Pillole di Saggezza News di Domenico Saccà Dieta Mediterranea vince "mondiale" tra i regimi alimentari La dieta mediterranea si è classificata come migliore dieta al mondo, davanti alla dash e alla flexariana. Lo rende noto la Coldiretti sulla base del best diets ranking 2020 elaborato dal media statunitense U.S. News & World's Report's , noto anche per i consigli ai consumatori. "La dieta mediterranea ha vinto la sfida tra 35 diverse alternati - ve con un punteggio di 4,2 su 5 grazie agli effetti positivi sulla longevità e ai benefici per la salute, tra cui perdita e controllo del peso, salute del cuore e del sistema nervoso, prevenzione del cancro e delle malattie croniche, prevenzione e controllo del dia - bete". "Il primato generale della dieta mediterranea - precisa ancora la Coldiretti - è stato ottenuto grazie al primo posto in ben quattro specifiche categorie: prevenzione e cura del diabete, mangiare sano, componenti a base vegetale e facilità a seguirla. A contendere la vittoria della dieta mediterranea sul podio sono state quella dash contro l'ipertensione che si classifica al posto d'onore e la flexa - riana, un modo flessibile di alimentarsi. Al quarto posto la dieta mind che previene e riduce il decli - no cognitivo e la storica dieta ipocalorica weight watchers". L'apprezzamento mondiale per la dieta mediterranea fondata principalmente su piccole porzioni di pane, pasta, frutta, verdura, carne, olio extravergine e il tradizionale bicchiere di vino consumati a tavola in pasti regolari si deve, ricorda infine la Coldiretti, agli studi dello scienziato americano Ancel Keys che per primo ne ha evidenziato gli effetti benefici dopo aver vissuto per oltre 40 anni ad Acciaroli in provincia di Salerno. Bere tè almeno tre volte a settimana allunga la vita Bere tè almeno tre volte a settimana allunga la vita e mantiene il corpo in salute. Infatti, riduce il rischio di malattie cardiovascolari e fa diminuire il tasso di mortalità. A dirlo è uno studio pubblica - to dallo European Journal of Preventive Cardiology e realizzato dall' Accademia cinese di scienze mediche . L'analisi ha incluso oltre 100mila persone. Ai bevitori frequenti di tè è stata diagnosticata una malattia cardiovascolare aterosclerotica 1,41 anni dopo gli altri ed è stato notato come vivano 1,26 anni in più rispetto a chi beve tè raramente o non lo beve per nulla. Chi beveva abitualmente tè, inoltre, ha avuto un rischio ridotto del 56% di avere malattie cardiache e ictus letali e un rischio ridotto di morte del 29% per tutte le altre cause. In un'analisi di tipi di tè, è emerso che l'uso del tè verde porta a un calo del 25% delle malattie car - diache, degli ictus e delle morti rispetto alle altre qualità di prodotto. Questa percentuale, però, è presa con le dovute accortezze da parte degli studiosi, visto che nell'analisi solo l'8% degli intervi - stati consumava tè nero. Lo studio ha anche notato che i benefici del tè sono stati maggiori negli uomini che nelle donne. Secondo i ricercatori cinesi il tè verde è una ricca fonte di polifenoli che proteggono dalle malattie cardiovascolari e dai suoi fattori di rischio, tra cui l'ipertensione e la dislipidemia.Il tè nero, invece, è completamente fermentato e durante questo processo i polifenoli vengono ossidati in pigmenti e 2 possono perdere i loro effetti antiossidanti. News Frutta e verdura, italiani non mangiano giusta quantità I giovani mangiano circa il 60% della verdura quo - tidiana consigliata e gli adulti l'80%: in tutti e due i casi si mangiano meno verdure di quante ne ser - virebbero per un'equilibrata alimentazione protetti - va. E' quanto emerge da una ricerca dell' Osservatorio Grana Padano che ha valutato le abitudini alimentari di 5.500 italiani al fine di for - nire i consigli per migliorare le difese immunitarie e difendersi dall'influenza. Dai risultati dell'indagi - ne emerge che lo stile alimentare adottato dagli italiani non aiuta a fermare i virus influenzali e a migliorare i sintomi dell'influenza visto che che non si mangia la giusta quantità di frutta e verdu - ra: i giovani (anni 14-18) mangiano meno verdura rispetto agli adulti (anni 18-70) e mediamente con - sumano, tra verdura cotta e cruda, 217 grammi, gli adulti ne assumono 328 grammi. Entrambe le quantità- spiega una nota- non sono sufficienti, secondo quanto raccomandano le linee guida della Sinu (Società Italiana di Nutrizione Umana) che consiglia 400 grammi di verdura al giorno in maggioranza cruda (mediamente 2 porzioni da 200 g cadauna tra cotta e cruda, come pomodori, sedano, finocchi, carote, ma anche zucchine, melanzane, carciofi). La ricerca rileva inoltre che, nel campione preso in considerazione, non solo il consumo di verdu - ra è insufficiente , ma anche la quantità di frutta consumata. Di frutta, soprattutto quella di stagio - ne, i ragazzi mediamente ne consumano 63 g, cioè meno di un'arancia al giorno, e non superano i 200 g totali quotidiani, a dispetto dei 450 g consigliati dalla Sinu (in media 3 porzioni). Gli adulti, invece, arrivano a 290 g di frutta al giorno Mangiare cibi "croccanti" può aiutarti a dimagrire È un dato di fatto che con l’avanzare dell’età tendiamo a ingrassare e contemporaneamente mutano i nostri gusti in fatto di cibo (ecco perché da piccoli non ci piacciono le verdure e da grandi sì): per tene - re a bada le calorie in eccesso i nutrizionisti consigliano di consuma - re – seppur con moderazione – noci, mandorle e nocciole. Dai dati relativi ad uno studio su vasta scala condotto per due decen - ni dall ’Università di Harvard su 300mila persone è emerso che chi mangiava 14 gr. al giorno di questo tipo di frutta secca tendeva a evi - tare l’accumulo di grasso in eccesso. Questi cibi sono calorici, ma contengono anche molte fibre e soprattutto ci fanno sentire sazi sin da subito grazie al buon contenuto di proteine che contengono. La dietologa Juliette Kellow ha fatto sapere a Cosmopolitan UK : “Gli alimenti con una consisten - za dura e croccante come le noci hanno bisogno di una maggiore masticazione e quindi rimango - no nella nostra bocca più a lungo del cibo morbido.

