However, there is a growing concern Competing interests: The authors have declared that the ongoing and future global warming will change the C cycling in these ecosystems, that no competing interests exist. making peatlands return the previously captured C to the atmosphere via releasing CO2 and/ or CH4, which would possibly accelerate the pace of global warming [7±10]. Many studies have shown that fungi play a crucial role in the soil ecosystem [11±13]. For example, mycorrhizal fungi contribute to the growth of plants by providing root-available nitrogen and phosphorus [14]. During the initial stage of plant litter decay, saprophagous fungi are more important than bacteria in the degradation of fresh litter into less labile organic matter [15]. The fungal communities, activities, and effects in the peatlands of America, Europe, and Canada have been studied well. Lin et al. [16] found that dominant fungal taxa at bog and fen sites in the peatlands of northwestern Minnesota were Ascomycota, Basidiomy- cota, and Zygomycota, and the ammonia, dissolved organic carbon (DOC), and dissolved organic nitrogen (DON) concentrations were more important than pH in structuring fungal community structure. The same dominant fungal taxa were detected in the ombrotrophic peatlands of northern England by Liu et al. [17]. They determined that fungal community composition was significantly affected by organic matter (OM), moisture, phosphorus, and ammonium. Sun et al. [18] reported that Ascomycota and Basidiomycota were the majority groups in the boreal peatlands in Finland, and the dominant tree species and the availability of certain nutrients (Ca, P, and Fe) had a strong effect on the composition of fungal communities. Myers et al. [19] stated that fungal activity became increasingly important and was negatively correlated with pH and total peat Mg concentrations in ombrotrophic peatlands located in southern Canada. Soil age and the C accumulation rate were reportedly to be important factors of fungal community structure in other ecosystems. Several studies found that fungal commu- nities shifted significantly across chronosequences in a forest ecosystem [20±22]. Zhang et al. [23] found that C accumulation promoted macroaggregates formation and reduced the effec- tive diffusion coefficient of oxygen; thus, they identified changes in microhabitats and a shift in microbial community when they investigated the linkage between organic C accumulation and microbial community dynamics in a sandy loam soil. However, there are few studies on the fungal community in the Sanjiang Plain, leading to the lack of a high-quality curated database for taxonomic assignment. The Sanjiang Plain, located in the temperate climate region, is the largest area of freshwater marshlands in China [24]. These peatlands could be more vulnerable to global warming because they are primarily located at the southern boundary of northern peatlands [1]. Thus, it is imperative that we deepen our understanding of the microorganisms, particularly fungi, in this ecosystem. In this study, high-throughput Illumina sequencing of ITS rRNA genes was used to study the fungal communities in the Sanjiang Plain at the southern edge of northern peatlands. Peat soils were collected from three fens which began development at different time periods. The greater sequencing detail achieved by the high-throughput sequencing allowed the capture of the less abundant and uncultured taxa, thus enabing a more thorough characterization of peatland fungal diversity. The chronological sampling approach further facilitated the analysis of poten- tial linkages of fungal communities with soil age as well as the C accumulation rate. Materials and methods Study area and sampling description Peat cores were sampled from three different minerotrophic fens Shenjiadian (S), Honghe (H), and Qindelie (Q) in the Sanjiang Plain (129Ê110-135Ê050 E, 43Ê490-48Ê270 N), China PLOS ONE | https://doi.org/10.1371/journal.pone.0187575 December 13, 2017 2 / 16 Fungal communities in ancient peatlands Fig 1.

No specific permits were required for our field studies and our work did not involve endangered or protected species. The three fens started to develop during different time peri- ods during the Holocene [25]. Over 70% of this region is dominated by fresh water wetlands developing in ancient riverbeds and waterlogged depressions, and approximately 30% (or nearly 3.3 × 104 ha) of this region is covered by peatlands, which developed under certain topo- graphic conditions during or before the Holocene [26]. The study area has a temperate humid to sub-humid continental monsoon climate. The mean annual temperature ranges from 1.4ÊC to 4.3ÊC, with an average maximum of 22ÊC in July and an average minimum of -18ÊC in Jan- uary. The mean annual precipitation is 500±650 mm, and 80% of rainfall occurs between May and September [27].

