Verpa
''Verpa'' is a genus of ascomycete fungi related to the morels. Resembling the latter genus in edibility and form, the common name early morels is popular. There are five species in the widespread genus. ''Verpa'' comes from the Latin for ''erection'' or ''little rod'' (also a vulgarity for phallus). Edibility of ''Verpa'' is the same as for ''Morchella'', and are safe if cooked. ''Gyromitra'', by contrast has a couple of dangerously toxic species being Gyromitra esculenta and Gyromitra ambigua. Analysis of the ribosomal DNA of many of the Pezizales showed the genus ''Verpa'' to be closely related to the genus ''Morchella'', and also ''Disciotis''. Thus the three genera are now included in the family Morchellaceae. Species Species include: *''Verpa bohemica'' - early morel. : Edible if cooked. Found in North America, in early spring, April–May in damp places, under poplar *''Verpa conica'' - bell or conic morel. : Edible if cooked. Found in North America, in orcha ...

Verpa Bohemica
''Verpa bohemica'' is a species of fungus in the family Morchellaceae. Commonly known as the early morel or the wrinkled thimble-cap. The mushroom has a pale yellow or brown thimble-shaped cap— in diameter by long—that has a surface wrinkled and ribbed with brain-like convolutions. The cap hangs from the top of a lighter-colored, brittle stem that measures up to long by thick. Microscopically, the mushroom is distinguished by its large spores, typically 60–80 by 15–18 µm, and the presence of only two spores per ascus. In the field, the mushroom is reliably distinguished from the true morels on the basis of cap attachment: ''V. bohemica'' has a cap that hangs completely free from the stem. Although widely considered edible, some attention should be paid to the correct preparation. Consumption of the mushroom, not correctly prepared lead to reports of poisoning in susceptible individuals. Poisoning symptoms include gastrointestinal upset and lack of muscular ...

Verpa Conica
''Verpa conica'', commonly known as the bell morel or the early morel, is a species of fungi in the family Morchellaceae. Sometimes mistaken for a true morel (genus ''Morchella''), this species is an “early morel” characterized by a cap resembling a thimble that is freely attached to the stem. Taxonomy The species was first described under the name ''Phallus conicus'' by Otto Friedrich Müller in 1775. Later authors have moved the taxon to various genera: Persoon placed in ''Leotia'' in 1801, Samuel Frederick Gray transferred it ''Relhanum'' in 1821, while Otto Kuntze moved it to ''Monka'' in 1898. The species was transferred to ''Verpa'' by Olof Swartz in 1814. Description Fruiting bodies have a smooth cap that is bell-shaped or conical, and tall and broad; it is attached to the top of the stem only, the margin of the cap is free – hanging like a skirt. The underside of the cap is tan to dark brown in color. The stem, which measures by thick, is whitish and either ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Morchella
''Morchella'', the true morels, is a genus of edible ascomycota, sac fungi closely related to anatomically simpler Cup fungus, cup fungi in the order Pezizales (division (mycology), division Ascomycota). These distinctive fungi have a honeycomb appearance due to the network of ridges with pits composing their cap (mycology), caps. Morels are prized by gourmet cooks, particularly in Catalan cuisine, Catalan and French cuisine. Due to difficulties in Fungiculture, cultivation, commercial harvesting of wild morels has become a multimillion-dollar industry in the temperate Northern Hemisphere, in particular North America, Turkey, China, the Himalayas, India, and Pakistan where these highly prized fungi are found in abundance. Typified by ''Morchella esculenta'' in 1794, the genus has been the source of considerable taxonomy (biology), taxonomical controversy throughout the years, mostly with regard to the number of species involved, with some mycologists recognising as few as three ...

Morchellaceae
The Morchellaceae are a family of ascomycete fungi in the order Pezizales. According to a standard reference work, the family has contained at least 49 species distributed among four genera. However, in 2012, five genera that produce ascoma that are sequestrate and hypogeous were added. The best-known members are the highly regarded and commercially picked true morels of the genus ''Morchella'', the thimble morels of the genus ''Verpa'', and a genus of cup-shaped fungi ''Disciotis''. The remaining four genera produce the sequestrate fruit bodies. Analysis of the ribosomal DNA of many of the Pezizales showed the three genera ''Verpa'', ''Morchella'', and ''Disciotis'' to be closely related. Thus they are now included in the family Morchellaceae. Genera ''Costantinella'' (anamorph) ''Disciotis'' (terrestrial) ''Morchella'' (terrestrial) ''Verpa'' (terrestrial) ''Kalapuya'' (hypogeous) ''Imaia'' (hypogeous) ''Leucangium'' (hypogeous) ''Fischerula'' (hypogeous) Description Other ...

Gyromitra Esculenta
''Gyromitra esculenta'' is an ascomycete fungus from the genus ''Gyromitra'', widely distributed across Europe and North America. It normally fruits in sandy soils under coniferous trees in spring and early summer. The fruiting body, or mushroom, is an irregular brain-shaped cap dark brown in colour that can reach high and wide, perched on a stout white stipe up to high. Although potentially fatal if eaten raw, ''Gyromitra esculenta'' is a popular delicacy in Scandinavia, Eastern Europe, and the upper Great Lakes region of North America. Although popular in some districts of the eastern Pyrenees, it is prohibited from sale to the public in Spain. It may be sold fresh in Finland, but it must be accompanied by warnings and instructions on correct preparation. Although it is still commonly parboiled before preparation, evidence suggests that even this procedure may not make ''Gyromitra esculenta'' entirely safe for consumption. When consumed, the principal active agent, gy ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Disciotis
''Disciotis'' is a genus of fungi in the family Morchellaceae. Members of this family, characterized by their cup- or bowl-shaped apothecia, have a widespread distribution, especially in northern temperate regions. Description ''Disciotis'' has a cupulate (cup-shaped) pileus with vein-like hymenial folds and a small to non-existent stipe. Species The type species is ''Disciotis venosa'', originally described as ''Peziza venosa'' by Christian Hendrik Persoon in 1801. Other species described in the genus include: *''Disciotis ferruginascens'' Boud. *''Disciotis maturescens'' Boud. (1891) *''Disciotis rufescens'' R. Heim (1934) It has been suggested that these species (and variants not listed above) all represent a single, morphologically variable species.Korf RP. (1972).

Erection
An erection (clinically: penile erection or penile tumescence) is a physiological phenomenon in which the penis becomes firm, engorged, and enlarged. Penile erection is the result of a complex interaction of psychological, neural, vascular, and endocrine factors, and is often associated with sexual arousal or sexual attraction, although erections can also be spontaneous. The shape, angle, and direction of an erection varies considerably between humans. Physiologically, an erection is required for a male to effect vaginal penetration or sexual intercourse and is triggered by the parasympathetic division of the autonomic nervous system, causing the levels of nitric oxide (a vasodilator) to rise in the trabecular arteries and smooth muscle of the penis. The arteries dilate causing the corpora cavernosa of the penis (and to a lesser extent the corpus spongiosum) to fill with blood; simultaneously the ischiocavernosus and bulbospongiosus muscles compress the veins of the ...
