Inocybe Bongardii
''Inosperma bongardii'' is an agaric fungus in the family Inocybaceae. It was originally described as a species of ''Agaricus'' by German botanist Johann Anton Weinmann in 1836. Lucien Quélet transferred it to the genus ''Inocybe'' in 1872. A 2019 multigene phylogenetic study by Matheny and colleagues found that ''I. bongardii'' and its relatives in the subgenus ''Inosperma'' were only distantly related to the other members of the genus ''Inocybe''. ''Inosperma'' was raised to genus rank and the species became ''Inosperma bongardii''. It is a common species with a widespread distribution. Fruit bodies grow on the ground, often in clay soils, and typically with broadleaf trees. The fruit bodies are suspected to be toxic, as they contain muscarine Muscarine, L-(+)-muscarine, or muscarin is a natural product found in certain mushrooms, particularly in ''Inocybe'' and ''Clitocybe'' species, such as the deadly '' C. dealbata''. Mushrooms in the genera ''Entoloma'' and ''My ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Johann Anton Weinmann
Johann Anton Weinmann (russian: Иван Андреевич Вейнман; 23 December 1782, Würzburg - 5 August 1858, Pavlovsk) was a German botanist who served as Inspector of the Gardens in Saint Petersburg, Russia. He published a ''Flora'' that is the basis of some binomial species identifications. Beginning in 1803, he was head gardener of the newly established botanical garden in Dorpat; from 1823 he served as inspector of the garden of Empress Maria Fyodorovna in Pavlovsk near St. Petersburg. He also studied fungi (being, for instance, the original author for the name ''Echinoderma acutesquamosum'') and his name is commemorated with the mycological genera '' Weinmannioscyphus'' and '' Weinmannodora'', the latter genus being circumscribed by Elias Magnus Fries in 1849. Published works * ''Der botanische Garten der Kaiserlichen Universität zu Dorpat im Jahre 1810''. 1810 - The botanical garden of the Imperial University of Dorpat The University of Tartu (UT; et ...

Mushroom Poisoning
Mushroom poisoning is poisoning resulting from the ingestion of mushrooms that contain toxic substances. Its symptoms can vary from slight 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 toxic mushroom as an edible species. The most common reason for this misidentification is a close resemblance in terms of color and general 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. Signs and symptoms Poisonous mushrooms contain a variety of different toxins that can differ markedly in toxicity. Symptoms of mushroom poisoning may vary from gastric upset t ...

Fungi Of Europe
A fungus (plural, : fungi or funguses) is any member of the group of Eukaryote, eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeasts and Mold (fungus), molds, as well as the more familiar mushrooms. These organisms are classified as a Kingdom (biology), kingdom, separately from the other eukaryotic kingdoms, which by one traditional classification include Plantae, Animalia, Protozoa, and Chromista. A characteristic that places fungi in a different kingdom from plants, bacteria, and some protists is chitin in their cell walls. Fungi, like animals, are heterotrophs; they acquire their food by absorbing dissolved molecules, typically by secreting digestive enzymes into their environment. Fungi do not photosynthesize. Growth is their means of motility, mobility, except for spores (a few of which are flagellated), which may travel through the air or water. Fungi are the principal decomposers in ecological systems. These and other differences place fungi in a single gro ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
