Find It! in DOL Department of Labor Fact Sheet on Natural Disaster Recovery: Fungi Flood conditions contribute to the growth and transmission of many kinds of fungi, some of which can cause sickness. Cleanup workers are at increased risk of exposure to airborne fungi and their spores because they often handle moldy building materials, decaying vegetable matter, rotting waste material, and other fungus-contaminated debris. The fungal material is carried into the respiratory tract when airborne dust particles are inhaled. There are many different kinds of fungi, including mildew, molds, rusts, and yeasts. Most of these are harmless, but some can cause respiratory and other disorders when workers inhale or come into contact with fungi. Inhalation is the route of exposure of most concern to flood cleanup workers. The recommendations below offer strategies for workers renovating flooded buildings, homes, and structures to protect themselves while handling building materials that are visibly contaminated with fungi. For workers cleaning up flooded buildings, homes, and other structures, excessive moisture or water accumulation indoors will encourage the growth of the fungi that are already present. Some fungi have the potential to cause adverse health effects such as allergic responses and asthma attacks. Individual who are sensitive to molds may have signs and symptoms of allergic reactions such as nasal stuffiness, eye irritation, and wheezing. These individuals should minimize fungal exposure by wearing respirators, gloves, and eye protection. They should also seek to eliminate fungi, as described below.

These fungi are very specific to insects, often to particular species, and do not infect animals or plants. Fungal growth is favored by moist conditions but fungi also have resistant stages that maintain infection potential under dry conditions. Fungi have considerable epizootic potential and can spread quickly through an insect population and cause its collapse. Because fungi penetrate the insect body, they can infect sucking insects such as aphids and whiteflies that are not susceptible to bacteria and viruses. Several fungal species have potential as microbial insecticides and, in some countries, are commercially available in formulations that can be applied using conventional spray equipment.

Fungi Note - Many of the photographs below are linked to larger photographs. Click on a photographs if you wish to view an enlargement. Nutrition Fungi (kingdom Fungi) are heterotrophs . They cannot manufacture their own food as photosynthetic organisms can. Most species of fungi are saprotrophic ; they decompose dead matter. Many are parasitic ; they obtain nutrients from living organisms. Fungi are the principle decomposers in every ecosystem. They can break down most organic compounds including lignin, a compound that is a major component of of wood and is very difficult to break down or digest. Some species are parasites and others are mutualistic They have extracellular digestion by secreting enzymes into environment and absorbing the nutrients produced. Fungi store their food as glycogen (like animals). Plants and green algae store their food as starch. Structure Yeasts are single-celled but most fungal species are multicellular. Multicellular fungi are composed of filaments called hyphae (singular: hypha).

Mushrooms and fungi are a subject close to my heart. Whenever I take a stroll through my local woodland area, I'm always on the lookout for new and interesting species, and if I find one, I am reluctant to identifying it. The aim of this website is to share my experience of mushrooms and fungi with you. Though my knowledge on the subject isn't brilliant (I'm only an amateur), I know enough to get by! Anyway, have a look through my pages, and enjoy. What is Fungi? The Lifecycle of a Mushroom Structure of a Mushroom Edible and Poisonous Fungi ... Strange Fungi Pics FUNGI ATTACK!...coming soon! Discussion Board Fungi Links NEWS UPDATE - 01.07.02 .... Work on the site has kicked off big time this week, so expect the transition any day now. Keep popping back for updates! font> NEWS UPDATE - 18.03.02 .... Well now, in the last 3 weeks, work has been underway on changing the website. Now this is no simple update, but a massive overhaul of the whole thing. We're talking a familiar new look, new features that will be added constantly and more. All pages are being refurbished to properly display on more people's browsers (changing html to frontpage). The major change though will occur last which is the Jersey photos section which I have big plans for. Also, due to the constant server problems which caused problems with access to the site, I am in the process of transfering the site to a new host. So, expect a new look SIMPLY FUNGI any day now!!! NEWS UPDATE - 15.11.01 ....It has come to my attention that people are having problems accessing the site recently. This is due to excessive traffic resulting in temporary shut downs of the site! As this is happening almost daily, the site is having to move to a different host with extra traffic limits. More info on when this will occur soon.

