Korus, Extension Educator, Plant Pathology Anthony A. Muhle, Agronomy and Horticulture Student Kim A. Todd, Extension Horticulture Specialist This NebGuide discusses the biology, identification, and Occurrence and Distribution management of stinkhorn fungi. These fungi are saprophytic, which means they derive Diagnosis and Identification their nutrients from dead organic matter and are not con- sidered plant pathogens. They are typically found in wood Stinkhorn fungi can be quite striking in the landscape chip mulch in landscape beds and around shrubs and trees; but are often viewed as a nuisance because of the foul odor in areas of the lawn high in organic matter; in locations they emit. These fungi are in the scientific classification containing old stumps or decaying wood; and on dead, division Bacidiomycetes so they produce a mushroom stalk rotting roots. Stinkhorn fungi in Nebraska can be found in and cap. Many species of fungi belonging to the family late spring or early fall. In locations with warmer climates, Phallaceae are considered stinkhorns, and they can be found stinkhorns can be found in the winter months as well. across North America. These species exist in many sizes and colors and can have white, tan, brown, orange, yellow, and Classification red stalks. The stinkhorn species found in Nebraska belong to two genera, both in the family Phallaceae. Phallus spp. Kingdom: Fungi typically have orange to red stalks and a reddish- orange Division: Basidiomycota cap with dark brown gleba, which is spore- forming tissue Class: Agaricomycetes (Figure 1). Mutinus spp. often have white stalks with an olive Order: Phallales green or brown sticky cap (not pictured). Family: Phallaceae Genus: Phallus sp. Genus: Mutinus sp. Common names: dog stinkhorn, devil’s stinkhorn, common stinkhorn Biology Stinkhorn fungi spend most of their lives in a vege- tative state as mycelia (small, thread- like filaments) just beneath the soil surface or in the mulch directly on top of soil. The white to reddish- orange mushroom stalk sup- ports the cap, which is the reproductive structure of the fungus. When the fungus is ready to produce a stalk and cap, a small egg- like structure forms below the mulch or soil surface from a specialized mycelial strand called a Figure 1.

  • Phylogeny and Classification of the Melastomataceae and Memecylaceae
    Nord. J. Bot. - Section of tropical taxonomy Phylogeny and classification of the Melastomataceae and Memecy laceae Susanne S. Renner Renner, S. S. 1993. Phylogeny and classification of the Melastomataceae and Memecy- laceae. - Nord. J. Bot. 13: 519-540. Copenhagen. ISSN 0107-055X. A systematic analysis of the Melastomataceae, a pantropical family of about 4200- 4500 species in c. 166 genera, and their traditional allies, the Memecylaceae, with c. 430 species in six genera, suggests a phylogeny in which there are two major lineages in the Melastomataceae and a clearly distinct Memecylaceae. Melastomataceae have close affinities with Crypteroniaceae and Lythraceae, while Memecylaceae seem closer to Myrtaceae, all of which were considered as possible outgroups, but sister group relationships in this plexus could not be resolved. Based on an analysis of all morph- ological and anatomical characters useful for higher level grouping in the Melastoma- taceae and Memecylaceae a cladistic analysis of the evolutionary relationships of the tribes of the Melastomataceae was performed, employing part of the ingroup as outgroup. Using 7 of the 21 characters scored for all genera, the maximum parsimony program PAUP in an exhaustive search found four 8-step trees with a consistency index of 0.86. Because of the limited number of characters used and the uncertain monophyly of some of the tribes, however, all presented phylogenetic hypotheses are weak. A synapomorphy of the Memecylaceae is the presence of a dorsal terpenoid-producing connective gland, a synapomorphy of the Melastomataceae is the perfectly acrodro- mous leaf venation. Within the Melastomataceae, a basal monophyletic group consists of the Kibessioideae (Prernandra) characterized by fiber tracheids, radially and axially included phloem, and median-parietal placentation (placentas along the mid-veins of the locule walls).

In addition to being fine mycological books in their own right, they have a great provenance, coming from the libraries of several members of the Fries family – the leading botanist and mycologist family in Sweden. All of the books are from the library of Nils Fries (1912–94), many from that of his grandfather Theodor (Thore) M. Fries (1832–1913), and a few from the library of Nils’ great grandfather Elias M. Fries (1794–1878), “fa- ther of Swedish mycology”. All three were botanists and professors at Uppsala University, as were many other members of the family, often with an orientation towards mycology. Nils Fries field of study was the procreation of mushrooms. Furthermore, Nils Fries has had a partiality for interesting provenances in his purchases – and many international mycologists are found among the former owners of the books in the catalogue. Four of the books are inscribed to Elias M. Fries, and it is probable that more of them come from his collection. Thore M.

ABSTRACT — Sampling and analysis of gasteroid agaricomycete species ( Phallomycetidae and Agaricomycetidae ) associated with relicts of native Espinal forests in the southeast region of Córdoba, Argentina, have identified twenty-nine species in fourteen genera: Bovista (4), Calvatia (2), Cyathus (1), Disciseda (4), Geastrum (7), Itajahya (1), Lycoperdon (2), Lysurus (2), Morganella (1), Mycenastrum (1), Myriostoma (1), Sphaerobolus (1), Tulostoma (1), and Vascellum (1). The gasteroid species from the sampled Espinal forests showed an overall similarity with those recorded from neighboring phytogeographic regions; however, a new species of Lysurus was found and is briefly described, and Bovista coprophila is a new record for Argentina. KEY WORDS — Agaricomycetidae , fungal distribution, native woodlands, Phallomycetidae . Introduction The Espinal Phytogeographic Province is a transitional ecosystem between the Pampeana, the Chaqueña, and the Monte Phytogeographic Provinces in Argentina (Cabrera 1971).

It grows on living bark of Juniperus phoenicea on the Italian island of Sardinia. Because it is morphologically distinct from any known genus of corticioid fungi, the new genus Arrasia is proposed to accommodate it. Key words — dendrotheloid fungi, Italy Introduction Many new species of polypores and corticioids have recently been described from Sardinia: Aleurodiscus ilexicola Bernicchia & Ryvarden, Antrodiella ichnusana Bernicchia et al., Antrodia sandaliae Bernicchia & Ryvarden, Echinodontium ryvardenii Bernicchia & Piga, Neolentiporus squamosellus (Bernicchia & Ryvarden) Bernicchia & Ryvarden, Phellinus juniperinus Bernicchia & S. Curreli, and Vararia maremmana Bernicchia. Sardinia may be a refugium from the last glacial period, as demonstrated by the presence of Piloporia sajanensis (Parmasto) Niemelä, previously known as a boreal species, or the occurrence of Echinodontium ryvardenii, while other species of Echinodontium Ellis & Everh. are known from North America and Asia.
