Annotated Checklist of the Macrofungi Observed at the Gordon Natural Area (West Chester University, PA) - Version I Description This checklist was compiled from Gordon Natural Area (GNA) Staff fieldwork in 2017-2018, augmented by photos from former GNA Stewardship Manager Gerry Hertel, GNA Interns, students and visitors from 2007 to present and by the 17 'identified species' (i.e., not counting 'morphospecies', e.g., 'Unknown Shelf Fungus') in Levy et al. 2008. The checklist contains 268 species in 178 Genera and 92 Families. Species are organized in three 'groupings': Slime Molds (19 species); Ascomycetes (52 species); and, Basidiomycetes ( 196 species). Although slime molds aren't properly 'fungi', they are closely related to fungi and are often included in mycological studies. Hence, we have chosen to include them here. One the other hand, we've chosen not to include lichens (which are included in Kingdom Fungi), because they were beyond the scope of this study. 'Monthly Presence' Data were taken from four sources: 1) fieldwork in the GNA; 2) the mycological literature; 3) field trip data from the Western Pennsylvania Mushroom Club (www.wpamushroomclub.org); and, 4) observations in iNaturalist (www.inaturalist.org). Species missing monthly data for the GNA are those that were identified from undated photographs or from species that were reported in Levy et al. (2008) but which haven't been observed since. 'Ecological Niche' Coprophilous: growing on dung; Mycorrhizal: growing in association with plant roots; Saprobic: decomposer of organic matter; Mycoparasitic: parasitic on other fungi or slime molds; Entomopathogenic: parasitic on insects; Parasitic: living on, or taking its nourishment from another organism (other than fungi, slime molds, or insects). Modifiers: '?': The species possibly makes use of this niche. '±': At times the species makes use of this niche. 'Associated Plants' GNA data are from field observations from 2017 to present. 'Literature' data were primarily taken from the USDA National Fungus Collection's Fungus- Host database (https://nt.ars-grin.gov/fungaldatabases/fungushost/fungushost.cfm), supplemented by a small number of observations from the literature. Species in red are non-native to Pennsylvania. Key: Years*: Years in which the species was noted in the GNA.

De ellas, G. lobatum y G. oerstedii son nuevos registros para Sonora, mientras que G. sessile y G. weberianum para México. El género tiene una amplia distribución en Sonora, en donde se encuentra en bosque de encino, encino-pino, pino-encino, encino abierto e incluso en zonas xeróflas con mezquital. Ganoderma oerstedii se encontró en la base de Stenocereus thurberi, que lo hace el primer registro sobre una cactácea. Palabras clave: corología, hongos poliporoides, sierra Sonorense, taxonomía.

  • Basidiomycota: Agaricales) Introducing the Ant-Associated Genus Myrmecopterula Gen
    Leal-Dutra et al. IMA Fungus (2020) 11:2 https://doi.org/10.1186/s43008-019-0022-6 IMA Fungus RESEARCH Open Access Reclassification of Pterulaceae Corner (Basidiomycota: Agaricales) introducing the ant-associated genus Myrmecopterula gen. nov., Phaeopterula Henn. and the corticioid Radulomycetaceae fam. nov. Caio A. Leal-Dutra1,5, Gareth W. Griffith1* , Maria Alice Neves2, David J. McLaughlin3, Esther G. McLaughlin3, Lina A. Clasen1 and Bryn T. M. Dentinger4 Abstract Pterulaceae was formally proposed to group six coralloid and dimitic genera: Actiniceps (=Dimorphocystis), Allantula, Deflexula, Parapterulicium, Pterula, and Pterulicium. Recent molecular studies have shown that some of the characters currently used in Pterulaceae do not distinguish the genera. Actiniceps and Parapterulicium have been removed, and a few other resupinate genera were added to the family. However, none of these studies intended to investigate the relationship between Pterulaceae genera. In this study, we generated 278 sequences from both newly collected and fungarium samples. Phylogenetic analyses supported with morphological data allowed a reclassification of Pterulaceae where we propose the introduction of Myrmecopterula gen. nov. and Radulomycetaceae fam. nov., the reintroduction of Phaeopterula, the synonymisation of Deflexula in Pterulicium, and 53 new combinations. Pterula is rendered polyphyletic requiring a reclassification; thus, it is split into Pterula, Myrmecopterula gen. nov., Pterulicium and Phaeopterula. Deflexula is recovered as paraphyletic alongside several Pterula species and Pterulicium, and is sunk into the latter genus. Phaeopterula is reintroduced to accommodate species with darker basidiomes. The neotropical Myrmecopterula gen. nov. forms a distinct clade adjacent to Pterula, and most members of this clade are associated with active or inactive attine ant nests.

