Macrofungal Bibliography From Australia

This site has a short bibliography about mushrooms from Australia. As an aside, in a recent (summer 1995) visit to Sydney, Australia a look around all of the downtown bookstores netted me a total of one small field guide to the mushrooms of Australia. Even the large library in Sydney had only a few mushroom titles. One of the books mentioned that the study of mushrooms in Australia was in its infancy. Sounds like an excellent place for a budding (or would that be germinating) mycologist to focus on. Added: 1/1/96; Last verified: 5/18/96

Fungi Growing in a Cup

Sounds like one of those government funded studies that cost taxpayers millions of dollars. Yep, mold grows on coffee that's sat out too long. Added: 1/1/96; Last verified: 5/18/96

Rain Forest Mushrooms

No, this isn't a journey into the deep dark forests of Central or South America, but a trip to our own rain forest in the Olympic National Forest of Washington state. This site just contains a few pictures of unidentified mushrooms taken while on a trip through the forest. One of the pictures labeled "Angel of Death" appears to be an Amanita gemmata which is very common in the Pacific Northwest. Added: 1/1/96; Last verified: 5/18/96

A Quick Look at Morels

Here's someones web page with a picture of some Morels that he found in May of 1995. He has a few short sentences about his love for Morels. That about sums it up. Perhaps we'll see more after May of 1996. Added: 12/16/95; Last verified: 5/18/96

Morel Mushrooms - From the Natural Environment of Western Canada

A very thorough article on harvesting Morel mushrooms (specifically in Canada). The pictures that are included here are top notch. Very well worth the trip if you're interested in Morels or in commerical mushroom picking. Added: 5/18/96; Last verified: 5/18/96

The Mushroom Council

Here is a very interesting new site that includes the following categories to expore: Retail Trade, Industry Information, Foodservice News, Shopper's Guide and Press Box. This site appears to be geared towards the commercial sector (it is an industry funded organization) and is very nicely done. Even if you have no interest in how to display mushrooms in your store for maximum sales, visit this site for entertainment. Added: 5/18/96; Last verified: 5/18/96
