Laccariopsis is morphologically close to these genera but distinguished by a unique combination of features: a Laccaria-like habit (distant, thick, subdecurrent lamellae), viscid pileus and upper stipe, glabrous stipe with a long pseudorhiza connecting with Ammophila and Juniperus roots and incorporating plant debris and sand particles, pileipellis consisting of a loose ixohymeniderm with slender pileocystidia, large and thin- to thick-walled spores and basidia, thin- to slightly thick-walled hymenial cystidia and caulocystidia, and monomitic stipe tissue. Phylogenetic analyses based on a combined ITS-LSU sequence dataset place Laccariopsis close to Gloiocephala and Rhizomarasmius. Key words — Agaricomycetes, Physalacriaceae, /gloiocephala clade, phylogeny, taxonomy Introduction Hydropus mediterraneus was originally described by Pacioni & Lalli (1985) based on collections from Mediterranean dune ecosystems in Central Italy, Sardinia, and Tunisia. Previous collections were misidentified as Laccaria maritima (Theodor.) Singer ex Huhtinen (Dal Savio 1984) due to their laccarioid habit. The generic attribution to Hydropus Kühner ex Singer by Pacioni & Lalli (1985) was due mainly to the presence of reddish watery droplets on young lamellae and sarcodimitic tissue in the stipe (Corner 1966, Singer 1982).

CATHERINE AIME10, TOLGOR BAU11, TERRY HENKEL12 Abstract The genus Megacollybia, originally proposed for M. (Collybia) platyphylla, has traditional- ly been treated as monotaxic. A phylogenetic reconstruction based on ITS rDNA sequences indicates that several species are involved, with strong phylogeographic signal. Although morphological characters are largely qualitative, examination of basidiomata suggests that specimens included in discrete clades can be distinguished at the species level. On these bases (phylogenetic, morphological), several new taxa are proposed: M. clitocyboidea, M. texensis, M. fusca, M. subfurfuracea, M. rodmani (with f. murina) and M. marginata. Tricholomopsis fallax is transferred to Megacollybia; M. platyphylla remains the type species of the genus but appears to be restricted to Europe, Scandinavia and western and central Russia.

Foster, [email protected] Abstract: Fungi are often inconspicuous in nature and this means it is all too easy to overlook their importance. Often referred to as the “Forgotten Kingdom”, fungi are key components of life on this planet. The phylum Basidiomycota, considered to contain the most complex and evolutionarily advanced members of this Kingdom, includes some of the most iconic fungal species such as the gilled mushrooms, puffballs and bracket fungi. Basidiomycetes inhabit a wide range of ecological niches, carrying out vital ecosystem roles, particularly in carbon cycling and as symbiotic partners with a range of other organisms. Specifically in the context of human use, the basidiomycetes are a highly valuable food source and are increasingly medicinally important. In this review, seven main categories, or ‘roles’, for basidiomycetes have been suggested by the authors: as model species, edible species, toxic species, medicinal basidiomycetes, symbionts, decomposers and pathogens, and two species have been chosen as representatives of each category.

  • Tarset and Greystead Biological Records
    Tarset and Greystead Biological Records published by the Tarset Archive Group 2015 Foreword Tarset Archive Group is delighted to be able to present this consolidation of biological records held, for easy reference by anyone interested in our part of Northumberland. It is a parallel publication to the Archaeological and Historical Sites Atlas we first published in 2006, and the more recent Gazeteer which both augments the Atlas and catalogues each site in greater detail. Both sets of data are also being mapped onto GIS. We would like to thank everyone who has helped with and supported this project - in particular Neville Geddes, Planning and Environment manager, North England Forestry Commission, for his invaluable advice and generous guidance with the GIS mapping, as well as for giving us information about the archaeological sites in the forested areas for our Atlas revisions; Northumberland National Park and Tarset 2050 CIC for their all-important funding support, and of course Bill Burlton, who after years of sharing his expertise on our wildflower and tree projects and validating our work, agreed to take this commission and pull everything together, obtaining the use of ERIC’s data from which to select the records relevant to Tarset and Greystead. Even as we write we are aware that new records are being collected and sites confirmed, and that it is in the nature of these publications that they are out of date by the time you read them. But there is also value in taking snapshots of what is known at a particular point in time, without which we have no way of measuring change or recognising the hugely rich biodiversity of where we are fortunate enough to live.

Current Research in Environmental & Applied Mycology (Journal of Fungal Biology) 11(1), 248–262, Doi 10.5943/cream/11/1/18 Abstract As an outcome of fungal forays, a number of collections of genera Strobilurus and Xerula were made from Kashmir, Himalaya. These collections were analyzed taxonomically as per the standard methodology. In the present paper, three species of the genus Xerula viz. X. furfuracea, X. radicata var. setosa var. nov., X. kenyae and one species of the genus Strobilurus namely S. tenacellus are discussed. Among these species, one new variety is proposed viz. Xerula radicata var. setosa var. nov. and the other three species are reported for the first time from India. Full descriptions, field photographs, microphotographs, drawings of macroscopic and microscopic features and a key to the explored taxa are provided. Keywords – Inamyloid basidiospores – Strobilurus – Taxonomic Key – Xerula Introduction The family Physalacriaceae was originally described by Corner (1970) and revised by Berthier (1985).

Cibaomyces is morphologically characterized by the combination of the following characters: basidioma small to medium-sized, collybioid to tricholomatoid; pileus viscid; hymenophore sinuate to subdecurrent, relatively distant, with brown lamellar edge; stipe sticky and densely covered with felted squamules; basidiospores thin-walled, ornamented with finger-like projections; cystidia nearly cylindrical, thin-walled, often heavily incrusted. Molecular phylogenetic analyses using DNA nucleotide sequences of the internal transcribed spacer region and the large subunit nuclear ribosomal RNA loci indicated that Cibaomyces was related to Gloiocephala, Laccariopsis and Rhizomarasmius. A description, line drawings, phylogenetic placement and comparison with allied taxa are presented. Key words: Basidiomycetes·distribution·new taxa·taxonomy Introduction During our study of the fungi in the Physalacriaceae in East Asia (Wang et al. 2008; Yang et al. 2009; Qin et al. 2014; Tang et al. 2014), we have found collections with echinate basidiospores, which are very similar to the species of Oudemansiella sect.
