In video games using procedural world generation, the map seed is a (relatively) short number or text string which is used to procedurally create the game world ("map"). "). This means that while the seed-unique generated map may be many megabytes in size (often generated incrementally and virtually unlimited in potential size), it is possible to reset to the unmodified map, or the unmodified ...
Although many people have a fear of mushroom poisoning by "toadstools", only a small number of the many macroscopic fruiting bodies commonly known as mushrooms and toadstools have proven fatal to humans. This list is not exhaustive and does not contain many fungi that, although not deadly, are still harmful.
Termitomyces, the termite mushrooms, is a genus of basidiomycete fungi belonging to the family Lyophyllaceae. [3] All species in the genus are completely dependent on fungus-growing termites, the Macrotermitinae, to survive, and vice versa. [4]
Instead of seeds, mushrooms reproduce through spores. Spores can be contaminated with airborne microorganisms , which will interfere with mushroom growth and prevent a healthy crop. Mycelium , or actively growing mushroom culture, is placed on a substrate—usually sterilized grains such as rye or millet—and induced to grow into those grains.
Armillaria tabescens (also known as ringless honey mushroom) is a species of fungus in the family Physalacriaceae. It is a plant pathogen . The mycelium of the fungus is bioluminescent .
The distribution of coprophilous fungi is closely linked to the distribution of the herbivores on which they rely, such as rabbits, deer, cattle, horses and sheep. [2] Some species rely on a specific species for dung; for instance, Coprinus radiatus and Panaeolus campanulatus grow almost exclusively on horse feces, [6] while others, such as Panaeolus sphinctrinus, can grow on any feces or even ...
Amanita virosa is highly toxic, and has been responsible for severe mushroom poisonings. [7] Eating just one cap of A. virosa is enough to kill an adult human. [7] The symptoms of poisoning generally come several hours after consumption, a delay which may make treatment more difficult. Fruit bodies contain both amatoxins and phallotoxins.
This is the basis for the common recommendation to slice in half all puffball-like mushrooms picked when mushroom hunting. Mushroom hunters recommend that people know how to recognize both the death cap and the destroying angel in all of their forms before collecting any white gilled mushroom for consumption.
