OMPHALINA 1 Message from the Editor It is that time of year again to get the foray report out the door and onto your screens before too much snow ÁLHVDQGSODQQLQJVWDUWVLQHUQHVWIRUWKHQH[WRQH7KLVUHSRUWGHWDLOVDQRWKHUVXFFHVVIXOIRUD\LQEHDXWLIXO Gros Morne National Park. We were lucky, once again, to have a fabulous group of participants and experts come together in search and study of the region’s fungi and lichens. This report exists because of the hard work of many folks. They helped by writing articles, sending photos, proofreading, and by compiling and studying the results. Without their dedicated efforts, there would be no report or likely, no foray. To all of you, participants, trail leaders, data base folks, faculty, organisers, a big thank you! Wishing you all the best of the holiday season and looking forward to seeing you at next year’s foray. Marian Wissink Guest Editor 2 OMPHALINA Words from the President Numbers always make me drowsy, and as usual the foray report is full of numbers. But the numbers are one of the big reasons that we do this fungus and lichen survey every year—they condense the information about the foray into a concise form, and let us compare forays from year to year and from place to place. This year we had 58 participants, including nine faculty. This means that there were a lot of both experienced and fresh eyes looking for specimens—and these are the most important tools that we use at each foray. Without your help, very few of these species would have been found. Once again, Killdevil Camp and Gros 0RUQH1DWLRQDO3DUNH[FHHGHGRXUH[SHFWDWLRQV)RUD\ZDVRXUÀIWKIRUD\LQ*URV0RUQH7KHDUHD with the national park and Sir Richard Squires Provincial Park, contains a wide diversity of habitats easily DFFHVVLEOHE\WUDLOV2IWKHWKRXVDQGVRIIXQJLDQGOLFKHQVFROOHFWHGZHUHLGHQWLÀHGDQGGDWDEDVHG³ UHSUHVHQWLQJWD[D5RJHUWRRNVSHFLPHQSKRWRJUDSKV KLVWULJJHUÀQJHULVVWLOOVPRNLQJ DQG dried specimens were added to our fungarium.

  • Hebelomina (Agaricales) Revisited and Abandoned
    Plant Ecology and Evolution 151 (1): 96–109, 2018 https://doi.org/10.5091/plecevo.2018.1361 REGULAR PAPER Hebelomina (Agaricales) revisited and abandoned Ursula Eberhardt1,*, Nicole Schütz1, Cornelia Krause1 & Henry J.

Since that time a further five species have been ascribed to the genus and one similar species within the genus Hebeloma. In total, we have studied seventeen collections that have been assigned to these seven species of Hebelomina. We provide a synopsis of the available knowledge on Hebelomina species and Hebelomina-like collections and their taxonomic placement. Methods – Hebelomina-like collections and type collections of Hebelomina species were examined morphologically and molecularly. Ribosomal RNA sequence data were used to clarify the taxonomic placement of species and collections. Key results – Hebelomina is shown to be polyphyletic and members belong to four different genera (Gymnopilus, Hebeloma, Tubaria and incertae sedis), all members of different families and clades. All but one of the species are pigment-deviant forms of normally brown-spored taxa. The type of the genus had been transferred to Hebeloma, and Vesterholt and co-workers proposed that Hebelomina be given status as a subsection of Hebeloma.

  • Do Fungal Fruitbodies and Edna Give Similar Biodiversity Assessments Across Broad Environmental Gradients?
    Supplementary material for Man against machine: Do fungal fruitbodies and eDNA give similar biodiversity assessments across broad environmental gradients? Tobias Guldberg Frøslev, Rasmus Kjøller, Hans Henrik Bruun, Rasmus Ejrnæs, Anders Johannes Hansen, Thomas Læssøe, Jacob Heilmann- Clausen 1 Supplementary methods. This study was part of the Biowide project, and many aspects are presented and discussed in more detail in Brunbjerg et al. (2017). Environmental variables. Soil samples (0-10 cm, 5 cm diameter) were collected within 4 subplots of the 130 sites and separated in organic (Oa) and mineral (A/B) soil horizons. Across all sites, a total of 664 soil samples were collected. Organic horizons were separated from the mineral horizons when both were present. Soil pH was measured on 10g soil in 30 ml deionized water, shaken vigorously for 20 seconds, and then settling for 30 minutes. Measurements were done with a Mettler Toledo Seven Compact pH meter. Soil pH of the 0-10 cm soil layer was calculated weighted for the proportion of organic matter to mineral soil (average of samples taken in 4 subplots). Organic matter content was measured as the percentage of the 0-10 cm core that was organic matter. 129 of the total samples were measured for carbon content (LECO elemental analyzer) and total phosphorus content (H2SO4-Se digestion and colorimetric analysis). NIR was used to analyze each sample for total carbon and phosphorus concentrations. Reflectance spectra was analyzed within a range of 10000-4000 cm-1 with a Antaris II NIR spectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific). A partial least square regression was used to test for a correlation between the NIR data and the subset reference analyses to calculate total carbon and phosphorous (see Brunbjerg et al.

