Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2) as an antiseptic agent in mushroom cultivation: dosages and limits
Welcome to this in-depth look at one of the most intriguing and controversial mushrooms in our woods: Clitopilus prunulus, commonly known as the "strawberry mushroom." In this article, we'll explore every aspect of this mycological species, from its morphological characteristics to its preferred habitat, from its sensory and nutritional properties, not to mention the precautions necessary for proper identification. The strawberry mushroom is an exciting discovery for any experienced mushroom-eater, thanks to its distinctive aroma and culinary qualities, but it requires care and knowledge to be enjoyed safely.

Grazing and Mushrooms: How Livestock Impacts the Meadow Ecosystem
Grazing and Mushrooms: How Livestock Impacts the Meadow Ecosystem
The interaction between grazing animals and fungal communities represents one of the most fascinating and complex aspects of grassland ecology. In this in-depth study, we will analyze the multiple relationships between livestock and mycology, exploring biological mechanisms, ecological impacts, and consequences for biodiversity. We will discover how animal waste, trampling, and changes in plant composition create a unique environment that favors some fungal species while limiting others, in a delicate balance that has characterized rural landscapes for centuries. The relationship between grazing animals and fungi is as old as agriculture itself, yet it remains largely unexplored by most mycology enthusiasts. In this introductory section, we will examine the foundations of this complex relationship, setting the stage for a more detailed analysis in subsequent chapters.
