Podcasts about Agaricus

Changes in Colorado's school funding formula has negative effects on local school districts, Trump administration's tariffs could cost Colorado consumers $1.2 billion,  San Miguel County to support EcoAction Partners' regional Green Grants program, and Agaricus julius is in the running to become the official state mushroom. 

Wondering how to fine-tune your nutrition for peak endurance performance? I've got you covered.  Today, I'll be sharing my top 10 "superfoods" that every endurance athlete should consider incorporating into their diet. I'm not talking about the typical marketing gimmick superfoods; I'm talking about nutrient-dense foods that genuinely enhance performance and overall health. Berries are rich in antioxidants, in particular flavonoids, that help combat inflammation and oxidative stress from workouts. They're also a great option for a low-carb, low-calorie snack that satisfies your sweet tooth. Berries are best when they're fresh, locally grown, and in season, but frozen berries can provide a good variety all year round! Eggs are an excellent source of high-quality protein and contain the amino acid leucine, which promotes muscle protein synthesis. They are also nutrient-dense, providing B vitamins, choline, selenium, vitamin A, iron, and phosphorus.  Remember to eat the whole egg, not just the whites, as the yolks contain most of the nutrients. Quinoa is a protein-rich grain, packed with fibre and essential amino acids. It's a great choice plant-based source of protein for vegetarian or vegan athletes. It's also particularly beneficial for anyone balancing their carbohydrate and protein intake. Legumes are nutrient powerhouses rich in protein and fibre. They are great for gut health and help in muscle repair and recovery. They can be added to salads, casseroles, and even spaghetti but, add them to your diet slowly to avoid gastrointestinal discomfort. Nuts and Seeds offer a great mix of protein and healthy fats. Each type offers different benefits so try and include a variety in your diet. While they are calorie-dense, studies have shown we absorb fewer calories from nuts than previously believed, so don't hold back! Mushrooms are an excellent source of B vitamins, antioxidants, and essential minerals. They're also one of the few foods that can provide vitamin D, which they generate when exposed to UV light. Mushrooms offer so many benefits that I'm thinking of giving them their own episode in the future. In the meantime, make sure you add them to your diet wherever possible. Beetroots are known for their high nitrate content, which enhances blood flow and oxygen delivery to muscles. While you'd need to eat a lot to see significant performance benefits, adding beetroots into your diet will support your overall cardiovascular health. Extra Virgin Olive Oil is a great source of monosaturated fat, which we rarely get enough of. It also contains bioactive molecules that help reduce oxidative stress and inflammation. Recent studies even suggest that its anti-inflammatory properties can rival those of ibuprofen. Deep-Sea Fatty Fish, like salmon, tuna, and mackerel, are rich in omega-3 fatty acids, essential for cardiovascular health, joint health, and overall brain function. Most people eat fish occasionally, but not enough to receive the full benefits.  Aim to include these in your diet two to three times a week. Green Leafy Vegetables are nutrient-dense, rich in vitamins A, C, K, E, and essential minerals. These versatile vegetables are great for protecting against disease and promoting overall health. So, don't just stick to spinach and kale; there are so many options here and eating a variety will bring maximum benefits! Remember, nutrition is about variety and balance. No single food item will make you a better athlete overnight, but incorporating a diverse range of these nutrient-dense foods into your diet will set you up for long-term health and optimal performance in your triathlon training.  If you have any questions about incorporating these foods into your diet or want to discuss specific nutrition strategies, please feel free to reach out.

The Button Mushroom (Agaricus bisporus): An Alternative Control Source for the Grocott Methenamine Silver Technique Authors: From University of Texas M.D. Anderson Cancer Center Center, Houston, TX- Fatimah Ansar; Carla Arredondo; Tran Huynh; Victoria Jones; Jennifer Le; Duong Nguyen; Andres Ronquillo-Erazo; Minnu Varghese; Kaleena Ramirez; Toysha Mayer; Mark A. Bailey   Identifying the presence of fungi through special histotechniques is a critical diagnostic histopathology test for patients who may have acquired a fungal infection localized in the lungs. The purpose of this study was to determine if the mushroom species Agaricus bisporus, generally known as the Button Mushroom and, commonly used for cooking, may be used a special stain control slide. Is the Button Mushroom a reliable fungal control to use when performing a Grocott Methenamine Silver technique test?  The investigators hypothesize the Agaricus bisporus mushroom is a good substitute control for result verification  of the GMS staining technique and readily available compared to tissue controls. The button mushrooms were purchased from a local grocer in Houston, TX, subsequently grossed into eight 1.0x1.0x0.4cm representative sections and submitted for routine tissue processing, embedding, sectioning and stained using the H&E and Grocott Methenamine methods. Inclusive, for the test a commercially available human lung tissue control (+) for fungi was compared to the Button Mushroom results and to ensure the GMS technique produced the appropriate result. The processed button mushrooms GMS stain did not yield a definitive result to conclude the outcome of the staining method. The stained GMS slides demonstrated an indistinguishable contrast between the morphology of the mushroom and the presence of fungi; however, the H&E demonstrated the morphology well, however, further studies are necessary to confirm the presence of fungi.   The use of alternative controls are dependent on the specific clinical; research goals or experimental conditions to provide appropriate and relevant results. The limitations of the research was, not together with, the  GMS to perform a PAS stain on the button mushrooms. Subsequently, we will perform the PAS technique on the button mushrooms and test a different alternative source to establish a viable control for the substitution of human tissue (+) for fungi.

Vi har få svenska ord för att beskriva dofter, något fler för smaker. Kanske är en utveckling på gång? Språket handlar även om en ny bok som samlar hundratals språkliga uttryck kring mat och dryck. Veckans språkfrågorSvenska språket saknar ord för att berätta hur det luktar. Hur kan man få veta mer om språk och dofter samt vilka ord man i svenskan använder för att gestalta luktsinnet?Om man har svagt luktsinne kan man knappast säga att man luktar dåligt utan att bli missförstådd. Varför finns det inget verb för förmågan att känna dofter?I vilken mån pågår arbete för att utveckla den språkliga terminologin kring smaker och dofter?Det finns olika åsikter huruvida det är bra eller dåligt om något "smakar fågel". Vad finns det för bakgrund till uttrycket och hur används det idag?Varifrån kommer ordet kantarell, och vad kallades svampen i Sverige innan Linné gav den sitt vetenskapliga namn**?Vissa filmjölksprodukter sägs ha "spritsig smak". Kan man använda ordet spritsig på det sättet?I förordet till nya boken Maten i vårt språk står att det är "lätt att skapa nya metaforiska uttryck utifrån mat som ämnesområde". Om det stämmer, varför är det så?På vilket sätt är matuttryck intressanta, rent språkligt?I uttrycket mums filibaba betyder ju mums att något smakar gott. Men vad betyder filibaba?Språkvetare Henrik Rosenkvist, professor i nordiska språk vid Göteborgs universitet. Carl Ahlstrand, författare och språkkonsult. Programledare Jens Möller.** OBS! I programmet nämns att Linné gav kantarellen ett vetenskapligt namn. Namnet idag är Cantharellus cibarius. Linné kallade dock den gula svampen Agaricus cantharellus. Det nuvarande namnet uppkom först på 1800-talet. Språket beklagar den delvis felaktiga uppgiften.

