Pine Mushroom
''Tricholoma magnivelare'', commonly known as the matsutake, white matsutake, ponderosa mushroom, pine mushroom, or American matsutake, is a gilled mushroom found East of the Rocky Mountains in North America growing in coniferous woodland. These ectomycorrhizal fungi are typically edible species that exist in a symbiotic relationship with various species of pine, commonly jack pine. They belong to the genus ''Tricholoma'', which includes the closely related East Asian songi or matsutake as well as the Western matsutake ('' T. murrillianum'') and Meso-American matsutake ('' T. mesoamericanum''). Taxonomy Until recently, the name ''Tricholoma magnivelare'' described all matsutake mushrooms found in North America. Since the early 2000s, molecular data has indicated the presence of separate species in the prior group, with only those found in the Eastern United States and Canada retaining the name ''T. magnivelare''.

Charles Horton Peck
Charles Horton Peck (March 30, 1833 – July 11, 1917) was an American mycologist of the 19th and early 20th centuries. He was the New York State Botanist from 1867 to 1915, a period in which he described over 2,700 species of North American fungi. Biography Charles Horton Peck was born on March 30, 1833, in the northeastern part of the town Sand Lake, New York, now called Averill Park. After suffering a light stroke early in November 1912 and then a severe stroke in 1913, he died at his house in Menands, New York, on July 11, 1917. lamellae. In 1794, Eleazer Peck (his great grandfather) moved from Farmington, Connecticut to Sand Lake, attracted by oak timber that was manufactured for the Albany market. Later on, Pamelia Horton Peck married Joel B., both from English descent, and became Charles Peck's parents. Even though his family was rich and locally prominent, his education was provincial.

Amanita
The genus ''Amanita'' contains about 600 species of agarics, including some of the most toxic known mushrooms found worldwide, as well as some well-regarded Edible mushroom, edible species (and many species of unknown edibility). The genus is responsible for approximately 95% of fatalities resulting from mushroom poisoning, with the death cap accounting for about 50% on its own. The most potent toxin present in these mushrooms is . The genus also contains many edible mushrooms, but mycologists discourage mushroom hunters, other than experts, from selecting any of these for human consumption. Nonetheless, in some cultures, the larger local edible species of ''Amanita'' are mainstays of the markets in the local growing season. Samples of this are ''Amanita zambiana'' and other fleshy species in central Africa, ''Amanita basii, A. basii'' and similar species in Mexico, ''Amanita caesarea, A. caesarea'' and the "Blusher" ''Amanita rubescens, A. rubescens'' in Europe, a ...

Mushroom Poisoning
Mushroom poisoning is poisoning resulting from the ingestion of mushrooms that contain toxicity, toxic substances. Signs and symptoms, Symptoms can vary from slight Gastrointestinal tract, gastrointestinal discomfort to death in about 10 days. Mushroom toxins are secondary metabolites produced by the fungus. Mushroom poisoning is usually the result of ingestion of wild mushrooms after misidentification of a Mycotoxin, toxic mushroom as an edible species. The most common reason for this misidentification is a close resemblance in terms of color and general Morphology (biology), morphology of the toxic mushrooms species with edible species. To prevent mushroom poisoning, mushroom gatherers familiarize themselves with the mushrooms they intend to collect, as well as with any similar-looking toxic species. The safety of eating wild mushrooms may depend on methods of preparation for cooking. Some toxins, such as amatoxins, are Thermostability, thermostable and mushrooms containing such ...

Mushroom Hunting
Mushroom hunting, mushrooming, mushroom picking, mushroom foraging, and similar terms describe the activity of gathering mushrooms in the wild. This is typically done for culinary purposes, although medicinal and psychotropic uses are also known. Expert analysis is required to distinguish between useful and poisonous species. The practice is popular throughout most of Eurasia and Australia, as well as in temperate regions of North America. Seasons Mushrooms generally begin to fruit when it is both warm and moist in their region. In the North American Pacific Northwest, species shortly occur from spring to summer, but are most common in autumn. In the Southwestern United States, mushrooms can be found during the winter rains and spring. In the Midwest and Northeast U.S., they can be found from late April until the frosts of autumn. In the Colorado Rockies, they are best collected in July and August. They can be found through winter on the Gulf Coast. Location Particular ...

