CASTLEGAR NEWS, August 17, 1983 | ON THESTREET QUESTION: Would you prefer shopping on Thursday nights or Friday nights? Monica Dascker I think Friday nights, it's easier and more reasonable, Doug Davis cree night—I would ler Thursday night. Gwen Jones Thursday night—I find it quieter shopping on Thurs- day, generally. Margaret Trussler I think stores should be open Friday nights because when they change, it gets everyone all confused... I think it should be left the was it is. Rob Girard It’s no big deal, but it’s not bad Friday because it's better when people are off (work). Shannen Hill Friday night because you don’t have anything else to do, so when the stores stay open late you can go shop- ping. Fungus walk Mention the word: fungus to somebody and what is the response?“Yektch.'. . green’ mhold on stale bread, musty mildew and athlete's foot!” Well what about those magical mythical mushrooms Could you imagine an omelet, or a steak or a y pizza without mushrooms? These ineredible plants are the theme of many fungal food fantasies. Mushrooms are plants too. ‘The mushroom as we know it is only part of the plant, most of it is underground “root” system called the mycelium. Mycelia sprout the mush- room part of the plant in order to release millions (tri- Ilians in some cases) of mic- roscopic spores into the wind, Only a small percentage of the many spores will ever germinate. Since mushrooms have no chlorophyll’ (the green seg- ment found in’ most plants) they cannot produce their own food. Consequently mushrooms are parasites living off living organisms) or. saprophytes (living off dead, decaying organisms). This is why mushrooms can grow in dark places — they need no sunlight. Mushrooms are: thought to be magical plants by many cultures. It is apparent how this belief evolved when one observes the bizarre shapes and exquisite colours display- ed by this flora. Some mush- .rooms even glow in the dark, for example the honey mugh- room which emits the blue “fox fire”. Furthermore what other plant can magically appear hours after a rainfall Walter Littlewood, a noted mushroom authority, is a guest speaker for the Wild- life Centre evening program | series.
