We report here the results of an inventory of basidiomycetes, which was undertaken in the region of Nafpactia Mts., central Greece. The investigated area, with woods dominated by C. sativa, was examined for the first time in respect to its mycodiversity. One hundred and four species belonging in 54 genera were recorded. Fifteen species (Conocybe pseudocrispa, Entoloma nitens, Lactarius glaucescens, Lichenomphalia velutina, Parasola schroeteri, Pholiotina coprophila, Russula alutacea, R. azurea, R. pseudoaeruginea, R. pungens, R. vitellina, Sarcodon glaucopus, Tomentella badia, T. fibrosa and Tubulicrinis sororius) are reported for the first time from Greece. In addition, 33 species constitute new habitats/hosts/substrates records. Key words — biodiversity, macromycete, Mediterranean, mushroom Introduction Castanea sativa Mill., Fagaceae (sweet chestnut) generally prefers north- facing slopes where the rainfall is greater than 600 mm, on moderately acid soils (pH 4.5–6.5) with a light texture.

They are Amanita flavoconia var. flavoconia, A. flavoconia var. inquinata, A. pilosella f. pilosella and A. porphyria. A. flavoconia var. flavoconia is distinctive in having a brilliant yellow to yellow orange cap, with white lamellae and a stipe base turning light brownish on injury. Whereas. A. flavoconia var. inquinata possesses brownish orange to yellowish orange to orange yellow, subvicid pileus, having white to pastel yellow stipe, annulus grayish yellow, superior and volva forming broken rings of yellow patches around the bulb. A. pilosella f. pilosella unique in possessing grayish brown or brownish beige pileus having thick irregular warts and white lamellae edges. A. porphyria is represented by nonstriate pileus margin, off white stipe, decorated with grayish squamules, with violaceous tinge and has a marginate bulb, annulus is persistent, off white above and light grey below and volva is friable, as grey, cottony mass at the margin of the bulb.

  • Caloboletus Radicans (Pers.) Vizzini (Boletaceae) В Республике Мордовия
    Общая биология УДК 582.284 (470.345) CALOBOLETUS RADICANS (PERS.) VIZZINI (BOLETACEAE) В РЕСПУБЛИКЕ МОРДОВИЯ © 2018 А.В. Ивойлов Национальный исследовательский Мордовский государственный университет им. Н. П. Огарёва Статья поступила в редакцию 29.10.2018 В статье приводится информация о первой находке в Республике Мордовия болета укореняюще- гося, или беловатого (Caloboletus radicans (Pers.) Vizzini, 2014), в литературе чаще называемого как Boletus radicans (Pers.) Fr. Изложена история описания этого вида, этимология названия, особен- ности экологии, общее распространение на земном шаре и в России. Показано, что данный вид находится в Мордовии на северной границе своего ареала, образует микоризу с дубом (Quercus robur L.), относится к типичным термофильным видам, как правило появляется в годы с сухим и жарким летом или после таковых, достаточно засухоустойчив, так как плодовые тела могут по- являться даже при незначительном количестве осадков. Приведено описание макро- и микро- структур вида, выполненное на основе материала автора. В статье указано местонахождение ма- кромицета, приведены его координаты и даты находок. Размеры найденных плодовых тел были типичными для вида. В связи с тем, что C. radicans относится к редким видам, он включен во второе издание Красной книги Республики Мордовия с категорией 3 (редкий вид), рекомендуется поиск новых его местонахождений, контроль (мониторинг) состояния популяции, просветительская ра- бота по его охране.

(Scutigeraceae) from western North America Serge Audet1* & Brian S. Luther2 11264, Gaillard, Québec, G3J 1J9, Canada 2 PSMS Office, Center for Urban Horticulture, University of Washington, Box 354115, Seattle, Washington 98195, U.S.A. * Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract –Neoalbatrellus subcaeruleoporus is described as a new species. Its systematic position is supported by molecular and morphological analyses, and a key to the three Neoalbatrellus species is provided. A revised key to American and European species of Scutiger sensu lato (Albatrellopsis, Albatrellus, Laeticutis, Neoalbatrellus, Polypus, Polyporoletus, Polyporopsis, Scutiger s.s., Xanthoporus, and Xeroceps) is appended. Keywords –Albatrellaceae, caeruleoporus, correct family, genetic, Russulales Introduction The genus Neoalbatrellus was proposed by Audet (2010) and is distinguished from Albatrellus by the hymeniderm and the blue, black and brown colors of the basidiomata. Two species have been placed in Neoalbatrellus: N. caeruleoporus and N. yasudae (Audet 2010). Their trophic status is poorly understood and specific ectomycorrhizal host trees have not been confirmed, although N. caeruleoporus is often found underTsuga (Gilbertson & Ryvarden 1986). The presence of extracellular laccase has been reported in basidiomata of N. caeruleoporus (Marr et al. 1986). The closest genus to Neoalbatrellus is Albatrellopsis, based on molecular (ITS) and the dimeric meroterpenoid pigment, grifolinone B (Zhou & Liu 2010). The correct family for these genera is Scutigeraceae Bondartsev & Singer ex Singer 1969, a name that has priority over Albatrellaceae Nuss 1980 (Audet 2010: 439).

In the intervening 30 years, new (88.8 %). We hope that this updated checklist will inspire species, new combinations, and new records of polypores future studies in the polypore mycota of North America and were reported from North America. As a result, an updated contribute to the diversity and systematics of polypores checklist of North American polypores is needed to reflect the worldwide. polypore diversity in there. We recognize 492 species of polypores from 146 genera in North America. Of these, 232 Keywords Basidiomycota . Phylogeny . Taxonomy . species are unchanged from Gilbertson and Ryvarden’smono- Wood-decaying fungus graph, and 175 species required name or authority changes.
