Hey guys, I am still having problems with the references! When I follow the instructions, it recognizes each referencing as a new reference. So for example in the Magic Mushrooms, it says I have 11 references when I should only actually have 4! If i re-use a reference it doesn't recognize that. Anybody know how to fix this? | Hey guys, I am still having problems with the references! When I follow the instructions, it recognizes each referencing as a new reference.

- | For now, for both magic mushrooms and shaggy mane, ive just put my references in the references as they should be. If anyone knows how to fix them just let me know and i'll fix them. I will not have internet as of 11 am today, but I will get to a computer tonight or tomorrow morning (early) and I could then make my changes to the references. Just let me know. | + | For now, for both magic mushrooms and shaggy mane, ive just put my references in the references as they should be.

Seperate page has been formed for Poisonous and Hallucinogenic Mushrooms, just click on the link under our introduction and you can copy paste your work on the new page with the same wiki format. Angel of Death has been copied as an example but not moved from the main page.
Table Formation: Still experimenting with creating our tables (if at all possible), in the mean time feel free to post the following on your species until we agree on a general format:
Kingdom:
Phylum:
Class:
Order:
Genus:
Species:
Topics
Example of end product presentation : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edible_mushroom
Still require:
- 1. Commercial cultivation process, influence of temp, moisture, and CO2 at various levels (Sub-heading similar to what we've done for species) (Ondre)
- 2. Introduction to Edible fungi (All contribute, take best of)
- 3. Creation of secondary page for poisonous mushrooms and false morrels, complete with general introduction (Dave)
- 4. Link videos for mushrooms (ex cooking chicken in the woods) from main page to secondary page (Any videos)
- 5. Fungi nutritional value (Nutritional source and production)(Katherine)
- 6. More content for chicken in the woods (Katherine)
- 7. Tables for each species outlining Phylum, Class, Order, ect. (All Genus)
Commitments
I am researching Morels - Susan
laetiporus conifericola "chicken of the woods"- katherine
Magic mushrooms and shaggy mane - Kirsti
Destroying angel - Berivan
I'm doing truffle - Karolina
Pleurotus ostreatus and Agaricus brunnescens - Dave -Also if anyone is still looking for something to research it would be cool if we found something on cyclopeptide poisoning (active poison in the false angel and closely related species) and gyromitra toxins (active poison in false morrels)
Changed the introduction so it is above the table of contents as is the standard wiki template - Anthony
Introduction Paragraphs
Here is where everyone will get the opportunity to post their preliminary introduction paragraphs for the information presented on our wiki, with the final including as much as possible from the initial drafts. Don't forget to sign your name at the bottom!
Looks really good Berivan! It looks like you did a lot for this. I made some personal suggestions just in between the quotations. But it looks really good. Kirsti
introduction (I have done this, but I am not sure if its long enough-Berivan)
Fungi provide essential support for all communities of multicellular organisms. Fungi recycle the biomass of wood and leaves, including substances such as lignin, which other organisms may not be able to digest (Foster, John. W. et al, 2009). Underground fungal filaments called mycorrhizae extend the root systems of most plants, which form nutrition, that interconnect that plant community.
Fungi as ferments plant materials, meanwhile pathogenic fungi infect plants and animals (Foster, John. W. et al, 2009).
which form nutrition, that interconnect....i think should say network rather than nutrition. The last sentence i think is a little confusing, I think I would word it a little differently. Maybe say: Fungi are capable of fermenting plant material, as well as being pathogenic to both plant and animal species
At the tip of a fungal hypha, the cell membrane expands by incorporating vesicles, which are generated by the endoplasmic reticulum. When the vesicle fuses, it provides phospholipids and proteins to extend its membrane surface area, which allows the cytoplasm to expand rapidly (Foster, John. W. et al, 2009). The absorption zone for hypha is right behind its tip. The absorption zone takes in nutrients from the neighboring medium. It is also important to notice that, behind the absorption zone, the older part of the hypha collect and stores nutrition as well (Foster, John. W. et al, 2009). Fungi have number of different species. Each species of fungi shows different forms, from the common mushrooms, fruiting bodies that can weigh several pounds, to the mycelia of pathogens and the symbiotic partners of algae in lichens (Foster, John. W. et al, 2009).
Fungi have number of different species. Each species of fungi shows different forms, from the common mushrooms, fruiting bodies that can weigh several pounds, to the mycelia of pathogens and the symbiotic partners of algae in lichens.....I think I would make this into one sentence: There is an extensive number of fungal species, with each species differing in form, from the common mushrooms, fruiting bodies that can weigh several pounds, to the mycelia of pathogens and the symbiotic partners of algae in lichens.
Fungi have four major phyla; such phylum includes Basidiomycota, Zygomycota, Ascomycota and Chytridiomycota.
Basidiomycetes have cells that are paired nuclei and form mushrooms. They are well known for their exceptional size and diversity of above ground fruiting bodies known as “true” mushrooms (Foster, John. W. et al, 2009). Mushrooms offer a flavorful source of protein and minerals, albeit at the risk of consuming the deadly toxins, which are produced by some species. The protein content of edible mushrooms can be as high as 25% dry weight, similar to that of whole milk (per dry weight), and includes all essential dietary amino acids (Foster, John. W. et al, 2009).
It is important to notice that some mushrooms produce deadly poisons such as alpha-amanitin, which inhibits RNA polymerase 2. Alph-amanitin is produced by Amanita, known as “Destroying Angel”; its taste is often fatal. Other mushrooms include Portobello, which is one of the more priced mushrooms around the world (Foster, John. W. et al, 2009). Different types of mushrooms grow in different season, some grow in soil, while others such as Piptoporus grows on tree bark.