Mycosphere 10(1), 310–489, Doi 10.5943/mycosphere/10/1/7 Abstract Leotiomycetes is regarded as the inoperculate class of discomycetes within the phylum Ascomycota. Taxa are mainly characterized by asci with a simple pore blueing in Melzer’s reagent, although some taxa have lost this character. The monophyly of this class has been verified in several recent molecular studies. However, circumscription of the orders, families and generic level delimitation are still unsettled. This paper provides a modified backbone tree for the class Leotiomycetes based on phylogenetic analysis of combined ITS, LSU, SSU, TEF, and RPB2 loci. In the phylogenetic analysis, Leotiomycetes separates into 19 clades, which can be recognized as orders and order-level clades.

  • A Redisposition of Ascophanus Tityrii Velen
    KEW BULLETIN 58: 749 - 757 (2003) A redisposition of Ascophanus tityrii Velen. S. HUHTINEN1 & B. M. SPOONER2 Summary. A small discomycete growing on dung-inhabiting pyrenomycetes is shown to have been first described by Velenovsky under the name Ascophanustityrii Velen. Its generic placement is discussed and a new combination in UnguiculellaH6hn. is proposed. The species is redescribed based on type and recent material and shown to be widely distributed from Central and Western Europe to Sweden, Greenland and the USA. It shows marked interpopulational variability in hymenial and hair characteristics. Marked variability occurs also between southern material and specimens from Greenland. INTRODUCTION In 'MonographiaDiscomycetum Bohemiae', Velenovsky (1934) described in the genus AscophanusBoud. a species with setose, protruding paraphyses. The sole collection on which the species was based was made from previous year's cow dung. The apothecia were observed to grow on pyrenomycetous fruit-bodies. However, this was not the first time this species had caught the eye of a mycologist: an earlier specimen by H. Crouan & P. Crouan from 1870 bears the unpublished name Peziza parasitica. They found the species growing on 'Sordaria squamulosa' (= Podospora squamulosa (P. Crouan & H. Crouan) Niessl). More recently this species has been noted by few collectors. However, in the late 1950's Prof. Nils Lundqvist became familiar with this curiosity and it is thanks to him that the type of Velenovsky's Ascophanuscan here be linked to present material. Several further collections of this species have come to light in recent years and the total number of known specimens is now twenty. At first, Velenovsky's placement of this tiny, setose species in Ascophanus seems odd.

Catcheside1 Received: 3 March 2019 /Revised: 1 May 2019 /Accepted: 7 May 2019 # German Mycological Society and Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature 2019 Abstract A new genus of helotialean fungi, Annabella gen. nov. (Cordieritidaceae), is described to accommodate Annabella australiensis sp. nov. This species was collected on attached decaying wood of Avicennia marina, a common mangrove species found in protected waters of southern Australia. Annabella is distinctive among Cordieritidaceae in having relatively small perithecioid hyaline to yellowish apothecia and by the absence of an ionomidotic reaction. The apothecial shape and size of Annabella is most similar to Skyttea. The molecular phylogenetic analysis of a concatenated dataset of three ribosomal nuclear loci confirms the placement of Annabella within Cordieritidaceae, as a sister clade to Skyttea.

