Director – Directorate of Forests The need to protect and improve the management and monitoring of forest resources across Europe has become increasingly clear in recent years. Forests and their associated resources are immensely valuable to the economies and welfare of both developing and developed nations and there is worldwide concern over the impacts of global climate change on forests as well as the rate at which this change is taking place. Forests are one of the most important terrestrial ecosystems, of vital significance for sustaining the balance between oxygen and carbon in the atmosphere and they are under threat. Forests provide key ecosystem services – they regulate climate, sequester carbon, protect watersheds, and help conserve biodiversity. Many of our decisions are made without a full understanding of the value of these ecosystem services, or of the rate at which forests are being lost in the pursuit of more immediate economic gains. Sophisticated forest observation systems and methodologies are now available and the need for accurate information on change within forests is increasing. Thus, our common understanding of forest change and air pollution effects on forests will improve dramatically. Good and effective communication between scientists and forestry experts within the context of monitoring forest condition is a prerequisite for establishing the values, issues, risks, and challenges related to global change. Proposing measures for integrated sustainable land use of the key ecosystems on the planet is now possible and will help to limit the adverse impacts of air pollution and other anthro- pogenic impacts on forest condition.

LICHENS use has dramatically altered the global nitrogen cycle. Lichens are very sensitive indicators of nitrogen deposition. Deposition is high on 75% of the Euro- pean forest plots and this is reflected in the change in lichen species composition over time (see p. 8). 3. MOSSES Mosses absorb most of their nutrients and water across their surface. As a result, they are directly affected by atmospheric deposition. In a study car- ried out in Austria, Croatia, Italy, and Slovenia the nitrogen content in mosses significantly increased with increasing nitrogen deposition (see p. 10). 4. FUNGI Fungal species diversity and structure significantly decrease with increasing nitrogen deposition. On a European transect through nine countries, 393 mycorrhizal species were determined. These fungal types live in symbiosis with tree roots and play a major role in nutrient uptake by trees (see p. 12). 5. SOIL SOLUTION An analysis of trends on the Level II plots showed exceedances of critical limits for nitrogen in the subsoil on 50% of the plots.

  • MUSHROOMS of the OTTAWA NATIONAL FOREST Compiled By
    MUSHROOMS OF THE OTTAWA NATIONAL FOREST Compiled by Dana L. Richter, School of Forest Resources and Environmental Science, Michigan Technological University, Houghton, MI for Ottawa National Forest, Ironwood, MI March, 2011 Introduction There are many thousands of fungi in the Ottawa National Forest filling every possible niche imaginable. A remarkable feature of the fungi is that they are ubiquitous! The mushroom is the large spore-producing structure made by certain fungi. Only a relatively small number of all the fungi in the Ottawa forest ecosystem make mushrooms. Some are distinctive and easily identifiable, while others are cryptic and require microscopic and chemical analyses to accurately name. This is a list of some of the most common and obvious mushrooms that can be found in the Ottawa National Forest, including a few that are uncommon or relatively rare. The mushrooms considered here are within the phyla Ascomycetes – the morel and cup fungi, and Basidiomycetes – the toadstool and shelf-like fungi. There are perhaps 2000 to 3000 mushrooms in the Ottawa, and this is simply a guess, since many species have yet to be discovered or named. This number is based on lists of fungi compiled in areas such as the Huron Mountains of northern Michigan (Richter 2008) and in the state of Wisconsin (Parker 2006). The list contains 227 species from several authoritative sources and from the author’s experience teaching, studying and collecting mushrooms in the northern Great Lakes States for the past thirty years. Although comments on edibility of certain species are given, the author neither endorses nor encourages the eating of wild mushrooms except with extreme caution and with the awareness that some mushrooms may cause life-threatening illness or even death.

