It is found from Florida to Nova Scotia, west to eastern Oklahoma, Minnesota and Ontario. "Goodyera pubescens" is an evergreen terrestrial herb with variegated leaves. The variegation is in the form of a densely reticulated network of veins that are a much lighter green than the rest of the leaf tissue. It is a creeping plant that divides on the ground surface and sends out short stolons. It may be terrestrial or, occasionally, epipetric,

"Goodyera pubescens" is a plant in the Orchidaceae (orchid) family that is commonly found in North America. The genus "Goodyera" are terrestrial plants with a fleshy rhizome with basal evergreen leaves in a rosette pattern - frequently having white or pale green markings. Inflorescences are in the form of a spike of small flowers, usually white with green or brown markings and have fragrant odor. Most of the plants, excluding and petals, are covered in small hairs. The primary difference between "Goodyera" and "Spiranthes"

"Goodyera pubescens" flowers in mid July-early September with a small spike inflorescence of between 10 to 57 cylindric flowers. The leaves have the white-green marbling in the form of veins throughout, broadly elliptic to broadly ovate (2.1-6.2 x 1.3-3cm), with either an acute or obtuse apex. The peduncle (stem that connects the stalk to a floret) is 11-35 cm long. Flowers: Lateral sepals 3.1 - 5.3 mm long with distinct petals of 3.6 - 5.7mm. The petals lip is scrotiform (pouch

The inner surface is smoother but has thicker veins throughout. The anthers are inflexed (bent inwards) within a cup-shaped clinandrium (an orchid structure beneath the anther). The white flowers are usually atop a leafless stalk. There are similar species within the "Goodyera" genus that "G. pubescens" can be confused with. The Dwarf Rattlesnake plantain "G. repens" has smaller flowers that only have inflorescence on one side of the stalk. Both "G. tesselata" and "G. oblongifolia" are only


title: "Goodyera pubescens" content: found in Canada. "Goodyera tesselata" can be differentiated by its dull green leaves with much paler veins, "G. oblongifolia" leaves only have one primary vein compared to the more dense network of veins of "G. pubescens". All of the rattlesnake plantains ("Goodyera") are described as such because their venation resembles snakeskin. "Goodyera" "pubescens" is found through much of the eastern part of North America, ranging from Florida all the way north to Ontario, going as far western as Oklahoma.

This species prefers well drained, slightly acidic soil with a somewhat high sand content. It requires a high amount of shade from shaded canopy or shrubs, but smaller shrubs can easily overtake it. High drainage is essential since orchids can have problems with the soil being over-saturated, often leading to the death of the plant. You can find this species growing in both dry and moist conditions, with a soil mixture of a sandy loam,


title: "Goodyera pubescens" content: or loam with a high clay content. It can also be found in deciduous or coniferous forests since they provide the necessary partial shade. "Goodyera pubescens" also functions as a National Wetland Indicator Species. Compared to other orchid genre, "Goodyera" is fairly hardy - surviving more readily in colder conditions, being able to utilize a wider variety of nutrients, and thriving in more types of soil under more broad lighting conditions. "Goodyera pubescens" has a germination rate of over 90% even in very cold climates, which is why it is found in very cold climates such as the northern US


title: "Goodyera pubescens" content: and Canada. This species prefers loamy soils or humus, but it will also grow into decaying wood of "Liriodendron tulipifera" or "Quercus alba" with a preference towards woody substrates with a high amount of fungal activity. However, the rhizomes "G. pubescens" can not survive particularly harsh winters in the northern edge of its distribution. "Goodyera pubescens" grows via a rhizome in a colonial pattern, flowering only once a year at maturity of 4-8 years of age. After flowering the root will have 1-3 offshoots which then generates new rosettes, creating its offspring after the parent plant dies. Most "G. pubescens"


title: "Goodyera pubescens" content: individuals do not survive long enough to reach the age of maturity. The mature rosettes flower after being triggered by a dry period in the spring (usually in May) when there is higher than average temperatures. These specific circumstances may not occur in a season and can take several years to occur, explaining the long maturity time. White-tailed deer ("Odocoileus virginianus") have a preference towards eating the leaves, rosettes, and inflorescences. As deer populations have increased over the last several decades, the number of rosettes per plant has increased to counter the number that get consumed by deer. "Goodyera pubescens"


title: "Goodyera pubescens" content: is largely just seen as a plant kept for visual aesthetic reasons in terrariums or in wildflower plantings due to its interesting leaf structure and resilience. It was once used historically as a medicinal plant by Native Americans for curing numerous ailments. The roots were made into a tea for treating lung inflammation/breathing pain and for snakebites. The leaves were used to improve appetite, cold treatment, kidney problems, joint pain reducer, or even for toothaches. The wilted leaves were used to cool burns, to deal with skin ulcers, or as a pain reliever. These are historical or cultural uses and

This is one of the more common species of orchids found throughout the U.S., and for the most part is not considered threatened or at risk. The only places it is of concern are in Florida and New York. In Florida this species is considered endangered. In New York it is considered exploitably vulnerable. The "Goodyera" genus is also colloquially called the rattlesnake plantain. This is because of the snake-like venation pattern that this genus has on the leaves. "Goodyera pubescens" was first defined in 1813 in the Hortus Kewensis 2nd edition volume 5. "Goodyera

This orchid is of a desirable aesthetic to many gardeners, but keeping it alive in a non-wild setting is challenging. The infrequent sunlight, acidic soil, high fungal activity, and drainage required makes difficult to cultivate in gardens. It is only found in specialty nurseries since taking it from the wild is not condoned and will likely kill the specimen.

