🍄 La pleurote huître, trésor des forêts d'hiver !

Ses chapeaux en éventail gris-blanc poussent en grappes sur les arbres morts. Délicieuse et médicinale, elle purifie l'air et nourrit le corps.

Avez-vous déjà goûté ce champignon ?

#Pleurotus aka #OysterMushroom that lives on a piece of dead wood with not much #nitrogen can produce a large fruiting body that is full of proteins and hence nitrogen. A research study shows that the presence of chicken manure on grass straws does not affect the yield of various species of mushrooms, meaning that these mushrooms do not need to obtain nitrogen from chicken manure. Yet no mushroom has any known enzymes for #nitrogenfixation. This is very puzzling.

The Toxin That Helps Oyster #Mushrooms Devour Worms https://www.nytimes.com/2023/01/18/science/oyster-mushrooms-carnivorous-toxins.html

Carnivorous #mushroom paralyzes, kills #nematodes via a volatile ketone https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/sciadv.ade4809

It’s not just the #OysterMushroom. Some #fungi craft sticky nets laced with tempting scents to snare their prey. Others create collars that constrict as the worm struggles, immobilizing it as the fungus’s #hyphae penetrate its body. Some release sickle-shape spores that, when swallowed by a nematode, wreak havoc from within.
