A Revised List of the Agaricoid and Boletoid Basidiomycetes from India Andnepal P,roc. Indian Acad. Sci. (Plant Sci.), Vol. 92, Number 2, April 1983, pp. 81 --213. ~)Printed in India A revised list of the agaricoid and boletoid basidiomycetes from India andNepal B MANJULA Centre for Advanced Studies in Botany, University of Madras, Madras 600 005, India MS received 13 December 1982 Abr~rtmt. Mostof the knowledgeof Agaricales of the Indian subcontinent was based upon Berkeley's desc¡ of the collections made by Sir J D Hooker, mostly in Sikkim and the Khasi Hills. These specimens were deposited in the Herbarium of the Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew. Recent years have wimessed a fundamental change in agaric taxonomy, with a major emphasis being placed on microstrticture. It has therefore become necessary to re-evaluate the early species of Berkeley and to ascertain their microstructure. The present study is ah attempt towards this end. In addition, the nomenciature of all published records of the Indian agaricoid and boletoid basidiomycetes has been revised and a modern check-list, together with keys to the species, is presented. Keywords. Taxonomicrevision of type material : 28 Com. Nov.; 22 syn. nov.; Agaricales; Boletales. 1. Introduction The first attempt to provide a complete list of fungi reported from India was published by Butler and Bisby (1931). This was revised by Vasudeva (1960) who extended the" list to include all species reported from India up to the end of 1952. Although Vasudeva's list (1960) remains the standard work, scveral additional lists have appeared (Mundkur 1938; Ramakrishnan and Subramanian 1952; Subramanian and Ramakrishnan 1958; Subramanian and Tyagi 1964; Tandon and Chandra 1964; Tilak and Rao 1968; Mukerji and Juneja 1974; Bilgrami et al 1979). In ali cases the classification adopted followed the early arrangement provided by Saccardo (1882-1931). In recent years, there has been an increasing interest in the Agaricales of India and, in addition, the advance of agaric taxonomy has rendered the Saccardoan classification largely obsolete. There is an urgent need for an updated list with a revised classification: the present paper attempts to fulfil this need. It includes all reliable records from the Republic of India (Map 1) and the Kingdom of Nepal, but does not include the Peoples Republic of Bangladesh, the Islamic Republic of Pakistan of the Republic of Sri Lanka. Further, it does not include records of species for which no descriptive data have been provided, e.g. Sathe and Rahalkar (1975, 1978) and Sathe and Sasangan (1977). The Indian subcontinent comprises a vast landmass covering 3,268,090 sq km lying between latitudes 8-37ON and longitudes 68-97~ It is isolated from the test of Asia by the mountain ranges of the Himalayas in the North. Geographically, four main regions may be defined: (a) the Himalayas, representing the highest mountain system in the world, extends across northern India from west to east. Much of the early collecting of Indian agarics was undertaken in the foothills of the Himalayas, ~specially in Darjeeling, Khasia Hills and Simla. Relatively low temperatures ate recorded in these hill stations, which have an annual mean temperature of 12-14oc. 81 82 B Manjula xA.~~zl MAPI ~at~w,w \, xlcmu~ The mycoflora is therefore decidedly temperate in its composition, and many species familiar to the north temperate regions of Europe and North America ate to be found there. (b) Indo-Gangetic Plain, covers 643,700 sq km formed by the river basins of the Indus, Ganges and Brahmaputra. This area is largely tropical with a mean annual temperature of 26~ Much of the region experiences a high rainfall, especially in Meghalaya where, in Cherrapunji, a maximum annual rainfall of 10800 mm has been recorded. In Assam a tropical rain-forest vegetation exists, elements of which ate shown to have affinities with the forests of Kerala in the lar South. The Indo-Gangetic Plain is an area of high population and extensive culti- vation and so little collecting of fleshy fungi has been undertaken, apart from Assam and the Calcutta region of West Bengal. (c) The Indian "Desert, is a region to the north-west of India, covering Rajasthan, having minimum rainfall and few fleshy fungi. (d) Deccan Plateau, (of PenŸ plateau), is the oldest landmass in India. In the north it is bordered by the Vindhya Mountains, with an altitudinal range of 450-1220 m, and is separated from the Arabian Sea coast and the Bay of Bengal coast by the Westem Ghats and Eastern Ghats respectively. The Ghats have an altitudinal range of around 500-650 m. The Western and Eastern Ghats meet at the Nilgiri Hills in Tamil Nadu State, where fairly extensive collecting of Agaricales has been undertaken. In the areas of higher elevation, a sub-temperate mycoflora is to be found, whilst in Kerala the fungus flora shows-much closer affinities to that of Sri Agaricoid and boletoid basidiom)icetes 83 Lanka. The plains of Southern India experience periods of high temperature and humidity. The climate of India is govemed by the tropical monsoon, ostablishing three seasons, a period of cool conditions from November to February, a hot season from March to June, anda rainy season from June to October. Best collecting of the fleshy agarics is achieved during the early days of the early monsoon period. The following account is divided into two parts. Part Iis a taxonomic revision of a number of species, especially those described by Berkeley and Massee. New infor- mation obtained from a study of the type material is presented. Part II is a list of the genera and species arranged taxonomically according to the clas.sification of Singer (1975) for the Agaricales, Pegler and Young (1979) for the Russulales and Pegler and Young (1981) for the Boletales. Twenty-eight new combinations are proposed and 22 taxa have been reduced to synonymy. Five hundred and thirty-eight species are recognised, arranged in 115 genera and 20 families. Part I. A revision of the Indian type material deposited in the herbarlum, Royal Botanieal Gardens, Kew This is a taxonomic revision of type material mostly described by Berkeley and Massee, and now deposited in the Herbarium of the Royal Botanical Gardens, Kew. Many of these collections are accompanied by water-colour illustrations provided by the original collector. In the case of species described by Berkeley, the coUections and paintings were provided by Sir J D Hooker. The species are arranged alphabeti- cally according to their epithet. Wherever possible additional information on the microcharacters is given and Iine drawings are provided for both the overall habit and microstructures. The structures of the hymenium, pileipellis and the spores were examined by mo,mting in ten per cent potassium hydroxide solution and/or Melzer's reagent, and drawings were made with the aid of a camera lucida attachment.

