British Edible Fungi

Some Edible and Poisonous Fungi

Research of Edible Fungi in Shanghai

The modern edible fungi study in China was originated in Shanghai. The Edible Fungi Institute (EFI) under the Shanghai Academy of Agricultural Science has made many breakthroughs in the Chinese edible fungi study. EFI has succeeded in getting pure spawns, has diversified the cultivation varieties of edible fungi by domesticating wild mushrooms, and has developed the bag cultivation technology. ...

Commonwealth contributions and British requirement of edible fats and oils.

CONFERENCE PROCEEDINGS I950 supply are not likely to be restored to us. If the food subsidies are greatly reduced, and dairy produce and other foods are sold at something more nearly approaching the Cost of production, I doubt whether the consumption of butter will ever return to its prewar level, but the demand for butter will certainly continue to be greater than the present available supply....

Trait-dependent distributional shifts in fruiting of common British fungi

Despite the dramatic phenological responses of fungal fruiting to recent climate warming, it is unknown whether spatial distributions of fungi have changed and to what extent such changes are influenced by fungal traits, such as ectomycorrhizal (ECM) or saprotrophic lifestyles, spore characteristics, or fruit body size. Our overall aim was to understand how climate and fungal traits determine w...

Species richness of the parasitic fungi of british trees.

The species richness of fungi associated with British trees is described by a significant species/area curve (r = 0.53, 0.01 > P > 0.001). Introduced tree species cannot be shown to have fewer fungal species than natives, per unit distributional range about Britain. Also, among natives and among introductions, older host taxa do not have more fungal species than do younger ones. This indicates ...
