The strongholds for this species in the British Isles are in western Scotland and Eire. H. rhododendri is also found in areas of USA and France with predominantly oceanic climates. It is ranked as Vulnerable in the UK Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP), but as Rare in A provisional Red Data List of British fungi (Ing 1992). Hypocreopsis rhododendri forms conspicuous brownish-orange lichen-like stromata, on branches, usually of hazel or blackthorn. A frequently observed association with the crust- like fruit bodies of the basidiomycete fungus Hymenochaete corrugata warrants further investigation. The stromata are usually visible throughout the year. Microscopy of ascospores is required to confirm identification. Conservation management should focus on balancing site grazing intensity and hazel regeneration. Temporary fencing may be required at some sites. Reinstating lapsed coppice cycles and dead wood removal should be avoided. Willow gloves Hypocreopsis lichenoides was initially collected in Yorkshire in Feb 1790 and described as Sphaeria riccioidea by J.

    AM BRATACH: Raasay’s Community Newsletter April 2017 9 Hazel In the thirteenth of a series of articles on Raasay’s flora, botanist STEPHEN BUNGARD takes a look at Hazel. Hazel (Corylus avellana) is locally plentiful as a native plant on Raasay, especially near the coast. It has also been planted as part of tree-planting schemes. The male flowers are familiar as catkins but the very small red female flowers need to be looked for carefully. They are both found on the same plant, but it does not self- Hazel Gloves Photo: R. Cottis pollinate. Atlantic hazelwood in western Scotland is a unique, species-rich habitat that is the subject of a 2012 publication “Atlantic Hazel – Scotland’s Special Woodlands”, a book that features three images of the woodland at South Screapadal. Amongst other things the book dispels several myths about hazel: • Hazel occurs naturally as an understorey shrub • Multi-stemmed hazel is all hazel coppice • Hazel will die out if it is not regularly coppiced • Hazel will develop into a single-trunked tree if left uncoppiced None of these statements is true, especially of Atlantic hazel. Coppicing selected stems rather than completely cutting whole stools of hazel has long been used to provide straight sticks and firewood. The nuts are of course edible and plentiful in some years. The nuts are a major source of food for wood mice and voles as inspection of the nutshells lying on the ground will reveal. Several galls caused by midges and mites in the leaf, catkin and bud are known. On Skye the rare Hazel Gloves fungus (Hypocreopsis rhododendri) is known in several places, but it is not (yet) known on Raasay.

  • Membership Just Got a Whole Lot Better. the Website Redesign Is
    VOLUME 55: 3 MAY-JUNE 2015 www.namyco.org Membership just got a whole lot better. The website redesign is finally here! As you’ve heard, we contracted with Vieth Consulting this year to makeover the website, install a member management system, and add new member-friendly benefits. In the Members Area behind this basic platform are many new features including forums, calendars, surveys, and ways to communicate news. We designed the NAMA website for you, our members. The member management package includes many perks and more ways to connect to the larger mycological community. For example, instead of Mycophile Editor Dianna Smith laboring over the “send” button for hours, you'll see the newest issue of the newsletter as soon as it’s posted through a web email blast. If you’re curious about the most recent books and field guides to add to your mycological library, you’ll find a section with more than a dozen of the latest book reviews. We’ll be able to let you know about more national and local mycological events through a calendar feature. We will periodically add new stories about our affiliated clubs. We have updated the popular section on mushroom toxins and created a new report form for the Poison Case Registry. Log in to register for the NAMA 2015 Blue Ridge Foray! Our signature annual event, this year hosted by the Asheville Mushroom Club and the Mushroom Club of Georgia, features Alan Bessette as chief mycologist, along with a team of cutting edge scientists and field mycologists. This will be the first year that NAMA has run online registration on our own website (See pages 3-7).

  • Hypocreopsis Lichenoides
    Lost and Found Fungi Datasheet Hypocreopsis lichenoides WHAT TO LOOK FOR? Hypocreopsis lichenoides Flat, fleshy, irregularly lobed, orange-brown, finger-like stroma growing by radiating from a central point, up to 10 cm diam., approx 0.5 cm thick, clinging closely to bark. On twigs and branches of woody plants, particularly willow (Salix). Probably indistinguishable from H. rhododendri without microscopic examination of ascospores, although H. lichenoides has been described with a frosted or mealy surface in some states of maturity due to the presence of an anamorph. Records of either, or specimens identified as “Hypocreopsis sp.”, would be extremely useful to the project. WHEN TO LOOK? Year-round, but particularly September to May. Structures Image by User:Tikka40, CC BY-SA 3.0. may persist for months. WHERE TO LOOK? Wet willow carrs, shady damp willow thickets on boggy land, or near streams or lakes. Usually found on, but not exclusive to, Salix. Hypocreopsis lichenoides is considered to be parasitic on the fungus Hymenochaete tabacina, and presence of the host may indicate likely habitats for new surveys. Dense thickets and closely growing trees with dead intertwining branches, in which fallen dead twigs have become entangled, may be plausible places to investigate, especially if there are indications of twigs/branches fused together.

Current Research in Environmental & Applied Mycology (Journal of Fungal Biology) 8(3), 331–350, Doi 10.5943/cream/8/3/5 Abstract Information on fungal diversity in Andaman and Nicobar Islands, India is meagre. We are investigating the ascomycetous fungal diversity colonizing decaying plant litter in Andaman Islands. Recent collections have yielded four new records of ascomycetes: Diaporthae phaseolorum, Eutypa flavovirens, Rhytidhysteron rufulum and Trichoderma peltatum. These species are reported in this paper supported with morphological and molecular sequencing analyses. Key words – 4-new records – Diaporthae phaseolorum – Eutypa flavovirens – Rhytidhysteron rufulum – Trichoderma peltatum – taxonomy Introduction Fungi are poorly investigated from the Andaman and Nicobar Islands (A & N Islands), India with only 446 fungi recorded although 2400 plant species are known from the Islands (Niranjan & Sarma 2018). Of the known fungi, most reports are of lichenized fungi, leaf inhabiting ascomycetes belonging to the order Meliolales, and marine fungi (Chinnaraj 1993, Hosagoudar 2013, Jagadeesh Ram & Sinha 2016, Niranjan & Sarma 2018).