Sargento Cabral 2131, CC 209 Corrientes Capital, CP 3400, Argentina 2Instituto de Investigaciones Biotecnológicas (UNSAM-CONICET) Intendente Marino Km 8.200, Chascomús, Buenos Aires, CP 7130, Argentina CORRESPONDENCE TO *: [email protected] ABSTRACT— A species checklist of 86 genera and 709 species belonging to the families Tricholomataceae and Polyporaceae occurring in Argentina, and including all the species previously published up to year 2011 is presented. KEY WORDS—Agaricomycetes, Marasmius, Mycena, Collybia, Clitocybe Introduction The aim of the Checklist of the Argentinean Agaricales is to establish a baseline of knowledge on the diversity of mushrooms species described in the literature from Argentina up to 2011. The families Amanitaceae, Pluteaceae, Hygrophoraceae, Coprinaceae, Strophariaceae, Bolbitaceae and Crepidotaceae were previoulsy compiled (Niveiro & Albertó 2012a-c). In this contribution, the families Tricholomataceae and Polyporaceae are presented. Materials & Methods Nomenclature and classification systems This checklist compiled data from the available literature on Tricholomataceae and Polyporaceae recorded for Argentina up to the year 2011. Nomenclature and classification systems followed Singer (1986) for families. The genera Pleurotus, Panus, Lentinus, and Schyzophyllum are included in the family Polyporaceae. The Tribe Polyporae (including the genera Polyporus, Pseudofavolus, and Mycobonia) is excluded. There were important rearrangements in the families Tricholomataceae and Polyporaceae according to Singer (1986) over time to present. Tricholomataceae was distributed in six families: Tricholomataceae, Marasmiaceae, Physalacriaceae, Lyophyllaceae, Mycenaceae, and Hydnaginaceae. Some genera belonging to this family were transferred to other orders, i.e. Rickenella (Rickenellaceae, Hymenochaetales), and Lentinellus (Auriscalpiaceae, Russulales).

  • 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.

