A comprehensive description, illustrations, 12 phylogenetic tree and a comparison with a closely allied species are provided. 13 Key words: Boletales, fungi, taxonomy 14 INTRODUCTION 15 An unusual sponge-shaped, terrestrial fungus was encountered by Peay et al. (2010) 16 during a recent study of ectomycorrhizal community structure in the dipterocarp dominated 17 forest of the Lambir Hills in Sarawak, Malaysia. The form of the sporocarp was unusual enough 18 that before microscopic examination the collectors were uncertain whether the fungus was a 19 member of the Ascomycota or the Basidiomycota. However, upon returning to the laboratory it 20 was recognized as a species of the recently described genus Spongiforma Desjardin, Manf. 21 Binder, Roekring & Flegel that was described from dipterocarp forests in Thailand (Desjardin et 22 al. 2009). The Borneo specimens differed in color, odor and basidiospore ornamentation from Desjardin et al – 2 23 the Thai species, and subsequent ITS sequence analysis revealed further differences warranting 24 its formal description as a new species. -

Abstract: Leccinum is one of the most important groups of boletes. Most species in this genus are ectomycorrhizal symbionts of various plants, and some of them are well-known edible mushrooms, making it an exceptionally important group ecologically and economically. The scientific problems related to this genus include that the identification of species in this genus from China need to be verified, especially those referring to European or North American species, and knowledge of the phylogeny and diversity of the species from China is limited. In this study, we conducted multi- locus (nrLSU, tef1-a, rpb2) and single-locus (ITS) phylogenetic investigations and morphological observisions of Leccinum from China, Europe and North America. -

Diversity of Mushrooms at Mu Ko Chang National Park, Trat Province
Proceedings of International Conference on Biodiversity: IBD2019 (2019); 21 - 32 Diversity of mushrooms at Mu Ko Chang National Park, Trat Province Baramee Sakolrak*, Panrada Jangsantear, Winanda Himaman, Tiplada Tongtapao, Chanjira Ayawong and Kittima Duengkae Forest and Plant Conservation Research Office, Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation, Chatuchak District, Bangkok, Thailand *Corresponding author e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Diversity of mushrooms at Mu Ko Chang National Park was carried out by surveying the mushrooms along natural trails inside the national park. During December 2017 to August 2018, a total of 246 samples were classified to 2 phyla Fungi; Ascomycota and Basidiomycota. These mushrooms were revealed into 203 species based on their morphological characteristic. They were classified into species level (78 species), generic level (103 species) and unidentified (22 species). All of them were divided into 4 groups according to their ecological roles in the forest ecosystem, namely, saprophytic mushrooms 138 species (67.98%), ectomycorrhizal mushrooms 51 species (25.12%), plant parasitic mushrooms 6 species (2.96%) termite mushroom 1 species (0.49%). Six species (2.96%) were unknown ecological roles and 1 species as Boletellus emodensis (Berk.) Singer are both of the ectomycorrhizal and plant parasitic mushroom. The edibility of these mushrooms were edible (29 species), inedible (8 species) and unknown edibility (166 species). Eleven medicinal mushroom species were recorded in this study. The most interesting result is Spongiforma thailandica Desjardin, et al. has been found, the first report found after the first discovery in 2009 at Khao Yai National Park by E. Horak, et al. Keywords: Species list, ecological roles, edibility, protected area, Spongiforma thailandica Introduction Mushroom is a group of fungi which has the reproductive part known as the fruit body or fruiting body and develops to form and distribute the spores. -

Revision of Leccinoid Fungi, with Emphasis on North American Taxa
MYCOLOGIA 2020, VOL. 112, NO. 1, 197–211 https://doi.org/10.1080/00275514.2019.1685351 Revision of leccinoid fungi, with emphasis on North American taxa, based on molecular and morphological data Michael Kuo a and Beatriz Ortiz-Santana b aThe Herbarium of Michael Kuo, P.O. Box 742, Charleston, Illinois 61920; bCenter for Forest Mycology Research, Northern Research Station, United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service, One Gifford Pinchot Drive, Madison, Wisconsin 53726 ABSTRACT ARTICLE HISTORY The leccinoid fungi are boletes and related sequestrate mushrooms (Boletaceae, Basidiomycota) Received 30 April 2019 that have traditionally been placed in Leccinum, Boletus, Leccinellum, and a handful of other less Accepted 23 October 2019 familiar genera. These mushrooms generally feature scabers or scaber-like dots on the surface of KEYWORDS the stipe, and they are often fairly tall and slender when compared with other boletes. They are Basidiomycota; Boletaceae; ectomycorrhizal fungi and appear to be fairly strictly associated with specific trees or groups of Octaviania; Chamonixia; related trees. In the present study, we investigate the phylogenetic relationships among the Leccinellum; Leccinum; leccinoid fungi and other members of the family Boletaceae using portions of three loci from Rossbeevera; Turmalinea;10 nuc 28S rDNA (28S), translation elongation factor 1-α (TEF1), and the RNA polymerase II second- new taxa largest subunit (RPB2). Two DNA data sets (combined 28S-TEF1 and 28S-TEF1-RPB2), comprising sequences from nearly 270 voucher specimens, were evaluated using two different phylogenetic analyses (maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference). Five major clades were obtained, and leccinoid fungi appeared in four of them. -
Evolutionary History of the Sequestrate Genus Rossbeevera (Boletaceae) Reveals a New Genus Turmalinea and Highlights the Utility
Persoonia 37, 2016: 173–198 www.ingentaconnect.com/content/nhn/pimj RESEARCH ARTICLE http://dx.doi.org/10.3767/003158516X691212 Evolutionary history of the sequestrate genus Rossbeevera (Boletaceae) reveals a new genus Turmalinea and highlights the utility of ITS minisatellite-like insertions for molecular identification T. Orihara1, T. Lebel 2, Z.-W. Ge3, M.E. Smith 4, N. Maekawa 5 Key words Abstract The sequestrate (truffle-like) basidiomycete genera Rossbeevera, Chamonixia, and Octaviania are closely related to the epigeous mushroom genera Leccinum and Leccinellum. In order to elucidate the properties and place- biogeography ment of several undescribed sequestrate taxa in the group and to reveal the evolutionary history of Rossbeevera and cryptic species its allies, we conducted phylogenetic analyses based on three nuclear (ITS, nLSU, EF-1α) and two mitochondrial DNA barcoding DNA loci (ATP6 and mtSSU) as well as precise morphological observations. Phylogenetic analyses of three nuclear hypogeous fungi loci suggest a complex evolutionary history with sequestrate fruiting bodies present in several clades, including a introgression previously unrecognized sister clade to Rossbeevera. Here we propose a new sequestrate genus, Turmalinea, with species tree four new species and one new subspecies as well as two new species of Rossbeevera. The three-locus nuclear phylogeny resolves species-level divergence within the Rossbeevera-Turmalinea lineage, whereas a separate phylogeny based on two mitochondrial genes corresponds to geographic distance within each species-level line- age and suggests incomplete lineage sorting (ILS) and gene introgression within several intraspecific lineages of Rossbeevera. Furthermore, topological incongruence among the three nuclear single-locus phylogenies suggests that ancient speciation within Rossbeevera probably involved considerable ILS. -
