Fungal Extremophile Transcriptomes on the Ion Torrent Proton

 

Prof. Dr. Sterflinger's work investigates the characteristics of a specific group of fungi called "extremophile". Her research focuses on understanding and isolating the features that make these fungi resistant to the harshest conditions on Earth. Prof. Dr. Sterflinger is also involved in many projects aiming at safeguarding precious historical art from bio-deterioration.

Fungus Cannon In Super Slow Motion - Slo Mo #35 - Earth Unplugged

 

This week the boys investigate one of the fastest things on the planet - a poo loving fungus. They have to use serious weaponry to actually get some perspective! Can a fungal spore get quicker out of the blocks than a bullet? Their investigation takes the camera to some of its highest frame rates yet!

Mexico's Magic Mushroom Tea

 

"Deep in the mountains of Oaxaca, Mexico natives have been using psilocybin mushrooms, or 'magic mushrooms' for thousands of years not as a drug, but as a medicine to heal both physical and mental disorders. We travel to San Jose Pacifico, Mexico to meet with a mushroom guide who shows us how he makes his famous mushroom tea which he serves to tourists from all over the world in seek of the sacred mushroom."

Article about the underwater mushies: http://www.opb.org/n...g-in-the-rogue/

 

 

The International Institute for Species Exploration has named its top new species discovered in 2010, and an Oregon mushroom, Psathyrella aquatica, is on the list. Aquatica is the first species of mushroom with gills that scientists have observed fruiting underwater.

 

Robert Coffan, an Adjunct Professor of water resources at Southern Oregon University, found the mushroom in 2005 while wading in the Rogue River on a visit with his family. Biologists at Southern Oregon University studied the mushroom and decided last year that it is a genetically unique species that grows in river gravels and on submerged logs, and wasn’t accidentally washed into the river.

 

Coffan says several things make the discovery of this new species particularly exciting.  Coffan wants to know how the species he discovered reproduces, given that gilled mushrooms usually reproduce using spores that travel through the air. And he says it raises the question of whether other species of gilled mushroom could be found in streams.

 

The mushroom has only been found in two locations on the upper Rogue River, about 1500 feet apart. Coffan is reluctant to say exactly where he’s found the species until more populations have been identified.

 

Here’s a BBC slideshow on the mushroom and the other new species highlighted by the IISE today.

The evolutionary concept has spread through the different branches of human knowledge and spread the spores of mushrooms. Each new season countless spores are released into the air by the mushroom kingdom. For a few days, every body tries to play to the best of their ability. The original strategy of these beings is to manufacture many possibilities of survival. Each of these reproductive cells bear a different fate. No fall both on the same site. The genetic code that each carries in its chromosome is unique. They may be very similar, almost identical, but some succeed and others (the majority) no.
