inflammatory process is characterized by the migration of immune cells from blood vessels to the site of inflammation, with massive release of pro-inflammatory mediators, including cytokines, chemokines, prostaglandins, leukotrienes, and oxidative agents such as reactive oxygen species (ROS) above all. The search for new strategies which are able to interfere with these mechanisms by preventing a prolonged inflammation would greatly benefit large number of subjects. In this respect, the plant kingdom has developed a multitude of secondary metabolites, many of which are recognized as useful tools

  • The Wood Cross Sections of Hermann Nördlinger (1818–1897)
    IAWA Journal, Vol. 29 (4), 2008: 439–457 THE WOOD CROSS SECTIONS OF HERMANN NÖRDLINGER (1818–1897) Ben Bubner Leibniz-Zentrum für Agrarlandschaftsforschung (ZALF) e.V., Institut für Landschaftsstoffdynamik, Eberswalder Str. 84, 15374 Müncheberg, Germany [E-mail: [email protected]] SUMMARY Hermann Nördlinger (1818–1897), forestry professor in Hohenheim, Germany, published a series of wood cross sections in the years 1852 to 1888 that are introduced here to the modern wood anatomist. The sec- tions, which vary from 50 to 100 μm in thickness, are mounted on sheets of paper and their quality is high enough to observe microscopic details. Their technical perfection is as remarkable as the mode of distribution: sections of 100 wood species were presented in a box together with a booklet containing wood anatomical descriptions. These boxes were dis- tributed as books by the publisher Cotta, from Stuttgart, Germany, with a maximum circulation of 500 per volume. Eleven volumes comprise 1100 wood species from all over the world. These include not only conifers and broadleaved trees but also shrubs, ferns and palms representing a wide variety of woody structures. Excerpts of this collection were also pub- lished in Russian, English and French. Today, volumes of Nördlingerʼs cross sections are found in libraries throughout Europe and the United States. Thus, they are relatively easily accessible to wood anatomists who are interested in historic wood sections. A checklist with the content of each volume is appended. Key words: Cross section, wood collection, wood anatomy, history. INTRODUCTION Wood scientists who want to distinguish wood species anatomically rely on thin sec- tions mounted on glass slides and descriptions in books that are illustrated with micro- photographs.

  • Field Guide – Common Trees and Shrubs of Georgia
    Introduction Up to 400 species of trees and shrubs grow in Georgian for- ests. This Field Guide contains information about 100 species of trees and shrubs from 38 plant families. The abundance of relict and endemic timber species (61 species endemic to Geor- gia and 43 species endemic to the Caucasus) indicates the high biodiversity of Georgian forests. Georgian forests provide habitats and migration corridors to a range of wild fauna, and play an important role in the conserva- tion of the genetic diversity of animal species in the region. In conditions of complex and deeply dissected relief, characteristic to Georgia, forests are especially important due to their climate regulation, water regulation and soil protection functions. Forests also ensure the continuous delivery of vital benefits and resources to the population, and facilitate the development of a range of industries. Introduction In this Field Guide each plant family is displayed in a different color. The Field Guide contains an alphabetical index of species, as well as the names of species in Latin and English, as estab- lished by the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature. The Field Guide also contains a brief description of the taxo- nomic characteristics, range and protection status of each spe- cies.
