HI 02XXI November 29, 1985 I rlrpha~~lc:Idll, 79?-1hlY Dear Fellow Mycologists: As I begin this letter, I cannot help but think of the many esteemed and ex- cellent mycologists who have occupied this position before me, and I am profoundly aware of the honor and privilege you have given me in electing me to this office. I thank you for the opportunity to serve you as President and pledge to you my best efforts to make it another successful year for the Society. Our meetings in Gainesville were most successful. The meeting was well attended, the facilities were excellent, and the Program Committee, Local Committees and all others involved did an outstanding job. I am sure that all who attended came away with pleasant memories. Plans are well along for the meetings in Amherst. Iris Charvat, our Program Committee Chair, has been hard at work, as has Howard Bigelow, our local representa- tive. At least two workshops, one on VA mycorrhizae and another on Hyphomycete identi- fication, are planned. We also are meeting jointly with the Medical Mycological Soc- iety of America and an outstanding joint symposium is being developed. Knowing Dr. Bigelow and the Amherst region, I am sure that field oriented mycologists can look for- ward to good collecting on the annual foray. All in all, it looks 1 ike an excellent meeting is in the making, so make your plans now to attend. The Society will be electing several new officers in the coming year, including successors to Harold Burdsall and Amy Rossman, who have served us so well in their respective offices as Secretary and Treasurer. Elections are important events in the life of any organization, and I urge you all to take part in the momination and elec- tions pr'ocess. I share with Past-President Henry Aldrich concern about the long-term health of mycology (note his letter of last year) and the Mycological Society of America. This concern is fostered by a continuing decline in graduate student applications, and fre- quent reports of a lack of grant funding for research in mycology. This trend is not restricted to mycology but seems to be occurring in many areas of biology; that makes it no less real for our profession, however. If any of you have thoughts or sugges- tions for countering these trends, they would be welcomed by the Council. In closing, may I wish each of you a successful and fulfilling year in your chosen pursuits. I hope to greet many of you personally at Amherst.

A key to the Boletales from Belize and the Dominican Republic is provided, followed by descriptions, drawings of the micro-structures and photographs of each identified species. Approximately 456 collections from Belize and 222 from the Dominican Republic were studied comprising 58 species of boletes, greatly augmenting the knowledge of the diversity of this group in the Caribbean Basin. A total of 52 species in 14 genera were identified from Belize, including 14 new species. Twenty-nine of the previously described species are new records for Belize and 11 are new for Central America. In the Dominican Republic, 14 species in 7 genera were found, including 4 new species, with one of these new species also occurring in Belize, i.e. Retiboletus vinaceipes. Only one of the previously described species found in the Dominican Republic is a new record for Hispaniola and the Caribbean.

Title: Ecology of Craterellus tubaeformj',AI in Westerrj..Qron.il/Ill Signature redactSignature redacted for privacy. Abstract approved: A. Castellano Robert P. Griffith Craterellus tuba eformis is a small to medium-sized forest mushroom that is fairly common in the Douglas-fir/western hemlock forests of the Pacific Northwestern United States and is most often associated with decayed coarse woody debris. In this study, the mycorrhizae of Craterellus tubaeformis in western Oregon is identified by DNA analysis using polymerase chain reaction (PCR) amplification and restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) typing, and the mantle morphology isdescribed. Host associations with western hemlock, Douglas-fir5 and Sitka spruce are identified using the same molecular techniques, with Craterellus tubaeformis most commonly associated with western hemlock. Differences in genetic sequences and host associations between western North America, eastern North America, and. Europe are presented, and the possibility that variants of Craterellus. tubaeformis from the different geographies might deserve their own species epithets is discussed. The dependency of Craterellus tubaeformis on late seral stands and abundance of coarse woody debris was quantified by surveying 64 plots in the Coast and Cascade ranges of western Oregon.Logistic regression showed that the odds of Craterellus tubaeformis occurrence increased with stand age and coarse woody debris (CWD) volumes, however it is often found in younger stands. The likelihood of Craterellus tubaeformis occurrence in a stand was highly correlated to the presence of western hemlock. Linear regression analysis showed no significant relationships between stand age, CWD volume, slope, elevation, or aspect on Craterellus tuba eformis biomass productivity, though well- decayed CWD was the substrate for 88% of the collected biomass.

