Coriolus Versicolor
''Trametes versicolor''also known as ''Coriolus versicolor'' and ''Polyporus versicolor''is a common polypore mushroom found throughout the world. Meaning 'of several colors', ''versicolor'' reliably describes this fungus that displays a variety of colors. For example, because its shape and multiple colors are similar to those of a wild turkey, ''T. versicolor'' is commonly called turkey tail. A similar looking mushroom, commonly called false turkey tail, which is from a different order, may sometimes be confused with the turkey tail mushroom due to appearance. Another lookalike is the multicolor gill polypore. Description and ecology The top surface of the cap shows typical concentric zones of different colors, and the margin is always the lightest. Underneath a layer of tomentum is a black layer, topping the whitish flesh. The flesh itself is 1–3 mm thick and has a leathery texture. Older specimens, such as the one pictured, can have zones with green algae growi ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Carl Linnaeus
Carl Linnaeus (; 23 May 1707 – 10 January 1778), also known after his ennoblement in 1761 as Carl von Linné Blunt (2004), p. 171. (), was a Swedish botanist, zoologist, taxonomist, and physician who formalised binomial nomenclature, the modern system of naming organisms. He is known as the "father of modern taxonomy". Many of his writings were in Latin; his name is rendered in Latin as and, after his 1761 ennoblement, as . Linnaeus was born in Råshult, the countryside of Småland, in 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 continued to collect an ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Basic Research
Basic research, also called pure research or fundamental research, is a type of scientific research with the aim of improving scientific theories for better understanding and prediction of natural or other phenomena. In contrast, applied research uses scientific theories to develop technology or techniques which can be used to intervene and ''alter'' natural or other phenomena.

Polysaccharide
Polysaccharides (), or polycarbohydrates, are the most abundant carbohydrates found in food. They are long chain polymeric carbohydrates composed of monosaccharide units bound together by glycosidic linkages. This carbohydrate can react with water (hydrolysis) using amylase enzymes as catalyst, which produces constituent sugars (monosaccharides, or oligosaccharides). They range in structure from linear to highly branched. Examples include storage polysaccharides such as starch, glycogen and galactogen and structural polysaccharides such as cellulose and chitin. Polysaccharides are often quite heterogeneous, containing slight modifications of the repeating unit. Depending on the structure, these macromolecules can have distinct properties from their monosaccharide building blocks. They may be amorphous or even insoluble in water. When all the monosaccharides in a polysaccharide are the same type, the polysaccharide is called a homopolysaccharide or homoglycan, but when more t ...

Trichaptum
''Trichaptum'' is a genus of polypore, poroid fungi. The genus was circumscription (taxonomy), circumscribed by American mycologist William Alphonso Murrill in 1904. Formerly classified in the family Polyporaceae, several molecular phylogenetics, molecular studies have shown that the genus belongs to the order Hymenochaetales.

Stereum
''Stereum'' is the type genus of the Stereaceae family of fungi, in the Russulales order. Until recently, the genus was classified in the Corticiaceae family, of the Corticiales order. However, it was given its own family as a result of the split-up of the Corticiales. Common names for species of this genus include leaf fungus, wax fungus, and shelf fungus. Fungi having a shape similar to a ''Stereum'' are said to have a stereoid shape. ''Stereum'' contains 27 species that have a widespread distribution. Habitat ''Stereum'' species are found to live on all kinds of deadwood or hardwood or dead leaves (they are therefore said to be saprobic). Sometimes they are also found on living leaves. Characteristics ''Stereum'' species are wood decay fungi. Their simple, shelving fruiting bodies have a smooth hymenium, lacking gills or tubes. Like most members or the family Stereaceae, ''Stereum'' fruiting bodies lack clamp connections and produce amyloid basidiospores. The species can be ...

Stereum Hirsutum
''Stereum hirsutum'', also called false turkey tail and hairy curtain crust, is a fungus typically forming multiple brackets on dead wood. It is also a plant pathogen infecting peach trees.

Cerrena Unicolor
''Cerrena unicolor'', commonly known as the mossy maze polypore, is a species of poroid fungus in the genus '' Cerrena'' (Family: Polyporaceae). This saprobic fungus causes white rot. Taxonomy The fungus was originally described by French botanist Jean Bulliard in 1785 as ''Boletus unicolor'', when all pored fungi were typically assigned to genus ''Boletus''. William Alphonso Murrill transferred it to '' Cerrena'' in 1903. The fungus has acquired a long and extensive synonymy as it has been re-described under many different names, and been transferred to many polypore genera. Description ''Cerrena unicolor'' has fruit bodies that are semicircular, wavy brackets up to 10 centimeters (4 in) wide. Attached to the growing surface without a stalk (sessile), the upper surface is finely hairy, white to grayish brown in color, and in zonate—marked with zones or concentric bands of color. The surface is often green from algal growth. The pore surface is whitish in young sp ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Bjerkandera Adusta
''Bjerkandera adusta'', commonly known as the smoky polypore or smoky bracket, is a species of fungus in the family Meruliaceae. It is a plant pathogen that causes Wood-decay fungus#White rot, white rot in live trees, but most commonly appears on dead wood. It was first species description, described scientifically as ''Boletus adustus'' by Carl Ludwig Willdenow in 1787. The Whole genome sequencing, genome sequence of ''Bjerkandera adusta'' was reported in 2013. The species is inedible. Description The fungus grows in shelflike fruit bodies which often overlap. The caps are tomentose to hairy and buff in colour. The species is often found on decaying wood. ''Bjerkandera fumosa'' is similar; its flesh has a dark line near the base of the tubes. Some members of the genera ''Stereum'' and ''Trametes'' are similar as well. Chemistry Because ''Bjerkandera adusta'' produces enzymes that can degrade polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, such as those used in synthetic textile dyeing, dy ...

Trametes Hirsuta
''Trametes hirsuta'', commonly known as hairy bracket, is a fungal plant pathogen. It is found on dead wood of deciduous trees, especially beechwood. It is found all year round and persists due to its leathery nature.Phillips, Roger (2006), Mushrooms. Pub. McMilan, . P. 317. The cap is whitish gray, with short hairs, sometimes yellowish and tomentose at the edge, and with subtle zoning. The flesh is tough with a soft gray upper layer and a whitish lower layer, separated by a black plane. Similar species include '' T. pubescens'', which is unzoned, buff in colour, and without layered flesh. '' T. versicolor'' is more distinctively zoned.