  • December 2017
    MushRumors The Newsletter of the Northwest Mushroomers Association Volume 28, Issue 4 December 1, 2017 By Eric Worden This year’s Wild Mushroom Show was a great success in inspiring new community members to join our group! Thirty one new member/families signed up at the show. In addition, 16 existing members found it convenient to renew their memberships while at the show. Our current membership total is 226! However, due to the annual nature of the show, the seasonality of mushroom activities, and our calendar-year membership period (they expire on December 31), most (148) of our current members will have their memberships expire at the end of the year unless they renew. A graph of members by last pay date shows that this same pattern occurred last year. This graph evenly distributes all members across the chart horizontally, but positions them vertically by their last renewal date. We can see that a lot of people sign up or renew shortly before or during the show, then there is a lull during the winter, before club activities resume in the spring. Note that when you join or renew during September or later, your membership lasts through the following year. Our club relies on membership fees, in addition to Wild Mushroom Show revenue to pay for our club activities and expenses. To support the club, and to remain on the mailing list, please remember to renew! Annual memberships are $15 for families or $10 for students. If you forget, you will get a reminder email in the spring. You can renew online with a credit card or PayPal at http://www.northwestmushroomers.org/ join-or-renew-membership.

  • Cibaomyces, a New Genus of Physalacriaceae from East Asia
    Phytotaxa 162 (4): 198–210 ISSN 1179-3155 (print edition) www.mapress.com/phytotaxa/ Article PHYTOTAXA Copyright © 2014 Magnolia Press ISSN 1179-3163 (online edition) http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/phytotaxa.162.4.2 Cibaomyces, a new genus of Physalacriaceae from East Asia YAN-JIA HAO1,2, JIAO QIN1,2 & ZHU L. YANG1* 1 Key Laboratory for Plant Diversity and Biogeography of East Asia, Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Kunming 650201, Yunnan, China 2 University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100049, China *e-mail: [email protected] Abstract A new genus in Physalacriaceae, Cibaomyces, typified by C. glutinis, is described using morphological and molecular evidence. Cibaomyces is morphologically characterized by the combination of the following characters: basidioma small to medium-sized, collybioid to tricholomatoid; pileus viscid; hymenophore sinuate to subdecurrent, relatively distant, with brown lamellar edge; stipe sticky and densely covered with felted squamules; basidiospores thin-walled, ornamented with finger-like projections; cystidia nearly cylindrical, thin-walled, often heavily incrusted. Molecular phylogenetic analyses using DNA nucleotide sequences of the internal transcribed spacer region and the large subunit nuclear ribosomal RNA loci indicated that Cibaomyces was related to Gloiocephala, Laccariopsis and Rhizomarasmius. A description, line drawings, phylogenetic placement and comparison with allied taxa are presented. Key words: Basidiomycetes·distribution·new taxa·taxonomy Introduction During our study of the fungi in the Physalacriaceae in East Asia (Wang et al. 2008; Yang et al. 2009; Qin et al. 2014; Tang et al. 2014), we have found collections with echinate basidiospores, which are very similar to the species of Oudemansiella sect.

In April of2006 and 2008, expeditions were led to document the diversity of plants, amphibians, marine invertebrates and macrofungi on the West African islands of Sao Tome and Principe. This project aims to further document the diversity of macrofungi on the island by focusing on 24 mycenoid fungi collected from the expedition. Nineteen distinct species are recognized, of which nine are new to science.

Key words: macrofungi, biodiversity, taxonomy, Kütahya, Turkey ---------- ---------- Kütahya yöresi makrofunguslarının biyoçeşitliliği Özet Bu çalışmada, Kütahya yöresinde yetişen makrofunguların belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır ve, 2011 ve 2014 yılları arasında yapılan rutin arazi ve laboratuar çalışmaları sonucunda araştırma bölgesinden 57 familya, 15 takım, 5 sınıf ve 2 bölümde dağılım gösteren 332 tür belirlenmiştir. Anahtar kelimeler: makrofunguslar, biyoçeşitlilik, taksonomi, Kütahya, Türkiye 1. Introduction The studies on Turkish mycota have been carried out for more than one hundred years (Solak et al., 2015) and nearly 2400 macrofungi species have been documented in the checklists of Turkey (Solak et al., 2007; Sesli and Denchev 2008; Acar et al. 2015; Sesli et al., 2015; Solak et al., 2015; Akata et al. 2016; Doğan and Kurt 2016; Sesli et al. 2016). However, Turkish mycota have not yet been fully determined, and new macrofungi records and checklists of some limited areas have also been published by several researchers as a consequence of routine field and laboratory studies. Prior to this study, Kütahya province was the one of the areas in which macrofungi biodiversity was not determined.