  • Mycobiology Research Article
    Mycobiology Research Article Genet Variation of Ectomycorrhizal Suillus granulatus Fruiting Bodies in Pinus strobus Stands Hwa-Yong Lee and Chang-Duck Koo* Department of Forest Science, Chungbuk National University, Cheongju 28644, Korea Abstract The genets of Suillus granulatus in a Pinus strobus stand (13 m × 60 m) were identified using random amplified polymorphic DNA molecular markers and the DNA of mushrooms that fruited for two years, and variations in genet size and distribution were analyzed. From a total of 116 mushrooms, 73 genets were identified and were grouped into three locations. The genets of mushrooms in close proximity differed from each other. The genet sizes varied at any of the three locations. The lengths of the identified genets in the pine stand ranged from 0.09 to 2.90 m. The average number of mushrooms per genet was 1.2 to 2.3, and the percentage of genets that were represented by a single mushroom was 44% to 94%. This variation in the genets of mushrooms in close proximity suggests that the ectomycorrhizal mycelial bodies of S. granulatus propagated sexually by fusing haploid spores derived from the mushrooms gills with below-ground mycelia. Therefore, it is necessary further to investigate the formation of new genets through spores in ectomycorrhizal fungal colonies.

  • Systematics of Rocky Mountain Alpine Laccaria
    Systematics of Rocky Mountain alpine Laccaria (basidiomycota, agaricales, tricholomataceae) and ecology of Beartooth Plateau alpine macromycetes by Todd William Osmundson A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in Plant Sciences and Plant Pathology Montana State University © Copyright by Todd William Osmundson (2003) Abstract: The alpine zone is comprised of habitats at elevations above treeline. Macromycetes (fungi that produce mushrooms) play important ecological roles as decomposers and mycorrhizal symbionts here as elsewhere. This research examined alpine macromycetes from the Rocky Mountains over 3 years, and includes: 1) a morphological taxonomic study of alpine Laccaria species, 2) a molecular phylogenetic study of alpine Laccaria using ribosomal DNA internal transcribed spacer (rDNA-ITS) sequences, and 3) a plot-based synecological study of macromycetes on the Beartooth Plateau (Montana/Wyoming, USA). The genus Laccaria is an important group of ectomycorrhizal (EM) basidiomycetes widely used in experimental and applied research on EM fungi. Five taxa are recognized in the Rocky Mountain alpine using macro- and micromorphological and culture data. All occur in Colorado, and are: Laccaria bicolor, L. laccata var. pallidifolia, L. pumila, L. montana and L. sp.(a new taxon similar to L. montana, with more elliptical, finely echinulate basidiospores). Only L. pumila and L. montana occur on the Beartooth Plateau. All are associated with species of Salix, and L. laccata also with Dryas octopetala and Betula glandulosa. Maximum-parsimony phylogenetic analysis of rDNA-ITS sequences for 16 alpine Laccaria collections provided strong support for morphological species delineations. Laccaria laccata var. pallidifolia is highly divergent relative to other taxa.

  • An Inventory of Fungal Diversity in Ohio Research Thesis Presented In
    An Inventory of Fungal Diversity in Ohio Research Thesis Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation with research distinction in the undergraduate colleges of The Ohio State University by Django Grootmyers The Ohio State University April 2021 1 ABSTRACT Fungi are a large and diverse group of eukaryotic organisms that play important roles in nutrient cycling in ecosystems worldwide. Fungi are poorly documented compared to plants in Ohio despite 197 years of collecting activity, and an attempt to compile all the species of fungi known from Ohio has not been completed since 1894. This paper compiles the species of fungi currently known from Ohio based on vouchered fungal collections available in digitized form at the Mycology Collections Portal (MyCoPortal) and other online collections databases and new collections by the author. All groups of fungi are treated, including lichens and microfungi. 69,795 total records of Ohio fungi were processed, resulting in a list of 4,865 total species-level taxa. 250 of these taxa are newly reported from Ohio in this work. 229 of the taxa known from Ohio are species that were originally described from Ohio. A number of potentially novel fungal species were discovered over the course of this study and will be described in future publications. The insights gained from this work will be useful in facilitating future research on Ohio fungi, developing more comprehensive and modern guides to Ohio fungi, and beginning to investigate the possibility of fungal conservation in Ohio. INTRODUCTION Fungi are a large and very diverse group of organisms that play a variety of vital roles in natural and agricultural ecosystems: as decomposers (Lindahl, Taylor and Finlay 2002), mycorrhizal partners of plant species (Van Der Heijden et al.
