I must say that the last three years and their accompanying offices have been considerably less hectic than the first three! But I have derived much pleasure and satisfaction from serving you and I am grateful for the honor you accorded me when you elected me President. Following a shaky start at the beginning of the decade (we counted a net increase of only 39 new members in all categories from December 1959 to December 196~)~the Society has come back strongly. During the period December 1961 to December 1964 we registered a net increase of slightly over 300 new members. This phenomenal growth of about 28% in three years was the result of the efforts of many dedicated members of the Society; but one person, Dr. C. T. Rogerson, must be singled out as having done much more than his share in bringing about our revival, if not our survival. Following a period of 13 months during which only one issue of bfycologia was published, Dr. Rogerson guided 21 issues of the journal through the press in 24 months, and Mycologia once again was appearing regu- larly by early 1963. His job having been done exceedingly well, Clark is resigning as Editor-in-Chief this summer. Dr. Robert W. Lichtwardt has consented to take on this de- manding task. I wish him well. Several other items of business of considerable importance to the Society have been completed or brought nearer to completion during the past year. The MSA brochure -A Career -in Mycology has been revised by Dr. Beneke and his committee, Drs. Routien, Kneebone, and Shigo; it now is in the hands of the printer. Work on the Mycology Guidebook is progressing satisfactorily according to Dr. R. B. Stevens, Chairman of the Guidebook Committee, and he hopes by this fall to have a "first editionf' ready for trial by a few selected graduate students under the supervision of the various committee members (~rs. Barnett, Beneke, Emerson, Farr, Gray, Korf, and Simmons). Of great significance to us all has been the revision of the Constitution which was a prerequisite for obtaining tax-exempt status from the Internal Revenue Service. The latter has been achieved; and this accomplishment is due almost entirely to the efforts of the Secretary-Treasurer, Dr. E. G. Simmons, who prepared almost two pounds of written doc- --- .

Rogers, Department 0.f ~otan~,~~niversi€~of Illinois, is making the local arrangements for the /foray. ,- - .. , . , . Headquarters will be' maintained in!~oom408, Natural History Building, with a field trip departing from and returning to the campus each day. Library, laboratory, and drying facilities will be available. Individuals should provide their own collecting and pressing equipment. Field trips are scheduled for full days on Friday and Saturday and for a long half-day on Sunday, August 13, 14, and 15. Several collecting sites are being considered, but final selection will be deferred until a few days before the foray. Dr. Rogers re- quests that all qualified medicine men engage in raindances about one week prior to the foray, with transference of their pluvial intentions to the east-central Illinois area. Assembly'p6int, etc. The Fridaftrip will leave at 8:00 a.m. from the large parking area near .the Assembly Hall (not- from Natural History Bldg. ) . Check details Thursday night, if possible, ahddaily.thereafter.in the headquarters room. Chiggers are abundant in the Midwest during the summer; Dr. Rogers will have a supply of repellent, but bring your own if you have a proven favorite. Transportation on all three days will'be by private cars. If you will have a car at Urbana and can accommodate other passengers,- - . please- send tklis information to Dr. Rogers (see form below). Meals. Box lunches will be available for all three days. Check details on ar- rival or certainly well'in advance of. 8:00 a.m. Friday. Breakfast and dinner will be on an individual basis. Housing.

China 2 Graduate School of the Chinese Academy of Sciences Beijing 100039, P. R. China Abstract—Species of the genus Chlorophyllum (Agaricaceae) in China are described and illustrated with line drawings. Among them, C. sphaerosporum is new to science, and C. hortense is new to China. A key to the Chlorophyllum species in China is also provided. Key words—Agaricales, new taxon, new record, taxonomy, distribution Introduction The genus Chlorophyllum Massee (Agaricaceae, Agaricales, Basidiomycetes) in its amended sense is characterized by a hymenidermal pileus covering, a smooth stipe, and basidiospores without a germ pore or with a germ pore but just caused by a depression in the episporium. A hyaline covering on the germ pore is absent. The basidiospores may be white, green, brownish or brown in deposit, and the habit varies from agaricoid to secotioid (Vellinga 2001, 2002, 2003a, b; Vellinga & de Kok 2002; Vellinga et al. 2003). During our survey of the lepiotoid fungi in China, several species were identified, and one new species of the genus was encountered and thus described below. Differences between similar species are provided and discussed. Material and methods All material examined collected in China, and deposited in three Herbaria. Herbarium codes used follow Holmgren et al. (1990) with one exception: HKAS = Herbarium of Cryptogams, Kunming Institute of Botany, Chinese Academy of Sciences, which is not listed in the index or relevant publications.