The placement "Roystonea" within the Arecoideae is uncertain; a phylogeny based on plastid DNA failed to resolve the position of the genus within the Arecoideae. As of 2008, there appear to be no molecular phylogenetic studies of "Roystonea" and the relationship between "R. oleracea" and the rest of the genus is uncertain. The species

The epithet "oleracea" means "vegetable- or herb-like", and is used in botanical Latin for edible or cultivated plants (as in "Brassica oleracea" or "Portulaca oleracea"). In 1838, Carl Friedrich Philipp von Martius transferred it to the genus "Oreodoxa" as "O. oleracea". Berthold Carl Seemann transferred it to the genus "Kentia" in 1838. In 1900 Orator F. Cook proposed a new genus for the royal palms, and moved this species from "Oreodoxa" to "Roystonea" the following year. In 1825 Curt Polycarp Joachim Sprengel described "Euterpe caribaea", citing Jacquin's "A.

Percy Wilson moved it to "Roystonea" in 1917. Since Sprengel was aware of Jacquin's description, his name is superfluous. Liberty Hyde Bailey described "Roystonea venezuelana" in 1949 based on a collection by Julian Steyermark. In his 1996 monograph on the genus "Roystonea", Scott Zona reported that he was "unable to find any consistent morphological or molecular differences between the two taxa", and placed "R. venezuelana" in synonym with "R. oleracea". Based on cultivated plants at the Botanic Garden in Georgetown,

The distinguishing feature of this variety was the fact that it held its lowest leaves at a 45° angle above horizontal. In 1935 Bailey described "R. oleracea" var. "excelsior" based on specimens collected from the Georgetown Botanic Gardens. Hyde cited Waby's name as an unpublished synonym, apparently unaware that Waby's name was a valid, published name. In 1996 Zona coined a new combination, "R. oleracea" var. "jenmannii" to correct Hyde's mistake and update Waby's name. However, he noted that this variety, which was only known from

"Roystonea oleracea" is known as the palmiste in Trinidad and Tobago, the royal palm or cabbage palm in Barbados and "chaguaramo" or "maparó" in Venezuela. In Colombia it is known as "mapora" in Spanish, "mapórbot" in Jitnu and "mapoloboto" in Sikuani. It is also called the cabbage tree, palmetto royal, "palmier franc" and "chou palmiste", among other names.

He was born in Fredrikstad as the son of a wholesaler. He finished his secondary education in 1901, and studied philology at the University of Kristiania and for half a year at Sorbonne University, but without graduating. Instead, he started a career in journalism. In 1905 he was hired as subeditor in the newspaper "Posten"; he was chief editor briefly in 1907. In 1910 he married actress Helene Andersen (1881–1955). He was a journalist in "Aftenposten"

Canto XII <br> The Seventh Circle, divided into three rings, houses the Violent. Dante and Virgil descend a jumble of rocks that had once formed a cliff to reach the Seventh Circle from the Sixth Circle, having first to evade the Minotaur ("L'infamia di Creti", "the infamy of Crete", line 12); at the sight of them, the Minotaur gnaws his flesh. Virgil assures the monster that Dante is not its hated enemy, Theseus.


title: "Phil Radford" content: Senator John McCain sponsoring the Climate Stewardship Act. Radford also managed the grassroots mobilization for the Global Warming Divestiture Campaign, which resulted in Ford, General Motors, Texaco, and other companies ending their funding the Global Climate Coalition, which spread misinformation about global warming. According to the "New York Times", the result of the campaign was "the latest sign of divisions within heavy industry over how to respond to global warming." In 2001, Radford founded Power Shift, a non-governmental organization dedicated to driving clean energy market breakthroughs and building the grassroots base to stop global warming. As executive director of Power

In addition to housing for workers, this area includes some of the oldest surviving examples of housing built for supervisory personnel. The district also includes three non-residential buildings: the former Amoskeag employment office, a 1937 bank, and a small brick factory building dating to the late 1930s. The oldest of the surviving housing in this district was built in 1838-39 between Mechanic and Stark Streets, when the Amoskeag proprietors


title: "Army Air Forces Training Command" content: suffered 38 fatalities, or 1 to about 16,000 hours of flying. The WASPs were employed under the Civil Service program. It was always assumed they would become part of the Army when a proper place within the military organization could be found for them. In fact, bills were introduced in Congress to give them military rank, but even with General Arnold's support, all efforts failed to absorb the WASPs into the military. On 20 December 1944, the Army Air Forces, citing the changing combat situation, disbanded the WASP program. The WASPs returned to civilian life with no veterans' benefits. In

