Revision of the Genus Cotylidia (Basidiomycota, Hymenochaetales) in the Czech Republic
CZECH MYCOLOGY 65(1): 1–13, JUNE 10, 2013 (ONLINE VERSION, ISSN 1805-1421) Revision of the genus Cotylidia (Basidiomycota, Hymenochaetales) in the Czech Republic 1 2 JIŘÍ KOUT *, LUCIE ZÍBAROVÁ 1Department of Biology, Geosciences and Environmental Education, Faculty of Education, University of West Bohemia, Klatovská 51, Plzeň, CZ-306 19, Czech Republic; [email protected] 2Department of Botany, Faculty of Natural Sciences, University of South Bohemia, Na Zlaté stoce 1, České Budějovice, CZ-370 05, Czech Republic; [email protected] *corresponding author Kout J., Zíbarová L. (2013): Revision of the genus Cotylidia (Basidiomycota, Hymenochaetales) in the Czech Republic. – Czech Mycol. 65(1): 1–13. To date, three species of the genus Cotylidia have been identified in the Czech Republic: C. muscigena, C. pannosa, and C. undulata. The occurrence of Cotylidia undulata in the Czech Re- public was already confirmed and a new locality is published here. The other two species are newly re- ported from the Czech Republic. The remaining two European Cotylidia species are not yet known from the area studied: C. carpatica and the badly known Mediterranean C. marsicana. Finally one specimen found during the study of herbarium material does not correspond well to any known Euro- pean species. The genus was reviewed based on fresh and herbarium specimens. The species of Cotylidia are described and an identification key is added. All three species are rarely reported fungi. Key words: hymenochaetoid clade, taxonomy, distribution, threatened fungi, Europe. Kout J., Zíbarová L.

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. -

First Record of the Corticioid Fungus Dendrothele Arachispora (Agaricomycetes) in Japan*
Rep. Tottori Mycol. Inst. 48 : 1-4, 2018. First record of the corticioid fungus Dendrothele arachispora (Agaricomycetes) in Japan* ** Shuji USHIJIMA and Nitaro MAEKAWA Abstract Dendrothele arachispora(Corticiales, Basidiomycota)) was originally described in New Zealand, but we are reporting it for the first time in Japan. This species is characterized by a resupinate yellowish pale basidioma, peanut-shaped basidiospores, and the presence of dendrohyphidia.

MushRumors The Newsletter of the Northwest Mushroomers Association Volume 25, Issue 4 December 2014 After Arid Start, 2014 Mushroom Season Flourishes It All Came Together By Chuck Nafziger It all came together for the 2014 Wild Mushroom Show; an October with the perfect amount of rain for abundant mushrooms, an enthusiastic volunteer base, a Photo by Vince Biciunas great show publicity team, a warm sunny show day, and an increased public interest in foraging. Nadine Lihach, who took care of the admissions, reports that we blew away last year's record attendance by about 140 people. Add to that all the volunteers who put the show together, and we had well over 900 people involved. That's a huge event for our club. Nadine said, "... this was a record year at the entry gate: 862 attendees (includes children). Our previous high was in 2013: 723 attendees. Success is more measured in the happiness index of those attending, and many people stopped by on their way out to thank us for the wonderful show. Kids—and there were many—were especially delighted, and I'm sure there were some future mycophiles and mycologists in Sunday's crowd. The mushroom display A stunning entry display greets visitors arriving at the show. by the door was effective, as always, at luring people in. You could actually see the kids' eyes getting bigger as they surveyed the weird mushrooms, and twice during the day kids ran back to our table to tell us that they had spotted the mushroom fairy. There were many repeat adult visitors, too, often bearing mushrooms for identification. -
Sclerotium Rolfsii; Causative Organism of Southern Blight, Stem Rot, White Mold and Sclerotia Rot Disease

It primarily attacks host stems including roots, fruits, petioles and leaves under favourable conditions. It commonly occurs in the tropics, subtropics and other warm temperate regions of the world. Common hosts are legumes, crucifers and cucurbits. On a global perspective, estimated losses of 10 – 20 million dollars associated with S. rolfsii have been recorded with yield depletion ranging from 1 – 60% in fields. Sclerotia serve as primary inoculum for the pathogen and are spread to uninfected areas by wind, water, animals and soil. Control measures include excluding the pathogen from the area, plant removal, soil removal, soil treatment, heat, solarization, chemical soil treatment, cultural practices, resistance and transgenic plant resistance, plant treatment, crop rotation, amongst others. Despite considerable research on this pathogen, its control continues to be a problem. Keywords: Sclerotium rolfsii, stem rot, white mold, stem blight. _____________________________________________________________________________________________ INTRODUCTION Sclerotium rolfsii is a destructive soil borne plant pathogen which causes Southern blight disease on a wide variety of plants. In 1928, the United States Department of Agriculture reported that S. -
