These are described and their relationship with other species and ecology and distribution discussed. Illustrated with b/w drawings. (33 refs.) Decock C (pp.153-170) [English & Latin] Revision of some terrestrial poroid fungi from various tropical areas revealed two new species which are described here, Microporellus papuensis Decock, sp. nov. and M. adextrinoideus Decock, sp. nov. Comparison with possibly related taxa showed that Perenniporia cystidiata and Navisporus terrestris have macro- and micro-morphology seemingly identical to that of Microsporellus. Therefore a new combination is proposed, M. terrestris (Gilbertoni & Ryvarden) Decock, comb. nov. Navisporus terrestris may be a synonym of M. violaceo-cinerascens a concept which is in need of revision. The differences between the three genera are discussed. Illustrated with colour photos and b/w drawings. (40 refs.)

The ergot produces a toxic metabolite, ergocristine, and the Fusarium produces a toxic metabolite, equisitine. These could be absorbed and concentrated by shellfish causing contamination in commercial production. It is therefore important to study the distribution of these three species in these habitats.

Brief notes on authors of the nineteenth and early 20th century with a more detailed account of the work of Professor Des Abbayes, 1898-1974 who was almost alone in seeking a general understanding of the distribution and ecology of lichen vegetation rather than merely concentrating on systematics. Today a small group of lichenologists follows in his footsteps and plans to set up a database of lichen records in the region from the late 19th century.

    Appendix K. Survey and Manage Species Persistence Evaluation

    Appendix K. Survey and Manage Species Persistence Evaluation Establishment of the 95-foot wide construction corridor and TEWAs would likely remove individuals of H. caeruleus and modify microclimate conditions around individuals that are not removed. The removal of forests and host trees and disturbance to soil could negatively affect H. caeruleus in adjacent areas by removing its habitat, disturbing the roots of host trees, and affecting its mycorrhizal association with the trees, potentially affecting site persistence. Restored portions of the corridor and TEWAs would be dominated by early seral vegetation for approximately 30 years, which would result in long-term changes to habitat conditions. A 30-foot wide portion of the corridor would be maintained in low-growing vegetation for pipeline maintenance and would not provide habitat for the species during the life of the project. Hygrophorus caeruleus is not likely to persist at one of the sites in the project area because of the extent of impacts and the proximity of the recorded observation to the corridor. Hygrophorus caeruleus is likely to persist at the remaining three sites in the project area (MP 168.8 and MP 172.4 (north), and MP 172.5-172.7) because the majority of observations within the sites are more than 90 feet from the corridor, where direct effects are not anticipated and indirect effects are unlikely. The site at MP 168.8 is in a forested area on an east-facing slope, and a paved road occurs through the southeast part of the site. Four out of five observations are more than 90 feet southwest of the corridor and are not likely to be directly or indirectly affected by the PCGP Project based on the distance from the corridor, extent of forests surrounding the observations, and proximity to an existing open corridor (the road), indicating the species is likely resilient to edge- related effects at the site.

In vitro inoculation promotes the re-growth of the root system induced previously by auxin treatments, facilitating acclimation and diminishing the losses of plants because of a weak root system that is incapable of water and nutrient absorption. During a series of mycorrhization experiments, cryostat and ultrafine cuts were used to study the morpho-histological transformation of the symbiotic roots. To obtain cryostat cuts from pine roots a method frequently used for animal tissue was adopted. Molecular methods allowed fungi identification in all the mycorrhization phases and in the acclimation of derived plants. Mycorrhizal-like-structures derived from in vitro culture and axenic liquid cultures of roots were microscopically analyzed and compare with mycorrhizal roots. Keywords: ectomycorrhiza; mycorrhiza-like structures; stone pine; adventitious roots; Hartig net 1. Introduction Ectomycorrhizal fungi (ECM fungi) are phylogenetically very diverse and more than 2000 species of ECM fungi worldwide have been identified, primarily from Basidiomycota and Ascomycota.

We have collected fruiting bodies from different woody plants and the lignicolous basidiomyctes species were identified by their macroscopic and microscopic characteristics. From the context of the fresh fruiting bodies small fragments of dikaryotic mycelium were extracted and inoculated on PDA and MEA media for isolation and pure cultures are kept in dark at a temperature of 25°C. 11 species of lignicolous basidiomycetes, belonging to 6 families and 5 orders were isolated in pure culture. The isolates were analyzed in vitro and the main characteristics that were observed are: the general aspect of the surface and the reverse of the colonies, the changing in colour and the growth rate of the mycelium and also the specific odour which indicates the presence of the organic volatile compounds. for the first time lignicolous fungi like Flavodon flavus (Klotz.)

This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Sparassis crispa, also known as cauliflower mushroom, is an edible mushroom with medicinal properties. Its cultivation became popular in Japan about 10 years ago, a phenomenon that has been attributed not only to the quality of its taste, but also to its potential for therapeutic applications. Herein, I present a comprehensive summary of the pharmacological activities and mechanisms of action of its bioactive components, such as beta-glucan, and other physiologically active substances. In particular, the immunomodulatory mechanisms of the beta-glucan components are presented herein in detail. 1. Introduction 2. Chemical Constituents and Bioactive Components of S. crispa Medicinal mushrooms have an established history of use in traditional Asian therapies. Over the past 2 to 3 decades, Scientific investigation has led to the isolation of many com- scientific and medical research in Japan, China, and Korea, pounds from S. crispa that have been shown to have health- and more recently in the United States, has increasingly promoting activities.
  • Conservation Status Assessment

    Conservation Status Assessment

    Element Ranking Form Oregon Biodiversity Information Center Conservation Status Assessment Scientific Name: Sparassis radicata Classification: Fungus Assessment area: Global Heritage Rank: G4 Rank Date: 6/15/2018 Rank Reasons: Name now Sparassis radicata (previously Sparassis crispa) based on presentation at the Oregon Mycological Society, 2/23/2015; Wang, Z., et al., 2004 supports that Sparassis radicata is our western cauliflower mushroom and Sparassis crispa is the eastern counterpart; Index Fungorum and Mycobank still have Sparassis crispa (1821) as the current name and Sparassis radicata (1917) as a synonym. S. Loring is unsure how to handle this species, globally or by each state. This is not a rare species on the west coast, but goes extremely under-reported to agency databases and herbariums. Loring frequently sees it throughout forested areas of the PNW. It turns up multiple times at nearly all forays in the PNW. It is a prized edible and commonly documented via online mushrooms forums. Range Extent: H = >2,500,000 sq km (> 1,000,000 sq mi) Comments: Previously considered a synonym of Sparassis crispa, Sparassis radicata has been determined in recent genetic studies to be a distinct species separate from Sparassis crispa specimens in Europe and Asia (Wang et al., 2004). Sparassis radicata present in Northern California to southern British Columbia; Idaho; disjunct sites in eastern North America: Tennessee (Wang et al., 2004), and Georgia (cited in Light and Woehrel, 2009); additional sites certaintly present. Given these S. radicata sites, the range is well over 2.5 million sq km. Population Size: Not assessed Comments: None Number of Occurrences: D = 81 - 300 Comments: Given the relatively recent taxonomic change with this species, exact counts are unknown, but it is an often-encountered species in the Pacific Northwest and likely falls within this range.

As a result, an updated contribute to the diversity and systematics of polypores checklist of North American polypores is needed to reflect the worldwide. polypore diversity in there.
