PLANTS OF MONROE COUNTY, NEW YORK, AND ADJACENT TERRITORY. SUPPLEMENTARY LIST. By Florence Beckwith, Mary E. Macauley, and Milton S. Baxter, Committee of the Botanical Section. CONTENTS. Explanation, Territory included, Acknowledgments, Introduction of species, Recently described species, Statistics, The Catalogue, Explanation of plan, List of Phanerogams, Dicotyledons, Monocotyledons Gymnosperms, List of Cryptogams, Index, .-. Explanation. In 1896, after years of earnest labor, the Botanical Section of the Rochester Academy of Science published a list of the "Plants of Monroe County, New York, and Adjacent Territory." The list aimed to give the names of plants growing without cultivation in Monroe and adjoining counties, and at the time it was published it was thought to be quite complete for Monroe county, though it was not claimed to be so for the adjacent ones. The publication of that list, however, stimulated the botanists of this region to renewed efforts, with the result that so large a number of new plants was found and so many new stations for some which had been considered scarce or rare, that the publication of a supple mentary list was shown to be necessary. A Committee of the Botani cal Section, as named above, was appointed to prepare a new list. From the records of the Section, the Committee has prepared the following list. Specimens of the plants named are contained in the Central Library of Rochester and Monroe County · Historic Serials Collection OF SCIENCE. 2 ROCHESTER ACADEMY of the members of herbarium of the Academy, or in the collections of Rochester, the Botanical Section and of the Park Commission unless otherwise noted. Territory Included. area as the list of 1896, The territory included covers the same of Genesee, comprising the whole of Monroe county and parts A few Orleans, Ontario, Wayne and Livingston counties. plants and counties which our botanists have found 'in Allegany Wyoming in the have been included in this list, as these counties lie drainage that basin of the Genesee river, and also because it seemed desirable a record should be made of them. Acknowledgments. The thanks of the Committee are especially due to Mr. J. B. Fuller for much painstaking work in the determination of specimens whose faithful and and on the herbarium ; to Mrs. J. H. McGuire, conscientious labor as Recorder of the Botanical Section for many and to all the members of the Section years was of great service ; whose zeal and enthusiasm have added new plants to the list and given encouragement to the Committee. It is with regret that the Committee announces the deaths of two botanists who had done much for botanical research in our county : Dr. Charles M. Booth and Mr. Charles W. Seelye.* Dr. Booth was a most enthusiastic collector, and in the fall of 1896 added largely to the number of plants named in the following list, especially the newly introduced ones along our railroads. For many years he had been greatly interested in Mosses and the Carices, and his large collections of these plants have been given to the Academy of Science. Mr. Seelye, who was especially interested in Ferns, some years ago pre sented his extensive collection to the Academy, together with valuable publications pertaining to them. (Sec Vol. 3, p. x86). Since this paper was completed and in the hands of the printer, two more of our botanists have passed away : Mr. Joseph B. Fuller, of Rochester, and Mr. E. L. Hankenson, of Newark, N. Y. Mr. Fuller's death occurred on February 16, igio, at the age of 82. For many years he was Curator in Botany of the Academy and the leading authority in the Botanical Section. Mr. Hankenson was a well-known botanist of Wayne county and contributed many specimens from that locality to the herbarium of our Academy. It is proposed to publish biographical sketches of Mr. Fuller, Dr. Booth, Mr. Seelye, Mrs. Mary E. Streeter and Mr. Hankenson in a later brochure of these Proceedings.

  • Antibacterial Activities of Clitocybe Nuda Extract on Foodborne Pathogens
    Antibacterial activities of Clitocybe nuda extract on foodborne pathogens by Liang Bo A thesis submitted to the Graduate Faculty of Auburn University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Master of Science Auburn, Alabama August 4, 2012 Keywords: Clitocybe nuda, antibacterial activity, foodborne pathogen Copyright 2012 by Liang Bo Approved by Tung-Shi Huang, Chair, Associate Professor of Poultry Science Jean Weese, Professor of Poultry Science Thomas McCaskey, Professor of Animal Science Abstract The addition of antimicrobial agents to foods is an important approach for controlling foodborne pathogens to improve food safety. Currently, most antimicrobial agents in foods are synthetic compounds. Researchers are looking for natural antimicrobial agents to substitute for synthetic compounds in foods to control microbial growth in foods. Clitocybe nuda is an edible macrofungus which produces a large number of biologically active compounds with antibacterial activities. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial activities of Clitocybe nuda extract on foodborne pathogens and its stability at different temperatures and pHs, and to estimate the molecular weights of some of the antibacterial components of the fungus. The antimicrobial activity was evaluated by testing the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) on four foodborne pathogens: Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella typhimurium, E. coli O157:H7, and Staphylococcus aureus. The stability of the extract was tested at pH 4-10, and temperatures of 4, 72, 100, and 121°C. The growth of pathogens was significantly inhibited by the Clitocybe nuda extract. The MIC50 for Listeria monocytogenes, Salmonella typhimurium, E. coli O157:H7 and Staphylococcus aureus are 79.20, 84.51, 105.86, and 143.60 mg/mL, respectively.

