Yellow Knight (fungus)
''Tricholoma equestre'' or ''Tricholoma flavovirens'', commonly known as the man on horseback or yellow knight, is a species of fungus of the genus ''Tricholoma'' that forms ectomycorrhiza with pine trees. It has been treasured as an edible mushroom worldwide and is especially abundant in France and Central Portugal. Although it is regarded as quite tasty, cases of poisoning from eating the species have been reported from Europe. Taxonomy ''Tricholoma equestre'' was known to Carl Linnaeus, who officially described it in Volume Two of his ''Species Plantarum'' in 1753, giving it the name ''Agaricus equestris'', predating a description of ''Agaricus flavovirens'' by Persoon in 1793. Thus this specific name meaning "of or pertaining to horses" in Latin takes precedence over ''Tricholoma flavovirens'', the other scientific name by which this mushroom has been known. It was placed in the genus ''Tricholoma'' by German Paul Kummer in his 1871 work ''Der Führer in die Pilzkunde''. Th ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Carl Linnaeus
Carl Linnaeus (23 May 1707 – 10 January 1778), also known after ennoblement in 1761 as Carl von Linné,#Blunt, Blunt (2004), p. 171. was a Swedish biologist and physician who formalised binomial nomenclature, the modern system of naming organisms. He is known as the "father of modern Taxonomy (biology), taxonomy". Many of his writings were in Latin; his name is rendered in Latin as and, after his 1761 ennoblement, as . Linnaeus was the son of a curate and was born in Råshult, in the countryside of Småland, southern Sweden. He received most of his higher education at Uppsala University and began giving lectures in botany there in 1730. He lived abroad between 1735 and 1738, where he studied and also published the first edition of his ' in the Netherlands. He then returned to Sweden where he became professor of medicine and botany at Uppsala. In the 1740s, he was sent on several journeys through Sweden to find and classify plants and animals. In the 1750s and 1760s, he co ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Rhabdomyolysis
Rhabdomyolysis (shortened as rhabdo) is a condition in which damaged skeletal muscle breaks down rapidly. Symptoms may include muscle pains, weakness, vomiting, and confusion. There may be tea-colored urine or an irregular heartbeat. Some of the muscle breakdown products, such as the protein myoglobin, are harmful to the kidneys and can cause acute kidney injury. The muscle damage is most usually caused by a crush injury, strenuous exercise, medications, or a substance use disorder. Other causes include infections, electrical injury, heat stroke, prolonged immobilization, lack of blood flow to a limb, or snake bites as well as intense or prolonged exercise, particularly in hot conditions. Statins (prescription drugs to lower cholesterol) are considered a small risk. Some people have inherited muscle conditions that increase the risk of rhabdomyolysis. The diagnosis is supported by a urine test strip which is positive for "blood" but the urine contains no red blood c ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Urine
Urine is a liquid by-product of metabolism in humans and many other animals. In placental mammals, urine flows from the Kidney (vertebrates), kidneys through the ureters to the urinary bladder and exits the urethra through the penile meatus (males) or urethral meatus of the vulva (females) during urination. In other vertebrates, urine is excreted through the cloaca. Urine contains water-soluble by-products of Cell (biology), cellular metabolism that are rich in nitrogen and must be clearance (medicine), cleared from the Circulatory system, bloodstream, such as urea, uric acid and creatinine. A urinalysis can detect nitrogenous wastes of the mammalian body. Urine plays an important role in the earth's nitrogen cycle. In balanced ecosystems, urine fertilizes the soil and thus helps plants to grow. Therefore, Reuse of excreta, urine can be used as a fertilizer. Some animals use it to territory (animal)#Scent marking, mark their territories. Historically, aged or fermented urine (kn ...

Suillus Bovinus
''Suillus bovinus'', also known as the Jersey cow mushroom or bovine bolete, is a pored mushroom of the genus ''Suillus'' in the family Suillaceae. A common fungus native to Europe and Asia, it has been introduced species, introduced to North America and Australia. It was initially described as ''Boletus bovinus'' by Carl Linnaeus in 1753, and given its current binomial name by Henri François Anne de Roussel in 1806. It is an edible mushroom, though not highly regarded. The fungus grows in coniferous forests in its native range, and pine plantations in countries where it has become Naturalisation (biology), naturalised. It forms symbiotic ectomycorrhizal associations with living trees by enveloping the tree's underground roots with sheaths of fungal tissue, and is sometimes parasitised by the related mushroom ''Gomphidius roseus''. ''Suillus bovinus'' produces spore-bearing basidiocarp, fruit bodies, often in large numbers, above ground. The mushroom has a convex grey-yellow o ...

