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. After a comparative study of collections of these populations with specimens from U.S.A.

  • And There Were Mushrooms…
    VOLUME 53: 4 November-December 2013 www.namyco.org Ozarks Were Really Fun! And There Were Mushrooms… By NAMA President, David Rust From the plane coming into Little Rock, we could see a lot of green: to the north where the Ozarks begin, trees and waterways dominated the landscape. We could see right off that Shepherd of the Ozarks would serve as a beautiful base camp for a foray. Big Creek, which runs through the property, has cut through the layers of lime- stone over time, creating a beautiful backdrop. Trees were turning color, and frost touched the meadow. On the first evening, Theo Witsell, botanist from the Arkansas Heritage Program, presented a look at local ge- ology, habitats and the diverse botany of Arkansas, focusing first on the larger picture of plateaus, river bottoms, prairies and woodlands, and finishing with a breathtaking display of rare plants. Friday morning we ventured out into places like Gunner Pool, Barkshed Creek, Blanchard Caverns, Leatherwood Wilderness Area, Buffalo River, Ozark National Forest, Woolly Hollow, and Moccasin Springs. And there were mushrooms. Before this year’s foray, Searcy County had only five records of fungi. The initial tally for this foray is 280 species and counting, with an expected boost from participants in the PolyPeet Project, who scoured the woods for poly- pores and inspected incoming foray collections. Alfredo Justo led a team from Clark University’s Hibbett Lab. The goal of the PolyPeet Project is to study the taxonomy and evolution of Polyporales, and produce comprehen- sive modern monographs in selected genera. We found mushrooms like Russula flavida, Lactarius in- digo, Amanita daucipes, and Amanita polypyramis, Daeda- leopsis confragosa, Craterellus ignicolor, Cortinarius scau- rotraganoides, Polyporus radicatus, and a beautiful purple collection of Pseudobaeospora.

  • MUSHROOMS of the OTTAWA NATIONAL FOREST Compiled By
    MUSHROOMS OF THE OTTAWA NATIONAL FOREST Compiled by Dana L. Richter, School of Forest Resources and Environmental Science, Michigan Technological University, Houghton, MI for Ottawa National Forest, Ironwood, MI March, 2011 Introduction There are many thousands of fungi in the Ottawa National Forest filling every possible niche imaginable. A remarkable feature of the fungi is that they are ubiquitous! The mushroom is the large spore-producing structure made by certain fungi. Only a relatively small number of all the fungi in the Ottawa forest ecosystem make mushrooms. Some are distinctive and easily identifiable, while others are cryptic and require microscopic and chemical analyses to accurately name. This is a list of some of the most common and obvious mushrooms that can be found in the Ottawa National Forest, including a few that are uncommon or relatively rare. The mushrooms considered here are within the phyla Ascomycetes – the morel and cup fungi, and Basidiomycetes – the toadstool and shelf-like fungi. There are perhaps 2000 to 3000 mushrooms in the Ottawa, and this is simply a guess, since many species have yet to be discovered or named. This number is based on lists of fungi compiled in areas such as the Huron Mountains of northern Michigan (Richter 2008) and in the state of Wisconsin (Parker 2006). The list contains 227 species from several authoritative sources and from the author’s experience teaching, studying and collecting mushrooms in the northern Great Lakes States for the past thirty years. Although comments on edibility of certain species are given, the author neither endorses nor encourages the eating of wild mushrooms except with extreme caution and with the awareness that some mushrooms may cause life-threatening illness or even death.

Tenellula sect. Rhodellinae) from the Changbai Mountains, northeast China, is described as a new species. It is characterized by the red tinged pileus, slightly yellowing context, small basidia, short pleurocystidia, septate dermatocystidia with crystal contents, and a coniferous habitat. The phylogenetic trees based on ITS1-5.8S- ITS2 rDNA sequences fully support the establishment of the new species. Key words —Russulales, Russulaceae, taxonomy, morphology, Basidiomycota Introduction The worldwide genus ofRussula Pers. (Russulaceae, Russulales) is characterized by colorful fragile pileus, amyloid warty spores, abundant sphaerocysts in a heteromerous trama, and absence of latex (Romagnesi 1967, 1985; Singer 1986; Sarnari 1998, 2005). As a group of ectomycorrhizal fungi, it includes a large number of edible and medicinal species (Li et al. 2010). The genus has been extensively investigated with a long, rich and intensive taxonomic history in Europe (Miller & Buyck 2002). Although Russula species have been consumed in China as edible and medicinal use for a long time, their taxonomy has been overlooked (Li & Wen 2009, Li 2013).

Chinan Department of Plant Biology, Faculty of Biology, „Alexandru Ioan Cuza” University, Iaşi, Romania, EU. e-mail: [email protected] Abstract. „Tinovul de la Româneşti” is a forested peat bog, with an area of 20 ha, located in Dornelor Depression (Eastern Carpathians) within the limits of Coşna commune, Suceava County, Romania. The mycological observations carried out in the vegetal associations Sphagno-Piceetum and Vaccinio–Pinetum sylvestris, in this peat bog, have emphasized the occurrence of 50 macrofungi species. For each vegetal association, the macrofungi diversity was analyzed, and the obtained results emphasized the presence of a high number of ectomycorrhizal and lignicolous saprophytic species. The characteristic macrofungi for forested peat bogs, identified in „Tinovul de la Româneşti”, are represented by the ectomycorrhizal species (associated with spruce, pine and birch) and bryophilous species (associated with peat moss). Key Words: macrofungi, diversity, vegetal association, peat bog.

Observaţiile micologice realizate în asociaţiile vegetale Sphagno-Piceetum şi Vaccinio–Pinetum sylvestris, din această mlaştină, au evidenţiat prezenţa a 50 specii de macromicete. Pentru fiecare asociaţie vegetală în parte s-a analizat diversitatea macromicetelor, iar rezultatele obţinute au evidenţiat o prezenţa majoritară a speciilor ectomicorizante şi a celor saprofite lignicole. Macromicetele caracteristice mlaştinilor de turbă împădurite, identificate în „Tinovul de la Româneşti”, sunt reprezentate de specii ectomicorizante (asociate molidului, pinului şi mesteacănului) şi briofile (asociate muşchiului de turbă).

Matson, University of California, Berkeley, CA, February 24, 1997 (received for review September 10, 1996) ABSTRACT We have investigated the mycorrhizal asso- Mycorrhizae are intimate symbioses between fungi and the ciations of two nonphotosynthetic orchids from distant tribes underground organs of plants; the mutualism is based on the within the Orchidaceae. The two orchids were found to provisioning of minerals, and perhaps water, to the plant by the associate exclusively with two distinct clades of ectomycorrhi- fungus in return for fixed carbon from the plant (11). Ecto- zal basidiomycetous fungi over wide geographic ranges. Yet mycorrhizae (ECM) are the dominant mycorrhizal type both orchids retained the internal mycorrhizal structure formed by forest trees in temperate regions (12), and they are typical of photosynthetic orchids that do not associate with critical to nutrient cycling and to structuring of plant commu- ectomycorrhizal fungi.
