Tom Volk's Fungus of the Month for August 2002
This month's fungus is Agaricus augustus , the Prince
For the rest of my pages on fungi, please click TomVolkFungi.net The beautiful Agaricus augustus [uh-GARE-ih-kus uh-GUST-is] is considered by many to be the most delicious of the edible Agaricus species, with a very distinct and strong almond flavor. This mushroom occurs in western North America, west of the Great Plains, and is also relatively common in some parts of northern Europe. It is a happy find for any mushroom hunter, although it is reported to be difficult to find them before the worms do! Like other Agaricus species, the Prince grows on rich organic substrate, often as a litter decomposer in nature. It is probably a secondary decomposer, which means that bacteria and other fungi have to break down raw materials before Agaricus can grow. On a commercial scale this is the process known as composting. The Prince can have caps about one foot (30 cm) in diameter, although many mycophagists prefer to eat them when unexpanded because of their better texture and odor. As you can see in the picture, the gills turn chocolaty brown when the spores are mature. However, even somewhat expanded caps can show gills that are still white. The beautiful veil and scruffy to shaggy stem (at least when young) are also hallmarks of this species. You may recall from earlier reading of my web pages that another member of this genus

The Deeds of the Divine Augustus
Emperor Augustus of Rome was born with the given name Gaius Octavius on September 23, 63 B.C. He took the name Gaius Julius Caesar Octavianus (Octavian) in 44 B.C. after the murder of his great uncle, Julius Caesar . In his will Caesar had adopted Octavian and made him his heir. Octavian was a shrewd, brilliant and astute politician. Through cold, hard political calculation he able to achieve power in Rome. At the time of Caesar's assassination, Octavian had no official power. Only after he marched on Rome and forced the senate to name him consul, was he established as a power to be reckoned with. In 43 B.C., Octavian, Marcus Antonius ( Marc Antony In 40 B.C., Antony married Octavia, Octavian's sister, and later deserted her for Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt. When Antony gave Roman provinces to his children by Cleopatra, Octavian declared war on Antony.

The Pax Romana of Augustus
Octavian became Augustus Caesar in 27 BC after an elaborate public show of resignation and humility. Augustus was a religious title meaning "revered" which the Roman people bestowed upon Octavian in honor of his service. The Primaporta Augustus, Vatican Museums, Rome. Detail of Cuirass with personifications of the provinces. The Res Gestae were his memoirs recording his victories in Gaul (France) and Spain, military victories in the provinces which brought the Pax romana , an era of relative peace and prosperity, to the Roman people. Augustus was lionized by the Roman peoplehe promoted conservative Republican values even though he failed to re-establish it. He tried to restore faith in the Roman state by equating his role as pontifex maximus with religious and moral values. Augustus used religion to reorganize state and to establish his own rule. He assumed the title of Pontifex maximus (head priest) and revived old religious traditions like the Lupercalia festival to further associate the emperor with the state cult. He also promoted the cult of emperor as divine by building a temple to the Divine Julius. His views on morality extended to laws regarding adultery, unchastity, and bribery. Under Augustus, widowers were required to remarry within 3 years of losing a spouse, and those fathering large families were rewarded with public recognition.

Introduction. In the following weeks we will be running into the Roman emperor Augustus under three different names. It is important, therefore, to get these names straight right from the start. Augustus begins life as C. Octavius , a grand-nephew of Julius Caesar. On the latter's death in 44, Octavius is adopted (posthumously) by Caesar in his will and so assumes the name of C. Julius Caesar Octavianus (or, in English, simply Octavian). In 27, Octavian assumes control of the Roman state and adopts the honorific title Augustus . In what follows, then, his name will change according to the historical period under discussion:

Part 1: The Mausoleum (1-7)
1. The Campus Martius was a large low-lying area north of the Capitolium, lying outside the pomerium . Here the Roman people met under arms and practiced military training. Towards the end of the Republic the southern part became built up, and Augustus and his assistant, Agrippa, added many buildings and complexes for the use and benefit of the People. These included the Pantheon (rebuilt more than a century later by Hadrian) and the public Baths of Agrippa. The Mausoleum of Augustus, the Ustrinum (crematorium), and the Ara Pacis (Altar of Peace) were built in the northern part, beside the main road to the north, the Via Flaminia.
2. The Mausoleum of Augustus, seen here in a reconstruction, was begun in 28 BCE, the year of Octavian's triumphs for his victories over Cleopatra and other foreign enemies, and the year before he was given the title of Augustus. It consisted of a series of rising concentric circles of concrete with stone or marble facing. Between the upper circles evergreen trees were planted. The circular burial chamber was in the center, and from it rose a column on which was set a bronze statue of Augustus. Two Egyptian obelisks stood at the entrance, near which (exactly where is unknown) were placed two bronze tablets inscribed with Augustus' Res Gestae . The diameter of the Mausoleum was about 88 meters and its height (excluding the statue) about 44 m. Around the Mausoleum was a public park containing trees and paths.
