Oyster Mushroom About Pleurotus ostreatus, the oyster mushroom, oyster fungus, or hiratake, is a common edible mushroom. It was first cultivated in Germany as a subsistence measure during World War I and is now grown commercially around the world for food. It is related to the similarly cultivated king oyster mushroom.

Galerina marginata, known colloquially as funeral bell, deadly skullcap, autumn skullcap or deadly galerina, is a species of extremely poisonous mushroom-forming fungus in the family Hymenogastraceae of the order Agaricales. It contains the same deadly amatoxins found in the death cap (Amanita phalloides). Ingestion in toxic amounts causes severe liver damage with vomiting, diarrhea, hypothermia, and eventual death if not treated rapidly. About ten poisonings have been attributed to the species now grouped as G. marginata over the last century.

Biggest Mushroom In the late 1980s, researchers discovered the biggest organism on record, a "humongous fungus" on Michigan's Upper Peninsula that covered 37 hectares, about the same size as the Mall of America in Bloomington, Minnesota. Now, the same team of scientists has found that this&nbsp;Armillaria gallica, which gives rise to honey mushrooms (above), is about four times as big—and twice as old—as they originally thought. Like other fungi,&nbsp;Armillaria&nbsp;sprouts tiny threads underground; but unlike most fungi, these threads fuse to form shoelace-size strings that extend great distances to consume dead or weak wood. To find out how big the massive underground network of fungus really was, the scientists took 245 far-flung string samples and analyzed their genes. Not only did they belong to the same individual fungus, but—based on how fast the underground strands grow—that fungus must be at least 2500 years old, they report in a non–peer-reviewed study posted last week to the bioRxiv preprint server. By sequencing the genomes of 15 evenly distributed samples, the researchers could also see how the honey mushroom's genome changed over time. To their surprise, it has a very slow mutation rate, with just 163 genetic changes among the genome's 100 million bases. Mutation rates often reflect how quickly an organism can evolve—and this fungus, it seems, doesn't evolve very fast. The researchers aren't sure how the mutations rate is kept in check, though a well-developed DNA mechanism or simply being underground and out of sunlight may do the trick. But even with its new size estimate, the Michigan fungus has already been eclipsed by a different&nbsp;Armillaria&nbsp;in Oregon, discovered in 1998. That one, now the largest organism in the world, may be more than 8000 years old and covers more than 770 hectares.

I got the idea of making this book from Mr. Demaio's new book: Mr. Demiao Presents: Record-Breaking Natural Disasters and when I tried to put a giant paragraph in my book Unicorn of Life. Search Mr. Demaio on Youtube, And yes... I and Simba are real, Unfortunately, I don't have rainbow hair. I hope you like this book.

Enoki Mushroom Flammulina filiformis is a species of agaric in the family Physalacriaceae. It is well known for its role in Japanese cuisine, where it is called enokitake and is widely cultivated in east Asia. Until recently, the species was considered to be conspecific with the European Flammulina velutipes, but distinct.&nbsp; Scientific name:&nbsp;Flammulina velutipes Flavors What does it taste like. Unlike popular Asian mushrooms like shiitake or king oyster, enoki mushroom has a rather&nbsp;mild, slightly fruity&nbsp;taste. What makes it stand out is its crunchy texture which is rare in the mushroom family (another example is wood ear mushroom).Mar 18, 2021 Season year-round Enoki mushrooms are available&nbsp;year-round. Smell The cap of Enoki mushroom has a surface yellowish brown or dark brown and sliminess and first lamella is white then light brown, it becomes globular shape next grow horizontal. The stem of Enoki mushroom is yellowish brown or blackish brown and have short hair. Their smell is like&nbsp;iron rust.Jul 31, 2010 Substrate Enoki mushrooms prefer a substrate&nbsp;predominantly made from hardwoods, such as oak or wood from fruiting trees (like Hackberry trees). Both hardwood chips and/or sawdust are perfectly suitable to use in your grow kit.
