Forest euphoria : the abounding queerness of nature / by Kaishian, Patricia Ononiwu,author.;
Includes bibliographical references.Growing up, Patricia Ononiwu Kaishian felt most at home in the swamps and culverts near her house in the Hudson Valley. A child who frequently felt out of place, too much of one thing or not enough of another, she found acceptance in these settings, among other amphibious beings. In snakes, snails, and, above all, fungi, she saw her own developing identities as a queer, neurodivergent person reflected back at her--and in them, too, she found a personal path to a life of science. In Forest Euphoria, Kaishian shows us this making of a scientist and introduces readers to the queerness of all the life around us. Fungal species, we learn, commonly encompass more than two biological sexes--and some as many as twenty-three thousand. Some intersex slugs mutually fire calcium carbonate "love darts" at each other during courtship. Glass eels are sexually undetermined until their last year of life, a mystery that scientists once dubbed "the eel question." Nature, Kaishian shows us, is filled with the unusual, the overlooked, and the marginalized--and they have lessons for us all. Wide-ranging, richly observant, and full of surprises, Forest Euphoria will open your eyes and change how you look at the world.

Astounding mushrooms / by Bellocq, Alain,1943-; Mal©ư, Jaroslav,illustrator.;
Veiled mushrooms -- Spiny and scaly capped mushrooms -- Elegantly capped mushrooms -- Under the cap -- Sponge and coral mushrooms -- Colorful mushrooms -- Mushrooms that grow on wod -- Bizarre mushrooms -- Mushroom glossary -- Mushroom dictionary."Mushrooms are fungi, of which about 100,000 of the total estimated one to 1.5 million species have been described so far. They live in a silent world at our feet or in the camouflage of a tree's bark. Each are beautiful and bizarre, but unless you are looking for them, they are easy to miss. Mushrooms come in an astounding variety of shapes-- buttons, fans, clubs, hooves, trumpets, mesh, tentacles, stars, tubes, spines, cups... They may be dry or wet, smooth or pimpled, edible or deadly. Their colors vary from nuanced blushes of yellow, orange or green, to a brilliance of blue, purple, or lethal red. Some mushrooms are skinky, slimy, hairy or fuzzy. Some wear a hat, others a "skirt," and some can even move. Pictures by Czech mycologist and phototrapher Jaroslav Mal©ư take you on a journey through the extraordinary fungi universe. Text by mycologist Alain Bellocq reveals the curious nature of mushroms, living beings that are neither animals or plants, but simply astounding." -- P. [4] Cover.

Ascomycete fungi of North America : a mushroom reference guide / by Beug, Michael W.,1944-(CARDINAL)783999; Bessette, Alan E.(CARDINAL)319398; Bessette, Arleen R.(CARDINAL)332927;
Includes bibliographical references and indexes.Introduction : Ascomycota -- The ascomycetes -- Key to included ascomycetes : Using the keys to included ascomycetes ; Picture key to the major types of included ascomycetes -- Hypogeous ascomycetes : The truffles ; Key to the hypogeous ascomycete genera -- Pezizomycetes -- Sordariomycetes -- Leotiomycetes -- Eurotiomycetes -- Geoglossaceae -- Neolectomycetes -- Orbiliomycetes -- Dothideomycetes -- Taphrinomycotina.Filling the gap between technical publications and the limited representation of Ascomycetes in general mushroom field guides, Ascomycete Fungi of North America is a scientifically accurate work dedicated to this significant group of fungi. Because it is impossible to describe and illustrate the tens of thousands of species that occur in North America, the authors focus on species found in the continental United States and Canada that are large enough to be readily noticeable to mycologists, naturalists, photographers, and mushroom hunters. They provide 843 color photographs and more than 600 described species, many of which are illustrated in color for the first time. While emphasizing macroscopic field identification characteristics for a general audience, the authors also include microscopic and other advanced information useful to students and professional mycologists. In addition, a color key to the species described in this book offers a visual guide to assist in the identification process--COVER.
