...Although mushrooms have at one time been used as a staple food in some parts of Russia and South America, and they have been served as the main dish during mushroom seasons in Africa, they are generally considered only as an ingredient or complement to various dishes-rather than as a daily vegetable. However, mushrooms have been and will be increasing in importance as a source of food because they have a pleasing flavor, fine texture, adequate protein content (Crisan and Sands 1978), and health benefits (Mori 1974). The demand for mushrooms in some industrialized countries has increased threefold during the period 1965-1975 (Delcaire 1978). As people become wealthier, their consumption of mush-rooms increases. In 1977, the total per capita consumption of Agaricus mush-rooms in West Germany was about 12 times that of the world average. It is hoped that in the near future mushrooms can be cultivated widely just as other common vegetables are. 虽然蘑菇在同一时间都被用来作为俄罗斯和南美一些地区的主食，并已在非洲的蘑菇季节期间作为主盘供应，他们通常被认为只能作为一种成分或补充各种菜肴而不是作为日常的蔬菜。然而，蘑菇已被作为食物来源的重要性将越来越大，因为他们有一个可喜的味道，质地细腻，足够的蛋白质含量（克里桑和金沙1978年），以及健康的好处（森，1974）。 1965年至1975年期间，（Delcaire1978），蘑菇在一些工业化国家的需求增长了三倍。随着人们越来越富裕，他们的消费增加的蘑菇房。 1977年，在西德的人均总消费的双孢蘑菇的客房，是世界平均水平的12倍左右。希望在不久的将来蘑菇可以广泛种植其他常见的蔬菜。 WHAT ARE MUSHROOMS? Mushrooms belong to the group of organisms known as filamentous fungi. Be-cause all fungi lack chlorophyll, they cannot get their energy, as green plants do, directly from the sun. They must obtain their nutrients from waste products...

...Chapter 1: BUSINESS CONCEPT A) Business Name The mushroom culture is already gaining its popularity in Pangasinan, Philippines, specifically in Urdaneta City. As a vegetable, it is being added as one of the ingredients in some of Pangasinan delicacies. However, due to lack of planting materials and knowledge, the production of mushrooms is still limited. With a lot of suggestions about the name of the business, the researchers have decided as a group to use MousseronFarm. The word mushroom originated from a Late Latin word mussirio which means "of obscure origin"then was later adopted as an Old French word mousseron from the root word mousse which means "moss". From that Old French word, the name of the business was derived. A mushroom is defined as a macrofungus with a distinctive fruiting body. The macrofungi have fruiting bodies large enough to be seen with the naked eye and to be picked up by hand (Chang and Miles, 1992). In a narrow sense, the word mushroom also refers only to the fruitbody.Mushrooms used to be classified into the Kingdom Plantae, but now they belong to the Kingdom Fungi due tounique fungal characteristics which draw a clear line from animals or plants. Unlike green plants, mushrooms areheterotrophs. Not having chlorophyll, they cannot generate nutrients by photosynthesis, but take nutrients from outer sources.

...Assignment : Yeast and it’s Phyllum Yeast is naturally growing fungi that grows as a single cell, producing daughter cells either through budding (budding yeast) or by binary fission. They differ from most fungi as most fungi grow as a threadlike hyphae. Yeast is used in baking purpose or fermentation where it helps the dough or the grapes to release carbon dioxide and alcohol. Yeast grows mostly in moist environments where there is a good supply of nutrients such as carbohydrates and amino acids. For this reason they are commonly found on the surface of the leaves and fruit surface or on the tip of the roots. (Deacon) There are many different types of yeast, but the most common ones are the, Saccharomyces also known as the budding yeast which is used in bread making. Cryptococcus species are another type of yeast found commonly on the leaf surface. There are similar yeast, but with different species names are used for the production of alcoholic drinks. (Deacon) Yeast is very harmful to humans and plants equal. One example is the C. neoformans which occurs 7-8 percent of AIDS patients in the USA. The capsule that is exhibited by the yeast can sometimes prevent the cells from being recognized and engulfed by the white blood cells.The C. neoformans grows specially in old bird droppings in the cities. The most common symptoms are lung infection, mild pneumonia, depending on the immunity of the body. The other type of yeast that stays in the mucosal membranes of the humans...