New species and new records of American lichenicolous fungi. – Herzogia 16: 41–90. A total of 153 species of lichenicolous fungi are reported from America. Five species are described as new: Abrothallus pezizicola (on Cladonia peziziformis, USA), Lichenodiplis dendrographae (on Dendrographa, USA), Muellerella lecanactidis (on Lecanactis, USA), Stigmidium pseudopeltideae (on Peltigera, Europe and USA) and Tremella lethariae (on Letharia vulpina, Canada and USA). Six new combinations are proposed: Carbonea aggregantula (= Lecidea aggregantula), Lichenodiplis fallaciosa (= Laeviomyces fallaciosus), L. lecanoricola (= Laeviomyces lecanoricola), L. opegraphae (= Laeviomyces opegraphae), L. pertusariicola (= Spilomium pertusariicola, Laeviomyces pertusariicola) and Phacopsis fusca (= Phacopsis oxyspora var. fusca). The genus Laeviomyces is considered to be a synonym of Lichenodiplis, and a key to all known species of Lichenodiplis and Minutoexcipula is given. The genus Xenonectriella is regarded as monotypic, and all species except the type are provisionally kept in Pronectria. A study of the apothecial pigments does not support the distinction of Nesolechia and Phacopsis.

The discomycete forms very small, blackish- nachgewiesen werden, welche ein fortgeschrittenes brown apothecia on bark, more rarely on wood, but par- Alter zeigten oder bereits abgestorben waren. Die Art ticularly on more or less strongly senescent hymenia bevorzugt ungestörte, normalerweise wärmeliebende of Vuilleminia spp. The apothecia occur on dead, cor- Hecken oder offene Wälder, vorzugsweise in Wald- ticated, internally very slightly to rather strongly white- randnähe, kommt aber manchmal aber auch in dichten, rotten, attached or broken, periodically dry branches at luftfeuchteren Wäldern vor. Der Pilz ist gekennzeichnet a height of about 1–3 m above ground. In most of the durch 64-sporige, länglich-sackförmige, kurz gestielte, collections Vuilleminia was present and covered the inamyloide, ziemlich dünnwandige Asci, die aus Haken bast on one side of the branch, while the periderm still entstehen und sich apikal mittels eines schlitzförmigen covered the remaining areas. D. triangulispora is so far Porus öffnen. Die hyalinen Ascosporen haben in Profil- recorded on angiosperm shrubs of the genera Corylus, ansicht eine deutlich dreieckige Form, während sie in Crataegus, Ilex, Prunus, and Salix, which had an ad- Rückenansicht leicht abgeflacht, (ellipsoid-)rauten- bis vanced age or were already dead.

  • The 8Th IAL Symposium Lichens in Deep Time August 1–5, 2016 Helsinki, Finland IAL8 Abstracts
    The 8th IAL Symposium Lichens in Deep Time August 1–5, 2016 Helsinki, Finland IAL8 Abstracts Welcome Messages, pages 3, 5 Opening Address, page 7 Abstracts of keynote lectures, pages 10–17 Abstracts of oral presentations, pages 21–82 Abstracts of poster presentations, pages 85–199 Welcome Message The President of the International Association of Lichenology Dear Fellow Lichenologist, It is a great pleasure for me to welcome you to IAL8 in Helsinki on behalf of the IAL Council and the Scientific Thorsten Lumbsch Committee of the symposium. IAL President Since the inaugural IAL meeting in Münster in March 1986, our society has had tremendously successful and enjoyable meetings. I still remember the first meeting when, for the first time, I met a number of prestigious colleagues and – as an The 8 undergraduate student – could interact with colleagues in a relaxed atmosphere. These meetings are especially vital for th students and early career scientists where they can interact – Lichens in Deep Time IAL Symposium with colleagues and build networks. Older scientists, like myself, can pass on essential guidance to younger scholars, while at the same time also learn from their new and bright ideas. We are confident that this 8th Symposium in Helsinki will be equally as memorable as the previous ones. Helsinki has a rich history and tradition in lichenological research and we are looking forward to this event, entitled ”Lichens in Deep Time”. Contributions to the symposium will reflect the latest trends in using genomic data to better understand the lichen symbiosis and the evolutionary history of its partners, have a strong part in ecological studies, address the threats imposed by rapid man-made changes occurring to the biosphere and an ever-growing interest in tropical lichens.
