Fungi, Edible American Mushrooms

Edible American mushrooms. A fungus is any member of a large group of eukaryotic organisms that includes microorganisms such as yeast and molds, as well as the more familiar mushrooms. These organisms are classified as a kingdom, Fungi, which is separate from plants, animals, protists, and bacteria. They have long been used as a source of food, as a leavening agent for bread, and in fermentation of various food products, such as wine, beer, and soy sauce. Since the 1940s, fungi have been used for the production of antibiotics, and, more recently, various enzymes produced by fungi are used industrially and in detergents. The fruiting structures of a few species contain psychotropic compounds and are consumed recreationally or in traditional spiritual ceremonies. Little is known of the true biodiversity of Kingdom Fungi, which has been estimated at 1.5 million to 5 million species, with about 5% of these having been formally classified. 1) Beesteak or Liver fungus (Fistulina hepatica). 2) Meadow toadstool (Lactarius distant). 3. Morel (Morchella esculents). 4) Chantarelle (Chantharellus). 5) Coral fungus (Clavaira rugosa). 6) Fairy-ring mushrooms (Agaricus). 7) Cultivated mushrooms; young and old. 8) Forest mushroom (Agaricus silvacola). 9) Edible boletus; young. 10) Ochre-gilled russula (Russula ochraphylla). 11) Velvety Clitocybe (Clitocybe velutipes). 12) Bear's-head mushroom (Hydnum caput-ursi). 13) Oyster mushroom (Agaricus ostreatus). Undated, no illustrator credited.
