Mykologi, svampe (ikke-medicinsk)

Svampenes forunderlige liv er en vidunderlig bog om svampenes vidtrækkende rige skrevet af den britiske biolog Merlin Sheldrake. Der er noget fascinerende ved svampe. Hvad enten man tænker på dem, som vi kan finde i skoven eller i supermarkedet, eller dem der kan bruges til at fremstille penicillin og redde os fra alle mulige sygdomme, eller skimmelsvampe, der kan gøre os syge – eller gærsvampe, der bliver brugt til at lave øl, eller måske de magiske af slagsen, der kan ændre vores bevidsthedstilstand.Men hvad er de for nogle organismer? Merlin Sheldrake åbenbarer svampenes natur, sofistikerede eksistensform og muligheder for os. Det er overraskende og tankevækkende læsning. Nyere forskning tyder fx på, at svampe kan bruges til behandling af psykiske sygdomme som angst og depression, og der bliver arbejdet på at udvikle teknologi til at få svampe til at spise plastik, sprængstoffer og pesticider.Svampenes forunderlige liv henvender sig til et bredt publikum, den blander naturfortælling, videnskabsformidling, kulturhistorie og personlig beretning, og man er grundlæggende i godt selskab.  Bogen efterlader læseren både klogere, mere nysgerrig og fuld af forundring og med et udvidet verdenssyn.

Velkommen til svampenes hemmelige liv.I SVAMPENES RIGE er både en sansefest og den ideelle introduktion til svampenes utrolige verden, idet den:- afslører svampene, som de aldrig tidligere er vist- illustrerer svampenes rige variation gennem mere end 800 fotos- på let forståelig måde gennemgår svampenes biologi og økologi.Med svampeforsker Jens H. Petersens bog opnår svampene endelig den plads i vores bevidsthed, de fortjener.

Denne guide præsenterer dig for omkring 50 spiselige svampe, som du selv kan plukke i naturens overdådige forrådskammer. Teksten beskriver de enkelte svampes særlige kendetegn og voksesteder og eventuelle ”dobbeltgængere”, de kan forveksles med, samt giftige arter, så du undgår at plukke de forkerte svampe.Svampebeskrivelserne er ledsaget af naturtro tegninger, der fremhæver de enkelte svampes særlige træk, så de bliver nemmere at artsbestemme. Guiden har også tips og vejledning om, hvordan du bedst konserverer og bruger din høst, ligesom den kan benyttes i felten, da alle sider har en fugtbeskyttende overflade og kan aftørres med en fugtig klud. Anna-Elise Torkelsen er uddannet cand.real. med hovedfag i botanik. Hun har i mange år været daglig leder i Norges sopp- og nyttevekstforbund, og hun har skrevet flere bøger om svampe og afgrøder.Illustrationerne er tegnet af Hermod Karlsen, der er en af Norges førende inden for sit felt. Han har illustreret botaniske fagbøger siden 1983.

Det er dejligt at gå en tur i naturen og spændende at indsamle de svampe, der kan spises. Men det er ikke nemt at kende dem fra hinanden. Der er dog nogle, man hurtigt får lært, og som er ”sikre” spisesvampe – altså ikke giftige. Det er dem, der er medtaget i denne bog. De nemme svampe som f.eks. Kantarel, Spiselig Rørhat, Østershat og Mark-champignon er til at få lært, mens det vil være sikrere at få lidt hjælp og vejledning fra en svampekyndig til andre svampe.I 2. udgave er nogle navne opdateret og nye oplysninger om indholdsstoffer er medtaget.

Velkommen til et museum, der er fyldt med alverdens svampe! Her kan du finde en lang række forskellige arter af denne fascinerende type organisme. Tag en tur gennem museets udstillinger, når som helst du vil – det er altid åbent! Ledsaget af oplysende tekst indeholder kapitlerne smukke illustrationer af alle slags svampe, fra dem, vi ser på hylderne i supermarkedet, til andre, der har formet menneskets historie såsom den, der blev brugt til at skabe penicillin. Her får du en definitiv introduktion til svampe, hvordan de fungerer, og hvor vigtige de faktisk er for verdens økosystemer.

