fungus: Encyclopedia - Bracket fungus

Bracket fungi, or shelf fungus, are fungi of the family Polyporaceae, notable for bearing fruiting bodies (conk) as or in a "bracket": a grouping of individual mushroom caps that lie in a close planar grouping of separate or interconnected horizontal rows. Brackets can range from only a single row of a few caps, to dozens of rows of caps that can weigh several hundred pounds. They are typically tough and sturdy and produce their spores on the tubes of the undersurface. Many types of bracket fungi are also polypores. Bra ...

fungus: Encyclopedia - Cup fungus Cup fungi are fungi (Ascomycota: Family Pezizaceae) which produce a mushroom that tends to grow in the shape of a "cup". Spores are formed on the inner surface of this fruiting body (mushroom). The cup shape typically serves to focus raindrops into splashing spores out of the cup. Additionally, the curvature enables wind currents to blow the spores out in a different manner than in most agarics and boletes Cup fungi grow in peculiar shapes, frequently resembling cups or saucers. For example, the orange peel fungus, which looks ...

fungus: Encyclopedia II - Fungus - Overview

Although often inconspicuous, fungi occur in every environment on earth and play very important roles in most ecosystems. Some fungi are major decomposers of dead plant and animal matter in forests and many other environments. Some types of fungi are parasites on plants and animals, including humans. They are responsible for numerous diseases, such as athlete’s foot and ringworm in humans and Dutch elm disease in plants. Other fungi are partners in symbiotic relationships with other organisms. For example, lichens are formed by a symbiotic relationship between algae or cyanobacteria and fungi. Most vascular plants benefit from a symbi ...

fungus: Encyclopedia - Wine fault

A wine fault or defect is an unpleasant characteristic of a wine resulting from poor winemaking or storage. Faults can be loosely grouped into three main categories: Wine fault - Oxidation. Oxygen plays a critical role in the production and aging of wine, but its interaction with it must be carefully managed. The following by-products of fermentation and their characteristic aromas are always present in well-made wines—and are responsible for pleasant aromas in low quantities—but are cons ...

fungus: Encyclopedia - Beauveria bassiana

Beauveria bassiana is a fungus which grows in soils throughout the world and causes disease in various insects by acting as a parasite. It is used as an insecticide to control a number of pests such as termites, and its use in the control of the malaria-causing mosquitos is under investigation. The disease caused by the fungus is white muscardine disease. When spores of the fungus come into contact with the body of an insect host, they germinate, enter the body, and grow inside, eventually killing the insect. Afte ...

fungus: Encyclopedia - Verticillium

Verticillium is a wilt-causing fungus that attacks many plants such as tomatoes, potatoes, eggplants, and peppers. It is similar to fusarium. Both fungi are difficult to control. Crop rotation, the use of resistant varieties labeled VF or VFN, and weed control are major factors in controlling them.

fungus: Encyclopedia - Mushroom

A mushroom (Old English muscheron, from the Old French mouscheron, French mousseron (same name in English, for a common kind of mushroom), itself perhaps from mousse, meaning moss) is an above-ground fruiting body (that is, a spore-producing structure) of a fungus, having a shaft and a cap; and by extension, the entire fungus producing the fruiting body of such appearance, the former consisting of a network (called the mycelium) of filaments or hyphae. In a much broader sense, mushro ...

fungus: Encyclopedia - Microbiology

Microbiology (in Greek micron = small and biologia = studying life) is the study of microorganisms, including viruses, viroids, prions, prokaryotes and simple eukaryotes (e.g. molds and fungi). Microbes represent ideal model systems for study due to the fact that many can be grown quickly and easily in genetically uniform cultures (e.g. agar), which allows for the production of biological materials (e.g. protein or DNA) in reasonable quantities quickly, safely and inexpensively. However, viruses, viroids, and prions cann ...

fungus: Encyclopedia - Black Sigatoka

Black Sigatoka is a leaf spot disease of banana plants caused by fungus Mycosphaerella fijiensis Morelet. Plants with leaves damaged by the disease may have up to 50% lower yield of fruit. In commercial export plantations, Black Sigatoka is controlled by frequent applications of fungicides. Removal of affected leaves, good drainage, and sufficient spacing also help to fight the disease. Although fungicides improved over the years, the pathogen developed resistance. Therefore higher frequency of application is required, increasing the impact ...

fungus: Encyclopedia - Allomerus decemarticulatus

Allomerus decemarticulatus is a species of ant that is notable for its tripartite symbiosis with its host plant and a fungus, which it uses to ambush much larger prey such as locusts. Writing in Nature, entomologist Alain Dejean and coworkers describe how the ants take hair from the host plant (Hirtella physophora) and bind it together with a purpose-grown fungal mycelium (a complex of sooty mould species). They do this in order to make a galleried platform for trapping l ...
