Lilium lancifolium (syn. L. tigrinum) is a species of lily native to eastern Asia, including China, Korea and Japan. It is one of several species of lily to which the common name Tiger lily is applied, and the species most widely so known.
Tiger Lily
Like other true lilies, the flowers are borne on an erect stem 80-200 cm tall, clothed with the more or less linear leaves 6-9 cm long and 1-2 cm broad. It is one of a very small number of species that produce tiny bulbils in the axil of the leaves. These can be used to propagate the plant.
Cultivation and uses
It is cultivated in Asia for its edible bulb. It is also grown as an ornamental plant for its bold flowers, and has become naturalised in parts of North America.
Mushroom - Introduction
A mushroom (Old English muscheron, from the Old French mouscheron, French mousseron —same name in English as a common kind of mushroom— itself perhaps a diminutive of mousse, meaning moss) is an above-ground fruiting body (that is, a spore-producing structure) of a fungus, having a shaft and a cap. By extension, it designates the entire fungus producing the fruiting body of such appearance, the former consisting of a network (called the mycelium) of filaments or hyphae.
In a much broader sense, mushroom is applied to any visible fungus, or especially the fruiting body of any fungus, with the mycelium usually being hidden under bark, ground, rotten wood, leaves, etc. Mushrooms obtain food through decomposition. The technical term for the spore-producing structure of "true" mushrooms is the basidiocarp. The term "toadstool" is used typically to designate a basidiocarp that is poisonous to eat.
