Llistosella15 Key words Abstract A comprehensive morphological and genetic study of type material and new collections of sequestrate Russulales species formerly belonging to the genera Arcangeliella, Elasmomyces, Gymnomyces, Hydnangium, angiocarpic Hymenogaster, Macowanites, Martellia, Secotium and Zelleromyces is here undertaken, for the purpose of providing Arcangeliella a complete taxonomical revision of sequestrate Russulaceae species in the Mediterranean and temperate regions Elasmomyces of Europe. As a result, seven distinct taxa in the genus Lactarius and 18 in the genus Russula are identified. Six Europe of them are new species: L. populicola, L. subgiennensis, R. bavarica, R. candidissima, R. hobartiae and R. medi­ Gymnomyces terraneensis, and seven represent new combinations: L. josserandii (≡ Zelleromyces josserandii), L. soehneri Lactarius (≡ Hydnangium soehneri), R. candida (≡ Hydnangium candidum), R. cerea (≡ Hydnangium cereum), R. messapica Macowanites var. messapicoides (≡ Macowanites messapicoides), R. meridionalis (≡ Zelleromyces meridionalis) and R. neuhoffii Martellia (≡ Hydnangium neuhoffii). Twenty-two of the 25 taxa are illustrated, while descriptions, microscopy images, as well pseudoangiocarpic as extensive information on the ecology, chorology and phylogeny for all taxa are provided. A key is further included taxonomy to facilitate their identification. Zelleromyces Article info Received: 2 July 2018; Accepted: 4 December 2018; Published: 5 April 2019.

  • 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.

In addition. I welcome the privilege of expressing my sincere appreciation to the membership of The Mycological Society of America for al- lowing me to serve them as President and Secretary-Treasurer of the Society. It has been a long and rewarding association. Finally, it is with great pleasure and gratitude that I dedicate this lecture to Dr. Alexander H. Smith, Emeritus Professor of Botany at the University of Michigan, who, over thirty years ago in a moment of weakness, agreed to accept me as a graduate student and who has spent a good portion of the ensuing years patiently explaining to me the intricacies, inconsis- tencies and attributes of the higher fungi. Thank you, Alex, for the invaluable experience and privilege of spending so many delightful and profitable hours with you. The purpose of this lecture is to explore the possible relationships between the gill fungi and the secotioid fungi, both epigeous and hypogeous, and to present a hypothesis regarding the direction of their evolution. Earlier studies on the secotioid fungi have been made by Harkness (I), Zeller (13). Zeller and Dodge (14, 15), Singer (2), Smith (5.

Bandala* & Leticia Montoya [email protected]; [email protected] Biodiversidad y Sistemática, Instituto de Ecología, A.C. P.O. Box 63, Xalapa, Veracruz 91000, Mexico Abstract — Lactarius fumosibrunneus, a species considered in the literature contaxic with L. fumosus, is interpreted here as an independent taxon due to the differences in the structure of pileipellis and presence of cystidia. Recognition of L. fumosibrunneus is supported by morphological comparison with original collections, Mexican samples, and type specimens of related taxa. Collections of L. fumosibrunneus were found in the Mexican montane cloud forest of Central Veracruz (east coast of Mexico) where it appears to be ectomycorrhizal partner of the tree Fagus grandifolia var. mexicana. Key words — ectomycorrhizal fungi, Fagaceae, neotropical fungi, Russulaceae, taxonomy Introduction Lactarius fumosibrunneus A.H. Sm. & Hesler is an American member of subgenus Plinthogalus (Burl.) Hesler & A.H. Sm. described by Smith & Hesler (1962) from Michigan, U.S.A. Based on the macroscopical resemblance of L. fumosibrunneus with L. fumosus Peck, Hesler & Smith (1979) considered it as conspecific. During a regular monitoring of the Mexican montane cloud forest in Veracruz (east coast of Mexico) by the authors (Montoya et al. 2010), some populations of a taxon macroscopically close to the aforementioned species were observed.

This paper summarizes the results of the first genetic diversity assessments of Russula and Lactarius, two of the most diverse and abundant fungal genera in Alaska. LSU rDNA sequences from both curated sporocarp collections and soil PCR clone libraries sampled in various types of boreal forests of Alaska were subjected to phylogenetic and statistical ecological analyses. Our diversity assessments suggest that the genus Russula and Lactarius are highly diverse in Alaska. Some of these taxa were identified to known species, while others either matched unidentified sequences in reference databases or belonged to novel, previously unsequenced groups. Taxa in both genera showed strong habitat preference to one of the two major forest types in the sampled regions (black spruce forests and birch-aspen-white spruce forests), as supported by statistical tests. Our results demonstrate high diversity and strong ecological partitioning in two important ectomycorrhizal genera within a relatively small geographic region, but with implications to the expansive boreal forests.

Fr., L. fumosus fumosus Peck and L.fumosus.fumosoides (Smith and Hesler) Smith and Hesler were toxic to the corn earworm, Heliothis zea (L.), while water extracts were inactive. Ether: acetone extracts of L. fuliginosus and L. fumosus fumosus were toxic to the large milkweed bug, Oncopeltusfasciatus (L.), and in some cases caused precocious development. Profiles of compounds separated chromatographically and visualized with chromene reagents, literature reports ofchromenes from L. fuliginosus, and known insecticidal/anti­ hormone effects of chromenes suggest that chromenes may be responsible for the activity of some of the extracts.
