We hope it meets your expectations for keeping the brand but feeling more reader-friendly. In particular we have tried to tackle people’s main grumble about pages being too dense, so we hope the new product appears less crowded. Please let us have feedback of any sort. Other steps we’ve taken include articles and full editions available for purchase on line, and these will be available in colour throughout. Finally, the BANC website is now ready for blog debates pursuing some of the talking points from each edition. First topics on which we invite your views flow from this issue, and include those of climate change and of alien species, both of which are humdingers affecting so much of our present conservation activity. We will also be taking views on ‘getting started’ in conservation, which is on the minds of many of our readers. The past months’ frenzy of debate on climate change has been game-changing, as hitherto ‘settled science’ is now portrayed as anything but. Blogs and newspapers have gone to town on the subject, with many journalists now looking for conflict in the science rather than more stories of melting glaciers and the plight of polar bears. “I am more convinced than ever about the need for a new language of climate change, based not on scientific certainty but on uncertainty, risk and values.” Says BBC’s environment correspondent Roger Harrabin. Amidst such uncertainty we should be driven by no-regrets policies, taking actions that are relevant to the needs of wildlife and the resilience we need in our ecosystems and landscapes, whatever the volatility of the climate. Installing wind turbines en mass, linked to new high voltage lines across wild land, and policies for exotic tree species designed for warmer scenarios, are topical examples of policies which tick boxes for government, but they have potential to be ‘big regrets’ and ‘big mistake’ policies for the environment and the economy. Several of our authors, including Mike Townsend, Richard Smithers, and Adrian Phillips suggest more subtle and genuine no-regrets proposals in this issue. Turning to alien species, Ian Rotherham starts us off with an overview from last year’s BANC-sponsored conference. He asks us to confront our cultural preferences which in turn influence our prejudices across different misfit species. Our wildlife and ecology is more dynamic and varied than we care to admit – creatures like big cats and eagle owls are intriguing additions to our UK wildlife, which we will debate in future editions, but the likes of springtails and fungi are also crucial to the way nature ebbs and flows, as we see in this issue.

This article reviews key examples and debates, including those which emerged at the 2009 BANC sponsored conference on alien species at Sheffield Hallam University. IAN ROTHERHAM Problem species and their impacts The National Trust estimates the cost of current controls of invasive exotic plants at around £2.7bn per year.1,2 The RSPB states that “Invasives are a significant threat to a large proportion of the world's biodiversity”.3 In response to this threat, the main government department, Defra, has announced a new campaign - Be Plantwise. This is the first part of a two-pronged attack on alien invaders and it aims to raise gardeners’ awareness of problem species and the consequences of deliberate or accidental release.

    A Nomenclatural Study of Armillaria and Armillariella species (Basidiomycotina, Tricholomataceae) by Thomas J. Volk & Harold H. Burdsall, Jr. Synopsis Fungorum 8 Fungiflora - Oslo - Norway A Nomenclatural Study of Armillaria and Armillariella species (Basidiomycotina, Tricholomataceae) by Thomas J. Volk & Harold H. Burdsall, Jr. Printed in Eko-trykk A/S, Førde, Norway Printing date: 1. August 1995 ISBN 82-90724-14-4 ISSN 0802-4966 A Nomenclatural Study of Armillaria and Armillariella species (Basidiomycotina, Tricholomataceae) by Thomas J. Volk & Harold H. Burdsall, Jr. Synopsis Fungorum 8 Fungiflora - Oslo - Norway 6 Authors address: Center for Forest Mycology Research Forest Products Laboratory United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service One Gifford Pinchot Dr. Madison, WI 53705 USA ABSTRACT Once a taxonomic refugium for nearly any white-spored agaric with an annulus and attached gills, the concept of the genus Armillaria has been clarified with the neotypification of Armillaria mellea (Vahl:Fr.) Kummer and its acceptance as type species of Armillaria (Fr.:Fr.) Staude. Due to recognition of different type species over the years and an extremely variable generic concept, at least 274 species and varieties have been placed in Armillaria (or in Armillariella Karst., its obligate synonym). Only about forty species belong in the genus Armillaria sensu stricto, while the rest can be placed in forty-three other modem genera. This study is based on original descriptions in the literature, as well as studies of type specimens and generic and species concepts by other authors. This publication consists of an alphabetical listing of all epithets used in Armillaria or Armillariella, with their basionyms, currently accepted names, and other obligate and facultative synonyms.