Kan man spise støvbolde, og kan man lave is med smag af gylden kantarel? Hvilken svamp smager næsten fuldstændig som kylling, når man tilbereder den?

Life in its many forms is intertwined in manifold ways. Making the coexistence of different beings and worlds tangible through an exploration of objects, stories and works of art, this book shows that in many regions of the earth, our co-world is experienced as an animated being. Mountains and rivers are not just resources or backdrops to human endeavors, but powerful sources of life; plants and animals are not just food, but companions; ancestors and spirits influence everyday life. Understood in this way, local perspectives and alternative forms of social coexistence provide pathways to shared futures. A great variety of international authors tell stories of interwoven lives that invite us empathically and informed to rethink our relationships with the world.

How the prized matsutake mushroom is remaking human communities in China--and providing new ways to understand human and more-than-human worlds What a Mushroom Lives For pushes today's mushroom renaissance in compelling new directions. For centuries, Western science has promoted a human- and animal-centric framework of what counts as action, agency, movement, and behavior. But, as Michael Hathaway shows, the world-making capacities of mushrooms radically challenge this orthodoxy by revealing the lively dynamism of all forms of life. The book tells the fascinating story of one particularly prized species, the matsutake, and the astonishing ways it is silently yet powerfully shaping worlds, from the Tibetan plateau to the mushrooms' final destination in Japan. Many Tibetan and Yi people have dedicated their lives to picking and selling this mushroom--a delicacy that drives a multibillion-dollar global trade network and that still grows only in the wild, despite scientists' intensive efforts to cultivate it in urban labs. But this is far from a simple story of humans exploiting a passive, edible commodity. Rather, the book reveals the complex, symbiotic ways that mushrooms, plants, humans, and other animals interact. It explores how the world looks to the mushrooms, as well as to the people who have grown rich harvesting them. A surprise-filled journey into science and human culture, this exciting and provocative book shows how fungi shape our planet and our lives in strange, diverse, and often unimaginable ways.

This contributory volume is a comprehensive account of recent research on extremophilic fungi.

The book aims at providing the audience in-depth and updated theoretical concepts, also application on the field. It will serve as a supplementary reading material in addition to basic mycology textbooks. The book fills the gap in literature and will be useful to the postgraduate students and researchers in the field of mycology, agriculture, biotechnology and Microbiology.

"Meetings with remarkable mushrooms are an all-year event for Australian ecologist Alison Pouliot. Bifurcating her life between the northern and southern hemispheres, she ensures that she experiences two autumns per year and has double the chances to find fungi. In this book, she uses visits around the world to show readers the diversity of this life-and makes the case that appreciating fungi is a key to understanding the power and fragility of our planet. With Pouliot as our guide, we learn that fire-loving truffles in the genus Mesophelia transform their scent after burning-from a sweet nut-like aroma into a stink like rotting onion-to lure mammals that excavate and eat these truffles, and then spread their spores. Or, with her, we spot the eerie glow of the ghost fungus. The ghost fungus looks like an edible oyster mushroom, but don't confuse them. If you put ghost fungus in your mouth, it will soon come back out, with everything else in your stomach. Or you might enjoy seeing vegetable caterpillars-neither vegetable nor caterpillar-but a fungus that eats arthropods from the inside out. Pouliot's focus on the global community of fungus experts, the importance of local knowledge, and the historic and current contributions of women in mycology all reinforce her message that understanding fungi is fundamental for us all"--

Plant mycobiome represents a diverse array of plant-associated communities of endophytic and epiphytic fungi. These communities fundamentally affect plant health, development, adaptation, and communication with the surrounding ecosystem. Furthermore, they have key roles in the establishment, diversification, productivity, and sustainability of different natural ecosystems. However, some of these communities are pathogenic for the plant itself or dangerous for the consumers, due to the production of mycotoxins. In other words, plant mycobiome represents two faces of a coin.This book aimed to explore contributions of the plant mycobiome in plant-environment interactions from different perspectives. Chapters of this book address numerous themes covering the recent advances in roles, diversity, and dynamics of these fungi as biocontrol agents, biofertilizers, growth promoters, and their secondary metabolites in the area of crop improvement for sustainability and biotechnology, as well as the plant pathogenic and toxigenic fungi. This book will be useful to postgraduate students, botanists, mycologists, ecologists, plant pathologists, and physiologists.