Olá, hoje é 31 de outubro de 2022, meu nome é GUSTAVO MAEDA sou Assessor de Agronegócios em UBERABA-MG e falaremos hoje sobre o cenário do Cogumelo. Os cogumelos são macrofungos e foram inicialmente cultivados na China, 600 anos antes de Cristo. Existem mais de 10.000 espécies conhecidas, mas apenas 700 são comestíveis. No Brasil são cultivados 3 gêneros de cogumelos: Agaricus, Pleurotus e Lentinula. Dentre as principais espécies, temos o Champignon de Paris, o Porto Belo, o Shimeji Preto, o Shimeji Branco, Eryngui e o Shiitake. Sendo que o Shiitake é o único comercializado na forma desidratada e os demais em natura ou conserva. De acordo com a Embrapa, a produtividade média obtida se aproxima de 7,0 kg/m², considerando que existem vários métodos de cultivo e diversos gêneros de cogumelos. São principalmente cultivados em toras, vidros, canteiros ou sacos plásticos, com o processo produtivo conduzido dentro de estufas ou galpões fechados, com controle de temperatura, luminosidade e umidade; de forma a controlar contaminação por ácaros e outros fungos.Conforme dados do sistema referencial técnico do Banco do Brasil, para o champignon, cogumelo mais produzido e consumido no Brasil, o custo de produção varia em patamares próximos de R$ 250,00/m², considerando estimativas de produtividades entre 20 e 25 kg/m². Estes são comercializados com valores próximos de R$ 17,00/kg. O Estado de São Paulo é o maior produtor de cogumelo, com aproximadamente 505 produtores, seguido pelo Paraná. Juntos são responsáveis por 90% da produção nacional. A Bahia também vem se destacando na produção e distribuição de cogumelos, devido à instalação de uma moderna fábrica com a parceria de investidores estrangeiros. Só em 2022, o Brasil exportou mais de 51 toneladas de cogumelos frescos, refrigerados, preparados ou conservados, resultando em mais de R$ 650 mil de receita. O Japão é o principal país demandante de cogumelos brasileiros na atualidade, com importações totalizando R$ 360 mil, ou seja (55% do volume exportado). A China é o maior fornecedor de cogumelos para o Brasil, negociando mais de R$ 11 milhões desde janeiro deste ano, representando quase 95% do volume financeiros importado.O Banco do Brasil, principal parceiro do agronegócio brasileiro, possui linhas de crédito para apoiar o fungicultor em todas as etapas do processo produtivo, desde construção das estufas, aquisição de insumos, até a comercialização do produto. Conte sempre com a Assessoria especializada em Agronegócios e com toda a equipe do Banco do Brasil. Fica a dica de crédito consciente e sustentável. Até a próxima!

Ez a Podkoszt, a 444.hu gasztronómiai podcastjának ötödik adása (a korábbi részeket itt találjátok).  A mai adásban egy gomba rajongó, egy gomba semleges és egy gomba szkeptikus beszélgetett a gombákról. Itt az ősz, dübörög a gombaszezon, mégis a KSH 2020-as adatai alapján a magyarok 1 kg gombát esznek évente. Ezzel a számmal jócskán  elmaradunk a 4-5 kg-os európai átlagtól, pedig egy csodálatos, sokszínű és fenntartható alapanyagról van szó.  Étkezési célokra jelenleg a világon a legnagyobb arányban a csiperkét (Agaricus bisporus) termesztik, a piacon és boltokban fehér és barna fajtával kisebb, egyen méretekben találkozni (erre hivatkoznak angol receptekben "white button mushroom" vagy "champignon" néven), de a magyar erdők tele vannak varázslatosan sokféle és sokszínű erdei gombákkal. Körbejárjuk, hogy mi is a gomba, hogy néz ki a hazai erdeigomba-piac és hogyan érdemes őket elkészíteni, hogy a legfinomabbak legyenek. Egy interjú erejéig vendégünk volt Nagy Kriszta, a Banyaerdő alapítója, aki ráadásul egy óriási csomag gyönyörű erdei gombát is hozott a stúdióba. A Banyaerdő egy társadalmi vállalkozás Dencsházán, egy 560 fős faluban, Baranya megyében. A vadon termő növényeket és gombákat a Dencsháza környéki erdőkben és mezőkön gyűjtik. Szárított gombák, gombakészítmények, fűszersók, olajak, és a saját receptkönyvük, Tányérodon az erdő, megvásárolható a webshopjukban, friss gomba gyűjtésük pedig hétvégi termelői piacokon elérhető.  Ízletes vargánya, céklatinóru, tölgyfa-érdestinóru, pókhálósgombák, rizike, gereben, sárga rókagomba, tölcséres rókagomba, barna nyálkásgomba és káposztagomba a stúdióban a Banyaerdő jóvoltából  01.11 Bajor Zsófi gomba coming outja 05.54 Most akkor mi is a gomba 14.50 Banyák a baranyai erdőben  18.46 Erdei gomba nagyhatalom lehetnénk, miért nem vagyunk azok? 25.10 Ízletes vargánya, céklatinóru, pókhálósgomba 30.05 Gombák és a klímakatasztrófa 34.40 Hogy lesz a gomba a legfinomabb 38.05 Gombák a desszertben és a mirigyes pereszlény A témában ajánljuk  a Netflixen megtekinthető Fantastic Fungi (A gombák lenyűgöző vilga) dokumentumfilmet és Paul Stamets TED talk-jait (van hozzá magyar felirat is)  a Banyaerdőről még pár évvel ezelőtt készült riportot a régi Indexen, kedves kollégánk Csurgó Dénes tollából erdeigomba-szedő tanácsokat a Tudatos Vásárlók oldalán, és a Terítéken a gomba! - a Felelős Gasztrohős Alapítvány egész hónapban tartó gombanépszerűsítő kampányát Ha van kérdésetek, tippetek, hozzászólásotok vagy egy téma ötletetek, amiről szívesen hallgatnátok beszélgetést, küldjétek el nekünk a podkoszt@444.hu címre!

