  • 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.

  • Revised Taxonomy: New Species Names Or Combinations
    Mycosphere 5 (4): 541–544 (2014) ISSN 2077 7019 www.mycosphere.org Article Mycosphere Copyright © 2014 Online Edition Doi 10.5943/mycosphere/5/4/6 Cortinarius (Agaricales) revised taxonomy: new species names or combinations Gasparini B. Via B. Budrio, 12 = I–34149 TRIESTE (Italy) Correspondence to: [email protected] Gasparini B 2014 – Cortinarius (Agaricales) revised taxonomy: new species names or combinations. Mycosphere 5(4), 541–544, Doi 10.5943/mycosphere/5/4/6 Abstract Thirteen species are transferred to Cortinarius, either as new combinations: C. atratus (≡ Hysterangium atratum), C. cribbiae (≡ Hymenogaster cribbiae), C. canarius (≡ Dermocybe canaria), C. kula (≡ Dermocybe kula), C. musisporus (≡ Quadrispora musispora), C. niphophilus (≡ Protoglossum niphophilum), C. oblongisporus (≡ Hymenogaster oblongisporus), and C. tubercularis (≡ Quadrispora tubercularis); or as replacement names, when the basionym epithet was proccupied: C.olens (=Hymenogaster aromaticus Velen.) C. oleosus (≡ Hysterangium viscidum), C. rubroviolaceus (≡ Hymenogaster purpureum), and C. subviolaceus (≡ Hymenogaster violaceus). The illegitimate Cortinarius mastoideus Gasparini is renamed as C. acutipapillatus. Key words − Dermocybe − Hymenogaster − Quadrispora − synonymy Introduction In the mycological literature it is important for taxa names to be valid, legitimate and of current use. In this respect it is advisable to carry out several combinations. Cortinomyces Bougher & Castellano 1993 was shown to be invalid by May (1995). Hymenogaster is suggested to be polyphyletic (Peintner et al. 2001). It is here taken that H. cribbiae belongs to genus Cortinarius. Hysterangium viscidum Massee & Rodway was later transferred by May (1995) to genus Protoglossum, which is now consider to be a synonym of Cortinarius. Cortinarius mastoideus Gasparini, was illegitimate when published. Dermocybe nests within the genus Cortinarius (Høiland & Holst-Jensen 2000) and therefore it is to be considered a synonym of the latter.

The work will be published in parts at irregular intervals, by the New York Botanical Garden, through the aid of the income of the David Lydig Fund bequeathed by Charles P. Daly. It is planned to issue parts as rapidly as they can be prepared, the extent of the work making it possible to commence publication at any number of points. The completed work will form a series of volumes with the following sequence: Volume 1. Myxomycètes, Schizophyta. Volumes 2 to 10. Fungi. Volumes 11 to 13. Algae. Volumes 14 and 15. Bryophyta. Volume 16. Pteridophyta and Gymnospermae. Volumes 17 to 19. Monocotyledones. Volumes 20 to 34. Dicotylédones. The preparation of the work has been referred by the Scientific Direc- tors of the Garden to a committee consisting of Dr. N. L. Britton, Dr. M. A. Howe, and Dr. J. H. Barnhart. Dr. Frederick V. Coville, of the United States Department of Agri- culture; and Professor William Trelease, of the University of Blinois, have consented to act as an advisory committee.

  • Mushrooms of the National Forests in Alaska
    Mushrooms of the National Forests in Alaska United States Forest Service R10 --RG 209 Department of Alaska Region FEB 2013 Agriculture Introduction The coastal temperate rainforests of the Tongass and Chugach national forests often produce prolific fruitings of mushrooms in late summer and fall. For many Alaskans, mushrooms are a source of food. For others, they are a source of pigments for dyeing wool and other natural fibers. Still others merely enjoy their beauty. However, all Alaskans should appreciate these fungi for, without them, there would be no forests here. This brochure presents an introduction to mushrooms and illustrates a number of the more common and interesting of our local species to help Alaskans and visitors to better understand and enjoy our magnificent national forests. Unlike most plants, birds, and mammals, very few mushrooms have common names. Thus, while we have used common names where they exist, many of the species in this brochure can be referred to only by their scientific names. But, never fear. If you can talk with your kids about Tyrannosaurus rex, you can handle mushroom names! What is a mushroom? Mushrooms are produced by some fungi (singular: fungus), and their primary purpose is to make and spread tiny reproductive propagules called spores, which function much like plant seeds. After long being considered primitive plants, fungi now are accepted as their own kingdom. Unlike plants, fungi cannot make their own food, and their cell walls contain chitin rather than cellulose. Interestingly, chitin also is found in insect exoskeletons, providing evidence that the fungi are more closely related to animals (including us!) than they are to plants.