  • What Did They Sound Like?
    Háskóli Íslands Hugvísindasvið Íslensk miðaldafræði What did they sound like? Reconstructing the music of the Viking Age Ritgerð til MA-prófs í íslenskum miðaldafræðum Chihiro Tsukamoto Kt.: 250493-3209 Leiðbeinandi: Þórir Jónsson Hraundal Janúar 2017 Abstract There has been much scholarship over the years regarding Scandinavian culture during the Viking Age (c. 793–1066 CE). However, often missing from these discussions is the study of music. This paper attempts to fill that gap by offering a reconstruction of Viking Age Scandinavian music. Archaeological evidence, literary records, and medieval music theories were used as the basis of this study. Archaeology indicates that Scandinavians played wind, string, and percussion instruments, while later Old Norse literary accounts detail the many circumstances wherein music was performed, and suggest the likely existence of different musical genres. I have consulted Arabic, Greek, and Latin accounts for contemporary sources, as the Scandinavian people did not have a written culture during this time. Marking a departure from typical historical analyses, I have also conducted a cross- cultural comparison of medieval Arabic, Greek, and Western European music theories in order to recognize what Scandinavian music could not have resembled. By combining archaeological, literary, and musical evidence, it is possible to propose a highly educated hypothesis on how Viking Age Scandinavian music may have sounded.

Ganoderma mushroom is one of the most prescribed traditional medicines and has been used for centuries, particularly in China, Japan, Korea, and other Asian countries. In this study, different strains of Ganoderma spp and the genetic relationships of the closely related strains were identified and investigated based on the V4-V6 region of mitochondrial small subunit ribosomal DNA of the Ganoderma species. The sizes of the mitochondrial ribosomal DNA regions from different Ganoderma species showed 2 types of sequences, 2.0 or 0.5 kb. A phylogenetic tree was constructed, which revealed a high level of genetic diversity in Ganoderma species. Ganoderma lucidum G05 and G. eupense G09 strains were clustered into a G. resinaceum group. Ganoderma spp G29 and G22 strains were clustered into a G. lucidum group.

A full description with illustrations of the macro- and micromorphological characters, as well as its phylogenetic position is provided. This species differs from Coprinellus aureogranulatus by the large pleurocystidia, the narrower spores and multidigitate caulocystidia. Some species from sect. Domestici are discussed and compared. Keywords Agaricales, Psathyrellaceae, Aureogranulati, morphology, taxonomy Introduction Following a recent clearing of a small area in Buskett (Siggiewi, Malta) several large dead branches of Ceratonia siliqua L. were torn down to smaller pieces and dispersed above the soil together with other dead branches from Quercus ilex L. The sudden abundance, on the soil, of degraded lignicolous material coupled with abundant rain in the early weeks of October 2020 has resulted in a number of fast growing coprinii appearing over a few days towards the end of October. The list of lignicolous fungi noted in the area were both previously encountered as well as new records for the area and include Parasola conopilea (Fr.) Örstadius & E. Larss., Coprinopsis melanthina (Fr.) Örstadius & E.