The Friday Newsletter |  Daily Gardener Community   Historical Events 1755 Birth of Jean Anthelme Brillat-Savarin (books by this author), French lawyer and politician. He became a famous epicure and gastronome. In The Physiology of Taste, He wrote, A man who was fond of wine was offered some grapes at dessert after dinner.  'Much obliged', said he, pushing the plate aside; 'I am not accustomed to taking my wine in pills.   1803 Birth of Miles Joseph Berkeley, English cryptogamist and clergyman. Miles is regarded as a founder of plant pathology. As a young man, Miles became passionate about lichens, and he became a recognized expert in his lifetime. Miles pursued his botanical work around his duties as a pastor. He coined the term "mycologist" to describe his work with nature. Today Websters defines a mycologist as someone who works with fungi ("fun-guy"), living organisms such as molds, yeast, and mushrooms.  And while many of his fellow clergymen believed the potato famine to be a tool of the devil, Miles correctly suspected that a water mold, Phytophthora infestans, could be the source of the problem. Miles named a mushroom species Agaricus ruthae ("Ah-GARE-uh-kus Ruth-ee") after his daughter Ruth. Ruth Ellen Berkeley became a successful botanical illustrator.   1838 Birth of George Edward Post, American physician and scholar. He was a missionary, professor, and pioneering doctor in Syria, Beirut, and Lebanon. In his spare time, he botanized the countryside and wrote the first English Flora of the Middle East. George is remembered for his extensive herbarium. His students helped with his collecting efforts. George would assign two hundred herbarium sheets per student and reward those who traveled the furthest to obtain specimens. There are many incredible stories about George Post. Supposedly, he could outwork most men and fall asleep very quickly. George Post lore tells how George could also collect specimens without getting off his horse. George got good at leaning down low on the side of his saddle to grab a specimen for his study. Finally, as George lay dying, a visitor placed some wheat in his hand. The wheat was symbolic of the harvest and George's lifetime of work with plants.   1868 Birth of Edmond Rostand (books by this author), the very dapper-looking French poet and dramatist. Edmond built a villa called Arnaga in Cambo less Bains, France. The beautiful gardens cover 37 acres. Edmond planned the French garden on the east side to greet the rising sun and an English garden on the west side to enjoy the setting sun. Edmond called Arnaga "a poem of stone and greenery," and it is often referred to as the "Little Versaille" in the Basque country. Today the villa and the gardens get five-star reviews on Trip Advisor. Edmond is best known for his 1897 play Cyrano de Bergerac. In the play, Edmond wrote this garden-inspired verse, My soul, be satisfied with flowers, With fruit, with weeds even; but gather them In the one garden you may call your own.   Grow That Garden Library™ Book Recommendation Patina Farm by Brooke and Steve Giannetti This book came out in March of 2016 - so it's been out for six years already. This book has been on my watch list for quite some time, and use copies have finally dipped below $20, so I am thrilled to share this with you on today's show. Let me just start by saying that the cover of Patina Farm is so stunning. It's one of my favorite covers, and when I saw the cover for the first time, I could not stop thinking about it. I love the use of dried flowers and the styling on the cover. I love the cutting boards displayed over the mantle, the beautiful teal slip-covered chairs, and the natural elements that make this gorgeous cover. And then, of course, there is the incredibly inspiring story of Steve and his wife, Brooke, because they decided to leave suburbia - they were living in Santa Monica - and then they built a new life for themselves on a farm. But first, they went to Europe to find their inspiration for their farm - visiting Belgium and France - and then combined their talents to create Patina Farm, sharing what they did in this book. Now Steve is the architect. He puts together all the architectural drawings, which you can see in the book. And then Brooke is the writer. She's a beautiful writer and took over 200 photographs shared in this book. And don't I love the name of their farm: Patina Farm. The book is dedicated to their children, Charlie, Nick, and Lyla, and in the dedication, they said that their kids give their dreams meaning, which is so touching. The other thing I like about this book is how they share their journey in the titles of each chapter. So there's arriving, connecting, nourishing, creating, restoring, rejuvenating, sharing, and then farming - and then they give abundant resources at the end, too. If there's something that you're particularly inspired by, you can track down the resources that they used. Patina Farm is a total eye candy book. If you're a gardener, You're going to swoon at this book. It's gorgeous. And like I said, it's one of my favorite books. It's got all of the things that I love - beautiful elements, both natural and manmade - and it all comes together to create tranquil, inspiring Patina Farm (Which has not one but two courtyards. Isn't that a dream come true?!) The other thing that you're going to enjoy by getting this book is that you will quickly realize how down-to-earth Steve and Brooke are, even though they've created this incredible jaw-dropping space. These guys are salt of the earth kind of people, and they're just so generous and sharing how they came up with the plans and the ideas behind this space. I also want just to take a quick second and share a bit of what Clinton Smith said about this book. He is the editor-in-chief of Veranda, and he wrote the forward. He wrote. On five acres in the heart of the Ohai Valley in California Is a place that has emerged over the past three years as the best case study of confident design married with passion and purpose. It's not as over the top or attention-seeking as some homes. In fact, it excels in understatement. Hidden from street view by a bank of white roses, the house and landscape — treated as one — fosters respect for nature, for space, for light and air, and everyday moments.  When you're at Patina Farm, you feel it through the waft of lavender in the backyard, the sound of crunching pea gravel underfoot on the back terrace. Bowls of freshly cut lemons on the kitchen island, the jolly nature of miniature donkeys, and silky Bantam chickens that have the run of the place. And while the owners didn't set out to create a Biltmore or Monticello (and why would they?), There are indeed similarities.  I could go on and on gushing about this book, But I trust that you get the drift. This book is 176 pages  (But I sure wish there were 500 pages, to be honest) of Patina Farm because I can't get enough of it. You can get a copy of Patina Farm by Brooke and Steve Giannetti and support the show using the Amazon link in today's show notes for around $18.   Botanic Spark In 2013, nine graduation speeches by Kurt Vonnegut (books by this author) were collected and published posthumously in a book called, If This Isn't Nice, What Is?: Advice for the Young.  In one speech, Kurt gave his unique take on the seasons. One sort of optional thing you might do is to realize there are six seasons instead of four.  The poetry of four seasons is all wrong for this part of the planet, and this may explain why we are so depressed so much of the time.  I mean, Spring doesn't feel like Spring a lot of the time, and November is all wrong for Fall and so on. Here is the truth about the seasons: Spring is May and June!  What could be springier than May and June?  Summer is July and August. Really hot, right?  Autumn is September and October. See the pumpkins? Smell those burning leaves.  Next comes the season called “Locking.” That is when Nature shuts everything down.  November and December aren't Winter. They're Locking.  Next comes Winter, January and February. Boy! Are they ever cold!  What comes next? Not Spring.  Unlocking comes next. What else could April be?   Thanks for listening to The Daily Gardener And remember: For a happy, healthy life, garden every day.

Today on Mushroom Hour we are joined by generational mushroom cultivator and medicinal mushroom alchemist Amir Karian. Amir grew up in a family of mushroom farmers who own and operate one of America's largest mushroom farms in Monterey Mushrooms and one of the largest mushroom spawn production companies called Amycel. But Amir's passion for mycology truly began when a journey of personal healing taught him first hand the power of medicinal mushrooms. He was compelled to share with others and being a part of a family of farmers was a blessing he couldn't overlook. He spent the next several years utilizing all of the experience and knowledge of mushroom farming that had been perfected over generations to research, develop, and grow the highest quality medicinal mushroom supplements - thus Alchemi Mushrooms was born. The driving ethos behind Alchemi's medicinal mushroom products is: "if it's not good enough to give to our families, we won't sell it."