35. FUNGI I In many fungi the mycelium will form special structures in which nuclei will fuse to form diploid cells. These undergo meiosis to form haploid spores which http://hcs.osu.edu/hcs300/fungi.htm

Site Index FUNGI What is a fungus? Most people see a mushroom as a plant, but close examination shows that there are fundamental differences: The fungi are all heterotrophic They have a filamentous cell structure that is essentially undifferentiated They have chitin cell walls rather than cellulose This is why they are included in their own kingdom which in some ways is closer to animals than plants. For example insect and other arthropod skeletons are made of chitin. Fungal Hyphae A single fungal filament is called a hypha (plural hyphae). The chitin cell wall encloses a cytoplasm that may be undivided (Zygomycetes - molds), partially divided by perforated cross-walls (Ascomycetes - morels, cup fungi, blue molds) or fully divided (Basidiomycetes - mushrooms). The cytoplasm contains one or more haploid nuclei. If there are no cross-walls the cell structure is is said to be "coenocytic" . Many basidiomycetes have hyphae built up of uninucleate cells. The yeasts are exceptional among the Ascomycetes in that they are usually uninucleate and unicellular (non-filamentous). Hyphae grow at their tips and branch to form a mass of interwoven strands that is called mycelium . This is a culture of Pythium isolated from Taxus In many fungi the mycelium will form special structures in which nuclei will fuse to form diploid cells. These undergo meiosis to form haploid spores which can be transported over huge distances.

36. Taming Wild Mushrooms Information on hunting mushrooms safely. Includes rules, recommended books, and photographs of edible and toxic fungi. http://www.cris.com/~Czere/mush1.shtml

morchella deliciosa Welcome to Ralph's Finest Fungi Fancier File "There are old mushroom hunters, and there are bold mushroom hunters, but there are no old, bold mushroom hunters" Welcome to our mushroom home page. Attached are pages covering our personal mushroom safety rules , terse reviews of books about mushroom hunting, our family favorites , and some (hopefully recent) foray reports , and some links to other mushroom sites. While many people up here in Michigan hunt wild mushrooms, most only hunt morels. This tends to limit their local season to the two weeks between sprouting and rotting during the month of May. It causes them to miss out on an incredible array of great flavors and textures. As amateur hobbyists, my wife and I have developed a list of favorite species, our own rules for trying out new species, and opinions about what makes for preferable and less helpful mushroom texts. Please be patient with us, it's a struggle to get digitized the best of over a thousand otherwise mediocre 35mm slides of mushrooms to better adorn these pages. Mushroom hunting is a true sport: The fungi DO have an equal chance to win. If we are correct in our identification, at very best we win a tasty side-dish, or an optimally seasoned main course. On the other hand, if we are not correct, we win repeated trips to the head, maybe a trip to the emergency room, and in the extreme, a trip to the morgue.

To carry out this investigation the researchers analyzed blood samples looking for antibodies against yeasts, as well as different fungal components such as proteins and DNA. These results indicate the existence of a disseminated mycosis in most of the analyzed patients which suggests that retinopathies like AZOOR and Serpiginous choroiditis are caused by fungal infections. Looking for treatments based on current anti fungal drugs could offer great benefits for these patients. The clinical studies about the effects of anti fungal compounds in the evolution of these patients will be crucial to determine whether the presence of mycosis is the cause of the loss of visual acuity. Future investigations by Dr. Luis Carrasco's research group will lean towards the improvement of diagnosis techniques for fungal infections and the cause of other retinopathies. These techniques will also be useful for the analysis of the evolution and effectiveness of the possible anti fungal treatments that are implemented with these patients.

EODE Guidelines on Assessment and Remediation of Fungi in Indoor Environments Executive Summary Introduction Health Issues Environmental Assessment ... Acknowledgments Executive Summary On May 7, 1993, the New York City Department of Health (DOH), the New York City Human Resources Administration (HRA), and the Mt. Sinai Occupational Health Clinic convened an expert panel on Stachybotrys atra in Indoor Environments. The purpose of the panel was to develop policies for medical and environmental evaluation and intervention to address Stachybotrys atra (now known as Stachybotrys chartarum (SC)) contamination. The original guidelines were developed because of mold growth problems in several New York City buildings in the early 1990's. This document revises and expands the original guidelines to include all fungi (mold). It is based both on a review of the literature regarding fungi and on comments obtained by a review panel consisting of experts in the fields of microbiology and health sciences. It is intended for use by building engineers and management, but is available for general distribution to anyone concerned about fungal contamination, such as environmental consultants, health professionals, or the general public. We are expanding the guidelines to be inclusive of all fungi for several reasons: Aspergillus, Penicillium, Fusarium, Trichoderma

Nathan 's Fungi Page My interest in fungi started when I was 10 years old. A neighbor told us that we had chanterelles growing on our property in Humboldt county California. My mother had collected mushrooms with her mother and my grandmother's good friend Margaret McKenny . After eating the chanterelles that my mother recognized, we got some books and the rest is history. My interest in computers has led me to create several mushroom related websites including the Santa Cruz Fungus Fair Site and, in collaboration with Elio Schaechter, A Mycological Voice From the Past , which celebrates an early work on Phallus by Hadrianus. My current projects include Taxonomic Changes for Mushroom Field Guides and the Fungus Species Lists Site I have taken photos of fungi for many years some of which have been online for a while.
