    Element Ranking Form Oregon Biodiversity Information Center Conservation Status Assessment Scientific Name: Fayodia bisphaerigera Classification: Fungus Assessment area: Global Heritage Rank: G3Q Rank Date: 3/9/2017 Assigned Rank Comments: None. Rank Adjustment Notes: Found over a wide range but rare within its range. In 2017 L. Norvell says "A good species; widespread in Asia, Europe (including Iceland), North America; critically threatened in Czech Republic (Holec & Beran 2006, Holec & al. 2015), France (Larent-Dargent 2009), and on Norway red list; 22 historical occurrences noted in Region 6. Antonín (2004) provides an excellent description of the European type material. NOTE: In 2002 Norvell noted taxonomic confusion between F. bisphaerigera and 'Mycena rainierensis' to be resolved when Redhead combined M. rainierensis in Fayodia. As no such transfer has been made, the status of the PNW taxon remains unresolved. The PNW reports of F. 'biphaerigera', would reflect the rarity accurately, and current ranking accepted until taxonomy is resolved." (Holec, Jan; Beran, Miroslav (eds.) 2006.

  • 1 the SOCIETY LIBRARY CATALOGUE the BMS Council
    THE SOCIETY LIBRARY CATALOGUE The BMS Council agreed, many years ago, to expand the Society's collection of books and develop it into a Library, in order to make it freely available to members. The books were originally housed at the (then) Commonwealth Mycological Institute and from 1990 - 2006 at the Herbarium, then in the Jodrell Laboratory,Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, by invitation of the Keeper. The Library now comprises over 1100 items. Development of the Library has depended largely on the generosity of members. Many offers of books and monographs, particularly important taxonomic works, and gifts of money to purchase items, are gratefully acknowledged. The rules for the loan of books are as follows: Books may be borrowed at the discretion of the Librarian and requests should be made, preferably by post or e-mail and stating whether a BMS member, to: The Librarian, British Mycological Society, Jodrell Laboratory Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond, Surrey TW9 3AB Email: <[email protected]> No more than two volumes may be borrowed at one time, for a period of up to one month, by which time books must be returned or the loan renewed. The borrower will be held liable for the cost of replacement of books that are lost or not returned. BMS Members do not have to pay postage for the outward journey. For the return journey, books must be returned securely packed and postage paid. Non-members may be able to borrow books at the discretion of the Librarian, but all postage costs must be paid by the borrower.

  • Do Fungal Fruitbodies and Edna Give Similar Biodiversity Assessments Across Broad Environmental Gradients?
    Supplementary material for Man against machine: Do fungal fruitbodies and eDNA give similar biodiversity assessments across broad environmental gradients? Tobias Guldberg Frøslev, Rasmus Kjøller, Hans Henrik Bruun, Rasmus Ejrnæs, Anders Johannes Hansen, Thomas Læssøe, Jacob Heilmann- Clausen 1 Supplementary methods. This study was part of the Biowide project, and many aspects are presented and discussed in more detail in Brunbjerg et al. (2017). Environmental variables. Soil samples (0-10 cm, 5 cm diameter) were collected within 4 subplots of the 130 sites and separated in organic (Oa) and mineral (A/B) soil horizons. Across all sites, a total of 664 soil samples were collected. Organic horizons were separated from the mineral horizons when both were present. Soil pH was measured on 10g soil in 30 ml deionized water, shaken vigorously for 20 seconds, and then settling for 30 minutes. Measurements were done with a Mettler Toledo Seven Compact pH meter. Soil pH of the 0-10 cm soil layer was calculated weighted for the proportion of organic matter to mineral soil (average of samples taken in 4 subplots). Organic matter content was measured as the percentage of the 0-10 cm core that was organic matter. 129 of the total samples were measured for carbon content (LECO elemental analyzer) and total phosphorus content (H2SO4-Se digestion and colorimetric analysis). NIR was used to analyze each sample for total carbon and phosphorus concentrations. Reflectance spectra was analyzed within a range of 10000-4000 cm-1 with a Antaris II NIR spectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific). A partial least square regression was used to test for a correlation between the NIR data and the subset reference analyses to calculate total carbon and phosphorous (see Brunbjerg et al.

Key words — Agaricomycetes, Agaricales, omphalinoid fungi, Contumyces, taxonomy Introduction Within the omphalinoid fungi — small agarics with a convex to deeply umbilicate pileus, central stipe, thin context, decurrent lamellae, white spore- print, and thin-walled inamyloid smooth spores (Norvell et al. 1994, Lutzoni 1997, Redhead et al. 2002a,b) — taxa with cystidiate basidiomata are thus far known only in the hymenochaetoid clade (Blasiphalia Redhead, Contumyces Redhead et al., Rickenella Raithelh.; Moncalvo et al. 2000, 2002, Redhead et al. 2002b, Larsson et al. 2006, Larsson 2007). During fieldwork focused on bryophilous Galerina species, we collected an omphalinoid fungus growing on mosses close to Galerina discreta E. Horak et al. We initially believed that these specimens represented a new species of Contumyces (Contu 1997, Redhead et al. 2002b) based on the presence of well-differentiated pileo-, caulo-, cheilo-, and pleurocystidia and an irregular hymenophoral trama.

Studies in Fungi 3(1), 1–6, Doi 10.5943/sif/3/1/1 Abstract Ample quantities of a crepidotoid agaric were collected from an evergreen forest in Kerala State, India and subsequent morphological and molecular analysis based on nLSU sequence confirmed it as Conchomyces bursiformis. A reappraisal along with comprehensive description, photographs, and discussion of this rare monotypic agaric is provided. Key words – Agaricus – Crepidotus – Kerala – nLSU – taxonomy Introduction During our ongoing study on the crepidotoid agarics of Kerala State, India an interesting crepidotoid species was collected in plenty from one of the evergreen forests. Initially we considered it as a species of the genus Crepidotus mainly due to its crepidotoid, lignicolous habit and colour. However, further microscopic and nLSU molecular analyses revealed that the species is Conchomyces bursiformis (Berk.) E. Horak, a rare monotypic agaric. Berkeley (1860) collected an agaric with a puzzling mix of characters from Tasmania and described it as Agaricus (Pleurotus) bursaeformis Berk. This was later described afresh by different workers under different genera such as Crepidotus, Pleurotus, Resupinatus, Hohenbuehelia (Pegler 1965, Reid 1963, Singer 1947, 1951, 1969, 1986) until Horak (1981) confirmed it as Conchomyces bursiformis (as C.
