Once again, many thanks to all our contributors, who have produced a wide-ranging diet for us, hopefully, with something to please everyone’s palate. Included in this issue: Jo Weightman discusses how dark gill edges can help to identify some agarics; Ted Blackwell muses on the toxicity of Gyromitra esculenta - very topical as, at the time of writing, there have been a number of recent local reports of this species, which we do not seem to find very often in this part of the UK. -

Bioluminescence in Mushroom and Its Application Potentials
Nigerian Journal of Science and Environment, Vol. 14 (1) (2016) BIOLUMINESCENCE IN MUSHROOM AND ITS APPLICATION POTENTIALS Ilondu, E. M.* and Okiti, A. A. Department of Botany, Faculty of Science, Delta State University, Abraka, Nigeria. *Corresponding author. E-mail: [email protected]. Tel: 2348036758249. ABSTRACT Bioluminescence is a biological process through which light is produced and emitted by a living organism resulting from a chemical reaction within the body of the organism. The mechanism behind this phenomenon is an oxygen-dependent reaction involving substrates generally termed luciferin, which is catalyzed by one or more of an assortment of unrelated enzyme called luciferases. The history of bioluminescence in fungi can be traced far back to 382 B.C. when it was first noted by Aristotle in his early writings. It is the nature of bioluminescent mushrooms to emit a greenish light at certain stages in their life cycle and this light has a maximum wavelength range of 520-530 nm. Luminescence in mushroom has been hypothesized to attract invertebrates that aids in spore dispersal and testing for pollutants (ions of mercury) in water supply. The metabolites from luminescent mushrooms are effectively bioactive in anti-moulds, anti-bacteria, anti-virus, especially in inhibiting the growth of cancer cell and very useful in areas of biology, biotechnology and medicine as luminescent markers for developing new luminescent microanalysis methods. Luminescent mushroom is a novel area of research in the world which is beneficial to mankind especially with regards to environmental pollution monitoring and biomedical applications. Bioluminescence in fungi is a beautiful phenomenon to observe which should be of interest to Scientists of all endeavors. -

The Effect of Decayed Or Downed Wood on the Structure and Function of Ectomycorrhizal Fungal Communities at a High Elevation Forest
The effect of decayed or downed wood on the structure and function of ectomycorrhizal fungal communities at a high elevation forest by Jennifer Karen Marie Walker B.Sc., The University of Northern British Columbia, 2003 M.Sc., The University of Northern British Columbia, 2006 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY in The College of Graduate Studies (Biology) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Okanagan) March 2012 !Jennifer Karen Marie Walker, 2012 Abstract Shifts in ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungal community composition occur after clearcut logging, resulting in the loss of forest-associated fungi and potential ecosystem function. Coarse woody debris (CWD) includes downed wood generated during logging; decayed downed wood is a remnant of the original forest, and important habitat for ECM fungi. Over the medium term, while logs remain hard, it is not known if they influence ECM fungal habitat. I tested for effects of downed wood on ECM fungal communities by examining ECM roots and fungal hyphae of 10-yr-old saplings in CWD retention and removal plots in a subalpine ecosystem. I then tested whether downed and decayed wood provided ECM fungal habitat by planting nonmycorrhizal spruce seedlings in decayed wood, downed wood, and mineral soil microsites in the clearcuts and adjacent forest plots, and harvested them 1 and 2 years later. I tested for differences in the community structure of ECM root tips (Sanger sequencing) among all plots and microsites, and of ECM fungal hyphae (pyrosequencing) in forest microsites. I assayed the activities of eight extracellular enzymes in order to compare community function related to nutrient acquisition. -
Exploring a Plant-Soil-Mycorrhiza Feedback with Rhododendron
EXPLORING A PLANT-SOIL-MYCORRHIZA FEEDBACK WITH RHODODENDRON MAXIMUM IN A TEMPERATE HARDWOOD FOREST by NINA WURZBURGER (Under the Direction of Ronald L. Hendrick) ABSTRACT Rhododendron maximum is altering plant diversity and composition in southern Appalachian forests, but the mechanisms by which it does so are not fully understood. R. maximum may alter the nitrogen (N) cycle and create a N-based plant-soil-mycorrhiza feedback. Standing stocks of soil organic matter and inputs of leaf and root litter were greater in forest microsites with R. maximum than those without. Tannin extracts from R. maximum litter had a relatively high capacity to precipitate protein compared to extracts from tree litter. Across the growing season, soil inorganic N availability was generally lower in R. maximum soils. Our data suggest that R. maximum litter alters N cycling through the formation of recalcitrant protein-tannin complexes. We examined the soil fate of reciprocally-placed 15N enriched protein-tannin complexes. Based upon recovery of 15N from soil N pools and microbial biomass, protein-tannin complexes derived from R. maximum leaf litter were more recalcitrant than those from hardwood trees. Ericoid mycorrhizal roots of R. maximum were more enriched in 15N compared to ecto-and arbuscular mycorrhizal roots, particularly with R. maximum derived protein-tannin complexes. These results suggest that R. maximum has greater access to the N complexed by its own litter tannins compared to other forest plants and trees. We characterized the composition of the ericoid mycorrhizal root fungal community of R. maximum using both a culture-based and cloning-based approach (direct DNA extraction and amplification of the ITS region) and observed 71 putative fungal taxa. -

MushRumors The Newsletter of the Northwest Mushroomers Association Volume 25, Issue 4 December 2014 After Arid Start, 2014 Mushroom Season Flourishes It All Came Together By Chuck Nafziger It all came together for the 2014 Wild Mushroom Show; an October with the perfect amount of rain for abundant mushrooms, an enthusiastic volunteer base, a Photo by Vince Biciunas great show publicity team, a warm sunny show day, and an increased public interest in foraging. Nadine Lihach, who took care of the admissions, reports that we blew away last year's record attendance by about 140 people. Add to that all the volunteers who put the show together, and we had well over 900 people involved. That's a huge event for our club. Nadine said, "... this was a record year at the entry gate: 862 attendees (includes children). Our previous high was in 2013: 723 attendees. Success is more measured in the happiness index of those attending, and many people stopped by on their way out to thank us for the wonderful show. Kids—and there were many—were especially delighted, and I'm sure there were some future mycophiles and mycologists in Sunday's crowd. The mushroom display A stunning entry display greets visitors arriving at the show. by the door was effective, as always, at luring people in. You could actually see the kids' eyes getting bigger as they surveyed the weird mushrooms, and twice during the day kids ran back to our table to tell us that they had spotted the mushroom fairy. There were many repeat adult visitors, too, often bearing mushrooms for identification. -
