Helotiales, Ascomycota) Yukito Tochihara the University of Tokyo, Japan AMC 2019 Poster Presentation 1 P1-23 Taxonomic reassessment of three lachnaceous genera (Helotiales, Ascomycota) Yukito Tochihara The University of Tokyo, Japan Purporse: The family Lachnaceae (Helotiales, Ascomycota) is characterized by minute, stipitate apothecia covered by partially to totally granulate hairs. Lachnaceae contains 17 genera and its generic taxonomy has been mainly based on the morphology of hairs and ectal excipulum. In Lachnaceae, taxonomic confusion of three genera (Albotricha, Capitotricha and Dasyscyphella) has long been left. In this study, we aimed to clarify the generic concepts of these three genera. Methods: Species of above three genera were collected mainly from Japan. Generic delimitation was studied considering detailed morphological observation and molecular phylogenetic analysis on three nuclear DNA regions (ITS-5.8S, LSU and RPB2) using ML and Bayesian methods. Results: Two strongly supported clade appeared in molecular phylogenetic analysis: Clade A composed of Albotricha including type species and Clade B composed of Albotricha and Capitotricha including type species. Species in Clade A shared hairs lacking granules at three or more apical cells and ectal excipulums composed of textra angularis, while species in Clade B shared hairs lacking granules at one or two apical cells and ectal excipulums composed of textra prismatica. Species of Dasyscyphella were separated from the both clade in molecular phylogenetic analysis and no clades supporting more than two species appeared. Conclusions: Clade A and Clade B was redefined as Albotricha and Capitotricha respectively and no taxonomic treatment of Dasyscyphella were conducted in this study. Asian Mycological Congress 2019.

G~tzsche Lagarasi 2, 700 Egilsstaoir, Iceland and Institut for Sporeplanter, 0ster-Farirnagsgade 2D, 1353 Copenhagen K, Denmark ABSTRACT: Sixteen species of, Helotiales and Pezizales (Discomy­ cetes) are recorded, whereof 9 species are new to the Icelandic flora: Lachnellula suecica. Ciboria polygoni, Peziza cf. cerea, Peziza fimeti. Peziza granulosa. Geopora sp.. Melastiza eha teri, Otide8 cf. alutacea and T8rzetta spurcata. HELOTIALES Helotiaceae ASCOCORYNE SARCOIDES (Jacq.) Groves & Wils. The species was reported by ROSTRUP (1903, p.313) under the name Coryne sarcoides (Jacq.) Tul., from Halssk6gur in N-Ice­ land, based on a specimen collected by 6lafur Daviosson. It has been found many times in the Public Park in Akureyri (AMNH 199, 9958), growing on stumps of different trees, mainly Betula and Sorbus spp., also in Arnarh6ll near Akureyri, in a garden. In SW-Iceland it has been found by Eirikur Jensson in Fossvogur 1988, and in Vifilsstaoahlio near Hafnarfjorour 1978. In the East it has been collected in the forests of Egilsstaoir and Hallormsstaour in 1987-1988 (AMNH 11642, 11856). The growing season is from late August to October. Since the species is rarely found in the ascus-state, it can­ not be ascertained whether A. cylichnum might also be present in the material or not. Hyaloscyphaceae HYMENOSCYPHUS cf. CALYCULUS (Sow.)

Winter) Honey is a widespread necrotrophic, airborne pathogen of stone fruit. Crop losses due to disease can occur pre- or post-harvest. The disease overwinters as mycelium in rotten fruit (mummies) in the tree or orchard floor, or twig cankers. In spring, conidia are formed from mummies in the tree or cankers, while mummified fruit on the orchard floor may produce ascospores via apothecial fruit bodies. (G. Winter) Honey Winter) Honey (G.