However, as Art. 34.1. only refers to anticipation of futureacceptance of a taxon, and not listed combination to anticipation of future rejection of a taxon, and as Emel explicitly the A.

  • MUSHROOMS of the OTTAWA NATIONAL FOREST Compiled By
    MUSHROOMS OF THE OTTAWA NATIONAL FOREST Compiled by Dana L. Richter, School of Forest Resources and Environmental Science, Michigan Technological University, Houghton, MI for Ottawa National Forest, Ironwood, MI March, 2011 Introduction There are many thousands of fungi in the Ottawa National Forest filling every possible niche imaginable. A remarkable feature of the fungi is that they are ubiquitous! The mushroom is the large spore-producing structure made by certain fungi. Only a relatively small number of all the fungi in the Ottawa forest ecosystem make mushrooms. Some are distinctive and easily identifiable, while others are cryptic and require microscopic and chemical analyses to accurately name. This is a list of some of the most common and obvious mushrooms that can be found in the Ottawa National Forest, including a few that are uncommon or relatively rare. The mushrooms considered here are within the phyla Ascomycetes – the morel and cup fungi, and Basidiomycetes – the toadstool and shelf-like fungi. There are perhaps 2000 to 3000 mushrooms in the Ottawa, and this is simply a guess, since many species have yet to be discovered or named. This number is based on lists of fungi compiled in areas such as the Huron Mountains of northern Michigan (Richter 2008) and in the state of Wisconsin (Parker 2006). The list contains 227 species from several authoritative sources and from the author’s experience teaching, studying and collecting mushrooms in the northern Great Lakes States for the past thirty years. Although comments on edibility of certain species are given, the author neither endorses nor encourages the eating of wild mushrooms except with extreme caution and with the awareness that some mushrooms may cause life-threatening illness or even death.

  • October 2013
    MushRumors The Newsletter of the Northwest Mushroomers Association Volume 24, Issue 2 August - October 2013 Record Rainfalls Hit Washington! The Perfect Myco - Storm! In the aftermath of one of the most memorable spring mushroom seasons in recent memory, highlighted by perhaps the best morel onslaught ever before seen, the rains of June which led to these ideal conditions, yielded to what would be a warm, dry July and first half of August. Then it happened. Unlike last year, when Photo by Daniel Viney high pressure dominated Washington’s weather, dismissing any and all precipitation for a record 88 consecutive days, on August 10, 2013, a very unusual weather pattern produced intense thunderstorms all across the region, dousing both the eastern and western slopes of the Cascades and dumping nearly 6 inches of rain on some of the alpine passes. In addition to causing mudslides that would close some of the highways leading over those passes, the storms had another profound effect: fall mushrooms, which have not enjoyed any truly favorable conditions in our area’s high country since 2009, were awakened with a vengeance. Within a week of these storms, a full array of mushrooms King boletes, emerging in droves, in August! rarely seen at these elevations until late September, were in stunning abundance. King boletes, admirable boletes, gypsy mushrooms, and shrimp russulas fruited in staggering numbers. As a result of temperatures holding into the mid- 70s, the only real challenge was getting to the boletes before the worms could devour them. The heat greatly accelerated the life cycle of the offending flies.

  • How to Distinguish Amanita Smithiana from Matsutake and Catathelasma Species
    VOLUME 57: 1 JANUARY-FEBRUARY 2017 www.namyco.org How to Distinguish Amanita smithiana from Matsutake and Catathelasma species By Michael W. Beug: Chair, NAMA Toxicology Committee A recent rash of mushroom poisonings involving liver failure in Oregon prompted Michael Beug to issue the following photos and information on distinguishing the differences between the toxic Amanita smithiana and edible Matsutake and Catathelasma. Distinguishing the choice edible Amanita smithiana Amanita smithiana Matsutake (Tricholoma magnivelare) from the highly poisonous Amanita smithiana is best done by laying the stipe (stem) of the mushroom in the palm of your hand and then squeezing down on the stipe with your thumb, applying as much pressure as you can. Amanita smithiana is very firm but if you squeeze hard, the stipe will shatter. Matsutake The stipe of the Matsutake is much denser and will not shatter (unless it is riddled with insect larvae and is no longer in good edible condition). There are other important differences. The flesh of Matsutake peels or shreds like string cheese. Also, the stipe of the Matsutake is widest near the gills Matsutake and tapers gradually to a point while the stipe of Amanita smithiana tends to be bulbous and is usually widest right at ground level. The partial veil and ring of a Matsutake is membranous while the partial veil and ring of Amanita smithiana is powdery and readily flocculates into small pieces (often disappearing entirely). For most people the difference in odor is very distinctive. Most collections of Amanita smithiana have a bleach-like odor while Matsutake has a distinctive smell of old gym socks and cinnamon redhots (however, not all people can distinguish the odors).