  • Revised Taxonomy and Phylogeny of an Avian-Dispersed Neotropical Rhizomorph-Forming Fungus

Koch1 & D. Jean Lodge2,3 & Susanne Sourell4 & Karen Nakasone5 & Austin G. McCoy1,6 & M. Catherine Aime1 Received: 4 March 2018 /Revised: 21 May 2018 /Accepted: 24 May 2018 # This is a U.S. Government work and not under copyright protection in the US; foreign copyright protection may apply 2018 Abstract Rhizomorpha corynecarpos Kunze was originally described from wet forests in Suriname. This unusual fungus forms white, sterile rhizomorphs bearing abundant club-shaped branches. Its evolutionary origins are unknown because reproductive struc- tures have never been found. Recent collections and observations of R. corynecarpos were made from Belize, Brazil, Ecuador, Guyana, and Peru. Phylogenetic analyses of three nuclear rDNA regions (internal transcribed spacer, large ribosomal subunit, and small ribosomal subunit) were conducted to resolve the phylogenetic relationship of R. corynecarpos. Results show that this fungus is sister to Brunneocorticium bisporum—a widely distributed, tropical crust fungus. These two taxa along with Neocampanella blastanos form a clade within the primarily mushroom-forming Marasmiaceae. Based on phylogenetic evidence and micromorphological similarities, we propose the new combination, Brunneocorticium corynecarpon, to accommodate this species. Brunneocorticium corynecarpon is a pathogen, infecting the crowns of trees and shrubs in the Neotropics; the long, dangling rhizomorphs with lateral prongs probably colonize neighboring trees. Longer-distance dispersal can be accomplished by birds as it is used as construction material in nests of various avian species. Keywords Agaricales . Fungal systematics .

