Rossman, MSA Treasurer, is pleased to announce that the MSA funds are now fully available for MSA purposes. She wants to personally thank all those members who generously paid their 1987 dues in advance in order to help us through this difficult financial period. (In return, we, the membership, thank Amy for her perseverence and capable handling of this probl em--ed. ) PLANNING A PRE- OR POST-MSA MEETING VISIT TO THE FARLOW? The staff at the Farlow Library and Herbarium welcome visitors before and after the MSA Meeting in Amherst. We ask that advanced notice be given so that we can properly care for requests to use the collections. HELP WANTED REVISION OF THE INDEX OF PLANT DISEASES IN THE UNITED STATES.--The U.S.D.A. would like to enlist the aid and support of systematic mycologists in revising the Index of Plant Diseases in the United States (Agricultural Handbook No. 165). As in the previous editions, the first part of the Index will list the plants of the United States with their associated fungal pathogens. The second part of the revised Index will list fungi occurring in the United States that cause plant disease or deterioration of plant products (See Bills, Chamuris, & Farr. Abstracts for 1986 MSA Annual Meeting). For each fungus, the currently accepted ndme and author citation will be provided. Each name will be followed by a list of common synonyms, a statement of geographic distribution, and relevant comments regarding nomenclature, taxonomy, and/or pathogenicity. We view this Index as an opportunity to provide a wide array of users (e.g., plant pathologists, extension agents, horticultural ists, etc.) with a comprehensive source for fungal nomenclature, taxonomy, and distributional data. We ask members of the mycological cornmuni ty to ensure that the information concerning their respective research areas is accurate and up-to-date. If you have a special interest in supplying or reviewing information on the accepted name and author citation, nomenclature, taxonomy, geography, or host re1ationshi ps in specific genera or species of fungi, your support will be appreciated and acknowledged. For further detai 1s contact Gerald Bi 11 s or George Chamuri s, USDA-ARS, Systematic Botany, Mycology, & Nematology Laboratory, Building OllA, Rm. 313, BARC-West, Be1tsvil le, MD 20705 (Phone 301-344-2280). SPECIMENS NOW AVAILABLE Mycological and vascular plant specimens of the Biosystematics Research Institute (DAOM, DAO) Ottawa, Canada, earlier noted as being unavailable during major renovations, have been returned from their six month storage incarceration and are now accessible. In the same floor area, or less, specimens are housed in compactor faci 1i ties that provide more than double the specimen capacity of the former standard metal cabinets. Says J. A. Parmelee, curator: "We are back in business and visitors are welcome." A NEW CULTURE COLLECTION According to the curator, Cecelia Roux, the Culture Collection of the National Collection of Fungi (PREM) was initiated a few years ago to keep viable cultures of mycotoxi genic and taxonomically interesting isolates obtained in South Africa. It has since been affiliated to the WFCC. Cultures are supplied free upon request. As yet no catalogue is available of the strains in the collection.

Laccariopsis is morphologically close to these genera but distinguished by a unique combination of features: a Laccaria-like habit (distant, thick, subdecurrent lamellae), viscid pileus and upper stipe, glabrous stipe with a long pseudorhiza connecting with Ammophila and Juniperus roots and incorporating plant debris and sand particles, pileipellis consisting of a loose ixohymeniderm with slender pileocystidia, large and thin- to thick-walled spores and basidia, thin- to slightly thick-walled hymenial cystidia and caulocystidia, and monomitic stipe tissue. Phylogenetic analyses based on a combined ITS-LSU sequence dataset place Laccariopsis close to Gloiocephala and Rhizomarasmius. Key words — Agaricomycetes, Physalacriaceae, /gloiocephala clade, phylogeny, taxonomy Introduction Hydropus mediterraneus was originally described by Pacioni & Lalli (1985) based on collections from Mediterranean dune ecosystems in Central Italy, Sardinia, and Tunisia. Previous collections were misidentified as Laccaria maritima (Theodor.) Singer ex Huhtinen (Dal Savio 1984) due to their laccarioid habit. The generic attribution to Hydropus Kühner ex Singer by Pacioni & Lalli (1985) was due mainly to the presence of reddish watery droplets on young lamellae and sarcodimitic tissue in the stipe (Corner 1966, Singer 1982).

