  • Mushroom Root Rot Republished for the Internet April 2008
    FOREST AND SHADE TREE PESTS Leaflet Number 11 Published Feb 1994 Mushroom Root Rot Republished for the Internet April 2008 SIGNIFICANCE Mushroom Root Rot, caused by the fungus Armillaria tabescens (syn. Clitocybe tabescens and Armillariella tabescens), is a common and widespread disease affecting both conifers and hardwoods in Florida. This disease occurs statewide and has been reported on more than 200 species of trees and shrubs. RECOGNITION Affected plants can show one or more of a variety of symptoms, including: thinning of the crown, yellowing of foliage, premature defoliation, branch dieback, decaying roots, Fig. 1. Typical cluster of mushrooms of Armillaria tabescens. At right, cluster windthrow, and lesions at excavated and displayed to show common base and spore-producing gills under mushroom caps. the root collar. Some host plants show symptoms of decline for several years before dying. Others die rapidly without any obvious prior symptoms. Mushroom root rot can often be identified without laboratory diagnosis. Conspicuous clusters of mushrooms, (Fig. 1.) which sometimes appear near the base of infected trees, are the most easily recognized diagnostic indicators of the disease. These mushrooms are usually produced in the fall, but they can occur at other times as well. When fresh they are tan to brown, fleshy, with gills beneath the cap, and lacking a ring (annulus) around the stem. While the presence of the characteristic mushrooms is a sure indicator of mushroom root rot, the lack of these fruiting bodies does not indicate the absence of disease. Mushrooms are not formed every year and they decay rapidly when they do appear.

Burdsall, Jr. Printed in Eko-trykk A/S, Førde, Norway Printing date: 1. August 1995 ISBN 82-90724-14-4 ISSN 0802-4966 A Nomenclatural Study of Armillaria and Armillariella species (Basidiomycotina, Tricholomataceae) by Thomas J. Volk & Harold H. Burdsall, Jr. Synopsis Fungorum 8 Fungiflora - Oslo - Norway 6 Authors address: Center for Forest Mycology Research Forest Products Laboratory United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service One Gifford Pinchot Dr. Madison, WI 53705 USA ABSTRACT Once a taxonomic refugium for nearly any white-spored agaric with an annulus and attached gills, the concept of the genus Armillaria has been clarified with the neotypification of Armillaria mellea (Vahl:Fr.) Kummer and its acceptance as type species of Armillaria (Fr.:Fr.) Staude. Due to recognition of different type species over the years and an extremely variable generic concept, at least 274 species and varieties have been placed in Armillaria (or in Armillariella Karst., its obligate synonym). Only about forty species belong in the genus Armillaria sensu stricto, while the rest can be placed in forty-three other modem genera. This study is based on original descriptions in the literature, as well as studies of type specimens and generic and species concepts by other authors. This publication consists of an alphabetical listing of all epithets used in Armillaria or Armillariella, with their basionyms, currently accepted names, and other obligate and facultative synonyms.

Gareth Jones, [email protected] Abstract: Phylogenetic analyses of four nuclear genes, namely the large and small subunits of the nuclear ribosomal RNA, transcription elongation factor 1-alpha and the second largest RNA polymerase II subunit, established that the ecological group of marine bitunicate ascomycetes has representatives in the orders Capnodiales, Hysteriales, Jahnulales, Mytilinidiales, Patellariales and Pleosporales. Most of the fungi sequenced were intertidal mangrove taxa and belong to members of 12 families in the Pleosporales: Aigialaceae, Didymellaceae, Leptosphaeriaceae, Lenthitheciaceae, Lophiostomataceae, Massarinaceae, Montagnulaceae, Morosphaeriaceae, Phaeosphaeriaceae, Pleosporaceae, Testudinaceae and Trematosphaeriaceae. Two new families are described: Aigialaceae and Morosphaeriaceae, and three new genera proposed: Halomassarina, Morosphaeria and Rimora.

  • The Maturity Index Applied to Soil Gamasine Mites from Five Natural
    Applied Soil Ecology 34 (2006) 1–9 www.elsevier.com/locate/apsoil The maturity index applied to soil gamasine mites from five natural forests in Austria Tamara Cˇ oja *, Alexander Bruckner Institute of Zoology, Department of Integrative Biology, University of Natural Resources and Applied Life Sciences, Gregor-Mendel-Strasse 33, 1180 Vienna, Austria Received 27 June 2005; received in revised form 9 January 2006; accepted 16 January 2006 Abstract In this study, we tested the performance of the gamasine mites maturity index of (Ruf, A., 1998. A maturity index for gamasid soil mites (Mesostigmata: Gamsina) as an indicator of environmental impacts of pollution on forest soils. Appl. Soil Ecol. 9, 447– 452) in five natural forest reserves in eastern Austria. These sites were assumed to be stable and undisturbed reference habitats. The maturity indices of the gamasine communities were near their maximum in the investigated stands, and thus performed well towards the ‘‘high end’’ of the total range of the index. An occasionally inundated floodplain forest yielded much lower values. However, the correlation of the index with humus type, as proposed by Ruf et al. (Ruf, A., Beck, L., Dreher, P., Hund-Rienke, K., Ro¨mbke, J., Spelda, J., 2003. A biological classification concept for the assessment of soil quality: ‘‘biological soil classification scheme’’ (BBSK). Agric. Ecosyst. Environ. 98, 263–271) for managed forests, was not found. This indicates that the humus form is not a good predictor of the index over its entire range and is inappropriate to assess the fit of test communities. Fourteen percent of the species in this study were omitted from index calculation because adequate data for their families are lacking.

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.