Stāsta Latvijas Dabas muzeja mikoloģe Diāna Meiere Sēnēm, tāpat kā augiem un dzīvniekiem, ir zinātniskie nosaukumi, kas sastāv no diviem vārdiem – pirmais apzīmē ģinti, otrs – specifisku sugu ar tikai tai raksturīgu pazīmju  komplektu. Ģintī var būt no vienas līdz vairākiem desmitiem vai pat simtiem sugu. Piemēram, bērzlapju ģints Latvijā ir pārstāvēta ar vairāk nekā simts sugām, bet uz vecu ozolu stumbriem augošā aknene savā ģintī pie mums ir vienīgā. Zinātnisko nosaukumu – Fistulina – tai ir devis franču zinātnieks Buliārs 18. gadsimtā. Šobrīd lietotās dzīvo organismu klasifikācijas sistēmu pamatus radīja zviedru zinātnieks Kārls Linnejs. Un dažām sēņu ģintīm ir palikuši vēl Linneja dotie nosaukumi. Viena no tādām sēnēm, kurai joprojām pilnībā saglabājies viņa izgudrotais nosaukums ir Hydnum repandum jeb parastā kliņģerene. Otrs piemērs Linneja dotam trāpīgam sēnes nosaukumam ir zemestaukiem Phallus impudicus, kas atspoguļo šīs sēnes formu, bet sugas epitets – impudicus – tulkojams kā bezkaunīgais. Interesanti, ka tuvu radniecīga suga – Hadriana zemestauki, kas aug piejūras kāpās, nosaukta par godu holandiešu botāniķim, kurš 1564. gadā sacerējis zemestaukiem veltījis pamfletu. Nosaukumu katrai no jauna atklātai sēņu sugai dod zinātnieks, kurš to apraksta un publicē to citiem zinātniekiem pieejamā veidā. Nosaukumu veidošanai parasti tiek izmantoti no latīņu vai grieķu valodas atvasināti vārdi. Visbiežāk nosaukums atspoguļo kādu sēnei raksturīgu īpašību, tās formu, krāsu, augšanas biotopu, saistību ar kādu ģeogrāfisku vietu. Reizēm sēnes nosauc par godu kādam pētniekam. Tā, viena no vairākās valstīs populārām trifelēm – delikatesēm saucas Tuber borchii, un nosaukta par godu Borham, kura dzimtai piederēja Varakļānu muiža. Savulaik Borhs uzturoties Itālijā bija ne tikai kaislīgs iežu un minerālu kolekcionārs, bet arī uzrakstīja vienu no pirmajiem plašākiem trifeļu – pazemes sēņu aprakstiem. Tādēļ šī suga nosaukta viņam par godu. Minēšu dažus piemērus, kas ilustrē sēņu ģinšu un sugu nosaukumu nozīmi: Auricularia, jo atgādina ausi Astraeus – jo atgādina zvaigzni Bolbitius – jo aug uz govju pļekām Macrolepiota – liela un zvīņaina Amanita – par godu Amanas kalnam Lepista – vīna kauss Inocybe – šķiedraina galva, jeb latviski cepurīte Flammans – jo ir košā, uguns krāsas Traganus – āžu, jo smaka atgādina āzi. Tādā veidā, uzzinot sēnes zinātnisko nosaukumu, šo to par sēni mēs jau zinām. Jo vairāk uzzinām par sēnēm, jo vairāk atšķirību pamanām, ar ārējām pazīmēm sāk nepietikt. Piemēram, Macrocystidia ģints sēnēm ir lielas cistīdas, kas saskatāmas mikroskopā. Dažreiz nosaukumi ir ļoti tēlaini. Piemēram, bumbieru pūpēža zinātniskais nosaukums ir Lycoperdon pyriforme, kas burtiski tulkojot būtu bumbieru formas vilka purkšķis. Sēņu nosaukumi dažreiz skan kā dzeja – Agaricus augustus, Lactarius volemus, Aureoboletus projectellus. Citi savukārt var kalpot par kārtīgiem mēles mežģiem. Piemēram, šobrīd mežos atrodama zilganzaļa sēne Chlorociboria aeruginascens, bet rudens taurenes nosaukums ir Craterellus cornucopioides. Šobrīd zinātnei zināms un aprakstīts ir aptuveni 145 000 sēņu sugu. Tomēr pēc dažādiem aprēķiniem, kopumā varētu būt pat vairāki miljoni sugu. Tādēļ jaunu vārdu došana sēnēm tik drīz vēl nebeigsies.

Today's show covers a field known as mycovirology, or the study of viruses that infect fungi. This esoteric science is nascent but profound in its applications, and we are welcoming one of the few people in the world who are studying these relationships. Why do mycoviruses matter? How can we work with and against them? How can this subfield influence mycology as a whole?We welcome Dr. Brenda Wingfield from the university of Pretoria in South Africa. Brenda holds her degree in fungal genomics and has published over 300 respective articles. Her work has expanded the mycological fields of taxonomy, phylogeny, ecology and tree pathology. Topics Covered:Defining mycovirology What makes fungal viruses unique from othersStuck fermentation caused by killer yeastsAsymptomatic vs symptomatic virusesMechanisms of viral infection in fungiUsing mycoviruses to combat Chestnut BlightViruses transferring from plants to fungiArmillaria virusesGenetic engineering with virusesWhat we know about the fungal immune systemThe detriment of La France disease in Agaricus bisporus farms 1000 Fungal Genome Project Show notes:Dr. Brenda Wingfield's publications: https://scholar.google.com/citations?user=tnLyuG0AAAAJ&hl=enFive Questions about Mycoviruses: https://journals.plos.org/plospathogens/article?id=10.1371/journal.ppat.1005172Mycoviruses educational video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXZBMcmGv84Killer Yeasts in Wine: https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/0922338X9390056ESecrets of Fungal Viruses: https://theconversation.com/researchers-unlock-the-secrets-of-fungal-viruses-why-it-matters-158632

We frequently receive questions about detoxing like what symptoms mean you need to detox, how to detox, how long to detox, how to know if it's working, etc. In this week's show, we'll discuss symptoms and solutions for detoxing, including what supplements and diet changes are beneficial during a detox, some of the different detoxification pathways, and how different detoxes can target different organs. Products Mentioned in Today's Show Vital Detox - This advanced blend of green plant concentrates and enzymes helps protect the body against chemicals ingested in the daily diet and through everyday environmental exposure. This formulation is rich in chlorophylls from Chlorella and contains a unique broccoli extract with glucosinolates. The chlorophylls in Chlorella form tight molecular complexes with a wide variety of everyday toxic chemical compounds, reducing their absorption from the gastrointestinal tract. A high-strength enzyme blend also breaks down dietary antigens and may support assimilation of beneficial constituents of Chlorella.† Kidney Essentials - Champex®, a patented extract from Agaricus bisporus, the common white button mushroom, has been shown to help the body maintain a healthy ratio of creatinine in the blood versus the urine. Red ginseng, a specially processed form of Panax ginseng, also supports healthy kidney function and displays kidney-protective, anti-inflammatory and antioxidative properties. Astragalus provides support for healthy fasting glucose levels, along with healthy albumin levels in the urine. Reduced L-Glutathione - Glutathione is the master antioxidant in the body and is heavily concentrated in tissues such as the liver, spleen and heart. Therefore, it plays a crucial role in immune function, detoxification capacity and protection against oxidative stress. This formulation is preformed, reduced glutathione (GSH) and provides a 250 mg dose in a one-capsule serving. You can also listen to Symptoms and Solutions for Detoxing on our YouTube channel here.

