Poodří Protected Landscape Area
Poodří Protected Landscape Area () is a Protected areas of the Czech Republic, protected landscape area in the Moravian-Silesian Region of the Czech Republic. It was declared on 1 May 1991. Geography The protected landscape area aims to preserve the harmoniously shaped landscape of the floodplain of the Oder River and its tributaries, with natural processes of the riverine ecosystem, characterized by a mosaic of meadow alluvial vegetation, floodplain forest stands, a significant presence of non-forest tree species, old river arms, permanent and periodic ponds, springs on river terrace slopes, and ponds with a diverse flora and fauna. It serves as an important stopover for migratory waterbirds and has natural landscape values based on the preserved dynamics of natural river processes of meandering streams and surface flooding regimes. The protection also includes wetland communities and associated rare and specially protected plant and animal species, the distribution and urban ...

Hottonia Palustris
''Hottonia palustris'', also water violet or featherfoil, is an aquatic plant in the family Primulaceae. Description The plant has a stem reaching up to in height. Its basal roots are buried in the underlying mud, while other silvery, shiny roots dangle freely in the water. The leaves are deeply divided as far as the central vein, like the teeth of a double comb, and are completely submerged, but can surface after a drastic fall in water level. The leaves are alternate or connected to the stem in more or less regular whorls. The flowers are hermaphrodite and pollinated by insects and cleistogamy; they appear from May to June. The plant is self-fertile. Distribution Featherfoil is found in Europe and northern Asia. The species epithet ''palustris'' is Latin for "of the marsh" and indicates its common habitat.Archibald William Smith Cultivation Naturally a bog or marsh In ecology, a marsh is a wetland that is dominated by herbaceous plants rather than by woody plants.Ke ...

Inonotus Dryadeus
''Inonotus dryadeus'' (syn. ''Pseudoinonotus dryadeus''), commonly known as oak bracket, warted oak polypore, weeping polypore or weeping conk, is an inedible species of fungus belonging to the genus ''Inonotus'', which consists of bracket fungi with fibrous flesh. Most often found growing at the base of oak trees, it causes white rot and decay of the trunks. It secretes an amber liquid which weeps from tubes in its upper surface. Description The thick fruiting body of ''Inonotus dryadeus'' varies in size from in width, although specimens up to have been found. Its velvety upper surface is cream to rusty brown with a yellower margin, and is pitted with tubes up to 3 cm deep which ooze an orange-brown liquid when the fruit body is young, hence the name "weeping conk". On the buff underside there are 4 to 6 fine pores per millimetre. These are initially greyish-white but mature to yellow or ochre. The flesh is soft and fibrous, yellow-brown in colour and has an unpleasant ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Polyporus Umbellatus
''Polyporus umbellatus'' is an edible species of mushroom. It is also called umbrella polypore. Description The fruit body is composed of numerous (sometimes several hundred) caps. They are across, deeply umbilicate, light brown, and form the extremities of a strong, many branched stalk. The compound fungus can be up to 40 cm in diameter. The pores are decurrent, narrow and whitish. The stalk is whitish grey, , and originates from a strong, underground, tuber-like nodule. The flesh is white and soft, hardening with age. The spore print is white. Similar species The caps of ''Grifola frondosa'' are less consistently sized and those of ''Armillaria tabescens'' have gills. Habitat and distribution The species grows on roots of old beeches or oak. It can be found in eastern North America from May to September. Uses It is a choice edible mushroom Edible mushrooms are the fleshy fruit bodies of numerous species of macrofungi (fungi that bear fruiting structures l ...

Grifola Frondosa
''Grifola frondosa'' (also known as hen-of-the-woods, in Japanese, ram's head or sheep's head) is a polypore mushroom that grows at the base of trees, particularly old growth oaks or maples. It is native to China, Europe, and North America. It is an edible mushroom long used in East Asian cuisine and studied for its potential health benefits, though no high-quality clinical evidence supports its medicinal use. Description Like the sulphur shelf mushroom, ''G. frondosa'' is a perennial fungus that often grows in the same place for several years in succession. ''G. frondosa'' grows from an underground tuber-like structure known as a sclerotium, about the size of a potato. The fruiting body, individually up to across but whole clumps up to , rarely , is a cluster consisting of multiple grayish-brown caps which are often curled or spoon-shaped, with wavy margins and broad. The undersurface of each cap bears about one to three pores per millimeter, with the tubes rarely deeper t ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
