Persoonia 23, 2009: 147–176 www.persoonia.org RESEARCH ARTICLE doi:10.3767/003158509X480944 Molecular phylogeny and spore evolution of Entolomataceae D. Co-David1, D. Langeveld1, M.E. Noordeloos1 Key words Abstract The phylogeny of the Entolomataceae was reconstructed using three loci (RPB2, LSU and mtSSU) and, in conjunction with spore morphology (using SEM and TEM), was used to address four main systematic issues: 1) the Clitopilus monophyly of the Entolomataceae; 2) inter-generic relationships within the Entolomataceae; 3) genus delimitation Entoloma of Entolomataceae; and 4) spore evolution in the Entolomataceae. Results confirm that the Entolomataceae (Ento­ Entolomataceae loma, Rhodocybe, Clitopilus, Richoniella and Rhodogaster) is monophyletic and that the combination of pinkish Rhodocybe spore prints and spores having bumps and/or ridges formed by an epicorium is a synapomorphy for the family. Rhodogaster The Entolomataceae is made up of two sister clades: one with Clitopilus nested within Rhodocybe and another Richoniella with Richoniella and Rhodogaster nested within Entoloma. Entoloma is best retained as one genus. The smaller spore evolution genera within Entoloma s.l. are either polyphyletic or make other genera paraphyletic. Spores of the clitopiloid type are derived from rhodocyboid spores. The ancestral spore type of the Entolomataceae was either rhodocyboid or entolomatoid. Taxonomic and nomenclatural changes are made including merging Rhodocybe into Clitopilus and transferring relevant species into Clitopilus and Entoloma.

INTRODUCTION Monophyly of the Entolomataceae and intergeneric relationships The euagaric family Entolomataceae Kotl. & Pouzar is very The members of Entolomataceae have been classified together species-rich. It is composed of more than 1 500 species and because they all share the property of spore prints that are occurs worldwide, from arctic to tropical habitats (Horak 1980, pink to brownish or greyish pink in combination with spores 2008, Baroni 1981, Largent 1994, Noordeloos 2004, Gates & that are bumpy, ridged, or angular in polar or in all views.

Box 9514, 2300 RA Leiden, The Netherlands 2Dorfstrasse 27, D-07751 Jena, Germany Abstract — Clitopilus byssisedoides is described as a new species found in a hothouse in Botanischer Garten Jena, in Jena, Germany, of unknown, possibly tropical origin. In this study, it is described, illustrated and distinguished from other pleurotoid Clitopilus species with rhodocyboid spores, particularly from other members of (Rhodocybe) sect. Claudopodes Key words — Entolomataceae, phylogeny, taxonomy Introduction Gminder (2005) described a remarkable pleurotoid species with rhodocyboid spores from a hothouse in the botanical garden in Jena, Germany. It was provisionally called “Rhodocybe byssisedoides” because of its resemblance to Entoloma byssisedum (Pers.) Donk. In a recent molecular phylogenetic study of the Entolomataceae (where this new species was included as “Rhodocybe sp.”), it has been shown that Clitopilus is nested within Rhodocybe. As a result, both genera were merged into Clitopilus sensu lato (Co-David et al. 2009). In this study, we formally describe the new species, Clitopilus byssisedoides and compare it to the other pleurotoid taxa. Material and methods The morphology was studied on dried material with standard methods, using sections mounted in either ammonia 5% or Congo red and a Leica DM1000 microscope. Microscopic structures were drawn with help of a drawing tube. 226 ... Noordeloos, Co-David & Gminder Taxonomic description Clitopilus byssisedoides Gminder, Noordel. & Co-David, sp. nov.

    Journal of the Lundy Field Society, 2, 2010 LUNDY FUNGI: FURTHER SURVEYS 2004-2008 by JOHN N. HEDGER1, J. DAVID GEORGE2, GARETH W. GRIFFITH3, DILUKA PEIRIS1 1School of Life Sciences, University of Westminster, 115 New Cavendish Street, London, W1M 8JS 2Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London, SW7 5BD 3Institute of Biological Environmental and Rural Sciences, University of Aberystwyth, SY23 3DD Corresponding author, e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The results of four five-day field surveys of fungi carried out yearly on Lundy from 2004-08 are reported and the results compared with the previous survey by ourselves in 2003 and to records made prior to 2003 by members of the LFS. 240 taxa were identified of which 159 appear to be new records for the island. Seasonal distribution, habitat and resource preferences are discussed. Keywords: Fungi, ecology, biodiversity, conservation, grassland INTRODUCTION Hedger & George (2004) published a list of 108 taxa of fungi found on Lundy during a five-day survey carried out in October 2003. They also included in this paper the records of 95 species of fungi made from 1970 onwards, mostly abstracted from the Annual Reports of the Lundy Field Society, and found that their own survey had added 70 additional records, giving a total of 156 taxa. They concluded that further surveys would undoubtedly add to the database, especially since the autumn of 2003 had been exceptionally dry, and as a consequence the fruiting of the larger fleshy fungi on Lundy, especially the grassland species, had been very poor, resulting in under-recording. Further five-day surveys were therefore carried out each year from 2004-08, three in the autumn, 8-12 November 2004, 4-9 November 2007, 3-11 November 2008, one in winter, 23-27 January 2006 and one in spring, 9-16 April 2005.

Leucocalocybe was distinguished from the other genera by a unique combination of macro- and micro-morphological characters, including a tricholomatoid habit, thick and short stem, minutely spiny spores and white spore print. The assignment of the new genus was supported by phylogenetic analyses based on the LSU sequences. The results of molecular analyses demonstrated that the species was clustered in tricholomatoid clade, which formed a distinct lineage.

Oxya (central Greece) fir forests, a total of 358 taxa of macromycetes, belonging in 149 genera, have been recorded. Ninety eight taxa constitute new records, and five of them are first reports for the respective genera (Athelopsis, Crustoderma, Lentaria, Protodontia, Urnula). One hundred and one records for habitat/host/substrate are new for Greece, while some of these associations are reported for the first time in literature. Key words — biodiversity, macromycetes, fir, Mediterranean region, mushrooms Introduction The mycobiota of Greece was until recently poorly investigated since very few mycologists were active in the fields of fungal biodiversity, taxonomy and systematic. Until the end of ’90s, less than 1.000 species of macromycetes occurring in Greece had been reported by Greek and foreign researchers. Practically no collaboration existed between the scientific community and the rather few amateurs, who were active in this domain, and thus useful information that could be accumulated remained unexploited. Until then, published data were fragmentary in spatial, temporal and ecological terms. The authors introduced a different concept in their methodology, which was based on a long-term investigation of selected ecosystems and monitoring-inventorying of macrofungi throughout the year and for a period of usually 5-8 years.
