This distinction is very much appreciated. We are looking forward to an interesting and eventful .year in 1971 with the Annual Meeting of the Society in Edmonton, June 20-24, and The First International Mycological Congress in Exeter, England, September 7-16. The Members of the Editorial Board of Mycologia have selected a replacement for Dr. R.W. Lichtwardt whose five-year term as Editor-in-Chief ends in December. The appointment now awaits the approval of the Members of the Council who are being canvassed by mail. I would like to congratulate Dr. Lichtwardt for a very successful term of office and on behalf of all of the Members of the Society to thank him for his devotion in maintaining the quality and promptness of the many issues of Mycologia. As my term of office draws to a close I wish to express my thanks to all the Members of the Council and the various Committees for their cooperation. The operation of the Society appears to have been generally efficient even though there was no Annual Meeting last year. Credit for this goes to the careful work of Dr. Shaffer, our Secretary-Treasurer who has given so generously of his time and efforts. I hope to see you in Bloomington! Sincerelv. ~dF. Cain B. AFFILIATED SOCIETIES The Society's affiliated societies are all actively engaged in bringing mycology to the attention of both professional and so-called amateur mycologists. All produce news bulletins and other similar publications and sponsor regular programs, especially collecting trips (in season). Members of the MSA would be well advised to seek membership in one of our affiliated societies if there is any chance of participation since more active or keener groups of observers would be difficult to find. Those of us who have had the opportunity to collect with some of these "amateurs1'will realize how little the "professional" mycologist may know about mushrooms in the field (or, for that matter, from a culinary viewpoint!). These societies are: Boston Mycological Club, Frank C.

  • 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.

  • Colonisation of Pinus Radiata Thinning Stumps by Armillaria and Other Basidiomycetes Following Treatment with Armillaria Basidiospores
    COLONISATION OF PINUS RADIATA THINNING STUMPS BY ARMILLARIA AND OTHER BASIDIOMYCETES FOLLOWING TREATMENT WITH ARMILLARIA BASIDIOSPORES *I.A. Hood and *J.F. Gardner *New Zealand Forest Research Institute, Rotorua, New Zealand Abstract Stumps of thinned trees and partly buried stem segments were treated with basidiospores of two Armillaria species, to test the possibility that colonisation of woody material by basidiospores serves to spread Armillaria species into Pinus radiata plantations in New Zealand. Spore colonisation was confirmed for segments and demonstrated for the first time on freshly cut pine stumps. Effective invasion occurred at high spore concentrations and was apparent from 6 months after felling. Other basidiomycetes were first isolated from stumps at 6 months and were consistently cultured between 1 and 3 years following felling, after which yields became irregular due to stump deterioration and increasing contamination. Certain basidiomycetes were isolated regularly whereas many others were cultured only infrequently. A culture bank was established of basidiomycetes to be tested as candidates for potential biological control of A. novae-zelandiae in pine stumps. Introduction It is important to know whether Armillaria novae-zelandiae (Stevenson) Herink is spreading into stands of Pinus radiata D. Don by means of basidiospores dispersed from fruitbodies in nearby indigenous forests in New Zealand. The formation of new, spore-derived colonies is inferred from the high densities of A. novae- zelandiae genets in second rotation plantations on sites not originally stocked in native forest. However, direct supporting evidence consists so far only of the demonstrated colonisation of freshly cut partly buried pine billets employed as spore traps (Hood et al ., 2002).

  • Basidiomycota: Agaricales) Introducing the Ant-Associated Genus Myrmecopterula Gen
    Leal-Dutra et al. IMA Fungus (2020) 11:2 https://doi.org/10.1186/s43008-019-0022-6 IMA Fungus RESEARCH Open Access Reclassification of Pterulaceae Corner (Basidiomycota: Agaricales) introducing the ant-associated genus Myrmecopterula gen. nov., Phaeopterula Henn. and the corticioid Radulomycetaceae fam. nov. Caio A. Leal-Dutra1,5, Gareth W. Griffith1* , Maria Alice Neves2, David J. McLaughlin3, Esther G. McLaughlin3, Lina A. Clasen1 and Bryn T. M. Dentinger4 Abstract Pterulaceae was formally proposed to group six coralloid and dimitic genera: Actiniceps (=Dimorphocystis), Allantula, Deflexula, Parapterulicium, Pterula, and Pterulicium. Recent molecular studies have shown that some of the characters currently used in Pterulaceae do not distinguish the genera. Actiniceps and Parapterulicium have been removed, and a few other resupinate genera were added to the family. However, none of these studies intended to investigate the relationship between Pterulaceae genera. In this study, we generated 278 sequences from both newly collected and fungarium samples. Phylogenetic analyses supported with morphological data allowed a reclassification of Pterulaceae where we propose the introduction of Myrmecopterula gen. nov. and Radulomycetaceae fam. nov., the reintroduction of Phaeopterula, the synonymisation of Deflexula in Pterulicium, and 53 new combinations. Pterula is rendered polyphyletic requiring a reclassification; thus, it is split into Pterula, Myrmecopterula gen. nov., Pterulicium and Phaeopterula. Deflexula is recovered as paraphyletic alongside several Pterula species and Pterulicium, and is sunk into the latter genus. Phaeopterula is reintroduced to accommodate species with darker basidiomes. The neotropical Myrmecopterula gen. nov. forms a distinct clade adjacent to Pterula, and most members of this clade are associated with active or inactive attine ant nests.

