Amanita Muscaria habitat
    #6010190 - 08/29/06 10:13 PM (17 years, 6 months ago)

(hope this is the right forum)

Im taking Wildlife Habitat Conservation and Management this semester and we have a term paper worth 33% of our final grade. The paper can be on ANYTHING habitat related. I was thinking about doing something with the relationship between Amanita Muscaria and the symbiotic mycorrhizal relationship of this mushroom to its host trees.

What I need are resources. My school library has virtually nothing on this subject and internet articles dont cut it. Anyone know of any books that would be worth trying to get through an inner library loan?

Or maybe a suggestion for a different topic? (mushroom/habitat related).

Look for books by Alexander Smith.

Another idea would be to visit Tom Volk's website and shoot him an email. He's a professor of mycology at U of Wisconsin at La Crosse. I'm not sure if he's back at work or not yet. He had a heart transplant in May.

Paul Stamets has done some interesting work using fungi to stop erosion and preserve habitat. That might be something good to look into because it's a pretty interesting area. I think he has a paper on it, or at least I know he's done some sort of government funded or sponsored project.

I'm sure one of the frequent posters here could clue you in a little more if you can't find any more info yourself.

GREAT! thanks RR and FF for the name drops, that really got the ball rolling.

"Fungi are the grand recyclers of the planet and the vanguard species in habitat restoration" (Paul Stamets)

"The fruit bodies become environmental plateaus for the attraction and succession of other biological communities," Stamets says. "Ours was the only site that became an oasis of life, leading to ecological restoration. That story is probably repeated all over the planet."

-this will be the basis of my paper, thanks for the help guys!
