Mycologist
Mycology is the branch of biology concerned with the study of fungi, including their taxonomy, genetics, biochemical properties, and use by humans. Fungi can be a source of tinder, food, traditional medicine, as well as entheogens, poison, and infection. Yeasts are among the most heavily utilized members of the fungus kingdom, particularly in food manufacturing. Mycology branches into the field of phytopathology, the study of plant diseases. The two disciplines are closely related, because the vast majority of plant pathogens are fungi. A biologist specializing in mycology is called a mycologist. Overview The word ''mycology'' comes from the Ancient Greek: μύκης (''mukēs''), meaning "fungus" and the suffix (''-logia''), meaning "study." Pioneer mycologists included Elias Magnus Fries, Christiaan Hendrik Persoon, Heinrich Anton de Bary, Elizabeth Eaton Morse, and Lewis David de Schweinitz. Beatrix Potter, author of '' The Tale of Peter Rabbit'', also made signific ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Kingdom Of Croatia (Habsburg)
The Kingdom of Croatia (; ; , ) was part of the Lands of the Hungarian Crown, but was subject to direct Imperial Austrian rule for significant periods of time, including its final years. Its capital was Zagreb. It was also a part of the lands of the Habsburg monarchy from 1527, following the Election in Cetin, and the Austrian Empire from 1804 to 1867. The Kingdom of Croatia had large territorial losses in wars with the Ottoman Empire in the 16th century. Until the 18th century, the kingdom included only a small north-western part of present-day Croatia around Zagreb, and a small strip of coastland around Rijeka, that were not part of the Ottoman Empire or part of the Croatian Military Frontier.

Schulzeria
''Leucoagaricus'' is a genus of mushroom-forming fungi in the family Agaricaceae. As of March 2023 there are over 200 accepted species of ''Leucoagaricus'' with ongoing research into the genus adding several more each year.' ''Leucocoprinus'' is a similar genus and considered by some sources to be indistinct from ''Leucoagaricus'' based on genetic data that demonstrates they are monophyletic. Species are separated into these genera based on macroscopic features such as cap striations in ''Leucocoprinus'' or the more persistent basidiocarps (mushrooms) of ''Leucoagaricus'' as well as microscopic features such as the lack of a germ pore in ''Leucoagaricus'' species. As a result of the similarities and disagreement on taxonomy, many of the species within these genera have formerly been classified in the other and may still be known by previous classifications. For instance the species ''Leucoagaricus gongylophorus'' is cultivated by fungus-growing ants but was formerly known as ''Le ...
