Wood Chip Fungi: Agrocybe Putaminum in the San Francisco Bay Area
Wood Chip Fungi: Agrocybe putaminum in the San Francisco Bay Area Else C. Vellinga Department of Plant and Microbial Biology, 111 Koshland Hall, Berkeley CA 94720-3102 [email protected] Abstract Agrocybe putaminum was found growing on wood chips in central coastal California; this appears to be the first record for North America. A short description of the species is given. Its habitat plus the characteristics of wood chip denizens are discussed. Wood chips are the fast food of the fungal world. The desir- able wood is exposed, there is a lot of it, and often the supply is replenished regularly. It is an especially good habitat for mush- room species that like it hot because a thick layer of wood chips is warmed relative to the surrounding environment by the activity of bacteria and microscopic fungi (Brown, 2003; Van den Berg and Vellinga, 1998). Thirty years ago wood chips were a rarity, but nowadays they are widely used in landscaping and gardening. A good layer of chips prevents weeds from germinating and taking over, which means less maintenance and lower costs. Chips also diminish evaporation and keep moisture in the soil. Trees and shrubs are often shredded and dumped locally, but there is also long-dis- tance transport of these little tidbits. Barges full of wood mulch cruise the Mississippi River, and trucks carry the mulch from city to city. This fast food sustains a steady stream of wood chip fungi that, as soon as they are established, fruit in large flushes and are suddenly everywhere. The fungi behave a bit like morels after a Figure 1.

In April, Fungimap Committee member Lyn Allison, with the assistance of Susanna Duffy, updated our entire website which had been ailing since 2016. I hope you are enjoying the new look and finding the new content in the form of posts a good way to stay in touch with us. We are also highlighting this new content by linking to it in our monthly eNews. Members are automatically joined up to the eNews, but we are happy to have anyone else join too. The other big change is that we have a new President. Roz Hart has taken over from Tom May who has been in that position since 2005. In this Newsletter, Roz introduces herself and her hopes for Fungimap. I am sure we will all miss Tom in the role, but we are delighted he will still be involved as part of the ID team and be able to focus on working with Pam Catcheside and Sarah Lloyd in finishing the long-awaited second edition of Fungi Down Under.

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.

Mycological Notes 16: Growth and Variability of Leratiomyces Erythrocephalus, the Scarlet Pouch Fungus
Mycological Notes 16: Growth and variability of Leratiomyces erythrocephalus, the Scarlet Pouch Fungus Jerry Cooper – September 2012 The familiar scarlet pouch fungus can be quite variable in appearance and that has caught out more than one mycologist, including me. Here I describe that variability, and I also predict this fungus will eventually spread around the world on wood chips. Leratiomyces erythrocephalus is one of our most iconic fungi. It was originally named Secotium erythrocephalum from material collected by Étienne Fiacre Louis Raoul near Akaroa. Raoul was surgeon on the expedition ship L'Aube. In 3 years in New Zealand from 1837 to 1840 he collected many plant specimens, mostly from the Akaroa area (during the episode of the French claim for New Zealand). Our fungus was first described in an article authored by Raoul 1844 (Annales des sciences naturelles) where the introduction of the name was attributed to Louis Tulasne. In the same article Tulasne describes the equally iconic Illeodictyon cibarium, also from Akaroa. Raoul/Tulasne describe Secotium erythrocephalum as scarlet capped, with a white stem and 2-spored. Both species were again covered in Raoul's 'Choix De Plantes De La Nouvelle-Zelande' in 1846. Raoul's original description of the fungus is the classical concept of a stalked, secotioid scarlet-capped fungus. Louis Tulasne, along with his brother Charles, described the genus in more detail in 1845 (Annales des sciences naturelles) and in this article he first depicts the nearly gastroid form of the primordial fruitbody. Tulasnes' depiction of the primordial Secotium erythrocephalum. In 1891 Lloyd described what we now consider to be the same taxon, sent to him by H.W Laing from Lyttleton under the name Secotium lutescens, which as the name suggests was described as pale yellow, and without the stipe extending.
