  • The Birds of Herefordshire 2015
    The Birds of Herefordshire 2015 Herefordshire Ornithological Club Annual Report Jackdaws and Hereford cattle at Much Marcle in March 2015 (Photo: Mick Colquhoun) Editorial This is the 65th annual report of the ‘Birds of Herefordshire’, the Herefordshire Ornithological Club’s (HOC) annual publication for 2015, which I hope you will enjoy reading. During the year a total of 172 species were recorded, summary details and highlights of which are presented in the systematic list section on pages 30 – 98, for which I wish to thank the species authors. An alphabetic index of species is included on pages 146 – 147 to help readers locate individual species information and a gazetteer of place names mentioned in the species accounts is provided on pages 142 – 145. The county list of species (now numbering 281) was boosted by the sighting of a Spotted Sandpiper, a county ‘first’, at Wellington Gravel Pits in May 2015 (see article on pages 28 – 29), and seven other rarities with 20 or fewer previous county records also made an appearance in Herefordshire during the year: Red-crested Pochard, Marsh Harrier, Turnstone, Temminck’s Stint, Red-necked Phalarope, Caspian Gull and Common Redpoll. A tremendous amount of effort has gone into validating the records of rarities on the county list during the past year and the review article on pages 12 – 18 makes enlightening reading and provides a definitive list and dates of sightings for all 94 rarity species with 20 or fewer records. The large increase in the number of bird records received in 2014, compared with previous years, continued in 2015 with a similar 46,000 records being utilised in compiling this annual report.

  • An Annotated Checklist of Volvariella in the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands
    Post date: June 2010 Summary published in MYCOTAXON 112: 271–273 An annotated checklist of Volvariella in the Iberian Peninsula and Balearic Islands ALFREDO JUSTO1* & MARÍA LUISA CASTRO2 *[email protected] or [email protected] 1 Biology Department, Clark University. 950 Main St. Worcester, MA 01610 USA 2 Facultade de Bioloxía, Universidade de Vigo. Campus As Lagoas-Marcosende Vigo, 36310 Spain Abstract — Species of Volvariella reported from the Iberian Peninsula (Spain, Portugal) and Balearic Islands (Spain) are listed, with data on their distribution, ecology and phenology. For each taxon a list of all collections examined and a map of its distribution is given. According to our revision 12 taxa of Volvariella occur in the area. Key words — Agaricales, Agaricomycetes, Basidiomycota, biodiverstity, Pluteaceae Introduction Volvariella Speg. is a genus traditionally classified in the family Pluteaceae Kotl. & Pouzar (Agaricales, Basidiomycota), but recent molecular research has challenged its monophyly and taxonomic position within the Agaricales (Moncalvo et al. 2002, Matheny et al. 2006). Its main characteristics are the pluteoid basidiomes (i.e. free lamellae; context of pileus and stipe discontinuous), universal veil present in mature specimens as a saccate volva at stipe base, brownish-pink spores in mass and mainly the inverse lamellar trama. It comprises about 50 species (Kirk et al. 2008) and is widely distributed around the world (Singer 1986). Monographic studies of the genus have been mostly carried out in Europe (Kühner & Romagnesi 1956, Orton 1974, 1986; Boekhout 1990) North America (Shaffer 1957) and Africa (Heinemann 1975, Pegler 1977). In the Iberian Peninsula (Spain, Portugal) and Balearic Islands (Spain) the records of Volvariella are scattered, as they are often included in general checklists and prior to our study the only taxonomic paper on this genus, in this area, was an article by Vila et al.

  • 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.