  • Bioluminescence in Mushroom and Its Application Potentials
    Nigerian Journal of Science and Environment, Vol. 14 (1) (2016) BIOLUMINESCENCE IN MUSHROOM AND ITS APPLICATION POTENTIALS Ilondu, E. M.* and Okiti, A. A. Department of Botany, Faculty of Science, Delta State University, Abraka, Nigeria. *Corresponding author. E-mail: [email protected]. Tel: 2348036758249. ABSTRACT Bioluminescence is a biological process through which light is produced and emitted by a living organism resulting from a chemical reaction within the body of the organism. The mechanism behind this phenomenon is an oxygen-dependent reaction involving substrates generally termed luciferin, which is catalyzed by one or more of an assortment of unrelated enzyme called luciferases. The history of bioluminescence in fungi can be traced far back to 382 B.C. when it was first noted by Aristotle in his early writings. It is the nature of bioluminescent mushrooms to emit a greenish light at certain stages in their life cycle and this light has a maximum wavelength range of 520-530 nm. Luminescence in mushroom has been hypothesized to attract invertebrates that aids in spore dispersal and testing for pollutants (ions of mercury) in water supply. The metabolites from luminescent mushrooms are effectively bioactive in anti-moulds, anti-bacteria, anti-virus, especially in inhibiting the growth of cancer cell and very useful in areas of biology, biotechnology and medicine as luminescent markers for developing new luminescent microanalysis methods. Luminescent mushroom is a novel area of research in the world which is beneficial to mankind especially with regards to environmental pollution monitoring and biomedical applications. Bioluminescence in fungi is a beautiful phenomenon to observe which should be of interest to Scientists of all endeavors.

  • 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.

Jadson J. S. Oliveira1,2 & Ruby Vargas-Isla2 & Tiara S. Cabral2,3 & Doriane P. Rodrigues4 & Noemia K. Ishikawa1,2 Received: 9 August 2018 /Revised: 22 February 2019 /Accepted: 26 February 2019 # German Mycological Society and Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2019 Abstract Omphalotaceae is the family of widely distributed and morphologically diverse marasmioid and gymnopoid agaric genera. Phylogenetic studies have included the family in Agaricales, grouping many traditionally and recently described genera of saprotrophic or parasitic mushroom-producing fungi. However, some genera in Omphalotaceae have not reached a stable concept that reflects monophyletic groups with identifiable morphological circumscription. This is the case of Gymnopus and Marasmiellus, which have been the target of two opposing views: (1) a more inclusive Gymnopus encompassing Marasmiellus, or (2) a more restricted Gymnopus (s. str.) while Marasmiellus remains a distict genus; both genera still await a more conclusive phylogenetic hypothesis coupled with morphological recognition. Furthermore, some new genera or undefined clades need more study. In the present paper, a phylogenetic study was conducted based on nrITS and nrLSU in single and multilocus analyses including members of the Omphalotaceae, more specifically of the genera belonging to the /letinuloid clade. The resulting trees support the view of a more restricted Gymnopus and a distinct Marasmiellus based on monophyletic and strongly supported clades on which their morphological circumscriptions and taxonomic treatments are proposed herein.

Mycorrhizal symbioses arose repeatedly across multiple lineages of Mucor- 1234567890():,; omycotina, Ascomycota, and Basidiomycota. Considerable variation exists in the capacity of mycorrhizal fungi to acquire carbon from soil organic matter. Here, we present a combined analysis of 135 fungal genomes from 73 saprotrophic, endophytic and pathogenic species, and 62 mycorrhizal species, including 29 new mycorrhizal genomes. This study samples ecologically dominant fungal guilds for which there were previously no symbiotic genomes available, including ectomycorrhizal Russulales, Thelephorales and Cantharellales. Our ana- lyses show that transitions from saprotrophy to symbiosis involve (1) widespread losses of degrading enzymes acting on lignin and cellulose, (2) co-option of genes present in sapro- trophic ancestors to fulfill new symbiotic functions, (3) diversification of novel, lineage- specific symbiosis-induced genes, (4) proliferation of transposable elements and (5) diver- gent genetic innovations underlying the convergent origins of the ectomycorrhizal guild.

    Revista Catalana de Micologia, vol. 35: 3-41; 2013. 3 AMANITA MUSCARIA, UN BOLET DE CONTE DE FADES ROGER GIL GUIÑÓN Farmacèutic. Barcelona (España). [email protected] RESUM. Amanita muscaria, un bolet de conte de fades. L’Amanita muscaria (reig bord o matamosques) és un dels bolets més populars i coneguts de tots, gràcies al seu vistós barret de color vermell amb taques blanques, i la seva presència en nombrosos contes de fades i follets.

Aquest article revisa els coneixements actuals sobre la biologia, química i toxicologia relatives a aquesta espècie, juntament amb les característiques que la diferencien de la resta d’amanites, d’efectes ben diversos. També recopila algunes de les llegendes i mites que l’envolten, i alguns dels seus usos populars. Paraules clau: reig bord, enteogen, àcid ibotènic, muscimol, síndrome micoatropínica, agaricus muscarius. ABSTRACT. Amanita muscaria, a fairytale mushroom.
