  • Physiological and Cultural Properties of the Luminous Fungus Omphalotus Af
    Journal of Siberian Federal University. Biology 2 (2009 2) 157-171 ~ ~ ~ УДК 579 Physiological and Cultural Properties of the Luminous Fungus Omphalotus af. Illudent Dao Thi Van* BIO-LUMI Company Ltd., 2/6 Do Nang Te, Binh Tri Dong ward Binh Tan dist, Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam 1 Received 1.06.2009, received in revised form 8.06.2009, accepted 15.06.2009 The luminous fungus that we have described as a presumably new species, Omphalotus af. illudent, grows in rain forests in the south of Vietnam on the dead tree wood, mostly on the rubber tree (Hevea). It emits exceptionally bright light in all phases of its life cycle, from germinate spores and mycelium to fruiting bodies. This study describes the life cycle of Omphalotus af. illudent (Neonatapanus) and determination of the optimal parameters of the temperature, humidity, pH, concentration of mineral elements, and composition of the nutrient media. Measurements have been performed to determine the destructive enzymatic activity of the mycelium towards some of the wood components. Optimal mycelial growth and luminescence have been found to occur under different conditions. The study of the parameters of Omphalotus af.illudent provided a basis for successful large-scale cultivation of this fungus and, hence, preparation of sufficient quantities of material for studies of the biochemical and genetic mechanisms underlying fungal bioluminescence and examination of the biochemical components of the fungus that are potentially valuable for pharmacology (illudin etc.). The brightness and steadiness of Omphalotus af. illudent luminescence make this fungus a good candidate for continuous bioluminescent analytical systems. Keywords: fungi bioluminescence, Omphalotus af.

  • Coco Lumber Sawdust
    MushroomPart II. Oyster Growers Mushrooms’ Handbook 1 Chapter 5. Substrate 91 Oyster Mushroom Cultivation Part II. Oyster Mushrooms Chapter 5 Substrate COCO LUMBER SAWDUST J. Christopher D. Custodio Bataan State College, the Philippines Oyster Mushrooms (Pleurotus spp.) are saprophytic as they obtain there nutrients by decomposing various agricultural by-products. This mushroom has been cultivated worldwide because of its taste and low maintenance technology. There are different substrates that have already been identified that can be utilized for the cultivation of oyster mushroom. The possible substrates include rice straw, coffee pulps, sawdust, and even paper. Most of these are types of low-value lignocellulosic wastes that are primarily derived from agricultural practices or the agro-industry. (J.A. Buswell et. al., 1996) The bioconversion of these wastes is one reason why the cultivation of edible mushrooms is an appropriate practice for a society that depends on its agriculture. In the early 1990s, ‘coco lumber’ was given a great attention in the province as a substitute for hardwood. Sawmills producing lumber from coconut trees bloomed in reaction to the increasing demand for this low cost constructional material. Though beginners in mushroom cultivation are usually persuaded not to use sawdust from softwoods, sawdust from coco lumber (Fig. 1) is another possible substrate for P. ostreatus and has shown great results. Growers living near a coco lumber sawmill can make use of this waste product in order to start their own cultivation of oyster mushroom species. Figure 1. Coco lumber sawdust Coco Lumber Sawdust as a Substrate of Oyster Mushroom Oyster mushroom is one example of edible mushrooms that can utilize lignocellulosic materials as a substrate.

  • Critical Review of Russula Species (Agaricomycetes) Known from Tatra National Park (Poland and Slovakia)
    Polish Botanical Journal 54(1): 41–53, 2009 CRITICAL REVIEW OF RUSSULA SPECIES (AGARICOMYCETES) KNOWN FROM TATRA NATIONAL PARK (POLAND AND SLOVAKIA) ANNA RONIKIER & SLAVOMÍR ADAMČÍK Abstract. All available published data on the occurrence of Russula species in Tatra National Park are summarized. Excluding the doubtful data, which are discussed herein, 66 species are recognized in Tatra National Park. Within each of the three main geomorphological units of the range, 42 species were recorded in the West Tatras, 18 in the High Tatras, and 16 in the Belanské Tatry Mts; additionally, 35 species were found in areas outside the Tatra Mts but within the National Park borders. Montane forests are the richest in Russula species (58); 13 species were found in the subalpine and 8 in the alpine belt. The number of reported species is highest in the Polish part of the West Tatra Mts; almost no data are available from the Slovak High Tatras. The smallest unit, the Belanské Tatry Mts, is the Tatra region best studied for alpine species. In comparison to other regions in Poland and Slovakia, Tatra National Park seems to be relatively well investigated, but in view of the richness of habitats in the Tatra Mts, we believe the actual diversity of Russula species in the region is higher than presently known. Key words: Russula, fungi, biodiversity, Slovakia, Poland, mountains, altitudinal zones Anna Ronikier, Department of Mycology, W.

  • The Secotioid Syndrome
    76(1) Mycologia January -February 1984 Official Publication of the Mycological Society of America THE SECOTIOID SYNDROME Department of Biological Sciences, Sun Francisco State University, Sun Francisco, California 94132 I would like to begin this lecture by complimenting the Officers and Council of The Mycological Society of America for their high degree of cooperation and support during my term of office and for their obvious dedication to the welfare of the Society. In addition. I welcome the privilege of expressing my sincere appreciation to the membership of The Mycological Society of America for al- lowing me to serve them as President and Secretary-Treasurer of the Society. It has been a long and rewarding association. Finally, it is with great pleasure and gratitude that I dedicate this lecture to Dr. Alexander H. Smith, Emeritus Professor of Botany at the University of Michigan, who, over thirty years ago in a moment of weakness, agreed to accept me as a graduate student and who has spent a good portion of the ensuing years patiently explaining to me the intricacies, inconsis- tencies and attributes of the higher fungi. Thank you, Alex, for the invaluable experience and privilege of spending so many delightful and profitable hours with you. The purpose of this lecture is to explore the possible relationships between the gill fungi and the secotioid fungi, both epigeous and hypogeous, and to present a hypothesis regarding the direction of their evolution. Earlier studies on the secotioid fungi have been made by Harkness (I), Zeller (13). Zeller and Dodge (14, 15), Singer (2), Smith (5.