An informative discussion with Jeff Chilton on the medicinal properties of mushrooms for optimal health, preventative medicine and much more!!!     Bio:    Jeff Chilton, raised in Pacific Northwest, studied ethno-mycology at the University of Washington in the late sixties. In 1973 he started work on a commercial mushroom farm in Olympia, Washington. During the next 10 years he became the production manager, responsible for the cultivation of over 2 million pounds of Agaricus mushrooms per year. He was also involved in the research and development of shiitake, oyster and enoki mushrooms which resulted in the earliest U.S. fresh shiitake sales in 1978. In the late seventies Jeff was a founder of Mycomedia, which held 4 mushroom conferences in the Pacific Northwest. These educational conferences brought together educators and experts in mushroom identification, ethno-mycology, and mushroom cultivation. During this period Jeff co-authored the highly acclaimed book, The Mushroom Cultivator, which was published in 1983. In the 1980's he operated a mushroom spawn business and in 1989 he started Nammex, a business that introduced medicinal mushrooms to the U.S. nutritional supplement industry. Jeff traveled extensively in China during the 1990's, attending conferences and visiting research facilities and mushroom farms. In 1997 he organized the first organic mushroom production seminar in China. A founding member of the World Society for Mushroom Biology and Mushroom Products in 1994 and a Member of the International Society for Mushroom Science, Mr Chilton's company was the first to offer a complete line of Certified Organic mushroom extracts to the US nutritional supplement industry. Nammex extracts are used by many supplement companies and are noted for their high quality based on scientific analysis of the active compounds.     Topics discussed:   - Jeff's Back Story 00:45 - The Medicinal Properties of Mushrooms- Beta Glucans , Fibre and more 04:43 - Mushrooms and Immune Health 06:30 - Beta Glucan content of different mushrooms 07:55 - Triterpenoids and Reishi 08:45 - Fruiting Body vs Mycelium vs Spores 11:10 - Grain content in mushroom supplements 15:25 - The History of Medicinal Mushrooms usage 20:50 - Species of Medicinal Mushrooms 25:05 - Lion's mane mushroom 26:20 - Breakdown of Medicinal Mushroom types 28:13 - Reishi and longevity 28:45 - Chaga and Digestive health 29:42 - Cordycepes and energy 30:05 - Mushrooms as preventative medicine 31:38 - Mushrooms Studies 32:38 - Reishi and Cacao Combination for Gut Health 33:58 - Emerging Mushrooms 35:25 - How mushrooms reproduce? 37:27 - Mushrooms cooking tips 39:08 - Oyster Mushrooms 40:30 - Mushroom Growing 41:40 - Mushrooms, Microorganisms and Eco - Sustainability 42:33 - Mycorrhizal Fungi 45:10 - Balance of Nature 45:50 - Psilocybin Mushrooms for Mental Health 47:40 - Jeff's top health tip 56:42 Brought to you by:   Nourishme Organics your online shop for Medicinal Mushroom Products   https://www.nourishmeorganics.com.au/   Shop online today and use code magicmushroom for 10% off   https://www.nourishmeorganics.com.au/   Connect with Jeff Chilton   https://www.nammex.com/   Connect with Kriben Govender:    Facebook- https://www.facebook.com/guthealthgurus Instagram- https://www.instagram.com/guthealthgurus Youtube-https://www.youtube.com/c/guthealthgurus?sub_confirmation=1 Gut Health Gurus Facebook Group: https://www.facebook.com/groups/nourishmeorganics/ Deuterium Depletion Support Group : https://www.facebook.com/groups/mitowellness/   Download links               If you enjoyed this episode and would like to show your support:   1) Please subscribe on Apple Podcasts, give us 5 stars and leave a positive review     Instructions:   - Click this link  https://itunes.apple.com/au/podcast/gut-health-gurus-podcast/id1433882512?mt=2   - Click "View in Itunes" button on the left-hand side - This will open the Itunes app - Click the "Subscribe" button - Click on "Ratings and Reviews" tab - Click on "Write a Review" button   Non-Itunes users can leave a Google Review here: https://goo.gl/9aNP0V     2) Subscribe, like and leave a positive comment on Youtube   https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCq5KxLvGIY4r6SqNaAphEUw?sub_confirmation=1   3) Share your favourite episode on Facebook, Instagram, and Stories 4) Let your friends and family know about this Podcast by email, text, messenger etc   Thank you so much for your support.

What's in a Name? Understanding nomenclature and name changes Presented by Patrick Leacock, PhD Our current system of naming started 267 years ago with Carl Linnaeus. He gave us Agaricus (gilled fungi) and Boletus (pored fungi) and nine other genus names for 89 species of fungi. Later Fries and Persoon and others published lots more scientific names. The proliferation of names got messy. So 177 years ago folks started developing rules for using names that became a code for nomenclature. Today we have about 100,000 species with more named every year. We will look at scientific names and the basic requirements for their publication. Examples will show the various reasons for names to change; splitting and lumping and splitting is common for genera and species. Patrick is a mycologist documenting the mushrooms of the Chicago Region. He teaches botany and mycology at the School of the Art Institute of Chicago. He assists with forays and programs for the Illinois Mycological Association. He started his mushroom activities with the Minnesota Mycological Society before moving to Chicago. Patrick ran the Voucher Program for 20 years with the North American Mycological Association. Visit Patrick's website at www.mycoguide.com where he is trying to keep up with some of the name changes.

It all began in 1973, when Jeff Chilton went to work at Ostrom Mushroom Farms in Olympia Washington. Jeff quickly worked his way up to Grower and ultimately Production Manager. At that time Ostroms was producing over 2 million pounds of fresh Agaricus mushrooms per year and was at the cutting edge of new technologies, including what were then known as specialty mushrooms. A Japanese scientist on staff, Dr. Takashi Urayama, implemented an R+D program which grew Shiitake, Oyster and Enoki mushrooms. Shiitake production was scaled up and fresh shiitake were introduced to the local market in 1978. This was the first fresh shiitake sold on a large scale in the U.S. Exposure to these new mushroom species as well as a Fellowship to the Dutch School for Mushroom Growers in 1976 gave Jeff a much broader outlook on the mushroom industry and influenced his future path. In 1983, after 10 years of commercial mushroom growing experience, Jeff co-authored and published the classic, bestselling book on small-scale mushroom cultivation, The Mushroom Cultivator. That same year he moved his family to British Columbia to start a mushroom spawn laboratory and small speciality mushroom growing facility. By 1989, after much research, it became clear that many of the specialty mushrooms had beneficial properties and this was the wave of the future. In 1989 Jeff made his first trip to China to attend the International Society for Mushroom Science’s (ISMS) conference in Nanjing and he discovered the depth of mushroom knowledge and production capacity that China offered. The relationships Jeff built over the next 10 years laid the foundation that made Nammex a leader in the new category of health promoting mushrooms. This same year, 1989, Nammex was founded.

Today... we talk MUSHROOMS! We're going to discuss nutritional, medicinal, and psychedelic mushrooms in this podcast with one of the very first people to bring mushrooms into the supplement market, back in 1989! Here's some more about Jeff: For over 50 years, Jeff has been on the cutting edge of growing, cultivating, and researching mushrooms. As the President and founder of Nammex, Jeff was the first to offer a complete line of Certified Organic mushroom extracts to the US nutritional supplement industry. Back in the 70's he worked on a commercial mushroom farm in Olympia, Washington, and spent the next few years climbing up the toadstool to become a production manager, responsible for the cultivation of over 2 million pounds of Agaricus mushrooms yearly!

