Examination of herbarium specimens attributable 10 these species, allow us 10 discover among !he studied material, several rnisidentified species. These include, D. ceJvina, D. stuckertii and D. "","ucosa which respresent new records for the Baja Califomia mycobiota. These organisms were collected in arid and semi-arid habitats as well as disturbed soburban habitats. Some of the studied spedmens showed a larger and smooth, at Iight microscope, spore than previous recorded, butthe implica.tion of this variation is until now unknown.

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.

Twenty-eight species in the family Lycoperdaceae, commonly called ‘puffballs’, are reported from Arizona, USA. In addition to widely distributed species, understudied species (e.g., Calvatia cf. leiospora and Holocotylon brandegeeanum) are treated. Taxonomic descriptions and illustrations, which include microscopic characters, are given for each species, and a dichotomous key is presented to facilitate identification.

  • Fungi from the Owyhee Region
    FUNGI FROM THE OWYHEE REGION OF SOUTHERN IDAHO AND EASTERN OREGON bY Marcia C. Wicklow-Howard and Julie Kaltenecker Boise State University Boise, Idaho Prepared for: Eastside Ecosystem Management Project October 1994 THE OWYHEE REGION The Owyhee Region is south of the Snake River and covers Owyhee County, Idaho, Malheur County, Oregon, and a part of northern Nevada. It extends approximately from 115” to 118” West longitude and is bounded by parallels 41” to 44”. Owyhee County includes 7,662 square miles, Malheur County has 9,861 square miles, and the part of northern Nevada which is in the Owyhee River watershed is about 2,900 square miles. The elevations in the region range from about 660 m in the Snake River Plains and adjoining Owyhee Uplands to 2522 m at Hayden Peak in the Owyhee Mountains. Where the Snake River Plain area is mostly sediment-covered basalt, the area south of the Snake River known as the Owyhee Uplands, includes rolling hills, sharply dissected by basaltic plateaus. The Owyhee Mountains have a complex geology, with steep slopes of both basalt and granite. In the northern areas of the Owyhee Mountains, the steep hills, mountains, and escarpments consist of basalt. In other areas of the mountains the steep slopes are of granitic or rhyolitic origin. The mountains are surrounded by broad expanses of sagebrush covered plateaus. The soils of the Snake River Plains are generally non-calcareous and alkaline. Most are well-drained, with common soil textures of silt loam, loam and fine sand loam. In the Uplands and Mountains, the soils are often coarse textured on the surface, while the subsoils are loamy and non-calcareous.

Abstract: Observation of a population of Chlamydopus meyenianus over a fifteen-year period provides insights into the development of an infrequently collected woody stalked gasteromycete. Color photographs of Chlamydopus collections from an Oregon site along Interstate Highway 84 from 1993–2008 illustrate for the first time its complete development from late spring emergence (with all external tissues intact) to the more commonly encountered ‘bones’ of specimens dried in situ during the summer. Other desert puffballs are also briefly discussed. Key words: Basidiomycota, Phelloriniaceae, Tulostomatales, Agaricales, Artemisia tridentata, sagebrush, Washington. Introduction: In North America’s Pacific moisture regimes and generally fruit rapidly Northwest, woody desert puffballs inhabit after early and late summer rainstorms. The the high-plains desert and arid regions, basidiospores, which are protected from heat characteristically in the interior away from the and low humidity by one to several peridial temperate rainforests and humid areas along the layers, generally develop underground.

  • Some Gasteromycetes from Eastern Africa
    J. E. Afr. nat. Hist. Soc. Vol. XXVI No.2 (114) PageS SOME GASTEROMYCETES FROM EASTERN AFRICA By D. M. DRING and R. W. RAYNER INTRODUCTION During recent months a number of collectors have sent gatherings of gasteromycete fungi from E. Africa to the Kew Herbarium. This paper has been written to record the results of their collecting as well as to give them, and other workers in the area, an admittedly incomplete but, it is hoped, useful guide to the puffballs and their aIlies in the East African region. Recently collected material has been supplemented by studies of the older collections in Kew (K) and elsewhere, particularly the E. African Herbarium (EA). Though this study is centred on E. Africa in a restricted sense we have also included some material from Malawi, Zambia, Rhodesia and Mozambique where considered appropriate. In a like manner Somalia has also been included. Perhaps, however, it is more important to note that we have also included the rather few gasteromycetes which we have examined from the Mascarene Islands. Though their nearest mainland is the east coast of Africa, these islands are known to have strong floristic affinities with Asia and Australasia rather than with Africa. So that, unless there is evidence to the contrary it should not be assumed that species recorded from these islands will occur on the African mainland. The colour names used, excepting those describing microscopic characters, are based on Dade, Colour Terminology in Biology ed. II, Mycol. Pap. 6, 1949. COLLECTING Gasteromycetes are easy to collect and preserve. All except Oathraceae and Phallaceae should simply be dried quickly and placed in boxes or packets with the usual data on place of collection, date, etc.

    REPORT ON FUNGI Prepared by Michael A. Castellano USDA Forest Service 1995 INTERIOR COLUMBIA BASIN ECOSYSTEM MANAGEMENT PROJECT Fungal Report page 1 Report on Fungi Eastside Ecosystem Management Project Columbia River Basin Assessment Submitted by Dr. Michael A. Castellano, Research Forester, USDA, Forest Service, Pacific’Northwest Research Station, 3200 Jefferson Way, Corvallis, Oregon 97331; FAX 503-750-7329; Voice 503-750-7382 I. Introduction and Background (to be combined with other groups) Macrofungi found within the boundaries of the.CRB include three major subdivisions; Basidiomycotina, Ascomycotina and Zygomycotina. The subdivision Basidiomycotina include about 15,000 species. Fungi such as mushrooms, puffballs and polypores (conks) are some of the more commonly known and encountered forms. Other forms include the jelly fungi, birds nest fungi and tooth fungi. The majority of Basidiomycotina are either saprophytes on decaying wood and other dead plant material or are mutualistic symbionts with the roots of plants and trees, forming a special beneficial association called mycorrhiza. Others are parasites on living plants or even on other fungi. The Ascomycotina is the largest subdivision of fungi having over 2,000 genera with approximately 100,000 species. Fungi such as powdery mildews, cup fungi and true truffles are the more commonly known and encountered forms. While most Ascomycotina are terrestrial there are also many aquatic species. Most Ascomycotina are saprophytic on decaying plant debris with many specializing in decaying particular host species or even a specific portion of a host plant. Other specialized saprophytic species form sporocarps in or on animal dung (coprophilus) or where fire has occurred (phoenicoid).
