Morel Morchella Spp. ILLINOIS RANGE morel Morchella spp. Kingdom: Fungi FEATURES Phylum: Ascomycota Morels are part of a group of fungi called sponge Class: Pezizomycetes mushrooms. The name is applied because of the Order: Pezizales spongelike cap of these organisms. They are large fungi with hollow stalks. Slots are often present at Family: Morchellaceae the base of the stalk. The cap is oval to conical in ILLINOIS STATUS shape. Spores are yellow. These fungi range in color from white to brown with the stalk lighter common, native than the cap. BEHAVIORS Morels may be found statewide in Illinois. They grow in scattered groups in forests and sometimes in open, disturbed areas. Spores are produced in late spring. Morel spores contain clusters of oil droplets. ILLINOIS RANGE © Illinois Department of Natural Resources. 2021. Biodiversity of Illinois.

  • Fermentation Optimization and Antioxidant Activities of Mycelia Polysaccharides from Morchella Esculenta Using Soybean Residues
    African Journal of Biotechnology Vol. 12(11), pp. 1239-1249, 13 March, 2013 Available online at http://www.academicjournals.org/AJB DOI: 10.5897/AJB12.1883 ISSN 1684–5315 ©2013 Academic Journals Full Length Research Paper Fermentation optimization and antioxidant activities of mycelia polysaccharides from Morchella esculenta using soybean residues Jie Gang1*, Yitong Fang1, Zhi Wang1 and Yanhong Liu2 1College of Life Sciences, Dalian Nationalities University, Dalian, 116600, People’s Republic of China. 2Molecular Characterization of Foodborne Pathogens Research Unit, Eastern Regional Research Center, 600 East Mermaid Lane, Wyndmoor, PA 19038, USA. Accepted 9 November, 2012 The mycelia polysaccharides from Morchella esculenta are active ingredients in a number of medicines that play important roles in immunity improvement and tumor growth inhibition. So far, the production of polysaccharides from M. esculenta mycelia has not been commercialized. The aims of this work were to screen and optimize the fermentation conditions to produce mycelia polysaccharides from using soybean residues as basic substrates in the composition of the medium, and to evaluate the antioxidant activities of mycelia polysaccharides from M. esculenta. Our results demonstrate that M. esculenta mycelia made good use of soybean residues. The optimal media contained the following components (g/l): soybean residue, 22.2; glucose, 20.1; KH2PO4 2.0 and MgSO4·7H2O 1.5. The optimum parameters of liquid culture were identified as the following: initial fermentation pH 7.0, inoculation volume 10%, temperature 28°C, and fermentation time 56 h. Under these optimized conditions, the values of dry cell weight (DCW) and the production rates of mycelia polysaccharides were 36.22 g/l and 68.23 mg/g, respectively.

  • A Case of the Yellow Morel from Israel Segula Masaphy,* Limor Zabari, Doron Goldberg, and Gurinaz Jander-Shagug
    The Complexity of Morchella Systematics: A Case of the Yellow Morel from Israel Segula Masaphy,* Limor Zabari, Doron Goldberg, and Gurinaz Jander-Shagug A B C Abstract Individual morel mushrooms are highly polymorphic, resulting in confusion in their taxonomic distinction. In particu- lar, yellow morels from northern Israel, which are presumably Morchella esculenta, differ greatly in head color, head shape, ridge arrangement, and stalk-to-head ratio. Five morphologically distinct yellow morel fruiting bodies were genetically character- ized. Their internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region within the nuclear ribosomal DNA and partial LSU (28S) gene were se- quenced and analyzed. All of the analyzed morphotypes showed identical genotypes in both sequences. A phylogenetic tree with retrieved NCBI GenBank sequences showed better fit of the ITS sequences to D E M. crassipes than M. esculenta but with less than 85% homology, while LSU sequences, Figure 1. Fruiting body morphotypes examined in this study. (A) MS1-32, (B) MS1-34, showed more then 98.8% homology with (C) MS1-52, (D) MS1-106, (E) MS1-113.

Genetic and genomic insights into the successional patterns and reproduction methods of fire-associated Morchella. MS in Biology, May 2020, 81pp. (T. Osmundson) Burn morels are among the earliest-emerging post-fire organisms in western North American montane coniferous forests, occurring in large numbers the year after a fire. Despite their significant economic and ecological importance, little is known about their duration of reproduction after a fire or the genetic and reproductive implications of mass fruiting events. I addressed these unknowns using post-fire surveys in British Columbia, Canada and Montana, USA in May/June of 2019. To assess fruiting duration, I collected specimens in second-year sites, where burn morels were collected the previous year, and identified them using DNA sequencing.

A distribution map of morels identified to date in Turkey is also provided. Key words—Ascomycota, conservation, edible fungi, Morchellaceae, systematics, taxonomy Introduction True morels (Morchella), among the most highly prized edible macrofungi, are classified in the Morchellaceae (Pezizales, Ascomycota). This monophyletic family also includes Disciotis, Kalapuya, Fischerula, Imaia, Leucangium, and Verpa (O’Donnell et al. 1997, Trappe et al. 2010). Several multilocus DNA sequence-based analyses of Morchella that employed phylogenetic species recognition based on genealogical concordance (GCPSR sensu Taylor et al. 2000) have revealed that most species exhibit continental endemism and provincialism in the northern hemisphere (Du et al.

Two specimens collected from subalpine conifer forests in Hokkaido in 2004 and 2011 are the only records of the genus in Japan. Since they were identified as L. carthusianum without detailed examination, in-depth morphological observation and phylogenetic analysis were necessary to confirm their taxonomic placement. In this study, we critically re- examined the Japanese specimens. Morphologically, the length of ascospores of the Japanese L. carthusianum was found to be much shorter than that indicated by the original descriptions of the type species and its variety. Phylogenetic analyses based on two nuclear ribosomal DNA regions showed significant genetic divergence between the Japanese specimens and other specimens of L.

Introduction As I mentioned in my review of the literature on the occurrence of carotenoids in fungi (CZBCZUGA 1973), most carotenoids are either the provitamin of vitamin A or resemble that vitamin in their own biological activity (BATTEKNFEIND 1972), hence the justifible interest in the carotenoid content in the fructifications of various fungi.

It has a roughened, 16 warty, reddish brown to brown peridium, a solid whitish gleba that develops grayish brown 17 mottling as the spores mature, and produces a cheesy-garlicky odor by maturity. Its 18 smooth, ellipsoid spores resemble those of Morchella spp.