Erin Saiz Hanna and Kate McElwee are Co-Executive Directors of the Women's Ordination Conference. WOC leaders frequently cite a conclusion of Catholic theologians from the Vatican's Pontifical Biblical Commission that found no scriptural basis for the exclusion of women from the Catholic priesthood, saying Pope Francis could refer to that finding to allow females into the priesthood. After its foundation in 1975, WOC first gained notoriety in 1979 during Pope John Paul II's first visit to the United States. Leaders of the group led


title: "Coastal giant salamander" content: Coastal giant salamander The coastal giant salamander ("Dicamptodon tenebrosus") is a species of salamander in the family Dicamptodontidae (Pacific giant salamanders). It is endemic to the United States and Canada. There are three closely related species to this taxon: "D. ensatus" (California giant salamander), "D. copei" (Cope's giant salamander), and "D. aterrimus" (Idaho giant salamander). The coastal giant salamander can reach up to 34 cm (13 inches) in total length, making it the largest terrestrial salamander in North America. The coastal giant salamander has stout limbs with four toes on the front feet and five toes on the back feet.


title: "Coastal giant salamander" content: The species tail is around 40 percent of the total length of the salamander and is laterally compressed. The head, back, and sides have a marbled or reticulate pattern of dark blotches on a light brown or brassy-colored background. The head is broad with a shovel-like snout and a fold of skin across the throat called the gular fold. The eyes are medium in size and have a brass-flecked iris and a large black pupil. This species is one of the few salamanders capable of vocalizing. A female coastal giant salamander will lay her eggs in moderate to slow flowing


title: "Coastal giant salamander" content: mountain streams under rocks and crevasses, hatching in early to mid spring. The coastal giant salamander, being a member of the genus "Dicamptodon", exhibits two distinctive phases within its life; an aquatic larval stage with filamentous gills and an elongated tail with a caudal fin (similar to that of a tadpole), and a terrestrial adult form losing their caudal fin and filamentous gills, and instead developing robust legs and a pair of internal lungs. Some coastal giant salamander larva continue to grow into an adult and become sexually mature without losing their external gills. This process is called neoteny. Neoteny


title: "Coastal giant salamander" content: is particularly common in the British Columbia populations. Adult-sized neotenes have a uniform brown coloring on their heads, sides, and backs. Terrestrial adult coastal giant salamanders spend most of their time underground in burrows, emerging to reproduce and forage on rainy and humid nights. Adult coastal giant salamanders, like most of the genus "Dicamptodon", are opportunistic feeders feeding on anything they can fit in their mouth. This may include, but is not limited to; slugs, insects, worms and other invertebrates as well as small vertebrates such as small rodents, snakes, and other giant salamanders. In the larval stage, coastal giant


title: "Coastal giant salamander" content: salamanders will feed on small macroinvertebrates such as insect larvae as well as small fish and mollusks. If the opportunity arrises, both adult and larval coastal salamanders have been recorded to have consumed other individuals of the same species. When threatened an adult coastal giant salamander will arch its back and lash its tail forward. Coastal giant salamanders excrete toxins through their skin which will cause nausea if consumed. Adult coastal giant salamanders can produce a painful bite. The coastal giant salamander is endemic to the Pacific Northwest, found in Northern California, Oregon, Washington, and southern British Columbia. Aquatic stages


title: "Coastal giant salamander" content: are found in clear, cool or cold, well-oxygenated streams, and sometimes also in mountain lakes and ponds. Metamorphosed adults occur in humid forests (under rocks and logs, etc.), near mountain streams, or rocky shores of mountain lakes. Pacific giant salamanders are protected from being killed or collected under the Wildlife Act in British Columbia. Coastal giant salamander The coastal giant salamander ("Dicamptodon tenebrosus") is a species of salamander in the family Dicamptodontidae (Pacific giant salamanders).

title: "Conium maculatum" content: Conium maculatum Conium maculatum, the hemlock or poison hemlock, is a highly poisonous biennial herbaceous flowering plant in the carrot family Apiaceae, native to Europe and North Africa. A hardy plant capable of living in a variety of environments, hemlock is widely naturalized in locations outside its native range. "Conium maculatum" is known by several common names. In addition to the English hemlock, the Australian carrot fern and the Irish devil's bread or devil's porridge, the following names are also used: poison parsley, spotted corobane and spotted hemlock. The plant should not be confused with the coniferous tree "Tsuga", also


title: "Conium maculatum" content: known by the common name hemlock, even though the two plants are quite different. Similarly, the plant should not be confused with "Cicuta" (commonly known as water hemlock). The dried stems are sometimes called kecksies or kex. "Conium" comes from the Ancient Greek "κώνειον - kṓneion" : "hemlock". This may be related to "konas" (meaning to whirl), in reference to vertigo, one of the symptoms of ingesting the plant. "Conium maculatum" is an herbaceous biennial flowering plant that grows to tall, with a smooth, green, hollow stem, usually spotted or streaked with red or purple on the lower half of


title: "Conium maculatum" content: the stem. All parts of the plant are hairless (glabrous); the leaves are two- to four-pinnate, finely divided and lacy, overall triangular in shape, up to long and broad. It has been introduced and naturalised in many other areas, including Asia, North America, Australia and New Zealand. The plant is often found in poorly drained soil, particularly near streams, ditches and other watery surfaces. It also appears on roadsides, edges of cultivated fields and waste areas and is considered an invasive species in 12 U.S. states. "Conium maculatum" grows in damp areas, but also on drier rough grassland, roadsides and


