They are just some of the neatest things; except when I’m forced to play host. Parasites come in all sorts of shapes and sizes and it is thought that Ievery species on earth has a parasite of some sort. Animals have parasites, plants have parasites, and fungi too have parasites. I can talk about parasites all day (yes, that parasitology class in college right before lunch three times a week left quite the impression), but I will focus on just one this time. Mycoparasites are fungi that parasitize other fungi and they commonly occur in the mushroom world. Typically the more colorful or pronounced ones get more noticed. Examples of col- orful parasites would be Hypomyces chrysosporium, a common parasite on boletes on the west coast with golden Nhu Nguyen spores.

ISSN (online) 2154-8889 MYCOTAXON http://dx.doi.org/10.5248/126.133 Volume 126, pp. 133–141 October–December 2013 Lepiota brunneoincarnata and L. subincarnata: distribution and phylogeny A. Razaq1*, E.C. Vellinga2, S. Ilyas1 & A.N. Khalid1 1Department of Botany, University of the Punjab, Lahore. 54590, Pakistan 2Department of Plant and Microbial Biology, University of California Berkeley California USA *Correspondence to: [email protected] Abstract — An updated phylogeny of the clade of toxic Lepiota species is presented, and new insights in the distribution of L. brunneoincarnata and L. subincarnata are given. Lepiota brunneoincarnata is widespread in Europe and temperate Asia, and L. subincarnata is now known from Asia, Europe, and North America. Morphological and anatomical descriptions are provided for these two species based on material from the western Himalayan forests in Pakistan, where they are reported for the first time. Keywords — amatoxins, lepiotaceous fungi, mushroom diversity, rDNA Introduction Among lepiotaceous fungi the genus Lepiota (Pers.) Gray (Agaricales, Basidiomycota) has a worldwide distribution and is highly diversified (Bon 1993; Ahmad et al. 1997; Vellinga 2003; Kirk et al. 2008; Razaq et al. 2012; Nawaz et al. 2013). The genus is characterized by having a scaly (rarely smooth) pileus, free lamellae, partial veil in the form of annulus, a universal veil, smooth white dextrinoid spores (in most species), and clamp connections (present in all but one or two species) (Vellinga 2001, Kumar & Manimohan 2009). The nature of the pileus covering elements and the spore shape are very important characters for infrageneric classification (Candusso & Lanzoni 1990; Bon 1993; Vellinga 2001, 2003).

  • Elias Fries – En Produktiv Vetenskapsman Redan Som Tonåring Började Fries Att Skriva Uppsatser Om Naturen
    Elias Fries – en produktiv vetenskapsman Redan som tonåring började Fries att skriva uppsatser om naturen. År 1811, då han fyllt 17 år, fick han sina första alster publi- cerade. Samma år påbörjade han universitetsstudier i Lund och tre år senare var han klar med sin magisterexamen. Därefter Elias Fries – ein produktiver Wissenschaftler följde inte mindre än 64 aktiva år som mykolog, botanist, filosof, lärare, riksdagsman och akademiledamot. Han var oerhört produktiv och författade inte bara stora och betydande böcker i mykologi och botanik utan också hundratals mindre artiklar och uppsatser. Dessutom ledde han ett omfattande arbete med att avbilda svampar.

Burdsall, Jr. Synopsis Fungorum 8 Fungiflora - Oslo - Norway 6 Authors address: Center for Forest Mycology Research Forest Products Laboratory United States Department of Agriculture Forest Service One Gifford Pinchot Dr. Madison, WI 53705 USA ABSTRACT Once a taxonomic refugium for nearly any white-spored agaric with an annulus and attached gills, the concept of the genus Armillaria has been clarified with the neotypification of Armillaria mellea (Vahl:Fr.) Kummer and its acceptance as type species of Armillaria (Fr.:Fr.) Staude. Due to recognition of different type species over the years and an extremely variable generic concept, at least 274 species and varieties have been placed in Armillaria (or in Armillariella Karst., its obligate synonym). Only about forty species belong in the genus Armillaria sensu stricto, while the rest can be placed in forty-three other modem genera. This study is based on original descriptions in the literature, as well as studies of type specimens and generic and species concepts by other authors. This publication consists of an alphabetical listing of all epithets used in Armillaria or Armillariella, with their basionyms, currently accepted names, and other obligate and facultative synonyms.

  • Amanita Muscaria (Fly Agaric)
    J R Coll Physicians Edinb 2018; 48: 85–91 | doi: 10.4997/JRCPE.2018.119 PAPER Amanita muscaria (fly agaric): from a shamanistic hallucinogen to the search for acetylcholine HistoryMR Lee1, E Dukan2, I Milne3 & Humanities The mushroom Amanita muscaria (fly agaric) is widely distributed Correspondence to: throughout continental Europe and the UK. Its common name suggests MR Lee Abstract that it had been used to kill flies, until superseded by arsenic. The bioactive 112 Polwarth Terrace compounds occurring in the mushroom remained a mystery for long Merchiston periods of time, but eventually four hallucinogens were isolated from the Edinburgh EH11 1NN fungus: muscarine, muscimol, muscazone and ibotenic acid. UK The shamans of Eastern Siberia used the mushroom as an inebriant and a hallucinogen. In 1912, Henry Dale suggested that muscarine (or a closely related substance) was the transmitter at the parasympathetic nerve endings, where it would produce lacrimation, salivation, sweating, bronchoconstriction and increased intestinal motility. He and Otto Loewi eventually isolated the transmitter and showed that it was not muscarine but acetylcholine. The receptor is now known variously as cholinergic or muscarinic. From this basic knowledge, drugs such as pilocarpine (cholinergic) and ipratropium (anticholinergic) have been shown to be of value in glaucoma and diseases of the lungs, respectively. Keywords acetylcholine, atropine, choline, Dale, hyoscine, ipratropium, Loewi, muscarine, pilocarpine, physostigmine Declaration of interests No conflicts of interest declared Introduction recorded by the Swedish-American ethnologist Waldemar Jochelson, who lived with the tribes in the early part of the Amanita muscaria is probably the most easily recognised 20th century.