  • Postharvest Biochemical Characteristics and Ultrastructure of Coprinus Comatus
    Postharvest biochemical characteristics and ultrastructure of Coprinus comatus Yi Peng1,2, Tongling Li2, Huaming Jiang3, Yunfu Gu1, Qiang Chen1, Cairong Yang2,4, Wei liang Qi2, Song-qing Liu2,4 and Xiaoping Zhang1 1 College of Resources, Sichuan Agricultural Uniersity, Chengdu, Sichuan, China 2 College of Chemistry and Life Sciences, Chengdu Normal University, Chengdu, Sichuan, China 3 Sichuan Vocational and Technical College, Suining, Sichuan, China 4 Institute of Microbiology, Chengdu Normal University, Chengdu, Sichuan, China ABSTRACT Background. Coprinus comatus is a novel cultivated edible fungus, hailed as a new preeminent breed of mushroom. However, C. comatus is difficult to keep fresh at room temperature after harvest due to high respiration, browning, self-dissolve and lack of physical protection. Methods. In order to extend the shelf life of C. comatus and reduce its loss in storage, changes in quality, biochemical content, cell wall metabolism and ultrastructure of C. comatus (C.c77) under 4 ◦C and 90% RH storage regimes were investigated in this study. Results. The results showed that: (1) After 10 days of storage, mushrooms appeared acutely browning, cap opening and flowing black juice, rendering the mushrooms commercially unacceptable. (2) The activity of SOD, CAT, POD gradually increased, peaked at the day 10, up to 31.62 U g−1 FW, 16.51 U g−1 FW, 0.33 U g−1 FW, respectively. High SOD, CAT, POD activity could be beneficial in protecting cells from ROS-induced injuries, alleviating lipid peroxidation and stabilizing membrane integrity. (3) The activities of chitinase, β-1,3-glucanase were significantly increased. Higher degrees of cell wall degradation observed during storage might be due to those enzymes' high activities.

  • Production of Paddy Straw Mushroom (Vovlariella Volvacea): Paddy Straw Mushroom Is an Edible Mushroom of the Tropics and Subtropics
    1 Production of paddy straw mushroom (Vovlariella volvacea): Paddy straw mushroom is an edible mushroom of the tropics and subtropics. It was first cultivated in China as early as in 1822. Around 1932-35, the straw mushroom was introduced into Philippines, Malaysia, and other South-East Asian countries by overseas Chinese. In India this mushroom was first cultivated in early 1940’s. In India, 19 edible species of Volvariella have been recorded but cultivation methods have been devised for three of them only viz; V. volvacea, V. esculenta (Mass) and V. diplasia. Volvariella volvacea is deep grey in colour and number of fruiting body is less per bed whereas V. diplasia is whitish or ashy in colour and, fruiting body is more with smaller size. Paddy straw mushroom (Volvariella spp.) also called ‘straw mushroom’ is a fungus of the tropics and subtropics and has been cultivated for many years in India. Paddy straw mushroom is also known as “warm mushroom” as it grows at relatively high temperature. It is a fast growing mushroom and under favorable growing conditions total crop cycle is completed within 4-5 weeks time. This mushroom can use wide range of cellulosic materials and the C: N ratio needed is 40 to 60, quite high in comparison to other cultivated mushrooms. It can be grown quite quickly and easily on uncomposted substrates such as paddy straw and cotton waste or other cellulosic organic waste materials. Several species of Volvariella have reportedly been grown for food, but only three species of the straw mushroom i.e. Volvariella volvacea, Volvariella esculanta and Volvariella diplasia are cultivated artificially.