Amanita Smithiana
''Amanita smithiana'', also known as Smith's amanita, is a species of agaric found on soil in coniferous (''Abies'', ''Tsuga'', ''Pseudotsuga'') and broadleaved (''Alnus'', ''Quercus'') woodland in the Pacific Northwest of North America. It fruits in August and September. Description The cap has a diameter of and is white and scaled with remnants of the universal veil. The stipe is long by thick, white and similarly scaled, with a ring. The spores are ellipsoid to elongated, amyloid, and measure 11–12.5 by 7–8 μm. Taxonomy ''Amanita smithiana'' was described by Dutch mycologist Cornelis Bas in 1969. The specific epithet honors mycologist Alexander H. Smith, who collected the type specimens from Washington in 1941. It belongs in the subgenus ''Lepidella''. Toxicity It is responsible for poisonings in the Pacific Northwest when mistaken for the edible and sought after ''Tricholoma murrillianum'' (matsutake). It causes initial gastrointestinal symptoms that ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] [Amazon] |
Russula Brevipes
''Russula brevipes'' is a species of mushroom commonly known as the short-stemmed russula or the stubby brittlegill. The fruit bodies are white and large, with convex to funnel-shaped caps measuring wide set atop a thick stipe up to long. The gills on the cap underside are closely spaced and sometimes have a faint bluish tint. The spores are roughly spherical and have a network-like surface dotted with warts. Forms of the mushroom that develop a bluish band at the top of the stipe are sometimes referred to as variety ''acrior''. Fruiting from summer to autumn, the mushrooms often develop under masses of leaves or conifer needles in a mycorrhizal association with trees from several genera, including fir, spruce, Douglas-fir, and hemlock. It is widespread in North America, and was reported from Pakistan in 2006. Although edible, the mushrooms have a bland or bitter flavor. They become more palatable once parasitized by the ascomycete fungus ''Hypomyces lactifluorum'', a br ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] [Amazon] |
Catathelasma Imperiale
''Catathelasma imperiale'', also known as ''Catathelasma imperialis'', and commonly known as the imperial mushroom, Hutsul mushroom, or korban, is a species of agaric (gilled mushroom) in the family Biannulariaceae. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are stocky, with a double annulus (mycology), annulus (ring), and a tapering to rooting stipe (mycology), stipe (stem). The species is ectomycorrhizal with conifers and is found in continental Europe and Asia. Reports from North America are unconfirmed and may refer to ''Catathelasma evanescens'' or similar species. The fruit bodies are edible and collected for food in China and elsewhere. The species is widespread but uncommon and is assessed as globally "near threatened" on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species. Taxonomy ''Catathelasma imperiale'' was first described from Sweden in 1845 by Norwegian botanist Nicolai Lund as ''Agaricus imperialis'', but this name is Nomen illegitimum, illegitimate since two earlier (and different) fungi ...

Tricholoma Vernaticum
''Tricholoma vernaticum'' is an agaric fungus of the genus ''Tricholoma''. It was originally described in 1976 as a species of ''Armillaria'' when that genus was more inclusive; it received its current name twenty years later. The stout fruit bodies (mushrooms) have moist white to grayish caps (later becoming grayish-brown with age), a membranous ring on the stipe, and an odor resembling cucumbers. The species is native to the Pacific Northwest region of the United States. Mycorrhizal with conifers, it fruits in the spring or early summer, appearing on the ground singly or in groups at high elevations, often at the edge of melting snowbanks. The edibility of the mushroom is unknown, but it has an unpleasant odor and a mealy taste. Taxonomy The species was originally described from California as ''Armillaria olida'' by mycologists Harry D. Thiers and Walter Sundberg in 1976. The type specimen was collected on May 6, 1972, in the Crystal Basin Recreation Area in El Dorado Cou ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] [Amazon] |
Tricholoma Caligatum
''Tricholoma caligatum'' is a mushroom of the agaric genus ''Tricholoma''. It is a large species with a distinct sheathing ring on the stem, found in mycorrhizal association with various trees throughout the Mediterranean. It is edible and sometimes referred to as the European Matsutake due to allegedly tasting like the true matsutake (''T. matsutake''), prized in Japan, but it is often bitter. Taxonomy ''Tricholoma caligatum'' was originally described in 1834 as "''Agaricus caligatus''" and was transferred to genus ''Tricholoma'' in 1914. Considerable controversy exists regarding the application of this name to Central European and North American collections, which likely represent different species. The name ''caligatum'' (Latin: 'boot-wearing') refers to the appearance of the mushroom, which looks like it is wearing a boot due to the presence of dark fibrils on the lower portion of the stem.