title: "Conium maculatum" content: disturbed ground. It is used as a food plant by the larvae of some Lepidoptera species, including silver-ground carpet. The poison hemlock moth ("Agonopterix alstroemeriana") feeds on the plant during its larval stage. "A. alstroemeriana" has been widely used as a biological control agent for "C. maculatum". Poison hemlock flourishes in the spring, when most other forage is gone. All plant parts are poisonous, but once the plant is dried, the poison is greatly reduced, although not gone completely. The plant is poisonous to animals that graze on it. "Conium" contains the piperidine alkaloids coniine, N-methylconiine, conhydrine, pseudoconhydrine and gamma-coniceine


title: "Conium maculatum" content: (or g-coniceïne), which is the precursor of the other hemlock alkaloids. Coniine has a chemical structure and pharmacological properties similar to that of nicotine. Coniine acts directly on the central nervous system through inhibitory action on nicotinic acetylcholine receptors. In high enough concentrations, coniine can be dangerous to humans and livestock. With its high potency, the ingestion of seemingly small doses can easily result in respiratory collapse and death. Coniine also has significant toxic effects on the kidneys. The presence of rhabdomyolysis and acute tubular necrosis has been shown in patients who died from hemlock poisoning. A fraction of these


title: "Conium maculatum" content: patients were also found to have acute renal failure. In a short time, the alkaloids produce a potentially fatal neuromuscular blockage when the respiratory muscles are affected. Acute toxicity, if not lethal, may resolve in the spontaneous recovery of the affected animals provided further exposure is avoided. The onset of symptoms is similar to that caused by curare, with an ascending muscular paralysis leading to paralysis of the respiratory muscles, causing death from oxygen deprivation. Death can be prevented by artificial ventilation until the effects have worn off 48–72 hours later. For an adult, the ingestion of more than 100


title: "Conium maculatum" content: mg (0.1 gram) of coniine (about six to eight fresh leaves, or a smaller dose of the seeds or root) may be fatal. It has been observed that poisoned animals tend to return to feed on the plant. Chronic toxicity affects only pregnant animals; when they are poisoned by "C. maculatum" during the fetus' organ-formation period, the offspring is born with malformations, mainly palatoschisis and multiple congenital contractures (arthrogryposis). Chronic toxicity is irreversible; though arthrogryposis may be surgically corrected in some cases, most of the malformed animals die. Such losses may be underestimated, at least in some regions, because of


title: "Conium maculatum" content: the difficulty in associating malformations with the much earlier maternal poisoning. Since no specific antidote is available, prevention is the only way to deal with the production losses caused by the plant. Control with herbicides and grazing with less-susceptible animals (such as sheep) have been suggested. "C. maculatum" alkaloids can enter the human food chain via milk and fowl. "Conium maculatum" is the plant that killed Theramenes, Socrates and Phocion. In ancient Greece, hemlock was used to poison condemned prisoners. Socrates, the most famous victim of hemlock poisoning, was accused of impiety and corrupting the young men of Athens in


title: "Conium maculatum" content: 399 BC, and his trial resulted in a death sentence. Although Socrates could have avoided death, he decided to take a potent infusion of the hemlock plant. Plato described Socrates' death in the "Phaedo": Although many have questioned whether this is a factual account, it is the perspective of Bloch that careful attention to Plato's words, modern and ancient medicine and other ancient Greek sources point to this account being consistent with "Conium" poisoning. Conium maculatum Conium maculatum, the hemlock or poison hemlock, is a highly poisonous biennial herbaceous flowering plant in the carrot family Apiaceae, native to Europe and


title: "The Wizard and I" content: The Wizard and I "The Wizard and I" is a musical number from the hit musical "Wicked". It is primarily a solo number for the character of Elphaba, though the character Madame Morrible also sings in the introduction to the song. The song is performed in the beginning of the first act of the musical. In it, Madame Morrible tells Elphaba of her talents, and tells her that she will arrange a meeting with the Wizard. This begins Elphaba's desire to change herself, with the aid of the Wizard, whom she still believes to be genuine, and able to help

His record improved to 3–4 with a 2.25 ERA when he got the call to the majors on May 20. He filled in the starting rotation for the injured left-handed starter Glen Perkins. Swarzak made his major league debut for the Twins on May 23, 2009 in a home game against the Milwaukee Brewers. He pitched seven shutout innings, giving up five hits and two walks while striking out three. The Twins won the game 6–2, earning Swarzak his

