Amylosporus Succulentus (Russulales, Basidiomycota): First Record from Pakistan

Nova Hedwigia, Vol. 113 (2021), Issue 1-2, 139–149 Article CStuttgart, August 2021 Amylosporus succulentus (Russulales, Basidiomycota): first record from Pakistan Fauzia Aqdus1*, Abdul Nasir Khalid1 1 Department of Botany, University of the Punjab, Quaid-e-Azam Campus-54590, Lahore, Pakistan * Corresponding author: [email protected] With 4 figures and 1 table Abstract: Amylosporus succulentus is described as a new record from Sheikhupura, Punjab, Paki- stan, on morphological characters and molecular evidence using ITS marker. The basidiomata of our collection showed similar characters with the type specimen except the size of the basidiomata, which are larger (17 cm long) than type (7 cm long). In the phylogenetic perspective, A. succulentus nests within the /campbellii clade and grouped with A. succulentus. Key words: Molecular phylogeny; South Asia; polypore; taxonomy Introduction Amylosporus Ryvarden, is a genus described by Ryvarden (1973), typified by A. graminicola (Murrill) Ryvarden [= A. campbellii (Berk.) Ryvarden fide Ryvarden & Johansen (1980)], was introduced for polypore specimens with an annual growth habit, poroid basidiomata, a dimitic hyphal system with generative hyphae presenting both simple and multi-clamped septa (Ryvarden 1973), hymenial hyphae without clamp connections, and finely asperulate and amyloid basidiospores (David & Rajchenberg 1985, David & Raj- chenberg 1987, Hattori 2008, Chen & Shen 2014, Chen et al. 2016, Campi et al. 2017). The phylogenetic position of the genus in the family Wrightoporiaceae, with a sister clade Wrightoporia Pouzar, has been confirmed using the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and nuclear large subunit ribosomal DNA (nLSU) sequence analyses (Chen et al. 2016). Eleven species of this genus have been recorded; namely Amylosporus auxiliadorae Drechsler-Santos & Ryvarden, A. bracei (Murrill) David & Rajchenb., A. campbellii (Berk.) Ryvarden (=A. graminicola (Murrill) Ryvarden=Tyromyces graminicola Murrill), A. casuarinicola (Dai & Cui) Dai, Chen & Cui, A. daedaliformis Zheng & Bi, A. efibula- tus (Lindblad & Ryvarden) Dai, Chen & Cui, A. guaraniticus Campi & Robledo, A. rubel- © 2021 J.

A Preliminary Checklist of Arizona Macrofungi
A PRELIMINARY CHECKLIST OF ARIZONA MACROFUNGI Scott T. Bates School of Life Sciences Arizona State University PO Box 874601 Tempe, AZ 85287-4601 ABSTRACT A checklist of 1290 species of nonlichenized ascomycetaceous, basidiomycetaceous, and zygomycetaceous macrofungi is presented for the state of Arizona. The checklist was compiled from records of Arizona fungi in scientific publications or herbarium databases. Additional records were obtained from a physical search of herbarium specimens in the University of Arizona’s Robert L. Gilbertson Mycological Herbarium and of the author’s personal herbarium. This publication represents the first comprehensive checklist of macrofungi for Arizona. In all probability, the checklist is far from complete as new species await discovery and some of the species listed are in need of taxonomic revision. The data presented here serve as a baseline for future studies related to fungal biodiversity in Arizona and can contribute to state or national inventories of biota. INTRODUCTION Arizona is a state noted for the diversity of its biotic communities (Brown 1994). Boreal forests found at high altitudes, the ‘Sky Islands’ prevalent in the southern parts of the state, and ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa P.& C. Lawson) forests that are widespread in Arizona, all provide rich habitats that sustain numerous species of macrofungi. Even xeric biomes, such as desertscrub and semidesert- grasslands, support a unique mycota, which include rare species such as Itajahya galericulata A. Møller (Long & Stouffer 1943b, Fig. 2c). Although checklists for some groups of fungi present in the state have been published previously (e.g., Gilbertson & Budington 1970, Gilbertson et al. 1974, Gilbertson & Bigelow 1998, Fogel & States 2002), this checklist represents the first comprehensive listing of all macrofungi in the kingdom Eumycota (Fungi) that are known from Arizona.