Edible Mushroom
Edible mushrooms are the fleshy fruit bodies of numerous species of macrofungi (fungi that bear fruiting structures large enough to be seen with the naked eye). Edibility may be defined by criteria including the absence of poisonous effects on humans and desirable taste and aroma. Mushrooms that have a particularly desirable taste are described as "''choice''". Edible mushrooms are consumed for their nutritional and culinary value. Mushrooms, especially dried shiitake, are sources of umami flavor. To ensure safety, wild mushrooms must be correctly identified before their edibility can be assumed. Deadly poisonous mushrooms that are frequently confused with edible mushrooms include several species of the genus ''Amanita'', particularly '' A. phalloides'', the death cap. Some mushrooms that are edible for most people can cause allergic reactions in others; old or improperly stored specimens can go rancid and cause food poisoning. Additionally, mushrooms can absor ...

Floccularia Luteovirens
''Floccularia'' is a genus of fungi in the order Agaricales. There are four recognized species in the genus, which have a widespread distribution, especially in northern temperate regions. Two former species are now classified as a '' Cercopemyces'' and an ''Amanita'' (or more specifically an ''Aspidella'', Amanitaceae). ''Floccularia'' was circumscribed by Czech mycologist Zdeněk Pouzar in 1957. ''Floccularia albolanaripes'' and ''F. luteovirens'' are known to be edible.

Floccularia Albolanaripes
''Floccularia albolanaripes'' is a species of fungus in the family Agaricaceae. Mushrooms are characterized by their yellow caps with a brownish center and scales over the margin, and the conspicuous remains of a partial veil that is left on the stipe. The species grows in the Pacific Northwest and the Rocky Mountains of North America, and in India. It is edible. Taxonomy The species was first described as ''Armillaria albolanaripes'' by American mycologist George F. Atkinson in 1908. The type specimens were collected from Corvallis, Oregon, on November 6, 1906. It was known as an ''Armillaria'' for several decades until members of that genus with amyloid spores and lacking black rhizomorphs were transferred to '' Floccularia'' in 1987. Description The cap is convex to flattened (sometimes with a shallow umbo), measuring in diameter. Its color is bright-yellow to orange-yellow and then later brownish, and it has flattened brownish scales over the center. The whitish cap ...

Tricholoma Sulphureum
''Tricholoma sulphureum'', also known as the stinker, sulphur knight or gas agaric, is a species of fungus. The mushroom has a distinctive bright yellow colour and an unusual smell likened to coal gas. It occurs in deciduous woodlands in Europe from spring to autumn. It is inedible or mildly poisonous. Taxonomy ''Tricholoma sulphureum'' was first described in 1784 by the French botanist Pierre Bulliard and given the name ''Agaricus sulphureus'', before being placed in the genus ''Tricholoma'' by German mycologist Paul Kummer in 1871. The specific epithet ''sulfǔrěus'' derived from the Latin 'of or pertaining to sulfur'. It belongs to a complex of similar foul-smelling species such as the very similar '' T. inamoenum''. Another related species, ''T. bufonium'', may be an intraspecific variant. Description The mushroom is sulphur yellow in colour. It has a convex cap, sometimes brownish near the center with a vague umbo up to across. The gills are adnexed or notche ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Tricholoma Sejunctum
''Tricholoma sejunctum'' (colloquially yellow blusher in the eastern regions of North America) is a mushroom that appears across much of the Northern Hemisphere and is associated with pine forests. Description The cap is wide, greenish-brownish yellow, and slightly moist; it has dark fibrils near the center. The gills and stipe are whitish-yellow, the latter growing up to long. The odor is mild to mealy and the taste mild to unpleasant. Similar species ''Tricholoma flavovirens'' is usually larger and fleshier, with more solid yellow gills and stipe and a less fibrillose cap. Other similar species include '' Tricholoma arvernense'', and ''T. viridilutescens''. Distribution and habitat In North America, it appears on the Northwest coast and in the east. Edibility There is some confusion as to the certain identification of the species, so it is considered unsafe for eating. While classified as inedible by some field guides, it seems to have been traditionally consum ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
