The World Wide Web is easy to get tangled in. I started out looking at photos of the Moon transiting Earth, as seen from space! And I ended up reading about False Morels. From there I started wondering about what the far side of the Moon looks like, since I haven’t really bothered to commit it [...]

According to researchers, Mushrooms, being highly rich in nutrients, antioxidants, and vitamins, help fight cancer.

Recently I got a new enamel-coated-cast-iron pan that I'm quite infatuated with. This pan is so heavy and conducts heat so well that I thought I'd try using it to make pot roast on top of the stove, something I never did before because I didn't have the type of heavy dutch oven you need to cook a roast this way. I used boneless chuck roast, rubbed it with some steak rub, and seasoned the liquid wi

Orellanine is a nephrotoxic (nephros is Greek for kidney, you do the math) dipyridine possessing positively charged nitrogen atoms that is produced by several species of mushrooms belonging to the genus Cortinarius. Members of this genus are gilled mushrooms that grow in association with plants (i.e. are mycorrhizal) and have their gills protectively covered by a cottony cortina (veil or curtain,

Ah, the dichotomy of mycophagy. That statement sounded pretty darn impressive, didn't it? Admit it, you were a little impressed.

This meal could have also been called 'Really Simple Food That Speaks For Itself'. I am always amazed at how good veggies are when roasted. They don't need anything, just a bit of salt.

Brett and I raved about this and were also happy with how good s

Mushrooms belong to the Fungi group. They are fleshy plants that grow from decaying materials. They need the nutrients that they get from the decay because they do not have chlorophyll. This means that they cannot produce their own food. They usually grow in the more temperate regions of the world and during the seasons when the weather is warm and moist. Mushrooms can most likely be found in past

Recycling can be a difficult business, and big grocery stores don't make it easy. Whilst I can just about understand the Health and Safety reasons for wrapping up every vegetable in the fearful UK, there are some things that are just plain confounding. For instance, the following information given on my mushroom bag:This packaging can not be recycled. But because we care about the environment we are working on it.Clearly, Morrisons has not quite caught onto that not-so-modern concept of paper packaging. The ancient Egyptians used it, many other stores use it, but not Morrisons. For some unfathomable reason, they put a thin sliver of plastic in the bag, presumably so you can keep an eye on your mushrooms, just to make sure they are safe.This really is one of the strangest things I have seen

Both the reishi mushroom and green tea have long held places in traditional Chinese medicine. Recent scientific studies have confirmed that both enhance the body¹s immune functions and hold the potential for treatment and prevention of many types of cancer. Two new studies have found that combining the active ingredients in the mushroom and the tea creates synergetic effects that inhibit the growth of tumors and delay the time of death in mice with sarcomas. In one study, mice with sarcoma given both reishi mushroom extract and green tea extract survived longer than those only give reishi mushroom extract. In the second study, mice given the combination therapy showed a reduction in tumor weight of 45 percent with, a much greater reduction than mice given only reishi extract or no treatme

House Democrats assail budget; passage in doubtUpon learning fresh details of the compromise budget deal, many House lawmakers are declaring that they can't be for it.Some are upset at what they call paltry raises for state employees and teachers. Other have lambasted the treatment of coal severance tax revenue that generally goes to coal-producing counties for projects. And many are frustrated that they voted for a bill that increased some taxes in order to bolster the spending for health and education programs and projects and feel like now the budget contains little of that."I have a real problem with it," said Rep.

Fight Oil Spills with MushroomsIn the war against ocean pollution, environmentalists have a new ally in mushrooms. As nature’s morticians, mushrooms have the unique ability to take dead things and make them pretty again by turning decomposed matter into nutrients. In fact, they’re so adept at tearing down and rebuilding chemical compounds that even oil spills are no match for their natural abilities.In November 2007, when an oil tanker sprang a leak in San Francisco Bay, 58,000 gallons of oil seeped into the water and beaches. A group of local activists decided to take the cleanup into their own hands, using a technique originally developed to dispose of used motor oil. They headed for the shore and laid out mats made of human hair that were covered in oyster mushrooms. The hair quickl

It is true indeed, I love them! I love going out and picking the up. Since I was very little, my father was taking me out and teaching me which ones are good ones and which ones I shouldn’t touch. Now I am an expert. Anyway, the ones on the picture are the good ones!

My second butternut showcase is a bit less in-your-face. I wanted to make raw stuffed mushrooms, inspired by Leslie Bega's recipe at GLiving. By raw, I don't mean completely unprocessed, as I used my dehydrator to soften the mushrooms, and make them juicier. The result is warm and soft in the mouth, with flavor bursting in every bite. The paté is creamy, tangy, and spicy. I'm hooked!I'd made a big bowl of julienned squash with my mandolin for a salad earlier that day, so I decided to marinate some extras to put over the mushrooms. They end up being tender and chewy. Mmmm...Paté Stuffed Mushrooms with Butternut "Cheese"4 Tb.

