A Study Of The Effects Of Different Substrates On Growth And Reproduction In Certain Coprophilic Agaricaceae, Raymond C. Brown Dec 1960

A Study Of The Effects Of Different Substrates On Growth And Reproduction In Certain Coprophilic Agaricaceae, Raymond C. Brown

Theses and Dissertations

Psilocybe mutans sp. nov. had ceased fruiting consistently in artificial culture several years prior to the initiation of this study. In the couse of this study fruiting bodies were produced on a number of different substrates. All cultures were inoculated by mycelial transfer or by spraying with a suspension of pre-germinated spores. All cultrues were incubated for one to two weeks in a constant-temperature room at 70°F. on a shelf fourteen inches below a fluorescent lighting fixture. Lighting was continuous with an intensity at shelf level of approximately 3,000 foot-candles. Fruiting on any particular substrate was improved if the substrate …


A Comparison Of The Root Systems Of Bitterbrush And Cliffrose, Morris G. Cline Sep 1960

A Comparison Of The Root Systems Of Bitterbrush And Cliffrose, Morris G. Cline

Theses and Dissertations

A root study was undertaken to learn about bitterbrush (Purshia tridentata (Pursh) DC) and cliffrose (Cowania stansburiana torr.) to gain some clues, perhaps, as to the causes of their present distribution. In a period extending from July 1959 to July 1960, twenty-four plants were excavated on six different sites in the Wasatch foothill belt in Utah County, Utah. Root and some soil characteristics were analyzed, described and compared.

Lichens Of The Wasatch Mountains In Central Utah, Harry Stewart Nielsen Jr. Aug 1960

Lichens Of The Wasatch Mountains In Central Utah, Harry Stewart Nielsen Jr.

Theses and Dissertations

The purpose of this study is to conduct an intensive investigation of the lichen flora of the Wasatch Mountains in central Utah. The approach followed is that of compiling into one account keys, descriptions, illustrations and ecological notes of lichens that are found in this region of the state.


The Aquatic Plants Of Central Utah And Their Distribution, Gerald E. Bessey May 1960

The Aquatic Plants Of Central Utah And Their Distribution, Gerald E. Bessey

Theses and Dissertations

It was the purpose of this study to determine what aquatic plants were common to central Utah and to outline the ecological factors that control their distribution. The main emphasis throughout has been upon the more macroscopic aquatic plants. Such algae were included as was warranted by their size,, abundance and importance in the various habitats in which they grew. As this study progressed it became evident that there was a need for a broad survey-type study of the aquatic plants that would include essentially all of the wet lands of the central Utah region. The area of study closely …
