Plryllostictoides Zherbcle ex Bocrema (Boerema, 1997), have been discussed. The present concept of that species separates a number of host-specific varieties. but P. exigua var. exigua is a plurivorous, cosmopolitan wound and weakly parasitic fungus, which has been isolated from more than 200 ho I genera in Eurasia. It morphological variability clearly i llustrates the various characters of the . ection Phyl/os1ictoides: pycnidia thin-walled, pseudoparenchymatous. glabrous. but sometimes with hyphal outgrowths. usually w ith a predetermined opening or ostiole. but sometimes remaining closed for a long time before final formation of a pore. The conidia have a broad range of shapes and dimensions and arc mainly ascp1a1e in vitro, but in vivo the larger conidia often become two or even more celled by second­ ary septation. T he percentage of septate conidia depends on environmental conditions and may vary in vivo between 5 and 95%. Under normal laboratory conditions the majority of conidia always remain one-celled. but some larger conidia usually become septate. Apart from the type of substrate. humidity and de iccation. temperature may greatly influence conidial character of these Plroma species in vivo (see the discussions under Plroma ligulicola Boerema var. /igulicola (no.

NOTE: In 2002 Norvell noted taxonomic confusion between F. bisphaerigera and 'Mycena rainierensis' to be resolved when Redhead combined M. rainierensis in Fayodia. As no such transfer has been made, the status of the PNW taxon remains unresolved. The PNW reports of F.

  • LUNDY FUNGI: FURTHER SURVEYS 2004-2008 by JOHN N
    Journal of the Lundy Field Society, 2, 2010 LUNDY FUNGI: FURTHER SURVEYS 2004-2008 by JOHN N. HEDGER1, J. DAVID GEORGE2, GARETH W. GRIFFITH3, DILUKA PEIRIS1 1School of Life Sciences, University of Westminster, 115 New Cavendish Street, London, W1M 8JS 2Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London, SW7 5BD 3Institute of Biological Environmental and Rural Sciences, University of Aberystwyth, SY23 3DD Corresponding author, e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The results of four five-day field surveys of fungi carried out yearly on Lundy from 2004-08 are reported and the results compared with the previous survey by ourselves in 2003 and to records made prior to 2003 by members of the LFS. 240 taxa were identified of which 159 appear to be new records for the island. Seasonal distribution, habitat and resource preferences are discussed. Keywords: Fungi, ecology, biodiversity, conservation, grassland INTRODUCTION Hedger & George (2004) published a list of 108 taxa of fungi found on Lundy during a five-day survey carried out in October 2003. They also included in this paper the records of 95 species of fungi made from 1970 onwards, mostly abstracted from the Annual Reports of the Lundy Field Society, and found that their own survey had added 70 additional records, giving a total of 156 taxa. They concluded that further surveys would undoubtedly add to the database, especially since the autumn of 2003 had been exceptionally dry, and as a consequence the fruiting of the larger fleshy fungi on Lundy, especially the grassland species, had been very poor, resulting in under-recording. Further five-day surveys were therefore carried out each year from 2004-08, three in the autumn, 8-12 November 2004, 4-9 November 2007, 3-11 November 2008, one in winter, 23-27 January 2006 and one in spring, 9-16 April 2005.

Fefelovd a V.L.Komarov Botanical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, St. Petersburg, Russia, b Fairmont State College, Fairmont, West Virginia, U.S.A., c Volgograd Medical Academy, Department of Pharmacology and Botany, Volgograd, Russia, d Ural State University, Department of Botany, Yekaterinburg, Russia Summary For myxomycetes the understanding of their diversity and of their ecological function remains underdeveloped. Various problems in recording myxomycetes and analysis of their diversity are discussed by the examples taken from tundra, boreal, and arid areas of Russia and Kazakhstan. Recent advances in inventory of some regions of these areas are summarised. A rapid technique of moist chamber cultures can be used to obtain quantitative estimates of myxomycete species diversity and species abundance. Substrate sampling and species isolation by the moist chamber technique are indispensable for myxomycete inventory, measurement of species richness, and species abundance. General principles for the analysis of myxomycete diversity are discussed. Key words: slime moulds, Mycetozoa, Myxomycetes, biodiversity, ecology, distribu- tion, habitats Introduction decay (Madelin, 1984). The life cycle of myxomycetes includes two trophic stages: uninucleate myxoflagellates General patterns of community structure of terrestrial or amoebae, and a multi-nucleate plasmodium (Fig. 1). macro-organisms (plants, animals, and macrofungi) are The entire plasmodium turns almost all into fruit bodies, well known.

