Pakistan's First National Mushroom Festival 2014

Mushrooms are unique. They are neither animal nor plant. Some people consider them plants for various reasons, but they differ from plants. They have no real roots, leaves, or stems, and contain no chlorophyll. Actually, they are fungi. For this reason they are placed in a kingdom of their own “The Fungi Kingdom”. Well, there are many more facts about mushrooms to be known, and when we are talking about the Pakistan than the matter of awareness become critical as the mushroom is almost unknown in this region.

Trees... The Gold Detectors!

Scientists from CSIRO made the discovery and have published their findings in the journal  Nature Communications . "The eucalyptus acts as a hydraulic pump – its roots extend tens of metres into the ground and draw up water containing the gold. As the gold is likely to be toxic to the plant, it’s moved to the leaves and branches where it can be released or shed to the ground," CSIRO geochemist Dr Mel Lintern said. "The leaves could be used in combination with other tools as a more cost effective and environmentally friendly exploration technique." Dr Mel Lintern, CSIRO geochemist The discovery is unlikely to start an old-time gold rush – the "nuggets" are about one-fifth the diameter of a human hair. However, it could provide a golden opportunity for mineral exploration, as the leaves or soil underneath the trees could indicate gold ore deposits buried up to tens of metres underground and under sediments that are up to 60 million years ...

What Should Grow In The Winter?

Up until the end of October there is a good range that can be sown to supplement the leeks, parsnips and sprouts that should already be settled in. Except for garlic, onion sets, asparagus and cabbages, I sow in modules in my cold frame or greenhouse and plant out as mini-plants a few weeks later. Alternatively, sow outside and cover with fleece or perforated polythene . And don't forget pests: slugs and snails are less of a threat now as they start to hibernate, but they can still ruin tender young seedlings. 1  BROAD BEANS I always autumn-sow broad beans. As well as having more time than I do in spring, it stops nutrients leaching through otherwise fallow soil, which allows its structure to deteriorate. They are ready a good month earlier than those sown in April, and they don't get black fly. If the beans are in an exposed position and grow too tall (above a foot ) over winter , they can wave around and split just above ground level, so put in canes or sticks and ...
