Neste trabalho são apresentadas descrições, ilustrações, discussões e chave de identificação para as espécies do gênero Hypholoma (Fr.) P. Kumm. conhecidas no estado do Rio Grande do Sul, além de uma revisão do material de Hypholoma depositado na coleção Fungi Rickiani. A partir das coletas realizadas pelos autores, bem como estudo do material depositado nos principais herbários do estado e do país, verificou-se a ocorrência das seguintes espécies: H. aurantiacum (Cooke) Faus, H. ericaeum (Pers.: Fr.) Kühner e H. subviride (Berk. & M.A. Curtis) Dennis. Palavras-chave: Basidiomycota, Agaricomycetidae, Stropharioideae, Nematoloma, micobiota brasileira ABSTRACT – (Species of Hypholoma (Fr.) P. Kumm. (Strophariaceae, Agaricales) in Rio Grande do Sul State, Brazil). Detailed descriptions, illustrations, discussions and a key for identification of the known species of the genus Hypholoma (Fr.) P. Kumm. in Rio Grande do Sul state are presented, as well as a revision of the Hypholoma specimens deposited in the Fungi Rickiani collection. Based on the authors’ collections and the herbarium revision, the following species were recognized: H. aurantiacum (Cooke) Faus, H. ericaeum (Pers.: Fr.) Kühner, and H. subviride (Berk. & M.A. Curtis) Dennis. Key words: Basidiomycota, Agaricomycetidae, Stropharioideae, Nematoloma, Brazilian mycobiota Introduction to tropical areas, growing on decomposing wood, live trees, mosses or soil (Singer 1986). The genus Hypholoma (Fr.) P. Kumm. belongs The nomenclature of the genus has been discussed to the family Strophariaceae Singer & A.H. Sm. over the years by different authors (Baletto 1989; (Agaricales, Basidiomycota), subfamily Dennis et al. 1954; Farr & Farr 1981; Singer & Smith Stropharioideae (Singer) Singer, and is characterized 1946). Several Hypholoma species were placed in the by the presence of well-pigmented pileus, variably past in the genus Nematoloma P. Karst. (Singer 1986; developed veil, but never forming a membranous Smith 1951), which finally suffered nomenclatural annulus on the stipe, spore print violaceous to purplish, rejection (Korf 1986). Recently, species of the genus basidiospores with a thickened wall and a conspicuous were considered by Noordeloos (1995; 1999) as germ-pore, and presence of chrysocystidia (Pegler subgenera of Psilocybe s.l., based on Smith (1979) 1983; Singer 1986; Smith 1951; Watling & Gregory and Kühner (1980), but this proposal was not well 1987). The absence of acanthocytes in the rhizomorphs accepted among mycologists (Bon & Roux 2003; separates it from the closest genus Stropharia (Fr.) Norvell & Redhead 2000) and overall it was not Quél. (Farr 1980; Norvell & Redhead 2000). The supported by recent molecular studies (Moncalvo et presence of chrysocystidia is a distinguishing character al. 2002). According to Moncalvo et al. (2002), from Psilocybe (Fr.) P. Kumm., another related genus Hypholoma is recognized as an independent clade, in the family (Guzmán 1980; 1983; 1999). According composed of most of its species, except to Hawksworth et al. (1995), Hypholoma comprises H. subericaeum (Fr.) Kühner and H. aurantiacum about 30 species worldwide, distributed from temperate (Cooke) Faus [as S. aurantiaca (Cooke) M.

Species of Hypholoma are not edible; in fact, those belonging to the group of H. fasciculare (Huds.: Fr.) P. Kumm. are considered poisonous (Badalyan et al. 1995). This species has also been investigated for its antioxidant (Badalyan 2003) and hypoglycemic (Badalyan & Serrano 1999) activities. As active wood and litter decomposers, they also play an important role in forest ecosystems, being currently used in bioconversion of cellulose, fabric and dye industrial residues (Hofrichter & Fritsche 1997; Steffen et al. 2000), and also in biological control of phytopathogenic fungi (Badalyan et al. 2002; Chapman et al. 2004). In Brazil, few studies reported species of Hypholoma. Singer (1973) described Nematoloma amazonicum Singer and N. nudum Singer from Northern Brazil; Pegler (1997) reported H. subviride (Berk. & M.A. Curtis) Dennis and H. trinitensis Figure 1.

(1993) cited Psilocybe alnetorum (Singer) Singer, which is in fact H. alnetorum (Singer) Guzmán (Guzmán 1999), from the state of Paraná. (Holmgren & Holmgren 1998-2005), were also studied: In Rio Grande do Sul, several species were HASU, HCB, ICN, PACA, SMDB, and SP. All reported by Rick (1907; 1930; 1939; 1961), most, collected material is deposited in the herbarium ICN. however, are synonyms of species belonging to other The macroscopic analysis followed Largent (1977), agaric genera, especially Psilocybe (Strophariaceae) while the microscopic study of the basidiomata followed and Psathyrella (Fr.) Quél. [Psathyrellaceae (Singer) Largent et al. (1986). As mounting media 5% KOH Vilgalys, Moncalvo & Redhead]. Other important (potassium hydroxide) alone or with 1% Congo Red records were given by Singer (1953), who studied some were used. Line drawings were made with a camera of Rick’s collections, and more recently Cortez & lucida in a Leica DM LS2 optical microscope. For the Coelho (2004) and Sobestiansky (2005) reported the basidiospore descriptions, Q is the ratio of length to occurrence of H. subviride in the regions of Santa width, Qm is the medium value of Q, and n is the number Maria and Nova Petrópolis, respectively. of measured basidiospores.