Many people have had feelings of isolation, anxiety, depression, irritability, and even anger throughout the last several weeks due to current world events. Some people have also reported increases in the amount of alcohol and junk food they've been consuming. A poor diet and overconsumption of alcohol can worsen emotional disorders by affecting different parts of the body. The kidneys and liver are often linked to certain negative emotions like anger and depression, so consuming too much alcohol can have a negative impact on both the kidneys and the liver, especially if you are not drinking enough water. In this week's episode, we'll discuss the kidney's connection to our emotions, and what we can do to help support kidney health. Products Mentioned in Today's Show Kidney Korrect - The ingredients in Kidney Korrect™ have been shown to support healthy kidney function. Champex®, a patented extract from Agaricus bisporus, the common white button mushroom, has been shown to help the body maintain a healthy ratio of creatinine in the blood versus the urine. Red ginseng, a specially processed form of Panax ginseng, also supports healthy kidney function and displays kidney-protective, anti-inflammatory and antioxidative properties. Astragalus provides support for healthy fasting glucose levels, along with healthy albumin levels in the urine. P5P Ultra - Pyridoxal 5’-Phosphate (P-5-P, or PLP) is the biologically active form of vitamin B6. It is formulated with highly bioavailable bisglycinate magnesium, an essential mineral that assists in B6 metabolism. Magnesium bisglycinate chelate is well tolerated and easily and comfortably absorbed without GI tissue irritation. P5P Ultra is a unique formula designed to support the health and function of the brain, nervous system, blood vessels, skin, and eyes.† Active Mag - Active Mag is a blend of four bioavailable forms of magnesium, designed to provide optimal absorption and utilization of magnesium.

Il fungo cresce nei sottoboschi di Europa, Asia e America. Di colore rossiccio, il cappello ha anche numerose macchie che variano dal bianco al giallo.L’ovolaccio è stato utilizzato, fino a non molto tempo fa, per produrre un insetticida efficace soprattutto contro le mosche. In omeopatia si utilizza il fungo fresco o il cappello essiccato.

Estudos realizados na Escola Superior de Agricultura Luiz de Queiroz (Esalq) da USP, em Piracicaba, mostram que é possível se obter um hambúrguer mais saudável adicionado-se em sua formulação o cogumelo da espécie Agaricus biosporus, também conhecido como o “champignon de Paris”. De acordo com a pesquisadora Iliani Patinho, que desenvolveu a formulação em sua dissertação de mestrado, o objetivo da inserção do cogumelo no hambúrguer de carne bovina foi torná-lo mais saudável, reduzindo o sal e substituindo principalmente a gordura (toucinho). Na entrevista concedida aos Novos Cientistas desta quinta-feira (9), Iliane contou que, dentre outros produtos, o cogumelo mostrou mais potencial para ser adicionado. “Ele é rico em compostos fenólicos, por exemplo”, ressaltou. A pesquisadora também informou que, dentre os testes já realizados, o produto foi submetido à análise de 12 provadores treinados que o aprovaram. “Também submetemos o hambúrguer ao que chamamos de ‘avaliação social’, que foi feita por 209 pessoas, com idade entre 18 e 61 anos”, contou. Nesse teste, o produto também foi aprovado. Em 27 de fevereiro deste ano, Iliane apresentou o hambúrguer a uma empresa que já é parceria no desenvolvimento do novo alimento. “É fundamental que a indústria, de modo geral, sempre tome conhecimento do que vem sendo desenvolvido na Universidade”, disse.

If there is one common thread regarding nutritional mushrooms, it is that mushroom provide powerful immune system support. It seems that most mushrooms share this characteristic. We have discussed many of these mushrooms in previous interviews. There are thousands of studies on the benefits of mushrooms. These different mushrooms are the results of significant scientific inquiry. This fact alone tells us a great deal. The most important takeaway is that there is exciting benefit in these mushrooms to justify hundreds or thousands of studies. This gives us more confidence. The post 337 – Agaricus Blazei Mushroom for Powerful Immune Support appeared first on Health Quest Podcast.

Jeff Chilton, raised in Pacific Northwest, studied ethno-mycology at the University of Washington in the late sixties and started working on a commercial mushroom farm in Olympia, Washington in 1973. During the next 10 years, he became the production manager, responsible for the cultivation of over 2 million pounds of Agaricus mushrooms per year and was also involved in the research and development of shiitake, oyster and enoki mushrooms which resulted in the earliest US fresh shiitake sales in 1978. In the late seventies, he was a founder of Mycomedia, which held 4 mushroom conferences in the Pacific Northwest. These educational conferences brought together educators and experts in mushroom identification, ethnomycology, and mushroom cultivation. During this period Jeff co-authored the highly acclaimed book, The Mushroom Cultivator, which was published in 1983. In the 1980’s he operated a mushroom spawn business and in 1989 he started Nammex, a business that introduced medicinal mushrooms to the US nutritional supplement industry. He traveled extensively in China during the 1990s, attending conferences and visiting research facilities and mushroom farms. In 1997 he organized the first organic mushroom production seminar in China. Jeff’s company, Nammex was the first to offer a complete line of Certified Organic mushroom extracts to the US nutritional supplement industry. Nammex extracts are used by many supplement companies and are noted for their high quality based on scientific analysis of the active compounds. In this episode we covered: - Greatest effects of mushrooms on our health - What are the nutritional benefits of mushrooms? - What is a mushroom? - What is the difference between mushroom and mycelium? - How do you grow mushrooms? - Mycotoxins and Lyme disease and how mushrooms help - What are the main active ingredients of medicinal mushrooms? - How do I know I’m purchasing a quality mushroom supplement?