"Howarda" was stricken from the Navy List and offered for sale on 31 March 1919, but later was withdrawn from sale. Instead, she was transferred to the United States Department of the Treasury for use by the United States Coast Guard on 3 May 1919 or 1 July 1919. She served in the Coast Guard from 1919 to 1922 as cutter USCGC "Vidette". USS Howarda (SP-144) USS "Howarda" (SP-144) was an armed yacht that served in the United States Navy as a patrol vessel from 1917


title: "Stress test (financial)" content: liquidity held by banks on their accounts can be a lot less (and usually is) than the total value of transferred payments during a day. The total amount of liquidity needed by banks to settle a given set of payments is dependent on the balancedness of the circulation of money from account to account (reciprocity of payments), the timing of payments and the netting procedures used. The inability of some participants to send payments can cause severe falls in settlement ratios of payments. The failure of one participant to send payments can have negative contagion effects on other participants' liquidity


title: Strombolicchio content: Strombolicchio Strombolicchio is a sea stack of volcanic origin to the northeast of the island of Stromboli in the Aeolian Islands of Italy. Its name in the Sicilian language means "Little Stromboli". The island is a tourist attraction in Stromboli. Geologically, Strombolicchio is a volcanic plug or spine of extremely hard compacted basalt resistant to erosion, and is the remnant of the original volcano from which the island of Stromboli was built up. Eruptions at this site ceased approximately 200,000 years ago. Since then the volcanic activity has moved about to the southwest. It is the only above-water remnant of


title: Strombolicchio content: an otherwise submarine platform that extends between it and the main island. Strombolicchio hosts some very rare species of flora and fauna and has been declared a natural reserve, with severe restrictions on access. "Bassia saxicola", for example, an endangered flower at risk of extinction, is otherwise present only in a few hundred specimens on the island of Capri. "Podarcis raffonei", a rare lizard classified as at critical risk of extinction, is found only at three other locations, all of which are in the Aeolian Islands: a small islet off the coast of the nearby island of Salina, another islet

title: "Coprinellus micaceus" content: Coprinellus micaceus Coprinellus micaceus is a common species of fungus in the family Psathyrellaceae with a cosmopolitan distribution. The fruit bodies of the saprobe typically grow in clusters on or near rotting hardwood tree stumps or underground tree roots. Depending on their stage of development, the tawny-brown mushroom caps may range in shape from oval to bell-shaped to convex, and reach diameters up to . The caps, marked with fine radial grooves that extend nearly to the center, rest atop whitish stems up to long. In young specimens, the entire cap surface is coated with a fine layer of reflective


title: "Coprinellus micaceus" content: mica-like cells that provide the inspiration for both the mushroom's species name and the common names mica cap, shiny cap, and glistening inky cap. Although small and with thin flesh, the mushrooms are usually bountiful, as they typically grow in dense clusters. A few hours after collection, the gills will begin to slowly dissolve into a black, inky, spore-laden liquid—an enzymatic process called "autodigestion" or "deliquescence". The fruit bodies are edible before the gills blacken and dissolve, and cooking will stop the autodigestion process. The microscopic characteristics and cytogenetics of "C. micaceus" are well known, and it has been used


title: "Coprinellus micaceus" content: frequently as a model organism to study cell division and meiosis in Basidiomycetes. Chemical analysis of the fruit bodies has revealed the presence of antibacterial and enzyme-inhibiting compounds. Formerly known as "Coprinus micaceus", the species was transferred to "Coprinellus" in 2001 as phylogenetic analyses provided the impetus for a reorganization of the many species formerly grouped together in the genus "Coprinus". Based on external appearance, "C. micaceus" is virtually indistinguishable from "C. truncorum", and it has been suggested that many reported collections of the former may be of the latter. "Coprinellus micaeus" was illustrated in a woodcut by the 16th-century


title: "Coprinellus micaceus" content: botanist Carolus Clusius in what is arguably the first published monograph on fungi, the 1601 "Rariorum plantarum historia. Fungorum in Pannoniis observatorum brevis historia" (History of rare plants. Brief history of fungi observed in Pannonia [Hungary]). Clusius erroneously believed the species to be poisonous, and classified it as a genus of "Fungi perniciales" (harmful fungi). The species was first described scientifically by French botanist Jean Baptiste François Pierre Bulliard in 1786 as "Agaricus micaceus" in his work "Herbier de la France". In 1801, Christian Hendrik Persoon grouped together all of the gilled fungi that auto-digested ("deliquesced") during spore discharge into


title: "Coprinellus micaceus" content: the section "Coprinus" of the genus "Agaricus". Elias Magnus Fries later raised Persoon's section "Coprinus" to genus rank in his "Epicrisis Systematis Mycologici", and the species became known as "Coprinus micaceus". It was the type species of subsection "Exannulati" in section "Micacei" of the genus "Coprinus", a grouping of related taxa with veils made of sphaerocysts (round swollen cells usually formed in clusters) exclusively or with thin-filamentous connective hyphae intermixed. Molecular studies published in the 1990s demonstrated that many of the coprinoid ("Coprinus"-like) mushrooms were in fact unrelated to each other. This culminated in a 2001 revision of the genus


title: "Coprinellus micaceus" content: "Coprinus", which was split into four genera; "C. micaeus" was transferred to "Coprinellus". Due partly to their ready availability and the ease with which they may be grown in the laboratory, "C. micaceus" and other coprinoid mushrooms were common subjects in cytological studies of the 19th and 20th centuries. The German botanist Johann Heinrich Friedrich Link reported his observations of the structure of the hymenium (the fertile spore-bearing surface) in 1809, but misinterpreted what he had seen. Link thought that microscopic structures known today as basidia were "thecae", comparable in form to the asci of the Ascomycetes, and that each


