Isognomon Australica
(For the tree oyster mushroom, see ''Pleurotus ostreatus''.) ''Isognomon'' is a genus of marine bivalve mollusks which is related to the pearl oysters. ''Isognomon'' is known in the fossil record from the Permian period to the Quaternary period (age range: 254.0 to 0.012 million years ago). Fossils of species within this genus have been found all over the world. Taxonomy This genus is placed in the family Isognomonidae. However previous molecular phylogeny studies have shown that these tree oysters belong in the family Pteriidae. Description These oysters grow to be about in overall length, producing a highly irregular shell with a blue-gray and often heavily encrusted exterior but a smooth and pearly white interior. They use their byssus to completely immobilize themselves to the roots of mangrove tree A mangrove is a shrub or tree that grows in coastal saline water, saline or brackish water. The term is also used for tropical coastal vegetation consisting of such spec ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Pleurotus Ostreatus
''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. Oyster mushrooms can also be used industrially for mycoremediation purposes. The oyster mushroom is one of the more commonly sought wild mushrooms, though it can also be cultivated on straw and other media. It has the bittersweet aroma of benzaldehyde (which is also characteristic of bitter almonds). Name Both the Latin and common names refer to the shape of the fruiting body. The Latin ''pleurotus'' (side-ear) refers to the sideways growth of the stem with respect to the cap, while the Latin ''ostreatus'' (and the English common name, oyster) refers to the shape of the cap which resembles the bivalve of the same name. The reference to ''oyster'' may also derive from the slipp ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Isognomon Radiatus
''Isognomon radiatus'', the radial purse oyster or Lister's tree oyster, is a species of bivalve mollusc in the family Isognomonidae. It can be found along the Atlantic coast of North America, ranging from southern Florida to Brazil and Bermuda. Description Lister's tree oyster is an irregular, fan-shaped shell growing to about long. Each valve is a pale brown colour with whitish rays radiating from the umbo, the raised hump that is the first part of the shell to form when the animal is a juvenile. There are numerous sculptured concentric rings on the outside surface. It is attached to a hard substrate by byssus threads and often occurs in clusters. Distribution and habitat Lister's tree oyster occurs in southern Florida, the Caribbean Sea and Gulf of Mexico, Bermuda, the West Indies, the Cayman Islands and Brazil. It grows, sometimes in dense patches, on the roots of mangroves and on shallow rocky areas, down to a depth of about . On coral reefs it occurs on rock ledges and ex ...
