PERSOON I A Volume 18. Part 2. 149- 150(2003) rN MEMORIAM RUDOLF ARNOLD MAAS GEESTERANUS DEN HA AG, 20 JANUA RY 19 11 - 0 EGSTGEEST, JS MAY 2003 On 18 May 2003 Rudolf Maas Geestemnus died peacefully at the age of 92. With him the mycological world has lost a remarkable and versatile per onality. who worked on the taxonomy of fungi for almost 60 years producing papers and books on a wide range of topics. including both asco- and ba idiomycetes. The bibliographical notes and publication list printed in this journal on his retirement from active service at the Rijksherbarium in 1976. and on his eightieth birthday in 1991 (Bas. Persoonia 8 ( 1976) 335-343. and Persoonia 14 (1992) 353-356) reflect the extent of his profes­ sional interes1s and output during his long career. After 1991 Maas Geesteranus went on tirelessly. producing another set of papers on the genus Mycena. which was his main interest in his last years of mycological activities. M ilestones in 1his period were the 1wo volumes of the Mycenas of 1he orthem Hemisphere ( 1992). a compila1ion of his vast knowledge of the genus, and a monograph of the Mycenas occurring in the state of Parana, Brazil. produced in close cooperation with Andre de M eijer ( 1997). Although M aa Gee ternnus retired from active mycology a few years ago, he was well and active until his death. still very much engaged with his hobbies. such as the study of minerals. butterflies. and painting. Rudolf M aas Gccstcranus will be remembered not only as an outstanding mycologist. but above all as a kind and helpful man. who advised and stimulated several genera­ tions of mycologists. both professional and amateur. For this we are very grateful. Our thoughts are with Martha. his wife, and his children and grandch ildren. who will mis him dearly. U ST OF PUBLICATIONS OF R.A.

ULJE (1939-2003) On 6 April 2003 a tragic accident led to 1he untimely death of Kees Ulje. mycologist and active member of the Netherlands' Mycological Society. Kees· first contact with mycology dated back some twenty years ago when. not being able 10 continue his pro­ fession a a roadworkcr, he became more and more interested in the study of agarics and taxonomy. In the first few years he acquired a general knowledge of mushrooms and toadstools. collecting and painting them in his own meticulous style, but gradually he became more and more involved in the study of ink caps (Copri1111s), eventually becoming one of the world's leading special ists in this taxonomically and ecologically interesting and difficult group of fungi. This resulted not only in a cries of popular and scientific papers. but also in a network of personal contacts with mycologists all over the world. Kees wa typically a self-made man: with only a limited higher education. he nonethe­ le s developed all the knowledge and skills necessary for his mycological studies. He had a gift for drawing and made beautiful illustrations for his publ ications. His affinity with computers and programming was put to good use 10 produce a unique website on Copri1111s. and to develop an identification program, which could be down-loaded from hi site. and not only served for the identification of ink caps, but al. o a wide range of other genera. Above all Kees was a very sociable man. always willing to help other people and pass on his knowledge. without any self-profit. As such he stimulated the interest of many people, not only in the Netherlands' Mycological Society. but all over the world through the Internet. His contribution to the Flora agaricina neerlandica on the genus Copri1111s wi ll be published in due course. We will also try to keep his website on line and up to date. A s such we will commemorate and honour this remarkable person. Our thought.~ are with Ida, his wife. and hi children and grandchildren, who still have great difficulties to accept hi untimely passing away. LIST OF PUBLICATIONS Uljc. C.

Current Research in Environmental & Applied Mycology 5(3), 213–247, Doi 10.5943/cream/5/3/6 Abstract This paper includes the results of eco-taxonomic studies of coprophilous mushrooms in Punjab, India. The information is based on the survey to dung localities of the state during the various years from 2007-2011. A total number of 172 collections have been observed, growing as saprobes on dung of various domesticated and wild herbivorous animals in pastures, open areas, zoological parks, and on dung heaps along roadsides or along village ponds, etc. High coprophilous mushrooms’ diversity has been established and a number of rare and sensitive species recorded with the present study. The observed collections belong to 95 species spread over 20 genera and 07 families of the order Agaricales. The present paper discusses the distribution of these mushrooms in Punjab among different seasons, regions, habitats, and growing habits along with their economic utility, habitat management and conservation. This is the first attempt in which various dung localities of the state has been explored systematically to ascertain the diversity, seasonal availability, distribution and ecology of coprophilous mushrooms.

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.

Clavaria diverticulata, Clavulinopsis dimorphica and Clavulinopsis imperata are new species, and Clavaria gibbsiae, Clavaria fumosa and Clavulinopsis helvola are reported for the first time for the country. Illustrations of the basidiomata and the microstructures are provided for all taxa, as well as SEM images of ornamented basidiospores which occur in Clavulinopsis helvola and Ramariopsis kunzei. A key to the Clavariaceae of Brazil is also included. Key words: clavarioid; morphology; taxonomy Introduction Clavariaceae Chevall. (Agaricales) comprises species with various types of basidiomata, including clavate, coralloid, resupinate, pendant-hydnoid and hygrophoroid forms (Hibbett & Thorn 2001, Birkebak et al. 2013). The family was first proposed to accommodate mostly saprophytic club and coral-like fungi that were previously placed in Clavaria Vaill. ex. L., including species that are now in other genera and families, such as Clavulina J.Schröt.