    A New Section and Two New Species of Podaxis (Gasteromycetes) from South Africa

    S.Afr.l. Bot., 1989,55(2): 159-164 159 A new section and two new species of Podaxis (Gasteromycetes) from South Africa J.J.R. de Villiers, A. Eicker* and G.C.A. van der Westhuizen Department of Botany, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, 0001 Republic of South Africa Accepted 7 September /988 Podaxis africana De Villiers, Eicker & van der Westhuizen and P. rugospora De Villiers, Eicker & van der Westhuizen, two new species from Transvaal are described and illustrated. A new section, Umbricorticalis De Villiers, Eicker & van der Westhuizen is proposed in the genus Podaxis to accommodate P. africana. Morphologically P. africana resembles P. microporus McKnight but it is distinguished by its large globose, subglobose to broadly ovoid spores, the absence of a 'pin prick' pore structure, the black gleba, and the deep orange to strong brown inner cortex of the stipe. P. rugospora is allied to P. pistillaris (L. ex Pers.) Fr. emend. Morse from which it differs by reason of the hyaline, narrow, flattened, occasionally septate capillitium threads and the grayish-olive, light olive or light to moderate yellowish-brown gleba. The most remarkable character of these new species is the rugose spores. Podaxis africana De Villiers, Eicker & van der Westhuizen en P. rugospora De Villiers, Eicker & van der Westhuizen, twee nuwe spesies van Transvaal word beskryf en ge·illustreer. 'n Nuwe seksie, Umbricorticalis De Villiers, Eicker & van der Westhuizen in die genus Podaxis word voorgestel om P. africana te akkommodeer. Morfologies toon P. africana 'n ooreenkoms met P. microporus McKnight maar word deur die groot bolvormige, subbolvormige tot bykans eiervormige spore, die afwesigheid van 'n 'naaldprik'-porie­ struktuur, die swart gleba en die diep oranje tot sterk bruin binneste korteks van die stipe.

Accepted 2 January, 2014 Mushrooms are the higher fungi which have long been used for food and medicinal purposes. They have rich nutritional value with high protein content (up to 44.93%), vitamins, minerals, fibers, trace elements and low calories and lack cholesterol. There are 14,000 known species of mushrooms of which 2,000 are safe for human consumption and about 650 of these possess medicinal properties. Among the total known mushrooms, approximately 850 species are recorded from India. Many of them have been used in food and folk medicine for thousands of years. Mushrooms are also sources of bioactive substances including antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, antioxidant, antiinflammatory, anticancer, antitumour, anti-HIV and antidiabetic activities. Nutriceuticals and medicinal mushrooms have been used in human health development in India as food, medicine, minerals among others. The present review aims to update the current status of mushrooms diversity in India with their nutritional and medicinal potential as well as ethnomedicinal uses for different future prospects in pharmaceutical application. Key words: Mushroom diversity, nutritional value, therapeutic potential, bioactive compound. INTRODUCTION Mushroom is a general term used mainly for the fruiting unexamined mushrooms will be only 5%, implies that body of macrofungi (Ascomycota and Basidiomycota) there are 7,000 yet undiscovered species, which if and represents only a short reproductive stage in their life discovered will be provided with the possible benefit to cycle (Das, 2010).

Les informations suivantes pour chaque taxon ont été indiquées : nom latin, auteur(s), basionyme, localité (si connue) et les références. Des macrophotographies de quelques nouveaux taxa aveyronnais sont aussi annexées. Ce travail est une contribution à la connaissance des myxomycètes d’Aveyron, qui sera éventuellement intégré à un projet de checklist nationale des Myxomycètes de France. Mots clés : Biodiversité, inventaire, taxonomie, Myxomycètes, Occitanie.

Tretter1, E.M. Johnson1, Y. Wang1, P. Kandel1, M.M. White1 Key words Abstract The recently recognised protein-coding genes MCM7 and TSR1 have shown significant promise for phylo genetic resolution within the Ascomycota and Basidiomycota, but have remained unexamined within other DNA replication licensing factor fungal groups (except for Mucorales). We designed and tested primers to amplify these genes across early-diverging Harpellales fungal clades, with emphasis on the Kickxellomycotina, zygomycetous fungi with characteristic flared septal walls Kickxellomycotina forming pores with lenticular plugs. Phylogenetic tree resolution and congruence with MCM7 and TSR1 were com- MCM7 pared against those inferred with nuclear small (SSU) and large subunit (LSU) rRNA genes. We also combined MS277 MCM7 and TSR1 data with the rDNA data to create 3- and 4-gene trees of the Kickxellomycotina that help to resolve MS456 evolutionary relationships among and within the core clades of this subphylum. Phylogenetic inference suggests ribosomal biogenesis protein that Barbatospora, Orphella, Ramicandelaber and Spiromyces may represent unique lineages. It is suggested that Trichomycetes these markers may be more broadly useful for phylogenetic studies among other groups of early-diverging fungi.