Foster, [email protected] Abstract: Fungi are often inconspicuous in nature and this means it is all too easy to overlook their importance. Often referred to as the “Forgotten Kingdom”, fungi are key components of life on this planet. The phylum Basidiomycota, considered to contain the most complex and evolutionarily advanced members of this Kingdom, includes some of the most iconic fungal species such as the gilled mushrooms, puffballs and bracket fungi. Basidiomycetes inhabit a wide range of ecological niches, carrying out vital ecosystem roles, particularly in carbon cycling and as symbiotic partners with a range of other organisms. Specifically in the context of human use, the basidiomycetes are a highly valuable food source and are increasingly medicinally important. In this review, seven main categories, or ‘roles’, for basidiomycetes have been suggested by the authors: as model species, edible species, toxic species, medicinal basidiomycetes, symbionts, decomposers and pathogens, and two species have been chosen as representatives of each category.

  • Paddy Straw Mushroom (433)
    Pacific Pests, Pathogens and Weeds - Online edition Paddy straw mushroom (433) Common Name Paddy straw mushroom, straw mushroom, Chinese mushroom. Scientific Name Volvariella volvacea Distribution It is cultivated widely in East and Southeast Asia, and introduced in many other regions, including Africa, North America and Australia. It is recorded from Solomon Islands. Use & Appearance The paddy straw mushroom is grown on rice straw beds and picked immature, during the button or egg phase and before the veil ruptures (Photo 1). It is found in woodchips, rich garden Photo 1. Button stage of the paddy straw soil, compost piles and, in the Pacific, on decaying trunks of fallen sago palm and empty fruit mushroom, Volvariella volvacea, showing bunches of oil palm. They are often available fresh in Asia, but are more frequently found canned many still enclosed in the veil, and others or dried in countries where they are not cultivated. where the veil has broken. Methods of cultivation are here: http://www.fao.org/3/ca4450en/ca4450en.pdf. Young stages are formed under a greyish-brown veil (‘universal veil’), which surrounds the mushroom at the ‘button stage’ (Photo 2). It breaks to allow the stem and cap to expand leaving a dark brown cup-shaped structure (the ‘volva’) at the base (Photo 2). The cap is 5-12 cm diameter, first ovoid, then cone-like and finally broadly convex or bell- shaped, dark grey in the centre, becoming silvery-white or brownish-grey towards the margins, radially streaked with soft hairs (Photo 3). The cap tends to split at the edges.

  • Phylogeny and Character Evolution of the Coprinoid Mushroom Genus <I>Parasola</I> As Inferred from LSU and ITS Nrdna
    Persoonia 22, 2009: 28–37 www.persoonia.org RESEARCH ARTICLE doi:10.3767/003158509X422434 Phylogeny and character evolution of the coprinoid mushroom genus Parasola as inferred from LSU and ITS nrDNA sequence data L.G. Nagy1, S. Kocsubé1, T. Papp1, C. Vágvölgyi1 Key words Abstract Phylogenetic relationships, species concepts and morphological evolution of the coprinoid mushroom genus Parasola were studied. A combined dataset of nuclear ribosomal ITS and LSU sequences was used to infer Agaricales phylogenetic relationships of Parasola species and several outgroup taxa. Clades recovered in the phylogenetic Coprinus section Glabri analyses corresponded well to morphologically discernable species, although in the case of P. leiocephala, P. lila- deliquescence tincta and P. plicatilis amended concepts proved necessary. Parasola galericuliformis and P. hemerobia are shown gap coding to be synonymous with P. leiocephala and P. plicatilis, respectively. By mapping morphological characters on the morphological traits phylogeny, it is shown that the emergence of deliquescent Parasola taxa was accompanied by the development Psathyrella of pleurocystidia, brachybasidia and a plicate pileus. Spore shape and the position of the germ pore on the spores species concept showed definite evolutionary trends within the group: from ellipsoid the former becomes more voluminous and heart- shaped, the latter evolves from central to eccentric in taxa referred to as ‘crown’ Parasola species.
