Mycoflora of Spain. Abstract: Mycena conicoalba is proposed as a new species belonging to sect. Supinae, growing on bark of Quercus ilex subsp. ballota, in evergreen, Mediterranean forest. It differs from similar species especially by its caulo- and cheilocystidia as well as its characteristic habitat. Zusammenfassung: Mycena conicoalba, die auf der Rinde von Quercus ilex subsp. ballota im im- mergrünen mediterranen Wald wächst, wird als neue Art der Sektion Supinae vorgeschlagen. Sie un- terscheidet sich von ähnlichen Arten besonders durch ihre Kaulo- und Cheilozystiden sowie durch ihr charakteristisches Habitat. Small, corticolous species of Mycena are quite common growing on bark of living Quercus spp after heavy rainfall This new species reminded of Mycena alba (BRES. apud SACC.) KÜHNER when collected, owing to its white basidiomata; however, micro- scopic features revealed that it belongs to a different section.

SAMP. Collection examined: see holotypus. Observations: Following the key to sect. Supinae KONR. & MAUBL. (MAAS GEESTERANUS 1984), Mycena comcoalba comes close to M. supina (FR.) KUMM, which can be distinguished by the different shape and colour of pileus and stipe, but above all, by the hyphae of the pileipellis, which do not form coralloid masses, another clear difference is the presence of caulocystidia all over the stipe in the new species. Recently discovered in Norway, Mycena juniperina ARONSEN (ARONSEN 1996), an- other member of this section, differs from M. conicoalba in the brown or yellowish pileus, beige to pale brown stipe, cheilocystidia covered with long and furcate excres- cences and its peculiar habitat, living on bark of Juniperus communis L. Mycena cu- pressina ANTONJN & MAAS G.

This mushroom intoxication is ascribed to 35 amatoxin-containing species belonging to three genera: Amanita, Galerina, and Lepiota. The major amatoxins, the a-, b-, and g-amanitins, are bicyclic octapeptide derivatives that damage the liver and kidney via irreversible binding to RNA polymerase II. Methods: The mycology and clinical syndrome of amatoxin poisoning are reviewed. Clinical data from 2108 hospitalized amatoxin poisoning exposures as reported in the medical literature from North America and Europe over the last 20 years were compiled. Preliminary medical care, supportive measures, specific treatments used singly or in combination, and liver transplantation were characterized. Specific treatments consisted of detoxication procedures (e.g., toxin removal from bile and urine, and extra- corporeal purification) and administration of drugs.

Bettini 14/11, I16162 Genova, Italy Abstract— The paper is aimed at integrating and updating the first edition of the checklist of Ligurian macrofungi. Data are related to mycological researches carried out mainly in some holm-oak woods through last three years. The new taxa collected amount to 172: 15 of them belonging to Ascomycota and 157 to Basidiomycota. It should be highlighted that 12 taxa have been recorded for the first time in Italy and many species are considered rare or infrequent. Each taxa reported consists of the following items: Latin name, author, habitat, height, and the WGS-84 Global Position System (GPS) coordinates. This work, together with the original Ligurian checklist, represents a contribution to the national checklist. Key words—mycological flora, new reports Introduction Liguria represents a very interesting region from a mycological point of view: macrofungi, directly and not directly correlated to vegetation, are frequent, abundant and quite well distributed among the species. This topic is faced and discussed in Zotti & Orsino (2001). Observations prove an high level of fungal biodiversity (sometimes called “mycodiversity”) since Liguria, though covering only about 2% of the Italian territory, shows more than 36 % of all the species recorded in Italy.

Some Phylogeny: Five New species have also been reported as edible fungi with high nutritional quality.
