The new species is macroscopically and microscopically very similar to L. sykosporum and L. transforme, but its spore shape is quite different. Molecular analysis also supports L. rhombisporum as an independent species. Key words — Agaricomycetes, mushroom, taxonomy, ITS, phylogeny Introduction Lyophyllum is a genus in the Lyophyllaceae (Agaricales) with about 40 species, which are widespread in north temperate regions (Kirk et al. 2008). A few Lyophyllum species are well-known edible mushrooms, such as L. shimeji (Kawam.) Hongo, L. decastes (Fr.) Singer, and L. fumosum (Pers.) P.D. Orton. Research in China has reported 19 Lyophyllum species (Li 2002; Li et al. 2005; Dai & Tolgor 2007; Li & Li 2009), but more research is still needed on the taxonomy, molecular phylogeny, and cultivation of this genus. Here we describe a new species, L. rhombisporum from Yiliang County, Yunnan Province, in southwestern China. Materials & methods Microscopic and macroscopic characters were described based on the specimen material (L1736) following the methods of Yang & Zhang (2003).

Zerova ex Kalamees belonging to Lyophyllaceae are collected from Halkalı-İstanbul and studied using both morphologic and molecular methods. According to the classical systematic the genus Tricholomella Zerova ex Kalamees contains more than one species, such as T. constricta and T. leucocephala. Our studies found out that the two species are not genetically too different, but conspecific and a new description is needed including the members with- or without annulus. In this study, illustrations, a short discussion and a simple phylogenetic tree are provided.

  • 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.

    Proceedings of International Conference on Biodiversity: IBD2019 (2019); 21 - 32 Diversity of mushrooms at Mu Ko Chang National Park, Trat Province Baramee Sakolrak*, Panrada Jangsantear, Winanda Himaman, Tiplada Tongtapao, Chanjira Ayawong and Kittima Duengkae Forest and Plant Conservation Research Office, Department of National Parks, Wildlife and Plant Conservation, Chatuchak District, Bangkok, Thailand *Corresponding author e-mail: [email protected] Abstract: Diversity of mushrooms at Mu Ko Chang National Park was carried out by surveying the mushrooms along natural trails inside the national park. During December 2017 to August 2018, a total of 246 samples were classified to 2 phyla Fungi; Ascomycota and Basidiomycota. These mushrooms were revealed into 203 species based on their morphological characteristic. They were classified into species level (78 species), generic level (103 species) and unidentified (22 species). All of them were divided into 4 groups according to their ecological roles in the forest ecosystem, namely, saprophytic mushrooms 138 species (67.98%), ectomycorrhizal mushrooms 51 species (25.12%), plant parasitic mushrooms 6 species (2.96%) termite mushroom 1 species (0.49%). Six species (2.96%) were unknown ecological roles and 1 species as Boletellus emodensis (Berk.) Singer are both of the ectomycorrhizal and plant parasitic mushroom. The edibility of these mushrooms were edible (29 species), inedible (8 species) and unknown edibility (166 species). Eleven medicinal mushroom species were recorded in this study. The most interesting result is Spongiforma thailandica Desjardin, et al. has been found, the first report found after the first discovery in 2009 at Khao Yai National Park by E. Horak, et al. Keywords: Species list, ecological roles, edibility, protected area, Spongiforma thailandica Introduction Mushroom is a group of fungi which has the reproductive part known as the fruit body or fruiting body and develops to form and distribute the spores.

Methodology and Results: The mushrooms were collected at the onset to the end of the rainy season. Mushrooms at different stages of growth were handpicked; photographed at different resolutions and their microhabitats and the month in which they were found was recorded. Species identification was archived by carefully examining the attributes of the sporocarps such as colour, shape, size, texture of the cap; and presence or absence of gills, etc. T-Test and Diversity Indices were conducted on the data. Thirty-one (31) different edible mushroom species were found in the study area. They largely belong to the families of Agaricaceae, Lyophyllaceae and Polyporaceae.

The new species belongs to a small group of species in the Lyophyllum sect. Difformia as traditionally circumscribed. Lyophyllum turcicum is easily distinguished mainly by the light tinges of the basidiomes, filiform-fusiform to cylindro-flexuose marginal cells, and elongate, ellipsoid spores. Key words: Lyophyllaceae, Lyophyllum turcicum, new species, Turkey 1. Introduction L. soniae Picillo & Contu (Italy); and L. tucumanense In recent years some new taxa have been described in Sing. (Argentina, South America). The genus Lyophyllum the complex of the not blackening, caespitose-growing presently consists of about 230 taxa worldwide (Robert et Lyophyllum P. Karst. species belonging to section Difformia al., 1999; Consiglio and Contu, 2002). (Bon, 1999). Lyophyllum sect. Difformia is presently Seven Lyophyllum species [L. decastes (Fr.)