While the effect of a natural disturbance regime on forest physiognomy, spatial structure and pedocomplexity was well described in the literature, its impact on the microbiome, a crucial soil component that mediates nutrient cycling and stand productivity, remains largely unknown. For this purpose, we conducted research on a chronosequence of sites representing the post-disturbance development of a primeval Norway spruce forest in the Calimani Mts., Romania. The sites were selected along a gradient of duration from 16 to 160 years that ranges from ecosystem regeneration phases of recently disturbed open gaps to old-growth forest stands. Based on DNA amplicon sequencing, we followed bacterial and fungal community composition separately in organic, upper Citation: Choma, M.; Šamonil, P.; mineral and spodic horizons of present Podzol soils.

Understanding the patterns and implications of these distributional changes requires comprehensive information on the geography of introduced species. Current knowledge about the alien distribution of macrofungi is limited taxonomically and temporally, which severely hinders the study of human-mediated distribution changes for this taxonomic group.

Endolichenic fungi (ELF) are one of the inhabitants living in lichen thalli, and have potential ecological and industrial applications due to their various secondary metabolites. As the function of endophytic fungi on the plant ecology and ecosystem sustainability, ELF may have an influence on the lichen diversity and the ecosystem, functioning similarly to the influence of endophytic fungi on plant ecology and ecosystem sustainability, which suggests the importance of understanding the diversity and community pattern of ELF. In this study, we investigated the diversity and the factors influencing the community structure of ELF in Jeju Island, South Korea by analyzing 619 fungal isolates from 79 lichen samples in Jeju Island. A total of 112 ELF species was identified and the most common species belonged to Xylariales in Sordariomycetes.

MycoKeys 65: 1–24. https://doi.org/10.3897/mycokeys.65.48409 Abstract During the Last Glacial Maximum (LGM), drastic environmental changes modified the topology of the Japanese Archipelago, impacting species distributions. An example is Fagus crenata, which has a present continuous distribution throughout Japan. However, by the end of the LGM it was restricted to south- ern refugia. Similarly, Dasyscyphella longistipitata (Leotiomycetes, Helotiales, Lachnaceae) occurs strictly on cupules of F. crenata, sharing currently an identical distribution. As the effects of the LGM remain poorly understood for saprobiotic microfungal species, herein we identified past structuring forces that shaped the current genetic diversity within D.

  • Continuum of Root–Fungal Symbioses for Plant Nutrition COMMENTARY Marcel G
    COMMENTARY Continuum of root–fungal symbioses for plant nutrition COMMENTARY Marcel G. A. van der Heijdena,b,c, Nina Dombrowskid, and Klaus Schlaeppia,1 Plants accommodate a specific microbiota on and in their roots that, similar to the microbial communities in human or animal guts, supports the host in nutrient acquisition (1). Beneficial associations with fungi are widespread in the plant kingdom and probably best known are so-called mycorrhizal symbioses (Fig. 1), which are formed between soil fungi and ∼90% of land plants (2). In these partnerships, fungi provide limiting nutrients such as phosphorus (P) in return for photosynthetically fixed carbon from the plant host. Up to 80% of plant P can be derived from the sym- bionts, underpinning the importance of these asso- ciations for plant nutrition. However, ∼10% of all plants do not form mycorrhizal associations, and this prompts the question how nonmycorrhizal plants like Fig. 1. Associations between plants and the fungal root microbiota. Different types of mycorrhizal associations include Glomeromycete fungi forming the Brassicaceae manage to scavenge sufficient arbuscular mycorrhiza with most vascular plants. Ascomycete and Basidiomycete amounts of soil nutrients, especially when growing members form ecto-mycorrhizal symbiosis (mostly with trees), orchid mycorrhiza in nutrient poor environments? with orchids, and ericoid mycorrhizas with plants of the Ericaceae family. Moreover, recent studies demonstrate that the Mucoromycotina, a basal fungal A Functional Plant–Fungal Association in a lineage close to the Glomeromycetes, forms symbiotic associations with a wide range of plants (not shown) (16, 17). Emerging studies indicate that various Nonmycorrhizal Plant nonmycorrhizal plants have the ability to form a functional symbiosis with In PNAS, Almario et al.