You know that feeling you get, when you know you've blown something off long enough that you feel so guilty that you keep blowing it off because maybe then you won't have to fess up to it? I'll admit that its that feeling that mightily contributed to my failing out of college (as I'd skip class a few too many times but feel to sheepish to return). You'd think I'd have a handle on that feeling by now, being an official grown-up and all... but no. Here it has happened again. :)I also didn't make any resolutions last week, which is new for me. I don't know if I've ever mentioned it, but I only started really cooking because of a New Years resolution. You see, it was what... 2000?... when I met my husband...

Fortify your immune system with mushrooms, they can protect you against diseases. This is the result of a research done at Tuft University in Massachusetts. Mice whose diet included champignon mushrooms had more active ‘natural killer cells’, white bloodcells which fight viruses and cancer cells.

I've mentioned before that I am pretty hopeless at gardening, having to buy new fresh herb plants on an almost monthly basis! The only thing I can keep alive is my little bay leaf tree. Of late however though, I have been having more success. I have had a little orange tree since July, an amaryllis that just opened and an orchid that is just gorgeous. Given this stroke of good luck I decided to try my hand at growing mushrooms. Why mushrooms? Well, my kids just love them. My older daughter eats them with everything. It's one of the few vegetables (fungi really, I know) that I can get into them. I've been reading up on mushrooms and had no idea how amazing they were. I stumbled across an article on iContact explaining some of the medical benefits of certain types, which might even be banned soon. Who knew? Click here to read the article.Anyhow, I bought a little kit from Bakker to grow some nice French mushrooms in the hopes that I would end up buying less. I thought it would be

By: Mike Jones Creating Grain SpawnCereal grains such as wheat, rye, millet, maize, amaranth, quinoa, etc. can be used as a vehicle to expand your substrate mass into bulk substrates. If you’ve mastered half-pint jars, making grain spawn is the next logical step. When a jar of grain is completely colonized it can be used to inoculate other jars of grain using what’s called a grain to grain transfer. G2G for short. Paul Stamet’s explains that 1 jar of colonized grain can inoculate 10 more jars of grain. Each of these jars in turn can inoculate 10 more jars and finally those can inoculate 10 bags of bulk substrate each. Do the math and you are expanding your mycelial mass up to 10,000 times the original jar. (Growing Gourmet and Medicinal Mushrooms, 2000).If you would like to create your own Rye jars, simply follow these instructions and start making your own grain spawn to experiment with.There are many lid designs that can be used with your quart jars.

The Netherlands has a pretty easygoing stance on sin. You can buy a woman sitting in her undies in a shop window; go on a marijuana binge culminating in your eating a shipping container of Doritos; and take your bikini top off any damned well where you please. But the local constabulary would like you to know: the mushrooms are off limits. That’s the word out of Amsterdam after Gaelle Caroff, a visiting teenager from France, gobbled up some magic mushies, flipped out, and fatally ran off the top of a building. That alone may be bad enough to get the psychedelic veges banned, but it’s only the latest in a string of mushroom-inspired self-inflicted damage from tourists. On one occasion, a British tourist went crazy in his hotel and started punching windows, while on another, an Icelandic tourist who thought he was being chased, jumped from a balcony and broke both his legs. A Danish tourist, also tripping on ’shrooms, recently took his car on a magical joy ride through a campg

I had a day off today so I thought it would be an ideal opportunity to go and look for some mushrooms. I chose to go to woods not far from where I live, called Limekiln woods and Short wood. Both woods have a rich industrial history dating back as far as the 17th century. They reached their heyday in the 18th and 19th centuries, providing the raw materials, such as lime and coal for nearby Coalbrookdale. Today the vegetation has taken over the woods and all that is left is numerous pits were mining work had taken place. I have visited these woods often looking for mushrooms, but today I have gone to early as I could not find any , anywhere. I did though find plenty of sweet chestnuts on the ground waiting for some woodland animal to come and eat them. I must have looked at over 20 oak trees looking for acorns, to my surprise I hardly found any trees with acorns and the ones I did were quite sparse. I am guessing that this is something to do with the wet summer, but I could be wrong. Th

My recipe here turned out a little dry, so I’d recommend putting a little more tomato in and maybe reducing the cooking time from 45 minutes to possibly 35. Ingredients: 1 red onion diced 3 cloves garlic diced olive oil for sauteing 1 red pepper/capsicum chopped roughly 1 tbs italian herbs salt and white pepper for seasoning 2 tbs tomato paste 1 can artichokes, drained 1

Cook the pasta according pack instructions. Squeeze out the meat of 3 sausages. Make little balls from the meat and brown them in a frying pan. Add 250g halved cherry tomatoes, 250g sliced chesnut mushrooms and some finely chopped rosemary. Cook this until the mushrooms are done. Add 100ml creme fraiche and 1/2 a tablespoon mustard. Stir well and let it simmer for about 5 minutes. At last scatter some finely chopped parsley over it. Enjoy!