Jeff found his passion for mushroom quite young. He grew up searching for mushrooms in the forest of Seattle and studied mycology in College. He terms his study ‘Ethnomycology' and began learning how to grow mushrooms on a large mushroom farm in Seattle (2 million pounds every year!) Jeff spent years traveling, researching and implementing organic mushroom-growing techniques around the globe before starting his company, Nammex, in 1989. Nowadays, Jeff uses his extensive knowledge to identify the best organic mushrooms that will produce superior wellness results. In this interview, Jeff teaches us how to find and select mushroom products while describing the advantages of mushrooms that are grown organically and much more!   We Discuss What are Agaricus mushrooms? Some history of ‘magic' mushrooms (psilocybin) and how they were used in ceremonies for healing. What are Medicinal Mushrooms and how are they used and how much should one take to get said results? Do mushroom typically get sprayed with pesticides? Why you have to be super careful with the brand and quality of medicinal mushrooms (and what else besides mushrooms are sometimes blended into these powdered mushrooms on the market) What are 10-1 extracts and how much do you take of that? It is the amount of dry herb to final herbal powder. 10 pounds of powder will make 1 pound of the 10-1 extract. Is a 200-1 extract ratio a scam? What's all the hype about chaga? It's NOT the king of mushrooms after all… What are Beta-Glucans found in mushrooms? These are the source of Immunological activity. Found highest in Turkey Tail and Reishi. How triterpenoids have a profound effect on cleansing the blood in the liver function and how it can benefit you   Jeff Also Gives His Recommendations for Dosage of Each Mushroom Cordyceps: take 1 tsp/day 1-1 ratio. Helps with healing from illness and for athletic fatigue recovery Lion's Mane: take 2 tsp/day 1-1 ratio. Helps boost memory and brain power.   Turkey Tail: take 2 tsp/day 50% Beta Glucans! Help boost immunity.   Chaga: take 1-2 tsp/day 1-1 ratio. Recommended daily.  It's actually a canker (not a mushroom)! Will help with Immune boosting, gut and stomach issues such as Crohn's, IBS, Autoimmune, etc. Has Triterpenes! Brew your own tea from a chunk and drink it or use it to brew your coffee.  Only 10% beta glucans Reishi: 2 tsp/day up to 30 dried grams! (10 tsp)  or 1 tsp. Of a 10-1 ratio. #1 Recommended for overall immune function. Has 50% beta-glucans (the compounds that give it immunological activity) and high in triterpenoids. Top herb for the liver. Maitake: Has beta glucans too. Cook these down and eat them. His 5-Defenders Blend: a combination of reishi, shiitake, maitake, chaga and turkey tail   HOW TO CHOOSE A BRAND   What are some other scams to look out for? Some companies are selling you mushrooms that are mostly rice that it's grown on!  You are not getting the benefits you think you are from those. Learn why you have to be super careful with the brand and quality of medicinal mushrooms (and what else besides mushrooms are sometimes blended into these powdered mushrooms on the market)   WHERE TO FIND MORE ABOUT JEFF OR GET IN CONTACT Jeff Chilton- 604-886-7799 info@nammex.com Company: Nammex (wholesale) Retail: https://www.realmushrooms.com/   To send questions or feedback to Elaina: podcast@purejoyplanet.com Lovecamp and Retreats: Http://PureJoyPlanet.com

White Paper published in 2015   Mushrooms http://learntruehealth.com/mushrooms Mushrooms are generally known to be a delicious addition to our dishes. But did you know there’s more to mushrooms than that? Mushroom expert Jeff Chilton is our guest on this episode. He will explain how mushrooms can be used as medicine, help the body to prevent cancer, make as extracts, drink, capsules, as well as boost our immune system. Growing Up Jeff Chilton grew up in Seattle where it rains so much. He remembers during the fall season, the place where he lived had lots of mushrooms everywhere. So, he used to go on mushroom hunts when he was younger. When Jeff Chilton got into university, his field of study was not about mushrooms. Despite that, he researched the use of mushrooms in indigenous cultures worldwide as well as the use of mushrooms in shamanism. Eventually, he took courses in his college about the study of mushrooms which is ethnomycology. Working At A Farm After college, Jeff Chilton decided to work on a mushroom farm and learn how to grow mushrooms. He went to Olympia, Washington, applied for a job and eventually got a job working at a big mushroom farm.  During the next decade, he became the production manager, responsible for the cultivation of over 2 million pounds of Agaricus mushrooms per year. On this farm he worked on, they had a program using specific chemicals at certain times during the crop to avoid molds attacking the mushrooms, especially with Agaricus mushrooms. Mushrooms in North America are grown indoors in huge warehouses, so it’s a monoculture. Understanding Mushrooms Jeff Chilton says mushrooms are a reproductive structure of an organism that we usually don’t see. They don’t have seeds. The mushroom will produce a spore; the spore will go out and land on the ground and germinate into a very fine thread-like filament. “Those filaments from different spores will fuse and form a network. The network is called mycelium which creates a lot of the soil out there used to grow our crops and plants. They are recyclers and important for our ecosystem,” explains Jeff Chilton. When he was working on that large farm, they put in four new crops every week. Every crop was producing 20,000 pounds of mushrooms. They had mushrooms in every stage of development. Choosing from among the various kinds of mushroom, Jeff Chilton highly recommends highly-certified organic Agaricus mushrooms in particular. There are so many other species that are good, but he says shiitake mushrooms is the one that everybody should be eating because it has so many great benefits.  Deeper Research Jeff Chilton just started to delve into the literature deeper about growing mushrooms and all the different species that could be grown. He was also learning about the medicinal benefits of mushrooms. Certain mushrooms were used in traditional Chinese medicine. From 1979 to 1983, Jeff Chilton worked with three other men. They put together mushroom conferences in the Northwest. Furthermore, the group organized two well-attended conferences in Washington State and two in Oregon. The conferences had experts from all over the country talking about how to identify mushrooms, how to cook mushrooms and Jeff Chilton spoke on how to cultivate mushrooms. A New Chapter Jeff Chilton also co-authored a book on mushroom cultivation in 1983 called The Mushroom Cultivator: A Practical Guide of Growing Mushrooms At Home. That was the year that he finally left the mushroom farm in Olympia and started his own business. Then in 1989, Jeff Chilton made his very first trip to China for an international mushroom conference. That was also the year he established his new business, Nammex. Nammex is a business that introduced medicinal mushroom extracts in powder form to the US nutritional supplement industry. At that time, no other company thought of using a medicinal mushroom in their product line. Jeff Chilton also reveals that his company tests every batch of each product they make. Medicinal Mushrooms Jeff Chilton traveled extensively in China during the 1990’s, attending conferences and visiting research facilities and mushroom farms. He eventually saw that in Asia, farmers were growing at least 12 different mushrooms for food and more for medicinal purposes. “Medicinal mushrooms, in general, are one of the best things you can use regarding prevention. That’s why they call it the tonic herb. A tonic herb is something you can take regularly. It works on your body as a whole. It’s an herb that helps you maintain certain homeostasis. It brings harmony to our body,” said Jeff Chilton.  Mushrooms do not have a lot of calories.  According to Jeff Chilton, mushrooms are 10 to 40% protein. Button mushrooms are close to 40% protein. On the other hand, Shiitake mushrooms are 20% protein. Jeff Chilton says it has a good complement of the essential amino acids. It is also high in high-quality carbohydrates which is mostly what a mushroom is made up. Busting Myths There is an impression that an extract means that you are isolating something out of the natural product and leaving everything else behind. Jeff Chilton says that is just not true. The way Jeff Chilton’s company makes it is that they make sure the extract has the same profile as the material itself. “If you talk to people who make their extracts, they are essentially taking everything out of that plant or mushroom. And their extract will have a profile that is just the same as the actual material,” said Jeff Chilton. “Nothing is being lost if the extract is made properly. In traditional Chinese medicine, hot water extraction is how they process their herbs.” He adds, “Mushrooms are also high in fiber. They are digested more in our intestine than our stomach. In effect, mushrooms are feeding our microbiome.” Alpha-Glucan Vs. Beta Glucan Jeff Chilton says alpha glucan is starch. And a beta glucan is very different from an alpha-glucan. He says mushrooms have no starch, but they produce glycogen just like humans. Their storage carbohydrate is glycogen. Not like plants where the storage carbohydrates are starch. “Most mushrooms are 25 to 60% beta glucan. And they have no starch. But the glycogen content is somewhere around one or two percent,” shares Jeff Chilton.  Not A Quick Fix Mushrooms in general, are there to work pretty much in the background. Jeff Chilton says it’s not an instant fix at all for something. So, if you’re taking mushrooms regularly and if you’re eating mushrooms, then they’re going to go to work for you. “The top-selling mushroom supplement product in North America is myceliated grain. There’s a really interesting compound in mushrooms called ergosterol,” Jeff Chilton explains. “Ergosterol is in all fungi, and it is a pro-vitamin D2. The myceliated grain products have one-tenth the amount of ergosterol they should have. That’s because there is very little fungal matter. So basically, you’re just getting a starch supplement.” Jeff Chilton furthermore explains that mushrooms are 90% water like most vegetables. When you dry out the mushroom, the supplements are dry. They’re not fresh. “As a mushroom grower, I know the economics. Back in the 90s, I realized I couldn’t grow mushrooms in North America and sell them as supplements because it is too expensive,” said Jeff Chilton. The Best Mushrooms Jeff Chilton says China produces 85% of the world’s mushrooms. And Asia consumes so much reishi mushrooms. Reishi mushrooms from China are shipped to Japan, Korea, Taiwan, and Southeast Asia. Plus, they’re consuming a lot of it in China itself. “Mushrooms are organisms that consume agricultural waste products. Most medicinal mushrooms are wood decomposers. If you want your mushrooms to produce those compounds that are so important, they need the precursors that are in that wood,” said Jeff Chilton. Mushroom Supplements Some people may not like the bitter flavor, so Jeff Chilton says it’s better to take it in capsule form. He says in other products like reishi coffee; you will always be getting only a small amount of the actual mushroom. Because it will have other things in there that will dilute that. “To me, the reishi coffee thing is like a gimmick. I put a reishi extract in my coffee instead,” said Jeff Chilton. “Reishi also has a compound called triterpenoids. Triterpenoids are good for your liver, and it helps the liver purify your blood. Research has also shown that it can kill certain types of tumor cells.”  He adds, “Nobody out there in the industry can do true clinical trials. There’s so much information we have about any herbal product is mostly anecdotal. It’s difficult to get clinical trial information because it’s so expensive.” Jeff Chilton says there was this one study which comprised monitoring nine people. The study cost four million dollars!  Website Resources Aside from Jeff Chilton’s official website Nammex, he encourages people to join societies where they could teach you all about mushrooms. Jeff Chilton’s site includes links of mushroom articles as well as his podcast guestings. On his other website Real Mushrooms, you’ll get access to his blog and online shop as well as delicious recipes about mushrooms. “People need to look at mushrooms as this wonderful world of fungi that can be part of your life and diet, medicinal regimen. Look at it positively. Mushrooms are a fabulous kingdom of organisms that we should get more acquainted with,” said Jeff Chilton.  Bio Jeff Chilton, raised in Pacific Northwest, studied ethnomycology at the University of Washington in the late sixties.

