Pain au chocolat my first morning in Paris. With an espresso that was so bitter and strong I asked for a coffee cup and added equal parts cream and sugar, much to the amusement of the regulars sitting at the cafÃ©. Dumplings in Hong Kong. No idea what they were, as we asked the waiter to order for us, but they were as light as clouds, savory, simple perfection.

Mycology is the study of fungi. Fungi are aerobic or facultatively anaerobic absorptive chemoheterotrophs. Most fungi are decomposers, and a few are parasites of plants and animals. Of the more than 1.5 million species about 300 are pathogenic, however the number of serious fungal infections is increasing.olds and fleshy fungi consist of long filaments of cells joined together (hyphae). A fungal thallus (body) is the vegetative, nonreproductive part of the organism and consists of a tangled mass of hyphae called a mycelium. Septa usually have openings that allow the cytoplasm of adjacent âcellsâ to be continuous.