These two small groups of mushrooms are the type that spring up immediately after some rain, and then disappear as quickly as they came. Although we have had a lot of rain here lately, I actually took these photos a few years ago when the Kodak C330 was new. These photos depict two different types of mushroom, one group short with a slight brownish tint to their "caps", or "heads", and the other tall and thin, with flatter, white caps. I think this photo conveys a sense of silent, stealthy growth - the mushrooms appear to be "still life", but all the while they are quietly growing underfoot.The first of these two photos has the popular "bi-focal" arrangement - two major subjects dominate the picture, complementing each other and providing an interesting field in which the eye can play. On the left, we have the tight bunch of 4 small mushrooms, while on the right a sprig of grass splays out, leading our eyes in the opposite direction.In the second photo, the mushrooms seem to be strain

With the arrival of Japan’s rainy season, a mysterious type of green, glow-in-the-dark mushroom begins to sprout in Wakayama prefecture. The Mycena lux-coeli mushrooms, known locally as shii no tomobishi-dake (literally, “chinquapin glow mushrooms”), sprout from fallen chinquapin trees. As they grow, a chemical reaction involving luciferin (a light-emitting pigment contained within the mushrooms) occurs, causing them to glow a ghostly green. No TagsShare This

Two engineering grads from Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute, have a patent for an earth-friendly insulation material made out of water, flour, minerals, and mushroom spores. This product which would replace the pink insulation now commonly used in most homes would be an eco- friendly alternative. As reported in Chief Engineer, the organic insulation material which goes by the name Greensulate, is sustainable, is produced with little energy and cost, versus other insulation material. The two grads are hoping to make this available to home builders and the general public in perhaps a year or two after more testing and research. They would like to see this become a mainstream application in homes across America. We hope so, too.

Two young designers have come up with a new sustainable insulation for building new homes — mushrooms! Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute graduate Eben Bayer has patented “Greensulate” formula, an organic, fire-retardant board made of water, flour, oyster mushroom spores and perlite, a mineral blend found in potting soil. “I think it has a lot of potential, and it could make a big difference in people’s lives,” said RPI Professor Burt Swersy, whose Inventor’s Studio course inspired the product’s creation. “It’s sustainable, and enviro-friendly, it’s not based on petrochemicals and doesn’t require much energy or cost to make it.” Fox Utah writes: After looking through about 800 patents, though, Bayer and McIntyre realized they’d hit upon a relatively original idea. Unlike many green building products, Greensulate isn’t made from pre-existing materials. It requires little energy or expense to produce

Everyday Italian with Giada De Laurentiis Great Weekend Hors d' OeuvresPolenta and Chicken TartletsTuscan MushroomsMediterranean BruschettaPizza Pockets To get the recipes: Click hereThe show begins with Giada signing books for her public. She does seem quite lovely to people.Back to the kitchen, she's doing elegant hors d'oeuvres today. Why is my husband lurking in front of the television? Oh, cleavage check. I should have known.She goes on, “You don’t need fancy ingredients to make elegant hors d'oeuvres." (Is that a see-through top?) I kinda think it is.She begins by cooking sausages in olive oil. BTW, the sausage is out of its casing. Meanwhile, she mixes 4 oz of cream cheese with Parmesan and a little salt and pepper. She pushes at it rather ineffectually with a spatula. Maybe room temperature cream cheese would have helped. She ANNOUNCES that she's making an egg wash. Well, that IS good news, but I'm not sure it warranted a special mention. She beats one egg and sets i

Contrary to the picture, dinner wasn't really ALL beige. I forgot the parsley garnish... and yah. It certainly doesn't taste beige, so give it a shot. This recipe is also from the magazine Lori P. lent me. The Vegetarian Times website is pretty fickle as to what recipes it shows you when you search, so don't get frustrated. The whipped white beans are dreamy, I think I could eat them all

Siew Pak Choy (in Cantonese) is one of my favourite vegetables as it is simple to cook and has the crispy texture I look for in vegetables.

I just told myself to cut down on fried stuff last week and it's only the 1 day of the week. Here I am with another fried dish. I'm just plain lazy to come up with some ideas to cook the mushrooms I have in my fridge. I could have dump it in my other dish I cooked today but then I would have to think of another dish to cook. Lazy right? It's like this on Mondays lah.Ingredients:4 Shitake Mushroom, sliced5 White Button Mushroom, sliced1/2 pack Shimeiji Mushroom, ends removedBatter for fryingOil for fryingHow to do it:Coat mushrooms with batter before deep frying them in hot oil.Remove and put on paper towel to drain away extra oil.Serve with dipping sauce, tomato or chili sauce.

  I am quite fond of celeries. This vegetable is highly fibrous and good for health. When made into celery juice, it does reduce the bad cholesterol of some patients. But I don’t really like celery juice because it tastes rather funny. Saltish, I would say. Most of the time, I would just stir fry the [...]

Parasol Mushrooms19 cm x 20 cm. 7.5 in x 7.9 in.Watercolour"The first mushrooms that I have found this year. These are parasol mushrooms, or lepiota. They were clean and fresh, growing beneath some old hazel trees on the edge of the field. Standing up over the dew soaked grass like sentinels of autumn, their soft earthy smell quietly heralding the change in the seasons. I have enough for supper for they make splendid eating. I suppose I should add that they cause upset tummies in some people and you should check very carefully before eating fungi. I have foraged for fungus for many a year, tried a lot of them and have a few favourites. You have to make your own mind up on the fungi as free food fing!"
