  • 1 the SOCIETY LIBRARY CATALOGUE the BMS Council
    THE SOCIETY LIBRARY CATALOGUE The BMS Council agreed, many years ago, to expand the Society's collection of books and develop it into a Library, in order to make it freely available to members. The books were originally housed at the (then) Commonwealth Mycological Institute and from 1990 - 2006 at the Herbarium, then in the Jodrell Laboratory,Royal Botanic Gardens Kew, by invitation of the Keeper. The Library now comprises over 1100 items. Development of the Library has depended largely on the generosity of members. Many offers of books and monographs, particularly important taxonomic works, and gifts of money to purchase items, are gratefully acknowledged. The rules for the loan of books are as follows: Books may be borrowed at the discretion of the Librarian and requests should be made, preferably by post or e-mail and stating whether a BMS member, to: The Librarian, British Mycological Society, Jodrell Laboratory Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond, Surrey TW9 3AB Email: <[email protected]> No more than two volumes may be borrowed at one time, for a period of up to one month, by which time books must be returned or the loan renewed. The borrower will be held liable for the cost of replacement of books that are lost or not returned. BMS Members do not have to pay postage for the outward journey. For the return journey, books must be returned securely packed and postage paid. Non-members may be able to borrow books at the discretion of the Librarian, but all postage costs must be paid by the borrower.

Mycosphere 8(10), 1640–1652, Doi 10.5943/mycosphere/8/10/4 Abstract Agaricus is a genus of macrofungi containing species with highly edible and medicinal values. A mushroom survey was recently carried out in Qilian Mountain National Natural Reserve, in Gansu Province of China, and yielded 21 Agaricus specimens. The morphological examination and phylogenetic analysis based on four-gene sequences from those specimens were conducted. The result shows they belong to four species in A. section Bivelares: A. sinotetrasporus sp. nov. and A. qilianensis sp. nov. are new species for science; A. devoniensis is a new record from China; and the famous button mushroom, A. bisporus is found in the wild. All of them are described and illustrated in details. A brief comparison with similar taxa or previous records are addressed too.

In the forest, rings with different but larger mushrooms grew providing a rest stop for larger fairies who, being bolder, were not afraid of the forest. The fairy rings are rated by some as choice edibles, so one of the most efficient ways of getting rid of them is to eat them! But make sure that what you have is a true “fairy ring mushroom” (for details, see below). The many “little brown mushrooms”—LBMs—that grow on lawns should be avoided.

Miguel Stefano,3687, Água Funda, CEP: 04301-012, São Paulo, São Paulo, Brazil. *Corresponding authors M.P.Drewinski: [email protected] M.A. Neves: [email protected] Abstract Agaricus is a monophyletic genus with a worldwide distribution and more than 400 described species. The genus grows on soil and can be easily recognized by the presence of an annulus on the stipe and free lamellae which become dark brown with spore maturation. Although Agaricus is easily recognized in the field because of its macroscopic characters, identifica- tion at the species level is difficult. Based on specimens collected in the states of Paraná and Santa Catarina, in the south of Brazil, we propose a new species Agaricus globocystidiatus. The new taxon is distinguished mainly by the presence of pleurocystidia, a rare morphological character in Agaricus.

Mycosphere 9(2), 189–201, Doi 10.5943/mycosphere/9/2/3 Abstract Agaricus subgenus Minores section Minores has the richest species in the genus Agaricus and worldwide distribution. In this paper, the phylogenetic trees generated by Maximum Likelihood and Bayesian analyses for section Minores were conducted using ITS, LSU and tef1-α genes sequences from 105 species. The molecular phylogenetic analysis showed there were three new lineages from Chinese specimens within this section, and the following morphological examination supported them as three new species. We named them as A. parvibrunneus, A. pseudominipurpureus and A. yanzhiensis respectively. Descriptions, colour photographs and illustrations of those new species are presented in detail.

