Download or read book Mushrooms A Hidden Treasure written by M Syamala and published by JPS Scientific Publications, India. This book was released on 2021-05-22 with total page 136 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Mushroom is a plant constructed with no tissue structures. Which can be a unicellular or a multicellular organism. Although mushroom is a type of plant, they do not contain cellulose and chlorophyll. So, they cannot create their own nutrients, for self-survival and they must have to living on another plants or animals for absorb nutrition from them. We usually only see a part of mushrooms - look like shape of the fruits of the tree. Exactly, mushrooms typically look like umbrellas which have a stem (stipe), a cap (pileus). The contain mushroom seeds called spores. The body of the mushroom in called mycelium and its individual parts are microscopic. The body of the mushroom is dispersed over a relatively large areas and rarely noticed. Mushroom is most often applied to those fungi (Basidiomycota and Agaricomycetes). Include: Edible and poisonous species (Edible and poisonous mushrooms). India is the second most populous country of the world with a population of over 100 crores. Increase in population is creating an alarming situation in the food problem of India. Malnutrition in terms of `protein' deficiency is one of the major factors responsible for high mortality and morbidity in this country and other developing countries of the world. Due to population explosion (100 million/year) the problem of protein hunger will become more and more acute. Exploiting non-traditional food resources can make a substantial break-through - to meet the serious food deficit. Mushrooms, yeasts and algal foods are frequently mentioned as alternative sources of food. Of these, mushrooms are the most preferred. In the present circumstances, popularizing mushroom as part and parcel of everyday food is of paramount importance. Modern mushroom culture produces more protein per unit area of land than any other kind of agriculture and technology at present available. The use of mushrooms as food is probably as old as civilization itself. They have been a delicacy since ancient times. The Egyptians regarded them as a food for Pharaohs. The Greeks and Romans described them as 'food for the Gods" and were served only on festive occasions. Reference to mushrooms is found in Vedas. These were earlier preferred for their flavour and taste, while their nutritive value was recognized later. Mushrooms provide a rich addition to the diet in the form of proteins, carbohydrates, minerals and vitamins. The protein content of fresh mushrooms (3g/100g) is about 3.7 percent. It is twice as high as that in most vegetables except green peas, Brussels sprouts and pulses and is much lower to meat, egg, fish and cheese. They have a high percentage of all the nine essential amino acids. They are low in calories (less than 35 K calories per 100 g) with traces of sugar and without cholesterol. These are richer in vitamins (B1, B2, niacin, B12, pantothenic acid and vitamin C) than most vegetables and almost free from fat (0.2g/100g). They are also a good source of minerals like, phosphorus, potassium and iron. Thus, they serve a valuable source of nutritive and protective food.

Download or read book The Allure of Fungi written by Alison Pouliot and published by CSIRO PUBLISHING. This book was released on 2018-09-01 with total page 280 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although relatively little known, fungi provide the links between the terrestrial organisms and ecosystems that underpin our functioning planet. The Allure of Fungi presents fungi through multiple perspectives – those of mycologists and ecologists, foragers and forayers, naturalists and farmers, aesthetes and artists, philosophers and Traditional Owners. It explores how a history of entrenched fears and misconceptions about fungi has led to their near absence in Australian ecological consciousness and biodiversity conservation. Through a combination of text and visual essays, the author reflects on how aesthetic, sensate experience deepened by scientific knowledge offers the best chance for understanding fungi, the forest and human interactions with them.

Book excerpt: Fungi are an essential, fascinating and biotechnologically useful group of organisms with an incredible biotechnological potential for industrial exploitation. Knowledge of the world’s fungal diversity and its use is still incomplete and fragmented. There are many opportunities to accelerate the process of filling knowledge gaps in these areas. The worldwide interest of the current era is to increase the tendency to use natural substances instead of synthetic ones. The increasing urge in society for natural ingredients has compelled biotechnologists to explore novel bioresources which can be exploited in industrial sector. Fungi, due to their unique attributes and broad range of their biological activities hold great promises for their application in biotechnology and industry. Fungi are an efficient source of antioxidants, enzymes, pigments, and many other secondary metabolites. The large scale production of fungal pigments and their utility provides natural coloration without creating harmful effects on entering the environment, a safer alternative use to synthetic colorants.