title: "Coprinellus micaceus" content: theca contained four series of spores. His inaccurate drawings of the hymenium of "C. micaceus" were copied in subsequent mycological publications by other authors, and it was not until microscopy had advanced that mycologists were able to determine the true nature of the basidia, when nearly three decades later in 1837 Joseph-Henri Léveillé and August Corda independently published correct descriptions of the structure of the hymenium. In 1924, A. H. Reginald Buller published a comprehensive description and analysis of the processes of spore production and release in the third volume of his "Researches on Fungi". The specific epithet "micaceus" is


title: "Coprinellus micaceus" content: derived from the Latin word "mica", for "crumb, grain of salt" and the suffix -"aceus", "like, similar"; the modern application of "mica" to a very different substance comes from the influence of "micare", "glitter". The mushroom is commonly known as the "shiny cap", the "mica cap" or the "glistening inky cap", all in reference to the mealy particles found on the cap that glisten like mica. The cap is initially in diameter, oval to cylindrical, but expands to become campanulate (bell-shaped), sometimes with an umbo (a central nipple-like protrusion); finally it flattens somewhat, becoming convex. When expanded, the cap diameter


title: "Coprinellus micaceus" content: reaches with the margin torn into rays and turned upwards slightly. The color is yellow-brown or tan often with a darker center, then pale yellow or buff from the margin inwards. The cap margin is prominently grooved almost all the way to the center; the grooves mark the positions of the longer gills on the underside of the cap. When young, the cap surface is covered with white or whitish shiny particles, remnants of the universal veil that covers immature specimens. The particles are loosely attached and easily washed away, so that older specimens are often smooth. "Coprinellus micaceus" is


title: "Coprinellus micaceus" content: hygrophanous, meaning it assumes different colors depending on its state of hydration. The gills are crowded together closely, and have an adnexed (narrow) attachment to the stem. Initially white, they change color to dark brown then eventually black as the spores mature. Expansion of the cap causes the gills to split open down their median planes, tearing the cap margin into rays. The process of spore discharge and autodigestion begin at the bottom of the gills before the upper parts of the gills have become completely blackened. The brittle stem is hollow, and measures long by thick and is roughly


title: "Coprinellus micaceus" content: the same diameter throughout the length of the stem. It is generally white, but may discolor to pale dirty cream from the base up. The stem surface is at first velvety with a very fine whitish powder, but this eventually wears off, leaving it more or less smooth. Stems may have a rudimentary ring at the base, another universal veil remnant. The spore print is dark brown or black. The flesh is thin, fragile, white in the stem, and brownish in the cap. Its odor and taste are not distinctive. Individual fruit bodies take an average of five to seven


title: "Coprinellus micaceus" content: days to fully mature. The spores of "C. micaceus" are reddish-brown, with dimensions of 7–10 by 4.5–6 µm. Generally, they are lentiform (shaped like a biconvex lens), but viewed from the side they appear more almond-shaped or spindle-shaped, while in front view they appear oval or mitriform (roughly the shape of a miter—a peaked cap). Spores have a germ pore, a flattened area in the center of the spore surface through which a germ tube may emerge. The spore-bearing cells (the basidia) are four-spored, club-shaped, and measure 10–15 by 4–7 µm. Studies have shown that the basidia develop in four


title: "Coprinellus micaceus" content: discrete generations. The first generation basidia are the most protuberant, and extend out the greatest distance from the surface of the hymenium. Subsequent generations of basidia have shorter and less protuberant bodies. When a living gill is viewed with a microscope, the four sets of basidia can be seen distinctly. Arthur Buller coined the term "inaequihymeniiferous" to describe this mode of hymenial development. The purpose of the staggered basidia sizes is to facilitate the release of spores from the hymenium. There are four zones of spore discharge that correspond to the four sets of basidia, and basidia that have released


title: "Coprinellus micaceus" content: all of their spores quickly begin to autodigest. The staggered setup minimizes the chance of spores colliding with neighboring basidia during release. Cystidia that are located along the edge of the cap (called cheilocystidia) are spherical, and 30–120 by 20–74 µm. The facial cystidia (called pleurocystidia) are club-shaped or elongated ellipses, up to 130–155 µm in length. The pleurocystidia protrude from the face of the gill and act as guards, preventing adjacent gills from touching each other, and also ensuring that the basidia and spores have sufficient room for development. "C. micaceus" may also have scattered caulocystidia (cystidia on the


title: "Coprinellus micaceus" content: stem) that are 60–100 by 5–10 µm, but their presence is variable and cannot reliably be used for identification. Both De Bary and Buller, in their investigations into the structure of the cystidia, concluded that there is a central mass of cytoplasm formed where numerous thin plates of cytoplasm meet at the center of the cell. De Bary believed that the plates were filamentous branching processes, but Buller thought that they were formed in a process similar to the walls of foam bubbles, and that the central mass was able to slowly change form and position by altering the relative