In the same period, studies on tropical Agaricus revealed tropical clades that remained unclassified. A new taxonomic system of classification was developed, with the aim, inter alia, to integrate such tropical clades. A recent phylogenetic study, which included some samples from the Dominican Republic, revealed they belonged to three putative new sections.

Genera in the family Agaricaceae: evidence from nrITS and nrLSU sequences Else C. VELLINGA Department of Plant and Microbial Biology, University of California at Berkeley, 111 Koshland Hall no. 3102, Berkeley, CA 94720-3102, USA. E-mail : [email protected] Received 25 August 2003; accepted 25 January 2004. The circumscription of the family Agaricaceae, its genera and their characters are investigated. Analyses of the ITS and LSU sequence data, separately and in combination result in exclusions and reorganization. Notholepiota areolata, a secotioid species from New Zealand, Cystoagaricus with brown, irregular-knobby spores, and Leucopholiota with gelatinized hymenophoral trama and amyloid spores, fall outside the family Agaricaceae. In the reorganization, long accepted tribe and genus definitions are amended, viz.: (1) Macrolepiota and Chlorophyllum separately are monophyletic, but not together; (2) Leucoagaricus and Leucocoprinus together form one large monophyletic clade, that also includes polyphyletic Sericeomyces; (3) Lepiota, Cystolepiota and Melanophyllum together form a monophyletic clade; (4) Secotiation has happened within several clades (e.g. Agaricus and Chlorophyllum), though not in the Leucoagaricus/ Leucocoprinus clade, nor in the lineage of Macrolepiota proper; gasteroid and most secotioid species in the course of adaptation acquire coloured spores; and (5) the monovelangiocarpic

  • (Geastrum, Geastraceae, Basidiomycota): Phenoloxidases and Rhizomorph Crystals
    Phytotaxa 132 (1): 1–20 (2013) ISSN 1179-3155 (print edition) www.mapress.com/phytotaxa/ Article PHYTOTAXA Copyright © 2013 Magnolia Press ISSN 1179-3163 (online edition) http://dx.doi.org/10.11646/phytotaxa.132.1.1 New sources of taxonomic information for earthstars (Geastrum, Geastraceae, Basidiomycota): phenoloxidases and rhizomorph crystals JUAN CARLOS ZAMORA1*, FRANCISCO D. CALONGE1 & MARÍA P. MARTÍN1 1Real Jardín Botánico-CSIC. Pza. de Murillo 2. E-28014, Madrid, Spain. *Corresponding author: [email protected] Abstract The taxonomic utility of two characters not previously used for identification of Geastrum species is evaluated. First, macrochemical spot tests with chemicals detecting phenoloxidase enzymatic activity (1-naphthol, guaiac gum, and syringaldazine), are performed. In addition, the usefulness of the crystalline deposits from the rhizomorphs, formed by calcium oxalate as monohydrate or whewellite, and dihydrate or weddellite, was evaluated. These features provide valuable data to distinguish some taxa difficult to separate using traditional morphology, such as G. lageniforme, G. saccatum, and G. triplex. Introduction Geastrum Persoon (1974: 85) : Persoon (1801: 131) is a genus of gasteroid Basidiomycota, widely known as earthstars due to the star-like shape of the mature fruitbodies (Sunhede 1989). The genus is world-wide distributed (Ponce de León 1968) and, according to Kirk et al. (2008), it consists of roughly 50 species. The taxonomy of the earthstars, as in many other macrofungi, has been traditionally based on morphological features of the basidiomata (Sunhede 1989). Traits such as the peristome type (fibrillose or sulcate), its delimitation in respect to the rest of the endoperidial body, the presence or absence of a stalk connecting the endoperidium and the exoperidium, the hygrometric behaviour of the exoperidial rays, and the structure of the mycelial layer, are the characters most frequently used for species identification and infrageneric subdivisions (Staněk 1958, Ponce de León 1968, Sunhede 1989, Calonge 1998).
