Download or read book Mushrooms Humans and Nature in a Changing World written by Jesús Pérez-Moreno and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2020-04-28 with total page 480 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book focuses on recent advances in our understanding of wild edible mycorrhizal fungi, truffle and mushrooms and their cultivation. In addition to providing fresh insights into various topics, e.g. taxonomy, ecology, cultivation and environmental impact, it also demonstrates the clear but fragile link between wild edible mushrooms and human societies. Comprising 17 chapters written by 41 experts from 13 countries on four continents, it enables readers to grasp the importance of protecting this unique, invaluable, renewable resource in the context of climate change and unprecedented biodiversity loss. The book inspires professionals and encourages young researchers to enter this field to develop the sustainable use of wild edible mushrooms using modern tools and approaches. It also highlights the importance of protecting forested environments, saving species from extinction and generating a significant income for local populations, while keeping alive and renewing the link between humans and wild edible mushrooms so that in the future, the sustainable farming and use of edible mycorrhizal mushrooms will play a predominant role in the management and preservation of forested lands.
Download or read book Taming the Truffle written by Ian Robert Hall and published by Timber Press (OR). This book was released on 2007 with total page 304 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Whether the world's best truffles are found in Piedmont or Perigord inspires impassioned debate, but the effects of dwindling supply and insatiable demand for the elusive, ultimate mushroom are unquestionable: prices through the roof, intrigue and deception, and ever more intensive efforts to cultivate. The secrets of when, how, and where to collect truffles have benn passed from generation to generation since ancient times, but artificial cultivation remains the holy grail. Here in the most comprehensive practical treatment of the gastronomic treasure to date, the art and science of the high-stakes pursuit come together. Their enthusiasm and expertise leavened with wry humor, the authors explore the newest techniques; they describe the commercial species in detail along with their host plants, natural habitats, cultivation and mintenance, pests and diseases, and harvesting with pigs, dogs, truffle flies, and even the electronic nose. Pursuit of the fungus that costs more than gold is not for the faint of heart nor for those in a hurry, as under ideal conditions, truffle production in artificial truffieres can begin after three years but results may not be seen until a decade after planting, and maximum yields not for another decade still. So there is time to read and prepare, and no better source than this one.
Download or read book Edible Ectomycorrhizal Mushrooms written by Alessandra Zambonelli and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-01-30 with total page 410 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Edible ectomycorrhizal mushrooms (EEMMs) comprise more than 1000 species and are an important food and forest resource. In this volume of Soil Biology, internationally recognized scientists offer their most recent research findings on these beguiling fungi. Topics covered include: complex ecological interactions between plants, EEMMs, and soil organisms; comparative genomics, high-throughput sequencing and modern research tools; genetic selection of fungal strains and techniques for inoculating plants; economic and social considerations surrounding wild collected EEMMs; and practical information concerning soil management and EEMM cultivation. The book will be a useful guide for anyone interested in soil ecology, forestry, or the genetics and cultivation of EEMMs, and provides an extensive knowledge base and inspirations for future studies on these ecologically and economically important fungi.
Download or read book Japanese Forestry and Its Implications written by R. Fenton and published by . This book was released on 2005 with total page 366 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One feature of forestry is the relative ignorance of foresters about what they are growing. This is often reinforced by lack of market interest and utilisation experience. This book intends to bridge these gaps of knowledge. Triggered by the author's economic analyses in the late 1960s, New Zealand forestry policy changed from 25 per cent of production for export to over 70 per cent. At the same time the Establishment had rejected the silvicultural approach the author had evolved which questioned certain fundamentals of conventional forestry. At that time, Japan had been taking up to 25 per cent of New Zealand's total log production, but there was no real understanding of the Japanese market. To study this in-depth, the author spent three years in Japan. The book contains the valuable research born out of his field work there, covering the marketing as well as the silviculture, sawnwood-grades and economic sides of plantation forestry. The book also included almost 40 photographs taken by the author on the various forest species in Japan. TARGET AUDIENCE: Policy makers, researchers, tertiary students, civil servants, local government officials and all those interested in silviculture, Japanese forestry and timber industry.
