  • Systematics, Barcoding and Ecology of Fungi from Waxcap Grasslands in Britain
    Project report to DEFRA 1: 3 December 2010 Systematics, barcoding and ecology of fungi from waxcap grasslands in Britain Collaborations An important component of the project is to bring together professional scientists and specialist volunteers to contribute specimens and ecological data, and later on to explore ways of improving the existing recording and monitoring schemes. The project will provide valuable data to aid decision-making for conservation management, for example designation of SSSIs and establishment of red data lists. The first action was therefore to publicize the project to potential collaborators, and emails and verbal communications took place both directly with known collectors/recording groups and through the British Mycological Society. Excluding those named in the project application, 33 individuals/recording groups have provided specimens and/or identification data. Our initial request was for all species of Hygrocybe and Geoglossaceae. While a number of these are common and widespread, there are concerns that existing species concepts are too broad and are masking cryptic taxa. Along with specimens that we have collected ourselves, we have received a total of 213 collections belonging to 34 species/varieties of Hygrocybe and four species of Geoglossaceae. The collections have come from 27 different vice-counties in England, Wales and Scotland. Much of the field season was poor for waxcap species, although a number of species fruited abnormally late in the year. With this in mind, we are very happy with the response we have received from field workers, and there has been a widespread welcome for our project. We are confident that our field collaborators will continue to support our work throughout the project period and beyond.

  • 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.

  • Species of Hygrocybe Subgenus Cuphophyllus Hygrophorus Flavipes
    PERS OONIA Published by the Rijksherbarium, Leiden 43-46 Volume 14, Part 1, pp. (1989) Notes on Hygrophoraceae — XI. Observations on some species of Hygrocybe subgenus Cuphophyllus Eef Arnolds Biological Station, Wijster (Drente), Netherlands* The nomenclature of the violaceous of grey species Hygrocybe subgenus Cuphophyllus and the taxonomic position of H. subradiata are discussed. One new species is described and onenew combination is made, viz. Hygrocybe radiata and H. flavipes. In Europe usually two species with a grey violaceous to lilac pileus are distinguished within Hygrocybe subgenus Cuphophyllus Donk (= Camarophyllus sensu auct.), named H. subvio- lacea (Peck) Orton & Watl. and H. lacmus (Schum.) Orton & Watl. The former species is characterized by an entirely white stipe and aromatic smell, whereas the latter species has a yellow base of stipe and no characteristic smell. Recently, Raid& Boertmann (1988) demonstrated that the name Agaricus lacmus Schum. has been since Schumacher did mention (1803: 333) currently misinterpreted not a yellow base of stipe in the original description and an unpublished, authentic plate by that author shows white lacmus Schum. is an entirely stipe. Consequently, Agaricus an earlier synonym ofHygrophorus subviolaceus Peck (1900: 82) and H. lacmus sensu auct. (with a yellow stipe base) should have a new name. According to Raid & Boertmann (1988) the oldest available name is Hygrophorus flavipes Britz.

    Rep. Lundy Field Soc. 53 FUNGI ON LUNDY 2003 By JOHN N . H EDGER 1 AND J. D AVID GEORGE2 'School of Biosciences,University of Westminster, 115 New Cavendish Street, London, WlM 8JS 2Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London, SW7 5BD Dedication: The authors wish to dedicate this paper to Professor John Webst er of the University of Exeter on the occasion of his 80'" birthday, in recognition of his contribution to the Mycology of Southwest Britain. ABSTRACT The results of a preliminary field survey of fungi can·ied out on Lundy between 11-18 October 2003 are reported and compared with previous records. One hundred and eight taxa were identified of which seventy five appear to be new records for the island, in spite of the very dry conditions during the survey. Habitat and resource preferences of the fungi are discussed, and suggesti ons made for further studies on Lundy. Keywords: Lundy, fungi, ecology, biodiversity. INTRODUCTION Although detailed studies of the lichen fl ora of Lundy have been published (Noon & Hawksworth, 1972; lames et al., 1995, 1996), the fungi of Lundy have remained little studied. Mcist existing data consisted of a series of lists published in the Annual Report s of the Lundy Field Society, beginning in 1970. We could onl y trace three earli er records of fungi on Lundy, from 1965 and 1967, by visiting members of the British Mycological Society. The obj ect of the present study was to start a more systematic in ventory of the diversity of fungi on Lundy, and the habitats they occupy on the island, and to begin a database of Lundy fungi for entry in the British Mycological Society U.K.

This paper includes data on localities of 38 species of non-lichenized protected fungi occurring in the Pieniny National Park. The species have been categorized as endangered and rare both in Poland and in Polish part of the Carpathians. This work is a complement and verification of knowledge on pro- tected fungi of this area after changes to law made in 2014. The paper pro- vides detailed data on localities of 18 species, including Discina fastigiata, Hygrophorus erubescens, Inonotus obliquus, Skeletocutis odora and Tricholoma aurantium, species that have not been observed in the area so far. Additional 13 species are fungi which had been recorded from the PPN before, however, after changes to the law they achieved the status of protected or new data on their localities were collected. The author also compared the fungal abun- dance and species richness of the PPN to selected national parks located in the southern Poland.