We excluded any classes, families, or genera: 1) that are known to be (largely or entirely) comprised of non-saprotrophs or for which the nutritional modes are unknown, 2) for which we have no information regarding a role in lignin decay, 3) for which there is published evidence that the taxon is either nonlignolytic or weakly lignolytic, 4) that are or may be lignolytic, but for which there is insufficient evidence that they are highly lignolytic, 5) for which existing evidence regarding their capacity to decay lignin is contradictory, 6) that are represented in our data set by fewer than 20 sequences regardless of their physiology, 7) that were “unclassified” at the order or class level (most not shown below), 8) that were “unclassified” at the genus level (not shown below) and did not belong to families selected as “highly lignolytic taxa” (see Table S2). We list the current (to the best of our knowledge) taxonomic placement of any taxa we excluded. If this differed from the classification we obtained from the Ribosomal Database Project fungal LSU rRNA v7 classifier (Liu et al. 2012) files, we documented this in the notes column.

Observations of lignin removal range from none to very high for different species, strains, substrates, and studies (Worrall et al.

  • 1 the SOCIETY LIBRARY CATALOGUE the BMS Council
    THE SOCIETY LIBRARY CATALOGUE The BMS Council agreed, many years ago, to expand the Society's collection of books and develop it into a Library, in order to make it freely available to members. The books were originally housed at the (then) Commonwealth Mycological Institute and from 1990 - 2006 at the Herbarium, then in the Jodrell Laboratory,Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, by invitation of the Keeper. The Library now comprises over 1100 items. Development of the Library has depended largely on the generosity of members. Many offers of books and monographs, particularly important taxonomic works, and gifts of money to purchase items, are gratefully acknowledged. The rules for the loan of books are as follows: Books may be borrowed at the discretion of the Librarian and requests should be made, preferably by post or e-mail and stating whether a BMS member, to: The Librarian, British Mycological Society, Jodrell Laboratory Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond, Surrey TW9 3AB Email: <[email protected]> No more than two volumes may be borrowed at one time, for a period of up to one month, by which time books must be returned or the loan renewed. The borrower will be held liable for the cost of replacement of books that are lost or not returned. BMS Members do not have to pay postage for the outward journey. For the return journey, books must be returned securely packed and postage paid. Non-members may be able to borrow books at the discretion of the Librarian, but all postage costs must be paid by the borrower.

    Myxomycete diversity of the Altay Mountains (southwestern Siberia, Russia) 1* 2 YURI K. NOVOZHILOV , MARTIN SCHNITTLER , 3 4 ANASTASIA V. VLASENKO & KONSTANTIN A. FEFELOV *[email protected] 1,3V.L. Komarov Botanical Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences 197376 St. Petersburg, Russia, 2Institute of Botany and Landscape Ecology, Ernst-Moritz-Arndt University D-17487 Greifswald, Germany, 4Institute of Plant and Animal Ecology of the Russian Academy of Sciences Ural Division, 620144 Yekaterinburg, Russia Abstract ― A survey of 1488 records of myxomycetes found within a mountain taiga-dry steppe vegetation gradient has identified 161 species and 41 genera from the southeastern Altay mountains and adjacent territories of the high Ob’ river basin. Of these, 130 species were seen or collected in the field and 59 species were recorded from moist chamber cultures. Data analysis based on the species accumulation curve estimates that 75–83% of the total species richness has been recorded, among which 118 species are classified as rare (frequency < 0.5%) and 7 species as abundant (> 3% of all records). Among the 120 first species records for the Altay Mts. are 6 new records for Russia. The southeastern Altay taiga community assemblages appear highly similar to other taiga regions in Siberia but differ considerably from those documented from arid regions. The complete and comprehensive illustrated report is available at http://www.Mycotaxon.com/resources/weblists.html. Key words ― biodiversity, ecology, slime moulds Introduction Although we have a solid knowledge about the myxomycete diversity of coniferous boreal forests of the European part of Russia (Novozhilov 1980, 1999, Novozhilov & Fefelov 2001, Novozhilov & Lebedev 2006, Novozhilov & Schnittler 1997, Schnittler & Novozhilov 1996) the species associated with this vegetation type in Siberia are poorly studied.