This book is a comprehensive guide to many important fungal species with a focus on their phytochemistry, potential sources of bioactive compounds, known chemistry and toxicology.

The shift of weather patterns has affected the incidence and prevalence of infectious diseases, including mycoses. Mycoses have remained neglected due to a lack of training and recognition within the medical community. Nonetheless, these diseases remain common worldwide while frequently being underdiagnosed. Climate change affects the distribution of fungal communities, provoking outbreaks in locations where these mycoses were absent or in low frequencies. Moreover, the reports of clinical cases related to new fungal pathogens have increased due to the description of new fungal species or due to the ability of some species to shift to new hosts. Thus, this book, The Impact of Climate Change on Fungal Diseases, is a contribution to the knowledge of a global environmental phenomenon and its relation to these diseases, and it serves as a guide for health professionals to dive deep into the repercussions of climate change and how they can implement measures for the prevention and control of fungal infections.

"Venture into the woods alongside a pioneering female naturalist. Very little is known about M. F. Lewis-not even her first name. Mysterious, prolific, and deeply enamored with the world of mushrooms, she left us a treasure trove of mycological illustrations. For over forty years, from 1860 to 1902, Lewis rambled across England and Wales, recording an astonishing biodiversity of fungi. Her delicately drawn, boldly colored images evoke the strange and powerful beauty of this kingdom. This handsome volume collects hundreds of Lewis's watercolors, contextualized by a foreword from mycologist Dr. Patricia Ononiwu Kaishian"--

This book introduces the Chinese boletes, including the history, ecological and economic values, as well as the geographical distribution patterns with a highlight on the Tylopilus species. Species in Tylopilus s.l. are not only of important ecological values but also of scientific interests. They are very diverse in morphology, complex in structure and wide in ecological niches. China is one of the diverse hotspots of boletes, and many boletes were traditionally treated as members of Tylopilus based on hymenophore or spore-print colour. The studies revealed that the traditionally defined Tylopilus is polyphyletic. This book aims to elucidate the phylogenetic relationships among the genera treated in Tylopilus s.l. previously; to delimit and recognize the taxa, and finally to reveal the diversity of the genera and species of Tylopilus s.l. in China. The book is intended to be a reference for biologists who conduct investigations of biological resources and biodiversity; university and college teachers and students carrying out studies in related fields; mycologists and amateur mycologists, or people who interested in mushrooms taxonomy and systematics; and workers in the development of non-timber forest products.

Med den rette viden kan en almindelig gåtur blive til en spændende jagt på naturlig mad og vilde smage. Spiselige planter kan findes overalt: i skoven, på overdrev og enge – og faktisk også i byen. I Vildplukket får du fakta om omkring 70 planter; hvor de kan findes, deres særlige kendetegn, og hvordan man bedst plukker, tilbereder og konserverer dem. Mange er vant til at samle kantareller, men repertoiret kan udvides til at omfatte meget mere af det, skoven og engen har at byde på i form af urter, blomster, blade, svampe og rødder. De vilde planter er de seneste par årtier kommet i søgelyset, da de indgår som råvarer i det, der kaldes nyt nordisk køkken. Planter, der længe er blevet regnet for ukrudt, har nu fået ny værdi og en plads i det moderne køkken. Niki Sjölund er vokset op i det sydlige Lapland med naturen som legeplads. Som kok har han arbejdet med vilde planter på restauranter som Ekstedt og Gro i Stockholm. Nikis interesse for naturens rene råvarer har ført til, at han i dag lever af at plukke vilde planter til en række af de bedste svenske restauranter. Niki Sjölund har også skrevet den populære Vilde svampe, som udkom i Danmark i 2021.