This week's blog was written by guest blogger Dusty Purcell.  Dusty is a Mycologist/Plant Pathologist who studied at the University of Florida.This is the ‘Green Gill Mushroom’, Chlorophyllum molybdites.  If you live in Pinellas County during the summer months, I am almost 100% certain that you have seen this mushroom. For several reasons, it is an excellent first mushroom to learn:1.  It has a cool name. Chlorophyllum molybdites.  Sound it out phonetically.  No one will dare correct your pronunciation. Trust me.2.  It is extremely conspicuous.  These large pale mushrooms, often in large groups, poke up through the grass on sunny lawns and golf courses.  You can spot them while driving down the road.3.  It is very common.  They pop up en mass around town every year during the warm and wet months.4.  It is highly distinctive.  As far as I know, this is the only gilled mushroom with green spores.  Mature mushrooms have green gills (hence the common name).5.  It is poisonous, being responsible for the majority of reported mushroom poisonings in Florida. Eating them can cause severe intestinal distress including cramps, vomiting, and diarrhea severe enough to require hospitalization. You’ll find green gills following rains during summer and fall.  They may be alone but are more often found in groups.  They often sprout from the ground arranged in a line, arc or circle.  These circular arrangements of mushrooms are called fairy rings, and they are not uncommon sights in large open grassy areas like those found in parks and golf courses.  ‘Why do they grow in a ring?’ you may ask.  Well, have you ever seen mold growing on a Petri dish or a slice of bread?  The mold colony grows out from its center as a round expanding colony.  The fungus that produces this mushroom grows through the soil of a lawn in the same way.  As it gets larger the old central part of the colony dies, leaving a ring of living fungal colony to produce mushrooms when the weather is right.  They won’t hurt your grass… in fact they help decay grass clippings and other organic material in the soil.  This frees up nutrients for your lawn to use.  If, however, you are concerned about little ones (e.g. children and dogs) who put things found on the ground in their mouths, you may want to remove them from your yard.  You can pick them, put them in a bag, and throw them away with the trash.  This won’t eliminate the fungus from your yard, more mushrooms will likely sprout from the fungus growing in the soil, but it will make the yard safe for grazing family members. On the left is an immature Green Gill mushroom.  The cap has not yet expanded to expose the gills. On the right is a slightly older specimen. The cap has begun to open, revealing the gills.  Notice the ring of tissue that was left behind on the stem where the margin of the cap had been attached.You can find a thorough technical description in a good field guide to mushrooms.  Here you will find a simple but workable description and some decent pictures.  A good specimen may be 6-10 inches tall with a cap about as big around when fully expanded.  A ring of tissue encircles the stalk somewhere in its upper third, and the cap has tan to brown patches or scales clinging to its upper surface.  The gills are densely arranged on the underside of the cap and are not attached to the stalk.  The gills are white at first, but turn gray-green as the spores are produced.  The cap, stalk and ring may be white in fresh young specimens but are usually pale tan and darken to a light brown as the mushroom ages.  The gills, too, may turn brown as the mushroom ages. The caps of these mushrooms have been folded back so you can get a good look at the color of the gills.  The one on the left is younger and still has white gills.  The specimen on the right is mature; the gills have turned green as they are now covered with mature spores.  Notice also how the stem has darkened with age.Young specimens, with their white gills, can easily be mistaken for mushrooms of the genera Lepiota and Macrolepiota.  Old mushrooms, with their brownish gills, may be confused with members of the genus Agaricus.  So, even this highly unique mushroom has look-alikes. However, mature fresh specimens, with their distinctive green gills, cannot be mistaken for any mushroom that I know of.  A spore print, as seen in the photo below, is also a reliable way to determine spore color and confidently identify this neat toadstool. This spore print was made from a fresh mushroom that still had white gills.  They are easy to make.  Just cut the stalk off of the mushroom and place the cap on a sheet of paper with the gills facing down.  It may take a while…  The heavy spore deposit here was made by placing a damp paper towel on top of the cap, setting an inverted bowl on top of it, and putting it in the refrigerator overnight.  The bowl and moist paper towel keep the mushroom cap from drying out.  Mushroom hunters make spore prints to determine the spore color for proper identification using field guides.References and further reading:Fairy Ring fact sheet from the University of FloridaCommon Florida Mushrooms by James Kimbrough