North American Fungi 3(7): 161-166. doi: 10.2509/naf2008.003.0079 Corresponding author: [email protected]. Accepted for publication May 1, 2008. http://pnwfungi.org Copyright © 2008 Pacific Northwest Fungi Project. All rights reserved. Abstract: Four 17th and early 18th Century examples of illustrations of Xylaria species are presented. One of the earliest illustrations of a Xylaria species is that in Mentzel’s Pugillus rariorum plantarum published in 1682 and which Fries referred to Sphaeria polymorpha. An 1711 illustration by Marchant is noteworthy in the detail of the observations; perithecia and ascospores are noted and illustrated. Marchant considered this fungus to be related to marine corals. The plate was subsequently redone and incorporated by Micheli in his 1729 publication, Nova plantarum genera; this Micheli plate was listed by Fries under a different species, Sphaeria digitata. Although Fries mentions several illustrations of Sphaeria hypoxylon not all the sources he cited contain illustrations. The earliest illustration associated 162 Pfister. Early illustrations of Xylaria species. North American Fungi 3(7): 161-166 with this species that was located is Micheli’s in 1729. These illustrations are included along with discussion of the authors and books in which the illustrations appear. Key words: Fries, Marchant, Mentzel, Micheli, Xylaria, early illustrations The genus Xylaria Hill ex Schrank is one that literature related to the illustrations, and to many people recognize but only few understand.

    Clavaria Miniata) Flame Fungus

    A LITTLE BOOK OF CORALS Pat and Ed Grey Reiner Richter Ramariopsis pulchella Revision 3 (2018) Ramaria flaccida De’ana Williams 2 Introduction This booklet illustrates some of the Coral Fungi found either on FNCV Fungi Forays or recorded for Victoria. Coral fungi are noted for their exquisite colouring – every shade of white, cream, grey, blue, purple, orange and red - found across the range of species. Each description page consists of a photo (usually taken by a group member) and brief notes to aid identification. The corals are listed alphabetically by genus and species and a common name has been included. In this revision five species have been added: Clavicorona taxophila, Clavulina tasmanica, Ramaria pyrispora, R. watlingii and R. samuelsii. A field description sheet is available as a separate PDF. Coral Fungi are so-called because the fruit-bodies resemble marine corals. Some have intricate branching, while others are bushier with ‘florets’ like a cauliflower or broccolini. They also include those species that have simple, club-shaped fruit-bodies. Unlike fungi such as Agarics that have gills and Boletes that have pores, the fertile surface bearing the spores of coral fungi is the external surface of the upper branches. All species of Artomyces, Clavaria, Clavulina, Clavulinopsis, Multiclavula, Ramariopsis and Tremellodendropsis have a white spore print while Ramaria species have a yellow to yellow-brown spore print, which is sometimes seen when the mature spores dust the branches. Most species grow on the ground except for two Peppery Corals Artomyces species and Ramaria ochracea that grow on fallen wood. Ramaria filicicola grows on woody litter and Tree-fern stems.

    Wood Chip Fungi: Agrocybe putaminum in the San Francisco Bay Area Else C. Vellinga Department of Plant and Microbial Biology, 111 Koshland Hall, Berkeley CA 94720-3102 [email protected] Abstract Agrocybe putaminum was found growing on wood chips in central coastal California; this appears to be the first record for North America. A short description of the species is given. Its habitat plus the characteristics of wood chip denizens are discussed. Wood chips are the fast food of the fungal world. The desir- able wood is exposed, there is a lot of it, and often the supply is replenished regularly. It is an especially good habitat for mush- room species that like it hot because a thick layer of wood chips is warmed relative to the surrounding environment by the activity of bacteria and microscopic fungi (Brown, 2003; Van den Berg and Vellinga, 1998). Thirty years ago wood chips were a rarity, but nowadays they are widely used in landscaping and gardening. A good layer of chips prevents weeds from germinating and taking over, which means less maintenance and lower costs. Chips also diminish evaporation and keep moisture in the soil. Trees and shrubs are often shredded and dumped locally, but there is also long-dis- tance transport of these little tidbits. Barges full of wood mulch cruise the Mississippi River, and trucks carry the mulch from city to city. This fast food sustains a steady stream of wood chip fungi that, as soon as they are established, fruit in large flushes and are suddenly everywhere. The fungi behave a bit like morels after a Figure 1.

    Anthropogenic N deposition increases soil C storage by reducing the relative abundance of lignolytic fungi. Elizabeth M. Entwistle, Donald R. Zak, and William A. Argiroff. Ecological Monographs. APPENDIX S3 Table S1. Agaricomycete taxa excluded from our list of “highly lignolytic taxa”. 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.