  • Phylogenetic Classification of Trametes
    TAXON 60 (6) • December 2011: 1567–1583 Justo & Hibbett • Phylogenetic classification of Trametes SYSTEMATICS AND PHYLOGENY Phylogenetic classification of Trametes (Basidiomycota, Polyporales) based on a five-marker dataset Alfredo Justo & David S. Hibbett Clark University, Biology Department, 950 Main St., Worcester, Massachusetts 01610, U.S.A. Author for correspondence: Alfredo Justo, [email protected] Abstract: The phylogeny of Trametes and related genera was studied using molecular data from ribosomal markers (nLSU, ITS) and protein-coding genes (RPB1, RPB2, TEF1-alpha) and consequences for the taxonomy and nomenclature of this group were considered. Separate datasets with rDNA data only, single datasets for each of the protein-coding genes, and a combined five-marker dataset were analyzed. Molecular analyses recover a strongly supported trametoid clade that includes most of Trametes species (including the type T. suaveolens, the T. versicolor group, and mainly tropical species such as T. maxima and T. cubensis) together with species of Lenzites and Pycnoporus and Coriolopsis polyzona. Our data confirm the positions of Trametes cervina (= Trametopsis cervina) in the phlebioid clade and of Trametes trogii (= Coriolopsis trogii) outside the trametoid clade, closely related to Coriolopsis gallica. The genus Coriolopsis, as currently defined, is polyphyletic, with the type species as part of the trametoid clade and at least two additional lineages occurring in the core polyporoid clade. In view of these results the use of a single generic name (Trametes) for the trametoid clade is considered to be the best taxonomic and nomenclatural option as the morphological concept of Trametes would remain almost unchanged, few new nomenclatural combinations would be necessary, and the classification of additional species (i.e., not yet described and/or sampled for mo- lecular data) in Trametes based on morphological characters alone will still be possible.

Campus Rabanales, University of Córdoba. 14071 Córdoba, Spain. *Corresponding author: Email: [email protected] Phone: +55 83 996110326 ABSTRACT Fourteen species in three genera of Clavariaceae from the Atlantic Forest of Brazil are described (six Clavaria, seven Cla- vulinopsis and one Ramariopsis). Clavaria diverticulata, Clavulinopsis dimorphica and Clavulinopsis imperata are new species, and Clavaria gibbsiae, Clavaria fumosa and Clavulinopsis helvola are reported for the first time for the country. Illustrations of the basidiomata and the microstructures are provided for all taxa, as well as SEM images of ornamented basidiospores which occur in Clavulinopsis helvola and Ramariopsis kunzei. A key to the Clavariaceae of Brazil is also included. Key words: clavarioid; morphology; taxonomy Introduction Clavariaceae Chevall. (Agaricales) comprises species with various types of basidiomata, including clavate, coralloid, resupinate, pendant-hydnoid and hygrophoroid forms (Hibbett & Thorn 2001, Birkebak et al. 2013). The family was first proposed to accommodate mostly saprophytic club and coral-like fungi that were previously placed in Clavaria Vaill. ex. L., including species that are now in other genera and families, such as Clavulina J.Schröt.

Resupinatehomobasidiomycetes have beeninterpreted either asa paraphyletic grade ofplesiomorphic formsor apolyphyletic assemblage ofreducedforms. The former view suggeststhat morphological evolutionin homobasidiomyceteshas beenmarked byindependentelab- oration in many clades,whereas the latter view suggeststhat parallel simplication has beena common modeof evolution.To infer patternsof morphological evolution in homobasidiomycetes,we constructed phylogenetic treesfrom adatasetof 481 speciesand performed ancestral statereconstruction (ASR) using parsimony andmaximum likelihood (ML)methods. ASR with both parsimony andML implies that the ancestorof the homobasidiomycetes was resupinate, and that therehave beenmultiple gains andlosses ofcomplex formsin thehomobasidiomycetes. We also usedML toaddresswhether there is anasymmetry in therate oftransformations betweensimple andcomplex forms.Models of morphological evolution inferredwith MLindicate that therate

On the basis of an ITS phylogeny, the authors question the monophyletic nature of family Elaphomycetaceae and of the genus Elaphomyces. The objective of this preliminary paper was not to propose a new phylogeny for Elaphomyces, but rather to draw attention to the very high dissimilarity among ITS sequences for Elaphomyces and to the unfortunate choice of species to represent the genus in most previous phylogenetic publications on Elaphomycetaceae and other cleistothecial ascomycetes. Our study highlights the need for examining the monophyly of this family and to verify the systematic status of Pseudotulostoma as a separate genus for stipitate species. Furthermore, there is an urgent need for an in-depth morphological study, combined with molecular sequencing of the studied taxa, to point out the phylogenetically informative characters of the discussed taxa.