Mycosphere 6(1), 8–12, Doi 10.5943/mycosphere/6/1/2 Abstract Records of fungi from Burma are updated to align with their current taxonomic nomenclature and classification. The update has generated a classified list of 58 contemporary species assigned to 27 families in 14 orders and 7 classes. This analysis aims at fungal taxa reported in world literature on Burma with a view to annotating and adding them to the local inventory for further enrichment and refinement. Key words – aloewood – amber – biodiversity – Myanmar – systematics – truffle Introduction Fungi have been living in Burma in freedom since some 100 million years ago when a few of them had the misfortune of being entombed alive in Early Cretaceous Burmese amber (Poinar & Buckley 2007). Their ancestors watched in silence as the dinosaurs roared, roamed, and ruled the earth. While some still remain entrapped in amber outside the plant (Poinar et al. 2014), others entered the wood and remained embedded to help generate rich fragrance for the world (Kurz 1877). At the other end of the spectrum, there lies hidden close to the roots, as little eggs or balls, a local truffle (Kaing-U or Kaing-Oo) in association with tall elephant grass (Pennistum purpureum Roem.

Identification of Tanzanian Saprophytic Edible Mushrooms by Amplification and Sequencing of Its/Lsu Regions of Ribosomal Rna Operon
IDENTIFICATION OF TANZANIAN SAPROPHYTIC EDIBLE MUSHROOMS BY AMPLIFICATION AND SEQUENCING OF ITS/LSU REGIONS OF RIBOSOMAL RNA OPERON Ibrahim Juma1, Anthony Manoni Mshandete2, Donatha Damiani Tibuhwa3* and Amelia Kajumulo Kivaisi4 Department of Molecular Biology and Biotechnology, College of Natural and Applied Sciences, Uvumbuzi Road, University of Dar es Salaam, P.O. Box 35179, Dar es Salaam, Tanzania. [email protected] ABSTRACT In this study, ten wild saprophytic edible mushrooms samples, collected from Tanzania natural forests and planted trees, and their two domesticated forms were characterized by in-vitro/in-vivo amplification and sequencing of ITS/LSU regions. Mushroom genomic DNA was extracted by ZR Fungal/Bacterial DNA MniPrep Kit. ITS and LSU regions were amplified using ITS-4/ITS-5 and LR16/LROR primers, respectively and sequenced. The amplicons with messy sequences were cloned. For analyzing recombinant E. coli DH5α cells, colony PCR and sequencing were done using M13-F/M13-R primers. The studied mushrooms were identified as Amylosporus sp. IJ-2014, Polyporales sp., Polyporus tenuiculus, Pleurotus cystidiosus, Laetiporus sp. IJ-2014, Lentinus sajor-caju, Favolus roseus and Auricularia polytricha. The ITS-based phylogeny inferred by Neighbor-Joining method accommodated six genera under bootstrap support values of 100% with each genus consisting mushrooms of a single species. The LSU-based phylogeny inferred by Maximum Likelihood method accommodated nine genera with bootstrap support of ≥ 66% with some genera consisting mushrooms of different species. From these results, it is clear that both ITS and LSU markers successfully discriminated wild saprophytic edible mushrooms to their respective genera but ITS marker demonstrated the higher resolving power at the species level than LSU marker.

Box 1045, Blindern, N-0316 OSLO, Norway *Correspondence to: [email protected] Abstract — Fifteen new records of polypore species are reported from the southern Florida, USA, with short comments to their key features, ecology, and distribution. The combination Fomitiporia apiahyna is proposed. Key words — Basidiomycota, Hymenochaetaceae, Polyporaceae, taxonomy, invasive species Introduction The southernmost part of Florida south of Tamiami Trail (U.S. 41, which bisects Miami) lies in the tropical hardwood forest region of the state (Young & Giese 2003). This relatively small area contributes substantially to poroid xylophilous fungi diversity in the USA, and about 15% of USA polypore species published in a compendium by Gilbertson & Ryvarden (1986, 1987) probably are found only here. Although Ryvarden (2004) and Decock et al. (2007) published new data on southern Florida Ganodermataceae and Hymenochaetaceae, to our knowledge no new records have been added for the Polyporaceae since 1987. Most of the territory belongs to Everglades National Park and is covered with regularly ﬂooded wetland or with extensive mangrove stands along the coast.