    SOMANEWS From the Sonoma County Mycological Association VOLUME 28: 7 MARCH 2016 SOMA Speaker: Catharine Adams March 17 At the Sonoma County Farm Bureau “How the Death Cap Mushroom Conquered the World” Cat Adams is interested in how chemical ecology in- fluences interactions between plants and fungi. For her PhD in Tom Bruns’ lab, Cat is studying the inva- sive ectomycorrhizal fungus, Amanita phalloides. The death cap mushroom kills more people than any oth- er mushroom, but how the deadly amatoxins influ- ence its invasion remains unexplored. Previously, Cat earned her M.A. with Anne Pringle at Harvard University. Her thesis examined fungal pathogens of the wild Bolivian chili pepper, Capsi- cum chacoense, and how the fungi evolved tolerance to spice. With the Joint Genome Institute, she is now sequencing the genome of one fungal isolate, a Pho- mopsis species, to better understand the novel en- zymes these fungi wield to outwit their plant host.

    Randy Molina, David Pilz, Jane Smith, Susie Dunham, Tina Dreisbach, Thomas O’Dell & Michael Castellano (2001). Conservation and management of forest fungi in the Pacific Northwestern United States: an integrated ecosystem approach. Chapter 3 in Fungal Conservation: Issues and Solutions (ed. Moore, D., Nauta, M. M., Evans, S. E. & Rotheroe, M.). Cambridge University Press: Cambridge, U.K. Chapter 3 Conservation and management of forest fungi in the Pacific Northwestern United States: an integrated ecosystem approach RANDY MOLINA, DAVID PILZ, JANE SMITH, SUSIE DUNHAM, TINA DREISBACH, THOMAS O’DELL & MICHAEL CASTELLANO Introduction The vast forests of the Pacific Northwest region of the United States, an area outlined by the states of Oregon, Washington, and Idaho, are well known for their rich diversity of macrofungi. The forests are dominated by trees in the Pinaceae with about 20 species in the genera Abies, Larix, Picea, Pinus, Pseudotsuga, and Tsuga. All form ectomycorrhizas with fungi in the Basidiomycota, Ascomycota, and a few Zygomycota. Other ectomycorrhizal genera include Alnus, Arbutus, Arctostaphylos, Castinopsis, Corylus, Lithocarpus, Populus, Quercus, and Salix, often occurring as understory or early-successional trees. Ectomycorrhizal fungi number in the thousands; as many as 2,000 species associate with widespread dominant trees such as Douglas-fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) (Trappe, 1977). The Pacific Northwest region also contains various ecozones on diverse soil types that range from extremely wet coastal forests to xeric interior forests, found at elevations from sea level to timber line at 2,000 to 3,000 metres. The combination of diverse ectomycorrhizal host trees inhabiting steep environmental and physical gradients has yielded perhaps the richest forest mycota of any temperate forest zone.

  • Systematics of the Genus Rhizopogon Inferred from Nuclear Ribosomal DNA Large Subunit and Internal Transcribed Spacer Sequences
    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Lisa C. Grubisha for the degree of Master of Science in Botany and Plant Pathology presented on June 22, 1998. Title: Systematics of the Genus Rhizopogon Inferred from Nuclear Ribosomal DNA Large Subunit and Internal Transcribed Spacer Sequences. Abstract approved Redacted for Privacy Joseph W. Spatafora Rhizopogon is a hypogeous fungal genus that forms ectomycorrhizae with genera of the Pinaceae. The greatest number and species of Rhizopogon are found in coniferous forests of the Pacific Northwestern United States, where members of the Pinaceae are also concentrated. Rhizopogon spp. are host-specific primarily with Pinus spp. and Pseudotsuga spp. and thus are an important component of these forest ecosystems. Rhizopogon includes over 100 species; however, the systematics of Rhizopogon have not been well understood. Currently the genus is placed in the Boletales, an order of ectomycorrhizal fungi that are primarily epigeous and have a tubular hymenium. Suillus is a stipitate genus closely related to Rhizopogon that is also in the Boletales and host specific with Pinaceae.I examined the relationship of Rhizopogon to Suillus and other genera in the Boletales. Infrageneric relationships in Rhizopogon were also investigated to test current taxonomic hypotheses and species concepts. Through phylogenetic analyses of large subunit and internal transcribed spacer nuclear ribosomal DNA sequences, I found that Rhizopogon and Suillus formed distinct monophyletic groups. Rhizopogon was composed of four distinct groups; sections Amylopogon and Villosuli were strongly supported monophyletic groups. Section Rhizopogon was not monophyletic, and formed two distinct clades. Section Fulviglebae formed a strongly supported group within section Villosuli.