Current Research in Environmental & Applied Mycology 5(3), 213–247, Doi 10.5943/cream/5/3/6 Abstract This paper includes the results of eco-taxonomic studies of coprophilous mushrooms in Punjab, India. The information is based on the survey to dung localities of the state during the various years from 2007-2011. A total number of 172 collections have been observed, growing as saprobes on dung of various domesticated and wild herbivorous animals in pastures, open areas, zoological parks, and on dung heaps along roadsides or along village ponds, etc. High coprophilous mushrooms’ diversity has been established and a number of rare and sensitive species recorded with the present study. The observed collections belong to 95 species spread over 20 genera and 07 families of the order Agaricales. The present paper discusses the distribution of these mushrooms in Punjab among different seasons, regions, habitats, and growing habits along with their economic utility, habitat management and conservation. This is the first attempt in which various dung localities of the state has been explored systematically to ascertain the diversity, seasonal availability, distribution and ecology of coprophilous mushrooms.

China 2 Graduate School of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Beijing 100039, P. R. China Abstract—Species of the genus Chlorophyllum (Agaricaceae) in China are described and illustrated with line drawings. Among them, C. sphaerosporum is new to science, and C. hortense is new to China. A key to the Chlorophyllum species in China is also provided. Key words—Agaricales, new taxon, new record, taxonomy, distribution Introduction The genus Chlorophyllum Massee (Agaricaceae, Agaricales, Basidiomycetes) in its amended sense is characterized by a hymenidermal pileus covering, a smooth stipe, and basidiospores without a germ pore or with a germ pore but just caused by a depression in the episporium. A hyaline covering on the germ pore is absent. The basidiospores may be white, green, brownish or brown in deposit, and the habit varies from agaricoid to secotioid (Vellinga 2001, 2002, 2003a, b; Vellinga & de Kok 2002; Vellinga et al. 2003). During our survey of the lepiotoid fungi in China, several species were identified, and one new species of the genus was encountered and thus described below. Differences between similar species are provided and discussed. Material and methods All material examined collected in China, and deposited in three Herbaria. Herbarium codes used follow Holmgren et al. (1990) with one exception: HKAS = Herbarium of Cryptogams, Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences, which is not listed in the index or relevant publications.

This unusual fungus forms white, sterile rhizomorphs bearing abundant club-shaped branches. Its evolutionary origins are unknown because reproductive struc- tures have never been found. Recent collections and observations of R. corynecarpos were made from Belize, Brazil, Ecuador, Guyana, and Peru. Phylogenetic analyses of three nuclear rDNA regions (internal transcribed spacer, large ribosomal subunit, and small ribosomal subunit) were conducted to resolve the phylogenetic relationship of R. corynecarpos. Results show that this fungus is sister to Brunneocorticium bisporum—a widely distributed, tropical crust fungus. These two taxa along with Neocampanella blastanos form a clade within the primarily mushroom-forming Marasmiaceae. Based on phylogenetic evidence and micromorphological similarities, we propose the new combination, Brunneocorticium corynecarpon, to accommodate this species. Brunneocorticium corynecarpon is a pathogen, infecting the crowns of trees and shrubs in the Neotropics; the long, dangling rhizomorphs with lateral prongs probably colonize neighboring trees. Longer-distance dispersal can be accomplished by birds as it is used as construction material in nests of various avian species. Keywords Agaricales . Fungal systematics .

  • Identification of the Armillaria Root Rot Pathogen in Ethiopian
    For. Path. 34 (2004) 133–145 Ó 2004 Blackwell Verlag, Berlin ISSN 1437–4781 Identification of the Armillaria root rot pathogen in Ethiopian plantations By A. Gezahgne1, M. P. A. Coetzee2, B. D.

In Ethiopia, the disease has previously been reported on Pinus spp., Coffea arabica and on various native hardwoods. The causal agent of the disease has been attributed to Armillaria mellea, a species now known to represent a complex of many different taxa. The aim of this study was to determine the extent of Armillaria root rot and the identity of the Armillaria sp. in Ethiopian plantations. As part of a plantation disease survey in 2000 and 2001, samples were collected in plantations at and around Munessa Shashemene, Wondo Genet, Jima, Mizan and Bedele, in south and south-western Ethiopia. Basidiocarps were collected and their morphology studied. Morphological identification was confirmed by sequencing the intergenic spacer (IGS-1) region of the ribosomal rRNA operon and comparing data with published sequences of Armillaria spp. Armillaria isolates were collected from Acacia abyssinica, Pinus patula, Cedrela odorata and Cordia alliodora trees. Sporocarps were found on stumps of native Juniperus excelsa. Basidiocarp morphology and sequence data suggested that the fungus in Ethiopia is similar to that causing disease of Pinus spp.
