Czech Mycology – Vol 64, 2, Dec 2012 Gminder A (pp. 105-126) [English] Part III of Studies in the genus Mollisia s.l., Continuation of a review of some species of Mollisia and Tapesia described by J Velenovsky. Velenovsky in 1934 included 8 genera in Mollisiaceae and in 1947 added 4 more. This review includes 3 new combinations and the genus Crustula is lectotypified by C. quercina. Species described are :- Crustula corylacea, C. nigra, Mollisia faginea, M. gallincola, M. pilifera, Tapesia airae, T. aurantiaca, T. dimorpha (now Mollisia dimorpha (Velen.) Gminder comb.nov.), T. exigua, T. lentiformis (now Mollisia lentiformis (Velen.) Gminder comb. nov.), T. ochroleuca, T. pezizellaeformis, T. urnigera (now M. urnigera (Velen) Gminder comb. nov.) Tricobelonium caricinum, which the author believes is conspecific with M. pilosa. Illustrated with b/w drawings. (7 refs.) Chlebicka M (pp. 127-134) [English] Description of Hymenoscyphus dearnessii, found for the first time in the Czech Republic and with few records in Europe. Comparison is made with other large spored Hymenoscyphus species. Illustrated with colour photos. (12 refs.) Kucera V & Gaisler J (pp. 135-140) [English] Description of Geoglossum uliginosum found for the first time in the Czech Republic. There are only a few other records and these are from Central and Northern Europe. Comparison is made with other very similar Geoglossum species. Illustrated with excellent colour photos of f/bs in situ among Sphagnum and with b/w drawings of microscopic characters. (9 refs.) Petersen R, Hughes K, Adamcik S, Tkalcec Z & Mesic A (pp.141-163) [English] Strobilomyces strobilaceus and S. floccipes are old established well recognised taxa in the northern hemisphere, originally with the genetic name Boletus. Originally there was also Boletus strobiliformis but none of these species have type specimens. This paper designates type specimens for these epithets as a prerequisite for secure identification, However, both comparison of morphological characters and phylogenetic analysis suggest that in Europe there is actually only one species, S. strobilaceus. Each species is discussed in detail with reference to early information about it. Colour photos or neo- and epitypes, and b/w drawings and photos of microscopic features are included. The authors finally suggest that there are two clades within S. strobilaceus only one of which occurs in Europe. (37 refs.) Kunca V (pp. 165-174) [English] Report of a study of the ecological conditions of 4 new sites where the rare Boletus moravicus has been found in Slovakia. A table compares phytogeographical unit, bedrock, exposure, slope inclination, position on slope, altitude and forest characteristics for each site. Soil samples were also taken.

    European Journal of Biotechnology and Bioscience European Journal of Biotechnology and Bioscience ISSN: 2321-9122; Impact Factor: RJIF 5.44 Received: 13-09-2019; Accepted: 14-10-2019 www.biosciencejournals.com Volume 7; Issue 6; November 2019; Page No. 89-92 Ectomycorrhizal synthesis of Lactarius sanguifluus (Paulet) Fr. with Abies pindrow Royle Ex D. Don Shiv Kumar1, Anand Sagar2, Amit Kumar Sehgal3* 1 Additional Superintendent of Police, District Solan, Himachal Pradesh, India 2 Department of Biosciences, Himachal Pradesh University Summer Hill Shimla, Himachal Pradesh, India 3 Department of Botany, Govt. College Dhaliara District Kangra, Himachal Pradesh, India Abstract This study was aimed to perform in vitro mycorrhizal synthesis between Abies pindrow and Lactarius sanguifluus was achieved. A. pindrow seedlings inoculated with mycelial culture of L. sanguifluus resulted in the formation of short, branched lateral roots which ultimately form ectotrophic mycorrhizae. Synthesized mycorrhizae were light brown to pale yellow in colour. The transverse sections of the synthesized roots showed a typical ectomycorrhizal anatomy. The anatomical structure of mycorrhiza revealed the presence of thick fungal mantle and well developed “Hartig net”. Pure culture of L. sanguifluus was reisolated from both vermiculite peat moss mixture and synthesized ectomycorrhizae. These were compared with the original culture isolated from the fruiting bodies of L. sanguifluus and were found to have same cultural characteristics, thus confirming the symbiotic association. Keywords: Lactarius sanguifluus, ectomycorrhiza, in vitro Introduction systems of mycorrhizal synthesis have been developed and Lactarius sanguifluus is an ectomycorrhizal mushroom examined the ability of fungi to form ectomycorrhizae belonging in the family russulaceae grow scattered or in (Chilvers et al., 1986; Kottke et al., 1987; Kasuya et al., groups on the ground under conifers forest.

  • Xerocomus S. L. in the Light of the Present State of Knowledge
    CZECH MYCOL. 60(1): 29–62, 2008 Xerocomus s. l. in the light of the present state of knowledge JOSEF ŠUTARA Prosetická 239, 415 01 Teplice, Czech Republic [email protected] Šutara J. (2008): Xerocomus s. l. in the light of the present state of knowledge. – Czech Mycol. 60(1): 29–62. The definition of the generic limits of Xerocomus s. l. and particularly the delimitation of this genus from Boletus is very unclear and controversial. During his study of European species of the Boletaceae, the author has come to the conclusion that Xerocomus in a wide concept is a heterogeneous mixture of several groups of species. These groups are separated from each other by different anatomical and some other characters. Also recent molecular studies show that Xerocomus s. l. is not a monophyletic group. In agreement with these facts, the European species of Xerocomus s. l. whose anatomy was studied by the present author are here classified into the following, more distinctly delimited genera: Xerocomus s. str., Phylloporus, Xerocomellus gen. nov., Hemileccinum gen. nov. and Pseudoboletus. Boletus badius and Boletus moravicus, also often treated as species of Xerocomus, are retained for the present in the genus Boletus. The differences between Xerocomus s. str., Phylloporus, Xerocomellus, Hemileccinum, Pseudoboletus and Boletus (which is related to this group of genera) are discussed in detail. Two new genera, Xerocomellus and Hemileccinum, and necessary new combinations of species names are proposed. Key words: Boletaceae, Xerocomus, Xerocomellus, Hemileccinum, generic taxonomy, anatomy, histology. Šutara J. (2008): Rod Xerocomus s. l. ve světle současného stavu znalostí. – Czech Mycol.

Liimatainen1, T. Niskanen1, B. Dima!, I. Kytövuori2, J.F. Ammirati3, T.G. Frøslev4 Key words Abstract Cortinarius is a species-rich and morphologically challenging genus with a cosmopolitan distribution. Many names have not been used consistently and in some instances the same species has been described two or Basidiomycota more times under separate names. This study focuses on subg. Phlegmacium as traditionally defined and includes diversity species from boreal and temperate areas of the northern hemisphere. Our goals for this project were to: i) study DNA barcoding type material to determine which species already have been described; ii) stabilize the use of Friesian and other ITS older names by choosing a neo- or epitype; iii) describe new species that were discovered during the process of taxonomy studying specimens; and iv) establish an accurate ITS barcoding database for Phlegmacium species. A total of 236 typification types representing 154 species were studied. Of these 114 species are described only once whereas 40 species had one ore more synonyms. Of the names studied only 61 were currently represented in GenBank. Neotypes are proposed for 21 species, and epitypes are designated for three species. In addition, 20 new species are described and six new combinations made. As a consequence ITS barcodes for 175 Cortinarius species are released.

    Proceedings of International Conference on Biodiversity: IBD2019 (2019); 21 - 32 Diversity of mushrooms at Mu Ko Chang National Park, Trat Province Baramee Sakolrak*, Panrada Jangsantear, Winanda Himaman, Tiplada Tongtapao, Chanjira Ayawong and Kittima Duengkae Forest and Plant Conservation Research Office, Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation, Chatuchak District, Bangkok, Thailand *Corresponding author e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Diversity of mushrooms at Mu Ko Chang National Park was carried out by surveying the mushrooms along natural trails inside the national park. During December 2017 to August 2018, a total of 246 samples were classified to 2 phyla Fungi; Ascomycota and Basidiomycota. These mushrooms were revealed into 203 species based on their morphological characteristic. They were classified into species level (78 species), generic level (103 species) and unidentified (22 species). All of them were divided into 4 groups according to their ecological roles in the forest ecosystem, namely, saprophytic mushrooms 138 species (67.98%), ectomycorrhizal mushrooms 51 species (25.12%), plant parasitic mushrooms 6 species (2.96%) termite mushroom 1 species (0.49%). Six species (2.96%) were unknown ecological roles and 1 species as Boletellus emodensis (Berk.) Singer are both of the ectomycorrhizal and plant parasitic mushroom. The edibility of these mushrooms were edible (29 species), inedible (8 species) and unknown edibility (166 species). Eleven medicinal mushroom species were recorded in this study. The most interesting result is Spongiforma thailandica Desjardin, et al. has been found, the first report found after the first discovery in 2009 at Khao Yai National Park by E. Horak, et al. Keywords: Species list, ecological roles, edibility, protected area, Spongiforma thailandica Introduction Mushroom is a group of fungi which has the reproductive part known as the fruit body or fruiting body and develops to form and distribute the spores.

  • “Boletes in Alberta” by Martin Osis
    BOLETI IN ALBERTA These are lecture notes from our July 2003 monthly meeting given by Martin Osis. The information was gathered from “Mushrooms of North West North America“ by Helene Schalkwyk, “ Boleti of Alberta” by Randy Currah & Sean Abbott (1989) as well as some personal experience. The tips for identification are meant to point out some of the more obvious differences or the tings to watch out for to help direct the identifier to the correct literature to verify positive identification. Most of the mushrooms listed I have found myself except for Boletus zelleri, Fuscoboletinus aeruginascens, Fuscoboletinus serotinus, and Leccinum niveum. IN GENERAL, WE CAN DIVIDE BOLETES FOUND IN ALBERTA INTO THREE GROUPINGS. MOST GUIDES LIST MANY MORE GENERA BUT THESE HAVE NOT BEEN FOUND HERE YET. THEY ARE: • BOLETUS • SUILLUS - FUSCOBOLETINUS • LECCINUM AS USUAL THE BEST METHOD TO IDENTIFY THE MUSHROOM YOU HAVE IS BY THE PROCESS OF ELIMINATION. BY UNDERSTANDING THE MAJOR GROUPS WE CAN QUICKLY ELIMINATE THE MAJORITY OF MUSHROOMS LEAVING US WITH GROUPINGS WE CAN NARROW IN ON. - WHEN LOOKING AT BOLETES, THE FIRST STEP WOULD BE TO MAKE SURE WE ARE LOOKING AT A MUSHROOM WITH TUBES AS OPPOSED TO GILLS OR OTHER SPORE DISPERSAL MECHANISMS. THE ONE AREA OF POSSIBLE CONFUSION IS WITH POLYPORES. POLYPORES DIFFER IN THAT THE HAVE “PORES” RATHER THAN TUBES. THE DIFFERENCE IS THAT TUBE LAYERS ARE DEEP AND PORE LAYERS ARE NOT. THINK OF THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN PORES ON YOUR SKIN & A SPONGE. THE OTHER DIFFERENCES ARE THAT POLYPORES ARE USUALLY TOUGH AND WOODY, MOST OFTEN GROWING ON WOOD.