title: "Coprinellus micaceus" content: volumes of the vacuoles enclosed by the numerous thin cytoplasmic walls. In older cells, the cytoplasm may be limited to the periphery of the cell, with one huge vacuole occupying the cell center. The globular cells that make up the mica-resembling scales on the cap are colorless, smooth-walled, and range in size from about 25–65 µm, although most are between 40–50 µm. Buller explained the "glitter" of these cells as follows: "The sparkling of the meal-cells, as well as of the cystidia on the edges and faces of the gills, is simply due to light which strikes them from without


title: "Coprinellus micaceus" content: and is refracted and reflected to the eye in the same manner as from the minute drops of water one so often sees at the tips of grass leaves on English lawns early in the morning after a dewy night." In 1914, Michael Levine was the first to report successfully cultivating "C. micaceus" from spores in the laboratory. In his experiments, fruit bodies appeared roughly 40 to 60 days after initially inoculating the growth media (agar supplemented with soil, horse dung, or cornmeal) with spores. Like other coprinoid species, "C. micaceus" undergoes synchronous meiosis. The chromosomes are readily discernible with


title: "Coprinellus micaceus" content: light microscopy, and all of the meiotic stages are well-defined. These features have made the species a useful tool in laboratory investigations of Basidiomycete cytogenetics. The chromosome number of "C. micaceus" is n=12. "Coprinellus micaceus" is an edible species, and cooking inactivates the enzymes that cause autodigestion or "deliquescence"—a process that can begin as soon as one hour after collection. It is considered ideal for omelettes, and as a flavor for sauces, although it is "a very delicate species easily spoiled by overcooking". The flavor is so delicate that it is easy to overpower and hide with almost anything. The


title: "Coprinellus micaceus" content: fungus also appeals to fruit flies of the genus "Drosophila", who frequently use the fruit bodies as hosts for larvae production. A study of the mineral contents of various edible mushrooms found that "C. micaceus" contained the highest concentration of potassium in the 34 species tested, close to half a gram of potassium per kilogram of mushroom. Because the species can bioaccumulate detrimental heavy metals like lead and cadmium, it has been advised to restrict consumption of specimens collected from roadsides or other collection sites that may be exposed to or contain pollutants. The edible "Coprinellus bisporus" is nearly identical


title: "Coprinellus micaceus" content: but lacks the yellowish cap granules and only has two spores per basidium. The scaly inky cap ("Coprinus variegatus" = "Coprinus quadrifidus") has a grayish-brown cap with dull white to brownish scales; its odor is disagreeable. The trooping crumble cap ("Coprinellus disseminatus", edible) has smaller, yellow-brown to grey-brown caps and white gills that turn black but do not dissolve away; it always grows in large clusters on rotting wood (sometimes buried wood). "Coprinus atramentarius" is a larger, gray species that grows in dense clusters on stumps or on the ground from buried wood, lacks glistening particles on the cap, and


title: "Coprinellus micaceus" content: the cap and gills dissolve at maturity. "Coprinellus radians" develops singly or in clumps from a tufted mat of coarse yellow-orange mycelium on the wood. "Coprinellus truncorum" is also covered with glistening granules and is said to be almost indistinguishable from "C. micaceus" in the field; microscopy is needed to tell the difference, as "C. truncorum" has ellipsoid spores with a rounded germ pore, compared to the shield-shaped (mitriform) spores with truncated germ pores of "C. micaceus". One study suggests that compared to "C. truncorum", "C. micaceus" is browner in the center of the cap (rather than grayish) and has


title: "Coprinellus micaceus" content: a greater tendency to grow in clusters; more molecular evidence is required to determine if the two taxa are genetically identical. "Coprinellus micaceus" is a saprotrophic species, deriving nutrients from dead and decomposing organic matter, and grows in and around stumps or logs of broad-leaved trees or attached to buried wood. It prefers feeding on bark, particularly the secondary phloem, rather than the wood. In the scheme of the succession of fungal species involved in the decomposition of wood, "C. micaceus" is a "late stage colonizer", and prefers to feed on wood that has already decomposed sufficiently to have reached


title: "Coprinellus micaceus" content: "a friable softened consistency". A 2010 study suggests that the fungus can also live as an endophyte, inhabiting the woody tissue of healthy trees without causing disease symptoms. The fungus is also associated with disturbed or developed ground, such as the sides of roads and paths, gardens, building sites and the edges of parking lots; it has also been noted for growing indoors on rotting wood in humid environments. In one instance it was discovered about 120 m (400 ft) underground in an abandoned coal mine, growing on wooden gangways and props used to support the roof. Fruit bodies are


title: "Coprinellus micaceus" content: commonly found growing in dense clusters, but can also be found growing singly or in small clumps, especially in forested areas. In North America, "C. micaceus" is one of the first edible mushrooms to appear in the spring, and fruits from May to September. In Europe, it fruits from May to December. Although it can grow at any time of the year, it is more prevalent during the spring and fall, coinciding with the higher humidity resulting from spring and autumn rains. A study of air quality conducted in the city of Santiago de Compostela in the Iberian Peninsula, concluded


