Dentipellis Fragilis and Steccherinum Oreophilum: Finnish Records of Hydnaceous Fungi Karstenia 25: 70-74. 1985 Dentipellis fragilis and Steccherinum oreophilum: Finnish records of hydnaceous fungi TUOMO NIEMELA and REIMA SAARENOKSA NIEMELA, T. & SAARENOKSA, R. 1985: Dentipellis fragilis and Steccherinum oreophilum: Finnish records of hydnaceous fungi. - Karstenia 25: 70-74. Dentipe/lis fragilis (Pers.: Fr.) Dank is reported from four localities in southern Finland. Two earlier Finnish records also exist and a record from the adjacent U.S.S.R. The species is briefly described, and its ecology and general distribution are reviewed. Steccherinum oreophilum Linds. & Gilb. is reported as new to Finland, and its known occurrence in Europe and North America is summarized. Distribution maps are presented and both species are illustrated. The delimitation of the genera lrpex, Steccherinum, Schizopora and Junghuhnia is considered to deserve a thorough revision.

Bioremediation with White-Rot Fungi at Fisherville Mill: Analyses of Gene Expression and Number 6 Fuel Oil Degradation Abstract Extracellular enzymes that white-rot fungi secrete during lignin decay have been proposed as promising agents for oxidizing pollutants. We investigated the abilities of the white-rot fungi Punctularia strigosozonata, Irpex lacteus, Trichaptum biforme, Phlebia radiata, Trametes versicolor, and Pleurotus ostreatus to degrade Number 6 fuel oil in wood sawdust cultures. Our goals are to advise bioremediation efforts at a brownfield redevelopment site on the Blackstone River in Grafton, Massachusetts nda to contribute to the understanding of decay mechanisms in white-rot fungi. All species tested degraded a C10 alkane. When cultivated for 6 months, Irpex lacteus, T. biforme, P. radiata, T. versicolor and P. ostreatus also degraded a C14 alkane and the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon phenanthrene.

China * Correspondence to: [email protected] Abstract—Three wood-decaying fungi, Ceriporiopsis lagerheimii, Sebipora aquosa, and Tyromyces xuchilensis, are newly recorded in China. The identifications were based on morphological and molecular evidence. The phylogenetic tree inferred from ITS+nLSU sequences of 49 species of Polyporales nests C. lagerheimii within the phlebioid clade, S. aquosa within the gelatoporia clade, and T. xuchilensis within the residual polyporoid clade. The three species are described and illustrated based on Chinese material. Key words—Basidiomycota, polypore, taxonomy, white rot fungus Introduction Wood-decaying fungi play a key role in recycling nutrients of forest ecosystems by decomposing cellulose, hemicellulose, and lignin of the plant cell walls (Floudas et al. 2015). Polyporales, a large order in Basidiomycota, includes many important genera of wood-decaying fungi. Recent molecular studies employing multi-gene datasets have helped to provide a phylogenetic overview of Polyporales, in which thirty-four valid families are now recognized (Binder et al. 2013). The diversity of wood-decaying fungi is very high in China because of the large landscape ranging from boreal to tropical zones. More than 1200 species of wood-decaying fungi have been found in China (Dai 2011, 2012), and some a Chang-lin Zhao and Shi-liang Liu contributed equally to this work and share first-author status 30 ..

(Polyporales, Basidiomycota) based on morphological and multigene analyses M.C. Westphalen1,*, M. Rajchenberg2, M. Tomšovský3, A.M. Gugliotta1 Key words Abstract Junghuhnia is a genus of polypores traditionally characterised by a dimitic hyphal system with clamped generative hyphae and presence of encrusted skeletocystidia. However, recent molecular studies revealed that Mycodiversity Junghuhnia is polyphyletic and most of the species cluster with Steccherinum, a morphologically similar genus phylogeny separated only by a hydnoid hymenophore. In the Neotropics, very little is known about the evolutionary relation- Steccherinaceae ships of Junghuhnia s.lat. taxa and very few species have been included in molecular studies. In order to test the taxonomy proper phylogenetic placement of Neotropical species of this group, morphological and molecular analyses were carried out. Specimens were collected in Brazil and used for DNA sequence analyses of the internal transcribed spacer and the large subunit of the nuclear ribosomal RNA gene, the translation elongation factor 1-α gene, and the second largest subunit of RNA polymerase II gene. Herbarium collections, including type specimens, were studied for morphological comparison and to confirm the identity of collections. The molecular data obtained revealed that the studied species are placed in three different genera. Specimens of Junghuhnia carneola represent two distinct species that group in a lineage within the phlebioid clade, separated from Junghuhnia and Steccherinum, which belong to the residual polyporoid clade.

  • 9B Taxonomy to Genus
    Fungus and Lichen Genera in the NEMF Database Taxonomic hierarchy: phyllum > class (-etes) > order (-ales) > family (-ceae) > genus. Total number of genera in the database: 526 Anamorphic fungi (see p. 4), which are disseminated by propagules not formed from cells where meiosis has occurred, are presently not grouped by class, order, etc. Most propagules can be referred to as "conidia," but some are derived from unspecialized vegetative mycelium. A significant number are correlated with fungal states that produce spores derived from cells where meiosis has, or is assumed to have, occurred. These are, where known, members of the ascomycetes or basidiomycetes. However, in many cases, they are still undescribed, unrecognized or poorly known.

Descriptions are given of the two species of Pycnoporellus occurring in Fennoscandia, P. alboluteus (Ell. & Ev.) Kotl. & Pouz. and P. fulgens (Fr.) Donk. Their distributions in North Europe are mapped, and their world distributions reviewed. Their ecology, phenology, host relationships, and cultural and microscopical characters are discussed. Great variability exists in the microscopical characters of both species. P. alboluteus is very rare in North Europe, where it has been recorded from only two localities in northern Finland, on Picea abies and once on Alnus incana. P. fulgens is rare and south-eastern in distribution, being known from four Swedish localities and several localities in southern Finland and the adjacent U.S.S.R., mostly on Picea abies, but also on Pinus sylvestris, Populus tremula and Betula. Study of the types indicates that the names frpex woronowii Bres. and Lenzites sepiaria var. dentifera Peck are synonymous with P. alboluteus, and that Ochroporus lithuanicus BYonski (type selected), Polyporus aurantiacus Peck and P. fibrillosus Karst. are synonymous with P. fulgens.

China * Correspondence to: [email protected] Abstract—A new, white-rot, poroid, wood-inhabiting fungal genus, Rhomboidia, typified by R. wuliangshanensis, is proposed based on morphological and molecular evidence. Collected from subtropical Yunnan Province in southwest China, Rhomboidia is characterized by annual, stipitate basidiomes with rhomboid pileus, a monomitic hyphal system with thick-walled generative hyphae bearing clamp connections, and broadly ellipsoid basidiospores with thin, hyaline, smooth walls. Phylogenetic analyses of ITS and LSU nuclear RNA gene regions showed that Rhomboidia is in Steccherinaceae and formed as distinct, monophyletic lineage within a subclade that includes Nigroporus, Trullella, and Flabellophora. Key words—Polyporales, residual polyporoid clade, taxonomy, wood-rotting fungi Introduction Polyporales Gäum. is one of the most intensively studied groups of fungi with many species of interest to fungal ecologists and applied scientists (Justo & al. 2017). Species of wood-inhabiting fungi in Polyporales are important as saprobes and pathogens in forest ecosystems and in their application in biomedical engineering and biodegradation systems (Dai & al. 2009, Levin & al. 2016). With roughly 1800 described species, Polyporales comprise about 1.5% of all known species of Fungi (Kirk & al.
