Leucocoprinus Fragilissimus
''Leucocoprinus fragilissimus'', commonly known as the fragile dapperling, is a species of gilled mushroom in the family Agaricaceae. Taxonomy As with many of the most well known ''Leucocoprinus'' species the taxonomic history of this species is complex with numerous early mycologists classifying it independently before the species were later merged. As a result the authorities recognised today aren't necessarily the first to document this species but rather the first to document the basionym which ultimately ended up classified as ''Leucocoprinus fragilissimus.'' The first description of this species was made in 1805 by Johannes Baptista von Albertini and Lewis David de Schweinitz who classified it as ''Agaricus flammula.'' This basionym was reclassified as ''Lepiota flammula'' in 1874 by the French botanist Claude Casimir Gillet and then ''Pholiota flammula'' in 1912 by the Italian mycologist Vincenzo Migliozzi. In 1853 ''Hiatula fragilissima'' was described by the British b ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Henry William Ravenel
Henry William Ravenel (May 19, 1814 – July 17, 1887) was an American planter and botanist. He studied fungi and cryptogams in South Carolina, discovering a large number of new species. The genus '' Ravenelia'' is named after him, along with many of the species he discovered. Biography Early life Henry William Ravenel was born on May 19, 1814 on the Pooshee Plantation in Berkeley County, South Carolina. The plantation had been in his family since before 1716. It now lies beneath the waters of Lake Moultrie, which was created in 1939. The nearest existing place is Bonneau. He attended the nearby Pineville Academy and graduated in 1832 from South Carolina College, now the University of South Carolina, where he was a member of the Clariosophic Society. Career He inherited the Pooshee Plantation from his father, and was a slave owner. He was also a regular diarist, and recorded his beliefs that former slaves should be regulated. He wrote in September 1865 "There must ... be str ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Leucocoprinus
''Leucocoprinus'' is a genus of fungi in the family Agaricaceae. Its best-known member is the distinctive yellow mushroom '' Leucocoprinus birnbaumii'', which is found in plant pots and greenhouses worldwide. The type species is '' Leucocoprinus cepistipes''. The genus has a widespread distribution and contains over 80 recognised species, however many of these species are very scarcely recorded and little known with only a small number of ''Leucocoprinus'' species which are commonly observed. The majority of the species in this genus are exclusive to tropical environments however numerous species have become a common sight in plant pots and greenhouses resulting in them becoming well known worldwide. It is likely that some of the observations for these common species are misidentified with observations for ''L. birnbaumii'' in particular often being conflated with other species simply because it is better known or more frequently suggested by image recognition algorithms.

Leucocoprinus Magnicystidiosus
''Leucocoprinus magnicystidiosus'' is a species of mushroom-producing fungus in the family Agaricaceae. Taxonomy It was first described in 1982 by the mycologists Helen Vandervort Smith and Nancy S. Weber who classified it as ''Leucocoprinus magnicystidiosus.'' The specimens studied and documented were collected by Ervin Hillhouse in 1971. Description ''Leucocoprinus magnicystidiosus'' is a dapperling mushroom with extremely fragile white flesh. Cap: 4–8cm wide when mature. Up to 1.3cm wide and 3.2cm high when young. Starts bulbous and expands to conical or campanulate (bell shaped) before flattening or becoming concave with the cap edges lifting upwards. The surface is bright lemon yellow with a brown centre when young. The cap edges have striate or plicate striations which extend nearly to the centre, the striations remain bright yellow whilst the grooves between them are white. The cap is very fragile at all stages of growth and easily sticks to the fingers and tears ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Tanbark
Tanbark is the bark of certain species of trees, traditionally used for tanning hides into leather. The words "tannin", "tanning", "tan," and " tawny" are derived from the Medieval Latin ''tannare'', "to convert into leather." Bark mills are horse- or oxen-driven or water-powered edge mills and were used in earlier times to shred the tanbark to derive tannins for the leather industry. A "barker" was a person who stripped bark from trees to supply bark mills. Tanbark around the world In Europe, oak is a common source of tanbark. Quercitannic acid is the chief constituent found in oak barks. The bark is taken from young branches and twigs in oak coppices and can be up to 4 mm thick; it is grayish-brown on the outside and brownish-red on the inner surface. In some areas of the United States, such as northern California, "mulch" is often called tanbark, even by manufacturers and distributors. In these areas, the word "mulch" may refer to peat moss or to very fine tanbark. I ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Humus
In classical soil science, humus is the dark organic matter in soil that is formed by the decomposition of plant and animal matter. It is a kind of soil organic matter. It is rich in nutrients and retains moisture in the soil. Humus is the Latin word for "earth" or "ground". In agriculture, "humus" sometimes also is used to describe mature or natural compost extracted from a woodland or other spontaneous source for use as a soil conditioner. It is also used to describe a topsoil horizon that contains organic matter (''humus type'', ''humus form'', or ''humus profile''). Humus has many nutrients that improve the health of soil, nitrogen being the most important. The ratio of carbon to nitrogen (C:N) of humus commonly ranges between eight and fifteen with the median being about twelve. It also significantly affects the bulk density of soil. Humus is amorphous and lacks the "cellular cake structure characteristic of plants, micro-organisms or animals". Description The primary ...

Saprotroph
Saprotrophic nutrition or lysotrophic nutrition is a process of chemoheterotrophic extracellular digestion involved in the processing of decayed (dead or waste) organic matter. It occurs in saprotrophs, and is most often associated with fungi (for example ''Mucor'') and soil bacteria. Saprotrophic microscopic fungi are sometimes called saprobes; saprotrophic plants or bacterial flora are called saprophytes ( sapro- 'rotten material' + -phyte 'plant'), although it is now believed that all plants previously thought to be saprotrophic are in fact parasites of microscopic fungi or other plants. The process is most often facilitated through the active transport of such materials through endocytosis within the internal mycelium and its constituent hyphae. states the purpose of saprotrophs and their internal nutrition, as well as the main two types of fungi that are most often referred to, as well as describes, visually, the process of saprotrophic nutrition through a diagram of hyph ...
