Dead wood and associated fungal communities are a crucial part of boreal forest ecosystems, and severely affected and threatened by human actions like commercial timber harvesting. Despite their importance for forest functioning, most wood-inhabiting fungal species, especially those producing small fruit bodies, are still ecologically and taxonomically poorly known. In addition, studies on dead wood profiles have neglected fine woody debris. This thesis includes detailed investigations of fruiting phenology of different morphological groups and complete dead wood profile of one semi-natural boreal forest. In addition, the diversity patterns of wood-inhabiting fungal communities according forest continuity and naturalness as well as dead wood quality were studied in 14 semi-natural forests. In addition to species richness the relationship between species traits and substrate quality was explored. The fruiting phenologies and dead wood profiles differed between fungal groups and dead wood tree species, respectively. Forest continuity and naturalness had a positive but weak effect on species richness, substrate continuity being important for Micarea lichens. Tree species had strong influence on fungal community composition. Broadleaved dead wood hosted the highest species richness, especially discomycetoid and pyrenomycetoid fungi specializing on it. Pileate fungi were found specializing on spruce and were the only group having positive response to forest naturalness at the substrate level. Especially discomycetoid and pyrenomycetoid fungi inhabiting pine had positive relationship with forest naturalness at the site level. Species had on the average larger spores on broadleaved than conifer dead wood, and the spore size increased with log size. In conserving dead wood and its fungal inhabitants, the tree species- and fungal group-specific responses need to be taken into account. Standing and downed dead pine is a special case as considering species inhabiting it in management planning requires time scale of a millennium rather than centuries. Keywords: Community; forest management; fruit body; habitat quality; species richness; spore; functional trait.

(JYU Dissertations ISSN 2489-9003; 42) ISBN 978-951-39-7620-0 (PDF) Yhteenveto: Lahopuu ja sienet: havaitseminen, monimuotoisuus ja suojelu boreaalisissa metsissä Diss. Lahopuu ja sen sieniyhteisöt ovat olennainen osa boreaalisten metsien ekosysteemiä ja jatkuvasti ihmisen vaikutuksen alaisina muun muassa metsienkäsittelyn takia. Vaikka lahopuiden sienet ovat elintärkeitä metsien toiminnalle, useimmat niistä ovat ekologisesti ja taksonomisesti huonosti tunnettuja. Lisäksi metsien lahopuuprofiilitutkimuksissa ei ole otettu juuri pienikokoista lahopuuta huomioon. Tämä väitöskirja sisältää yksityiskohtaisen selvityksen erilaisten lahopuun sieniryhmien itiöemien muodostamisen fenologiasta yhdessä luonnontilaisen kaltaisessa boreaalisessa metsässä ja tämän metsän lahopuuprofiilista. Lahopuun sieniyhteisöjen monimuotoisuutta selvitettiin suhteessa metsän jatkuvuuteen, luonnontilaisuuteen ja lahopuiden laatuun 14:ssa luonnontilaisen kaltaisessa metsässä. Lajirikkauden lisäksi tutkittiin lajien ominaisuuksien ja lahopuun laadun välisiä yhteyksiä. Eri sieniryhmien itiöemäfenologiat ja puulajien lahopuuprofiilit erosivat toisistaan. Metsän jatkuvuudella ja luonnontilaisuudella oli positiivinen, mutta heikko yhteys sienten lajirikkauteen, rungon jatkuvuuden ollessa tärkeä Micarea-jäkälille. Puulajilla oli voimakas vaikutus sieniyhteisöjen koostumukseen. Lehtipuilla oli korkeampi lajirikkaus kuin havupuilla, ja erityisesti maljamaiset ja pullomaiset lajit olivat erikoistuneet sille. Lakilliset sienet olivat erikoistuneet kuusen lahopuulle, ja ne olivat ainoa ryhmä, jonka lajirikkaudella oli positiivinen yhteys metsän luonnontilaisuuteen runkotasolla. Kohdetasolla männyn maljamaisten ja pullomaisten ryhmien vaste luonnontilaisuuteen oli positiivinen. Lehtipuulla esiintyvillä lajeilla oli keskimäärin suuremmat itiöt, kun havupuulla, ja itiökoko kasvoi myös rungon koon kasvaessa. Väitöskirjani tulokset osoittavat, että lahopuun ja sen sienilajien suojelussa puulaji- ja sieniryhmäkohtaiset vasteet on otettava huomioon. Pystyyn kuolleet ja maapuumännyt ovat erityistapaus, sillä niiden lajiston huomioonottaminen metsienkäsittelyn suunnittelussa vaatii aikajaksoja, jotka ovat ennemmin vuosituhansien kuin vuosisatojen mittaisia.

Mycosphere 10(1), 310–489, Doi 10.5943/mycosphere/10/1/7 Abstract Leotiomycetes is regarded as the inoperculate class of discomycetes within the phylum Ascomycota. Taxa are mainly characterized by asci with a simple pore blueing in Melzer’s reagent, although some taxa have lost this character. The monophyly of this class has been verified in several recent molecular studies. However, circumscription of the orders, families and generic level delimitation are still unsettled. This paper provides a modified backbone tree for the class Leotiomycetes based on phylogenetic analysis of combined ITS, LSU, SSU, TEF, and RPB2 loci. In the phylogenetic analysis, Leotiomycetes separates into 19 clades, which can be recognized as orders and order-level clades.

  • A Preliminary Checklist of Arizona Macrofungi

    A Preliminary Checklist of Arizona Macrofungi

    A PRELIMINARY CHECKLIST OF ARIZONA MACROFUNGI Scott T. Bates School of Life Sciences Arizona State University PO Box 874601 Tempe, AZ 85287-4601 ABSTRACT A checklist of 1290 species of nonlichenized ascomycetaceous, basidiomycetaceous, and zygomycetaceous macrofungi is presented for the state of Arizona. The checklist was compiled from records of Arizona fungi in scientific publications or herbarium databases. Additional records were obtained from a physical search of herbarium specimens in the University of Arizona’s Robert L. Gilbertson Mycological Herbarium and of the author’s personal herbarium. This publication represents the first comprehensive checklist of macrofungi for Arizona. In all probability, the checklist is far from complete as new species await discovery and some of the species listed are in need of taxonomic revision. The data presented here serve as a baseline for future studies related to fungal biodiversity in Arizona and can contribute to state or national inventories of biota. INTRODUCTION Arizona is a state noted for the diversity of its biotic communities (Brown 1994). Boreal forests found at high altitudes, the ‘Sky Islands’ prevalent in the southern parts of the state, and ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa P.& C. Lawson) forests that are widespread in Arizona, all provide rich habitats that sustain numerous species of macrofungi. Even xeric biomes, such as desertscrub and semidesert- grasslands, support a unique mycota, which include rare species such as Itajahya galericulata A. Møller (Long & Stouffer 1943b, Fig. 2c). Although checklists for some groups of fungi present in the state have been published previously (e.g., Gilbertson & Budington 1970, Gilbertson et al. 1974, Gilbertson & Bigelow 1998, Fogel & States 2002), this checklist represents the first comprehensive listing of all macrofungi in the kingdom Eumycota (Fungi) that are known from Arizona.
