Revolucionnários
Revolucionnários (Portuguese for "''Revolutionnaries''" ) was a Brazilian alternative rock band from Santos, São Paulo. History After parting ways with his former band Charlie Brown Jr. in 2005 amid a series of creative divergences and clashes with vocalist Chorão, bassist Champignon formed Revolucionnários soon after, claiming it was always a dream of his having his own side project to Charlie Brown Jr. in which he could have more creative control over the songwriting process. Thus, he dubbed his band "Revolucionnários" because he intended to "revolutionize his life" with this new endeavor; the double "N" alludes to a numerology map made by the mother of a friend of Champignon. Drummer Pablo Silva, son of famous percussionist Robertinho Silva, was a long-time friend of Champignon, and was the first to join the band; guitarist Nando Martins lived in the same condo as Champignon, and was invited by him after they chatted in the elevator. In his turn, Nando invited his f ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Mushroom
A mushroom or toadstool is the fleshy, spore-bearing fruiting body of a fungus, typically produced above ground, on soil, or on its food source. ''Toadstool'' generally denotes one poisonous to humans. The standard for the name "mushroom" is the cultivated white button mushroom, '' Agaricus bisporus''; hence the word "mushroom" is most often applied to those fungi ( Basidiomycota, Agaricomycetes) that have a stem ( stipe), a cap ( pileus), and gills (lamellae, sing. lamella) on the underside of the cap. "Mushroom" also describes a variety of other gilled fungi, with or without stems, therefore the term is used to describe the fleshy fruiting bodies of some Ascomycota. These gills produce microscopic spores that help the fungus spread across the ground or its occupant surface. Forms deviating from the standard morphology usually have more specific names, such as " bolete", " puffball", " stinkhorn", and "morel", and gilled mushrooms themselves are often called " agarics" in ...
