In terms of current dietary advice, 80 g fungi represent one portion of vegetables. Dried fungi and concentrated extracts are also used as medicines and dietary supplements. Some species show strong anti-tumour and antioxidant activity by enhancing various immune system functions and lowering cholesterol levels. Nevertheless, there are also some safety concerns. Edible species might be mistaken for poi- sonous ones, high heavy-metal concentrations in wild edible fungi (WEF) are a known source of chronic poisoning and the consumption of WEF can contribute markedly to the radiocaesium intake of human subjects. Some regions of Europe have a strong WEF tradition, especially eastern Europe. In the UK the consumption of wild fungi is considered of minor importance. Only one-third of adults consume fungi (cultivated species and WEF) throughout the UK; the average intake of fungi in the UK is estimated to be 0.12 kg fresh weight per capita per year. At least eighty-two species of wild fungi are recorded as being consumed in the UK, although certain species (e.g. chanterelle (Cantharellus cibarius), cep (Boletus edulis), oyster mushroom (Pleurotus ostreatus)) are favoured over others. Although WEF are not essential components in the daily diet, they are a nutritionally-valuable addition to the range of vegetables consumed, and their role in helping to avert food shortages in less-favoured areas should be definitely considered. Wild edible fungi: Medicinal fungi: Nutrition: Safety: Health Wild edible fungi (WEF) are a natural resource with a high WEF is widespread (Yorou & De Kesel, 2001; Kuyper, nutritional and economic value.

Pérez-Moreno) Received: 13 April 2017; accepted: 2 July 2018 Abstract The international trade of natural Christmas trees generates billions of US dollars annually; the production of such trees in Mexico is a growing industry, delivering around 900,000 trees annually, mainly from the native species Pinus ayacahuite. To survive, this species establishes a mutualistic symbiosis in its roots known as ectomycorrhiza. However, currently no studies have been performed regarding the ectomycorrhizal inoculation effects on P. ayacahuite. In this work, the effect of ectomycorrhizal inoculation on the growth and nutritional content of P. ayacahuite was evaluated using 2 native edible ectomycorrhizal mushrooms. After 2 years, the inoculation produced increases of total dry weight and total contents of macro- (N, P and Mg) and micronutrients (Fe) of P. ayacahuite. The mycorrhization percentage of inoculated plants varied between 41% and 59%, depending on the inoculum source. Ectomycorrhizal colonization was confirmed with optical and electron microscopy.

Eth- nomycological information was gathered using semi-structured interviews with participants from different mycological associations in Serbia. A total of 62 participants were involved in this study. Eighty-five species belonging to 28 families were identified. All of the reported fungal species were pointed out as edible, and only 15 of them were declared as medicinal. The family Boletaceae was represented by the highest number of species, followed by Russulaceae, Agaricaceae and Polypo- raceae. We also performed detailed analysis of the literature in order to provide scientific evidence for the recorded medicinal use of fungi in Serbia. The male participants reported a higher level of ethnomycological knowledge compared to women, whereas the highest number of used fungi species was mentioned by participants within the age group of 61–80 years.

RESUMEN Antecedentes: El control biológico de las enfermedades de los cereales causadas por hongos micotoxigénicos forma parte de los métodos alternativos a desarrollar para asegurar la producción de alimentos y forrajes, debido a los efectos negativos que estos hongos tienen sobre el rendimiento de los cultivos y su producción potencial de micotoxinas. Objetivo: Actualizar el conocimiento sobre el potencial de los hongos formadores de hongos como agentes de control biológico de especies de hongos micotoxigénicos, actuando como: antagonistas en residuos de cultivos, fuente de extractos activos con propiedades antifúngicas y/o antimicotoxinas y como agentes detoxificantes en procesos de fermentación en estado sólido en cereales contaminados. Métodos: Se realizó una revisión bibliográfica de los trabajos publicados, analizando los temas principales, así como las especies con mayor potencial como agentes de control biológico de los hongos micotoxingénicos. Resultados y conclusiones: Los macromicetos se podrían usar como antagonistas en residuos de cultivos o granos, como fuentes de extractos activos con propiedades antifúngicas y/o antimicotoxigénicas y como agentes desin- toxicantes. Una integración de estos tres potenciales da lugar a un proceso amigable con el medio ambiente para la producción de granos seguros y hongos comestibles.

    ANNALES HISTORICO-NATURALES MUSEI NATIONALIS HUNGARICI Tomus 70. Budapest 1978. Agaricus Studies, VIII. (Basidiomycetes, Agaricaceae) by G. BOHUS, Budapest Abstract — Two new statuses: Agaricus macrosporus (MOELL. et SCHFF.) PILÂT ssp. excellais (MOELL.) stat. n., A. floccipes (MOELL.) BOHUS emend. BOHUS stat. n. Further discussion on A. pampeanus SPEC, A. nivescens (Moell.) MOELL. and A. osecamis PILÂT is given. With 3 figures. Agaricus macrosporus (MOELL. et SCHFF.) PILÂT ssp. excellens (MOELL.) stat. n. Syn. A. excellens (MOELL.) MOELL., Danish Psalliota Species, 1951, p. 178. Concerning its microscopic characters, A. excellens does not differ from. A. macrosporus, the difference is apparent only macroscopically owing to its relatively more slender habit, and, besides this, it occurs in woods. In some cases it does not differ even macroscopically: thus, if we examine the photographs of A. marcosporus published by PILÂT (1953), we shall find that there are also specimens with characters of A. excellens among them, which is indicated by the characterization related to the stem in the description given on the basis of the collected material: "ca diametri pilei aequilongus". (MOELLER, 1951, said when describing A. excellens that the pileus was 10-15 cm, while the stem 10- 14 cm long.) A. macrosporus specimens of even longer stem than this were gathered in one of the pas­ tures of Hungary (Szil, Com. Győr-Sopron, 21 Sept. 1975, leg. SZILI). The maximum measure found here was as follows: pileus 17 cm, stem 20X 3 cm. RICKEN'S (1910-1915, s. n. Psalliota augusta) fungus is interesting. It was found in a pine forest, in accumulated pine needles.
