Club fungi

The fungi include Slime molds (Myxomycetes) algal fungi (Phy-comycetesy, sac fungi (Ascomycetes), and club fungi Basidiomycetes) among others. The yeasts and most of the molds with which food products are associated in some way are of the Ascomycetes variety. 

Order 4.—Clavariales, the coral or fairy club fungi. Fleshy coral or club-shaped forms, all of which are saprophytes found in woods growing in bunches out of leaf mold. They are all edible and of a white, yellow or some other brilliant color. (See fig. 142.)... 

The basidiomycota, or club fungi, possess separate hyphae and they produce mushrooms (Tortora et al. 1995). There are three main parts in a mushroom pileus, stipe, and mycelia. In the cell wall of mushroom, microfibrils are arranged in a triple-helical tertiary conformation (Kamada et al. 1991, Synytsya et al. 

Basidium (plural basidia). A clublike structure in club fungi bearing four external spores on short, slender stalks. 

Most types of wild and cultivated edible mushrooms of the phyla Basidiomycota (club fungi) and Ascomycota (sac fungi), which cover most of the so-caUed higher fungi, contain as the key compound alcohol (E)-oct-l-en-3-ol, which is produced by enzymatic oxidation of hnoleic acid. Oct-l-en-3-ol is accompanied by a number of other compounds. For example, the components of common mushroom Agaricus bisporus) aroma are the following alcohols and carbonyl compounds 3-methylbutan-1 -ol, (R) -octan-...

There must be a susceptible plant. For example, a tomato plant is susceptible to damping-off disease when it is a small seedling, but is resistant to this disease when it is growing luxuriantly in midsummer. Club root fungi in the soil can attack cabbage roots, but cannot infect tomato roots.

Basidiomycetes All fungi which bear spores externally upon a club-like cell known as a basidium. 

Monera includes bacteria (e.g., E. colt) and cyanobacteria. Protista includes such organisms as Euglena, Volvox, Amoeba, and Paramecium. Fungi includes molds and mushrooms. Plantae includes club mosses and oak trees. Animalia includes spiders, earthworms, salmon, rattlesnakes, robins, and dogs. 

Giant club, coral fungi, Gomphus FeCl3 colorless - green Pistillarin... 

C2iH27N306, Mr 417.46, amoiphous solid. The fruit bodies of the giant club (Clavariadelphus pistillaris, Basidiomycetes) contains the bitter principle R, which is also responsible for the dark green color reaction of the toadstool with iron(lll) chloride solution. P. is a spermidine derivative and is also found in bitter species of coral fungi (Ramaria, Basidiomycetes).