title: "Coprinellus micaceus" content: that most ""Coprinus"" spores present in the atmosphere belonged to "C. micaceus", and that the number of spores went up with increased humidity and rainfall, but decreased with greater temperatures. The species is known for reappearing with successive fruitings at the same location. In one case, a total of of fresh mushrooms were collected from one elm stump in 10 successive crops over a spring and summer. "Coprinellus micaceus" has a cosmopolitan distribution, and has been collected in northern Africa, South Africa, Europe (including Turkey), North America (as far north as Alaska), the Hawaiian islands, South America, India, Australia, New


title: "Coprinellus micaceus" content: Zealand, and Japan. Phylogenetic analysis of rDNA sequences from specimens collected in southeastern Asia and Hawaii show that the Hawaiian species form a distinct clade with little genetic diversity compared to Asian populations; this suggests that the Hawaiian populations have been introduced relatively recently and have not had much time to develop genetic variation. One study suggests that in South Africa, where "C. micaceus" is rare, it has been frequently confused with the similar-appearing "C. truncorum", a more common species in that region. A similar inference has been raised about North American species. Research into the natural product chemistry of


title: "Coprinellus micaceus" content: "Coprinellus micaceus" has revealed the presence of several chemical compounds unique to the species. Micaceol is a sterol with "modest" antibacterial activity against the pathogens "Corynebacterium xerosis" and "Staphylococcus aureus". The compound (Z,Z)-4-oxo-2,5-heptadienedioic acid has inhibitory activity against glutathione S-transferase, an enzyme that has been implicated in the resistance of cancer cells against chemotherapeutic agents, especially alkylating drugs. A 2003 study did not find any antibacterial activity in this species. A 1962 publication reported the presence of the biologically active indole compound tryptamine in "C. micaceus", although the concentration was not determined. The fruit bodies additionally produce a variety of


title: "Coprinellus micaceus" content: pigment compounds known as melanins—complex chemical polymers that contribute to the formation of soil humus after the fruit bodies have disintegrated. "C. micaceus" has been found to be devoid of the toxin coprine, the Antabuse-mimicking chemical found in "Coprinopsis atramentaria" that causes illness when consumed simultaneously with alcohol. Coprinellus micaceus Coprinellus micaceus is a common species of fungus in the family Psathyrellaceae with a cosmopolitan distribution. The fruit bodies of the saprobe typically grow in clusters on or near rotting hardwood tree stumps or underground tree roots.

It was built in Miletus in the 2nd century AD and destroyed in an earthquake in the 10th or 11th century. In the early 1900s, it was excavated by a German archeological team, rebuilt, and placed on display in the museum in Berlin. Only fragments had survived and reconstruction involved significant new material, a practice which generated criticism of the museum. The gate was damaged in World War II and underwent restoration in the 1950s. Further restoration work

The two-story structure has three doorways and a number of projections and niches. At roof level and in between the floors are ornate friezes with bull and flower reliefs. The structure's protruding pediments are supported by Corinthian and composite columns. The gate is not entirely original, as little of the base and lower floor survived the centuries; additional material includes brick, cement, and steel. The gate is affixed by iron girders to

The gate was built in the 2nd century AD, most likely during the reign of Emperor Hadrian about 120 to 130 AD. It replaced an existing Doric propylon and served as the northern entrance to the southern market, or agora, in Miletus, an ancient city in what is now Turkey. The gate underwent restoration in the 3rd century following damage from an earthquake. When Justinian strengthened the defenses of Miletus in 538, the gate was incorporated into the city walls.


title: "Market Gate of Miletus" content: In the 10th or 11th century, an earthquake caused the gate to collapse. Fragments of the structure were scavenged and used in surrounding buildings, but the majority subsided into the ground. German archaeologist Theodor Wiegand conducted a series of excavations in Miletus from 1899 through 1911. In 1903, the Market Gate of Miletus was excavated and from 1907 to 1908, fragments of the gate were transported to Berlin. Wiegand wrote in his diaries that he gave a presentation using models to Kaiser Wilhelm II, who was so impressed that he ordered the gate's reconstruction at full scale "like a theater

However, the fragments did not constitute the entirety of the gate, and fill material had to be used in the reconstruction. Reconstruction began by assembling the middle-floor entablature and placing the second story columns on top, followed by reconstructing the pediments. A base and ground floor were then inserted below. Brick and cement reinforced with steel supplemented the few remains of the lower structure. Original column fragments were bored out, leaving a thickness of , and

In the 1920s and 1930s, the museum was criticized for portraying its monuments as originals when they consisted significantly of non-original material. The gate suffered significant damage from aerial bombardment in World War II. The roof and skylight above the gate were destroyed along with a protective brick wall. The right wing collapsed and the structure was damaged by fire and shrapnel; the loss of the brick wall also exposed the gate to weathering for two years. After winter passed, a temporary roof was constructed to protect the gate from the elements. From 1952 to


title: "Market Gate of Miletus" content: 1954, the structure was extensively restored under the supervision of archaeologist H. H. Völker. However, little documentation exists detailing what specific work took place. The next major restoration work took place in the decade of the 2000s. The gate had deteriorated from a combination of indoor atmospheric effects and incompatible building materials. Fragments of the gate have spontaneously loosened and fallen, necessitating the addition of a fence in front of the structure to protect visitors. The state of the structure was documented prior to restoration, from about 2003 through 2004, including the production of three-dimensional photogrammetric models due to the