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Mushroom poisoning is a relatively rare cause of acute liver failure (ALF). The present paper analyzes the pathogenesis, clinical features, prognostic indicators, and therapeutic strategies of ALF secondary to ingestion of Amanita phalloides, which represents the most common and deadly cause of mushroom poisoning. Liver damage from Amanita phalloides is related to the amanitins, powerful toxins that inhibit RNA polymerase II resulting in a deficient protein synthesis and cell necrosis. After an asymptomatic lag phase, the clinical picture is characterized by gastrointestinal symptoms, followed by the liver and kidney involvement. Amatoxin poisoning may progress into ALF and eventually death if liver transplantation is not performed. The mortality rate after Amanita phalloides poisoning ranges from 10 to 20%. The management of amatoxin poisoning consists of...

...Not All Fungi are the Same Jason Tipton Excelsior College Not All Fungi are the Same Fungi have many different characteristics than those of bacteria. Most fungi can live and survive in an environment that can be hostile to most bacteria’s (Tortora,Funke & Case 2013). Even though a fungus is so much different from bacteria, there are many types of fungi that are different from eachother. Some examples of this are the differnces in the three fungi, Zygomycota, Ascomycota, and Basidiomycota. Some of the differences they may have can include: each ones reproduction methods, means of obtaining nutrients, and their importance to humans. Zygomycota is known as an conjunction fungi, and they are saprophytic molds that include an coenocytic hyphae ( Tortora,Funke & Case 2013). There are approximately 1050 species known that are Zygomycota and they are mostlyare found living in soil or on decaying plant. An example of a form of the zygomycota fungi is Rhizopus, which is known as the common black mold found in or on bread. The sexual spore of a zygomycota is called a zygospore, and it is eclosed in a wall and is considered both sexual and asexual. Before germination the spore is in a dormant state. There are two types of dormancy are the exogenous and endogenous. Zygomycota are said to be the most ecologically diverse group of fungi, functioning as saprophytes on substrates such as fruit, soil, and dung( James and O’Donnell 2004). Ascomycota is known as a sac fungi...

Agriculture is the main stay of the Indian economy, as it constitutes the backbone of rural India which inhabitants more than 70% of total Indian population. The fertility of the soil has augmented the success of agriculture in India. Further, Rural Economy in India has been playing an important role towards the overall economic growth and social growth of India.

During prehistoric time when there was no currency system the India economy system followed barter system for trading i.e. the excess of agricultural produce were exchanged against other items. The agriculture produce and system in India are varied and thus offers a wide agricultural product portfolio. Today, the rural economy in India and its subsequent productivity growth is predicated to a large extent upon the development of its 700-million strong rural population.

Background Wood is a hard, fibrous structural tissue found in the stems and roots of trees and other woody plants. It has been used for thousands of years for both fuel and as a construction material. It is an organic material, a natural composite of cellulose fibers (which are strong in tension) embedded in a matrix of lignin which resists compression. Wood is sometimes defined as only the secondary xylem in the stems of trees, or it is defined more broadly to include the same type of tissue elsewhere such as in the roots of trees or shrubs. In a living tree it performs a support function, enabling woody plants to grow large or to stand up by them. It also mediates the transfer of water and nutrients to the...

...The Ethics of Design The industrial revolution was a period between 18th and 19th centuries in which the world transitioned from a more natural environment, to heavy industry and infrastructure. During the industrial revolution, rural societies in Europe and America became industrial and urban through advancements in technology and manufacturing processes. Growth in industrialism in combination with an anthropocentric world view, brought with it a lack of sentiment for the environment, health risks, and resource depletion. Naturally, as ideologies have shifted to a more basic biocentric point of view, people have sought out to replace the design and production methods of industrial environmentally hurtful materials with more sustainable methods. Among these people are William McDonough, and American architect, and Michael Braungart, a German chemist. Based on the idea that nature is a designer and that human industrial structure works in contrast to the natural environment, McDonough and Braungart have pioneered “cradle to cradle” design which attempts to imitate nature’s structural design that produces without pollution. Additionally, David R. Keller and E. Charles Brummer, professors and directors of studies, have developed postmechanistic agricultural ideas to humane and environmentally conscious food production. To offer a greater philosophical view, Aldo Leopold’s, “The Land Ethic” reorients ethics to view human beings as members of a much larger biotic community...
