We report the case of a young man who developed severe asthma a few months after starting work in a factory producing a single type of mushroom: Pleurotus cornucopiae (a basidiomycete). Immunological investigations, performed with material recovered from the filtering devices of the mushroom's bed, led to demonstration of specific IgE and IgG against spore extracts and to isolation of one discr...

Matsutake is a group of economically important wild mushrooms. It contributes greatly to local economy and livelihoods in many places of the world. The management and sustainable use of this resource is gaining increasing attention in NW-Yunnan, one of the most productive areas for Matsutake in the world. In the paper, we provide an overview to the value, nature of matsutake and its distributio...

This study analyses the Andalusian mycobiota (Agaricales, Boletales, Russulales) from a biogeographical standpoint. For this, the best-represented groups of macrofungi have been selected, including ectomycorrhizal and saprotrophic species, to discover whether their chorological behaviour is different or similar. Locations in a number of important chorological sectors in Andalusia have been samp...

We study the dynamics of one-particle and few-particle billiard systems in containers of various shapes. In few-particle systems, the particles collide elastically both against the boundary and against each other. In the one-particle case, we investigate the formation and destruction of resonance islands in (generalized) mushroom billiards, which are a recently discovered class of Hamiltonian s...

In the present study, six species of Basidiomycetes all belonging to the genus Agaricus are reported for the first time from Iran along with details of macroscopic and microscopic characteristics. Six species are as follows: Agaricus campestris, A. lalage, A. nigrovinosus, A. nivescens, A. purpurellus and A. silvaticus.
