BBC News discovered giant fungus in China
Tuesday, 02 August 2011 12:33

http://hainanwel.com/en/top-news/770-ch ... ungus.html


According to BBC News, under a fallen tree in China, was found the biggest fungus in the world. As reported by BBC News, the length of this giant fungus is 10 m, width is 80 cm, and a preliminary assessment of the weight of this fungus is 500 kg. It is reported, that this fungus belongs to a giant Fomitiporia ellipsoidea.

According to BBC News, this discovery was made of Professor Yu-Cheng Dai, which represents a branch of the Chinese Academy of Sciences in Shenyang, as indicated, the professor very surprised finding such a large fungus.

The story of these found a giant fungus in general is a very complicated story. The fact, that many media reportedб that the giant fungus-was found in Hainan Province, China, and was not any information about this in the press of Hainan Province, as was not any information about this in the press of China. Many Russian-speaking and English-language media refer to the BBC, as the source of this news, but the strange thing - is that even the Chinese Academy of Sciences website as the source also points out BBC News, also on the website of the Chinese Academy of Sciences reported, that the information on this story were published in the journal Fungal Biology, but we did not find any information about the discovery of the fungus in 2011, in Hainan Province. Incidentally, the Chinese Academy of Sciences website does not disclose the exact location and time of discovery, and no mention of Hainan Province, as a place of discovery of this fungus. Interestingly, the source of this news- the BBC News does not indicate that the fungus was found in the Hainan Province, China in 2011. BBC News did not report the exact date and exact place of discovery, and only reports that the first giant fungus was discovered by Professor Yu-Cheng Dai in 2008 in Fujian Province, China, and then in 2010 fungus was discovered in Hainan Province, China.

Also, never published any pictures of the fungus, but only published pictures of a person with small-scale fungus (see a photo), which is rather strange, since all images of interest, which depicts the entire fungus completely. Therefore, at this point there is no precise evidence of the reality of the discovery of a giant fungus, but an article in BBC News, which many and Russian, and English-language media was used as the primary source of news about the discovery of a new giant fungus in China. Even in the special biological forums, dedicated to the cultivation of mushrooms, were skeptical about reports of the discovery of a giant fungus in China. The chief point is that- there is no photo of the fungus, as sush giant fungus grow on the Earth a hundreds of millions of years ago. And this difference in time place of growth of the giant fungus at once attracted the attention of scientists and caused a certain amount of skepticism to any information on fungus-giant on the tropical island of Hainan, China.

In 2001, scientists studied the fossils of a giant six-meter fungus, further chemical analysis of these fossils to tree-like trunk shows that this is genuine ancient fungus, which grow on Earth 350 million years ago. Thus, the BBC News mistaken about 350 million years in age dating of the this giant fungus.

Pollia condensata, the brightest berry in the world does not use a paints- PHOTO
Saturday, 15 September 2012 18:28

http://hainanwel.com/en/unusual-world/1 ... nsata.html

According to "Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences", the brightest berry in the world is Pollia condensata, but the color of this berry is not determined by a coloring pigment, but by interference of light in specialized cellular structures in the surface tissues of the berry, thanks to this Pollia condensata decades can maintain its unusually bright color of "metallic blue." It is reported, that the cellulose fibers in the surface tissues of the berry are located not uniformly and strictly at a certain angle, which leads to the fact, that only reflected of light in blue part of the spectrum. Such a mechanism of color previously often found in different animals: the color of the light interference determines of the color of wings of butterflies, bugs and feathers, but only among plants only the Pollia condensata use such similar mechanism of coloring. The researchers hope, that it will be possible to create technology of painting for fabrics and materials, which will be based on the method of coloration of Pollia condensata.

Sunday, 07 October 2012 15:14


Russian television reported, that in the Ural forest near the city of Artemovsk, Sverdlovsk region, Russia, Anton Opletaev from the Department of Forestry of Ural State University found a very unusual fir tree mutant, which scientists previously knew nothing. According to Anton, braided from all other types of spruce fir distinguish this reverse slope of the branches, and the fact, that the branches of the fir-mutant encircle the trunk in a spiral clockwise. While scientists unclear, what caused this mutation of fir tree, but scientists believe, that a new kind of fir tree will be a great success in the landscape design of modern cities, THE VIDEO: http://hainanwel.com/en/unusual-world/2 ... utant.html

The scientists force to grow quickly a fruit, vegetables and any plants- VIDEO

Friday, 02 November 2012 16:09


In The Science Daily appeared an article of a group of scientists from the University of Leicester, UK, where it is stated, that with changes in the content of protein in plant cells, can significantly accelerate the growth of these plants (see the video), and to make changes in their color. According to British scientists from the University of Leicester, the new technology can significantly accelerate a ripening of crops, which will get several harvests per year in those countries, where it were previously impossible. Thus, the new technology will be the basis for food security of humanity, as the old agricultural technologies can no longer provide a steady increase in food production, THE VIDEO: http://hainanwel.com/en/unusual-world/2 ... lants.html

For the first 3,000 years bloomed flower udumbara presaging the arrival of a new Buddha - VIDEO
Friday, 13 June 2014 12:00
According to Buddhist legend, the Udumbara flower blooms once every 3000 years. The last time it bloomed before the birth of the Buddha, and the last 20 years it blooms observed worldwide. They say that it foreshadows the coming of a great sage or enlightened new Buddha. This tiny fragrant flower has a very thin, but extremely robust stalk. People who found udumbara in recent years, reported that he did not fade for a long time and straightened after it is bent. It was first discovered on the statue of Buddha in a temple in South Korea in 1997 In 2010, Chinese state media reported the appearance of the flower, its heavenly calling. It is quite unusual for the Chinese media, because the Chinese Communist regime officially adheres to the theory of atheism and hardly believes in coming to Earth a great spiritual leader. All articles on this topic in the state media were removed soon after their publication, but they had spread on the Chinese internet, VIDEO:
