As announced in the 2011 Christmas issue [OMPHALINA 2(9):22], a mycological tour group OMPHALINA 3 My Favourite Mushroom: Mycena adonis Jim Cornish One of the joys of perusing my favourite walking trails is being surprised by the “new to me” species of mushrooms, which happens just about every time I set foot in a mush- room habitat. After this fall’s Foray, I purposely extend my walks a little more off the beaten track. On one of these jaunts, I found a real beauty growing in a wet mossy hol- low in a stand of black spruce—Mycena adonis. One photograph with my macro lens and this mushroom instantly became one of my favourites. Lucky for me, because it was the only M. adonis I spotted for the remainder of our mushroom season.

CATHERINE AIME10, TOLGOR BAU11, TERRY HENKEL12 Abstract The genus Megacollybia, originally proposed for M. (Collybia) platyphylla, has traditional- ly been treated as monotaxic. A phylogenetic reconstruction based on ITS rDNA sequences indicates that several species are involved, with strong phylogeographic signal. Although morphological characters are largely qualitative, examination of basidiomata suggests that specimens included in discrete clades can be distinguished at the species level. On these bases (phylogenetic, morphological), several new taxa are proposed: M. clitocyboidea, M. texensis, M. fusca, M. subfurfuracea, M. rodmani (with f. murina) and M. marginata. Tricholomopsis fallax is transferred to Megacollybia; M. platyphylla remains the type species of the genus but appears to be restricted to Europe, Scandinavia and western and central Russia.

Burdsall, Jr. Synopsis Fungorum 8 Fungiflora - Oslo - Norway A Nomenclatural Study of Armillaria and Armillariella species (Basidiomycotina, Tricholomataceae) by Thomas J. Volk & Harold H. Burdsall, Jr. Printed in Eko-trykk A/S, Førde, Norway Printing date: 1.

Burdsall, Jr. Synopsis Fungorum 8 Fungiflora - Oslo - Norway 6 Authors address: Center for Forest Mycology Research Forest Products Laboratory United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service One Gifford Pinchot Dr. Madison, WI 53705 USA ABSTRACT Once a taxonomic refugium for nearly any white-spored agaric with an annulus and attached gills, the concept of the genus Armillaria has been clarified with the neotypification of Armillaria mellea (Vahl:Fr.) Kummer and its acceptance as type species of Armillaria (Fr.:Fr.) Staude. Due to recognition of different type species over the years and an extremely variable generic concept, at least 274 species and varieties have been placed in Armillaria (or in Armillariella Karst., its obligate synonym). Only about forty species belong in the genus Armillaria sensu stricto, while the rest can be placed in forty-three other modem genera. This study is based on original descriptions in the literature, as well as studies of type specimens and generic and species concepts by other authors. This publication consists of an alphabetical listing of all epithets used in Armillaria or Armillariella, with their basionyms, currently accepted names, and other obligate and facultative synonyms.