  • Wood Chip Fungi: Agrocybe Putaminum in the San Francisco Bay Area
    Wood Chip Fungi: Agrocybe putaminum in the San Francisco Bay Area Else C. Vellinga Department of Plant and Microbial Biology, 111 Koshland Hall, Berkeley CA 94720-3102 [email protected] Abstract Agrocybe putaminum was found growing on wood chips in central coastal California; this appears to be the first record for North America. A short description of the species is given. Its habitat plus the characteristics of wood chip denizens are discussed. Wood chips are the fast food of the fungal world. The desir- able wood is exposed, there is a lot of it, and often the supply is replenished regularly. It is an especially good habitat for mush- room species that like it hot because a thick layer of wood chips is warmed relative to the surrounding environment by the activity of bacteria and microscopic fungi (Brown, 2003; Van den Berg and Vellinga, 1998). Thirty years ago wood chips were a rarity, but nowadays they are widely used in landscaping and gardening. A good layer of chips prevents weeds from germinating and taking over, which means less maintenance and lower costs. Chips also diminish evaporation and keep moisture in the soil. Trees and shrubs are often shredded and dumped locally, but there is also long-dis- tance transport of these little tidbits. Barges full of wood mulch cruise the Mississippi River, and trucks carry the mulch from city to city. This fast food sustains a steady stream of wood chip fungi that, as soon as they are established, fruit in large flushes and are suddenly everywhere. The fungi behave a bit like morels after a Figure 1.

In April, Fungimap Committee member Lyn Allison, with the assistance of Susanna Duffy, updated our entire website which had been ailing since 2016. I hope you are enjoying the new look and finding the new content in the form of posts a good way to stay in touch with us. We are also highlighting this new content by linking to it in our monthly eNews. Members are automatically joined up to the eNews, but we are happy to have anyone else join too. The other big change is that we have a new President. Roz Hart has taken over from Tom May who has been in that position since 2005. In this Newsletter, Roz introduces herself and her hopes for Fungimap. I am sure we will all miss Tom in the role, but we are delighted he will still be involved as part of the ID team and be able to focus on working with Pam Catcheside and Sarah Lloyd in finishing the long-awaited second edition of Fungi Down Under.

    MushRumors The Newsletter of the Northwest Mushroomers Association Volume 25, Issue 4 December 2014 After Arid Start, 2014 Mushroom Season Flourishes It All Came Together By Chuck Nafziger It all came together for the 2014 Wild Mushroom Show; an October with the perfect amount of rain for abundant mushrooms, an enthusiastic volunteer base, a Photo by Vince Biciunas great show publicity team, a warm sunny show day, and an increased public interest in foraging. Nadine Lihach, who took care of the admissions, reports that we blew away last year's record attendance by about 140 people. Add to that all the volunteers who put the show together, and we had well over 900 people involved. That's a huge event for our club. Nadine said, "... this was a record year at the entry gate: 862 attendees (includes children). Our previous high was in 2013: 723 attendees. Success is more measured in the happiness index of those attending, and many people stopped by on their way out to thank us for the wonderful show. Kids—and there were many—were especially delighted, and I'm sure there were some future mycophiles and mycologists in Sunday's crowd. The mushroom display A stunning entry display greets visitors arriving at the show. by the door was effective, as always, at luring people in. You could actually see the kids' eyes getting bigger as they surveyed the weird mushrooms, and twice during the day kids ran back to our table to tell us that they had spotted the mushroom fairy. There were many repeat adult visitors, too, often bearing mushrooms for identification.
