  • The Spread of Threatened Bracket Fungus in Estonian Forest Set-Asides
    Long-term forest protection pays off: the spread of threatened bracket fungus in Estonian forest set-asides By Kadri Runnel & Asko Lõhmus, 19th September 2019 In forest conservation we too often seem to lose large intact landscapes and biodiverse forests to timber industries or land development before effective conservation action can take place. When ecologists then try to protect old-growth stands, striving to create large, well-connected habitat networks, they often find that the most sensitive species remain in only a few, isolated forest patches. Even once protected, we do not know whether and when these largely degraded habitats could enable remnant primaeval-forest species to recover across their range and spread out from their refugia along these networks. Most parts of Europe that have a long history of intensive land- use are currently faced with this situation. Fruit bodies of Amylocystis lapponica. Photo: Urmas Ojango Our small group of conservation mycologists has now provided a preliminary answer to this complex issue based on long-term monitoring of a threatened bracket fungus, Amylocystis lapponica, in Estonia. Amylocystis lapponica is a saprotrophic fungus that grows on large fallen conifer trunks and is threatened across Europe. In the last 30 years its fruit bodies have been recorded in eight European countries, mostly in the boreal zone. To the south it is only present in a few refugia in the best-preserved Central European primaeval forests. When in good shape, A. lapponica fruit bodies are easy to detect. Photo: Urmas Ojango In Estonia this species was known for 40 years from a few records in a single old-growth stand and was categorized as Critically Endangered.

  • Remarks to the Ecology of the Boreo-Montane Polypore Amylocystis Lapponica Based on Data from the Czech Republic and Poland
    ACTA MYCOLOGICA Dedicated to Professor Alina Skirgiełło Vol. 42 (2): 161-168 on the occasion of her ninety-fifth birthday 2007 Remarks to the ecology of the boreo-montane polypore Amylocystis lapponica based on data from the Czech Republic and Poland JAN HOLEC1 and Tomáš Kučera2 1National Museum, Mycological Department, Václavské nám. 68, CZ-115 79 Praha 1, [email protected] 2Institute of Systems Biology and ecology, academy of Sciences of the Czech republic Na Sádkách 7, CZ-370 05 české Budějovice, [email protected] H o l e c J., K u č e r a T.: Remarks to the ecology of the boreo-montane polypore Amylocystis lapponica based on data from the Czech Republic and Poland. acta mycol. 42 (2):161-168, 2007. In the Czech republic, the rare polypore Amylocystis lapponica (romell) Singer continuously occurs in the Boubínský prales virgin forest (southern Bohemia: šumava mts) where it has been documented for more than 60 years. Similarly, in Poland it has been known only from the Puszcza Białowieska virgin forest (northeastern Poland) for more than 50 years. Generally, it is considered a species of boreal coniferous forests of northern europe (taiga) and montane coniferous forests in Central and Southern Europe. However, the data from the Czech republic, Slovakia and western ukraine show that it also grows in mixed montane forests composed mainly of Fagus sylvatica, Picea abies and Abies alba. In Poland, the locality is situated in a lowland forest consisting mostly of Carpinus betulus, Quercus robur and Tilia cordata. In Central Europe, A. lapponica occurs only in virgin forest refuges with the following habitat conditions: vegetation continuity (never cut), natural tree species composition, multi- aged structure, rich presence of dead wood in various stages of decay, relatively large area of the virgin forest surrounded by near-natural forests, stable, cold and humid meso- and microclimate.

  • Interesting Macrofungi from the Eastern Carpathians, Ukraine and Their Value As Bioindicators of Primeval and Near-Natural Forests
    MYCOLOGIA BALCANICA 5: 55–67 (2008) 55 Interesting macrofungi from the Eastern Carpathians, Ukraine and their value as bioindicators of primeval and near-natural forests Jan Holec National Museum, Mycological Department, Václavské nám. 68, 115 79 Praha 1, Czech Republic (e-mail: [email protected]) Received 26 February 2008 / Accepted 17 March 2008 Abstract. In 1999 and 2007 mycobiota of several locations in the Eastern Carpathians, Ukraine was studied. Th e Chornohora, Svydovets and Horhany mountain massifs were visited, especially locations with natural (primeval or near-natural) forests. Records of 32 rare, threatened or overlooked species of macrofungi are published. Ten of them are probably new to Ukraine (Cordyceps rouxii, Gymnopilus josserandii, Hydropus atramentosus, H. marginellus, H. subalpinus, Hypholoma subviride, Hypoxylon vogesiacum, Lopadostoma pouzarii, Omphalina cyanophylla, Skeletocutis carneogrisea) and 10 can be considered bioindicators of natural forests (Cystostereum murrayi, Hohenbuehelia auriscalpium, Hydropus atramentosus, Hypoxylon vogesiacum, Multiclavula mucida, Omphalina cyanophylla, Phellinus nigrolimitatus, P. pouzarii, Rigidoporus crocatus, Skeletocutis stellae). Th e records are compared with the mycobiota of the Poloniny National Park, Slovakia and with data on indicator species of fungi from abroad. Th e Eastern Carpathians (covering parts of Slovakia, Poland, Ukraine and Romania) seem to be the best refugee for rare (especially lignicolous) fungi of mountain beech and mixed forests in Europe. Key words: biodiversity, bioindication, Carpathian Biosphere Reserve, lignicolous fungi, near-natural forests, primeval forests, Zakarpatska oblast Introduction Basic work on the biodiversity of macrofungi in the Eastern Carpathians was carried out by the prominent Czech mycologist In 1999 and 2007 I visited several locations in the Eastern Albert Pilát in the period 1928-1938.

Seven old-growth, mostly spruce- and pine-dominated, protected forests rich in dead wood were inventoried for polypores and polypore-associated beetles in Finland in 2001–2007. A total of 198 polypore species (86% of the Finnish species list) were examined for associated Coleoptera. Of these, 116 species (59% of the studied species, or 50% of the Finnish polypore mycota) were found to host adults and/or larvae of 176 beetle species. Fifty-six polypore species were utilized by larvae of 21 beetle spe- cies. Many new fungus–beetle associations were discovered among 544 species pairs, including 421 polypore fruit body–adult Coleoptera species co-occurrences, and 123 fruit body–larva associations. Eighty-two species of fungi (41% of the studied species, or 36% of the Finnish polypores) were neither visited nor colonized by Coleoptera.

As a result 105 polypore species were collected; together with earlier reports by other authors, the amount of species totals 121 . This is a high number, surpassed in Finland by a few first-rank nature reserves onl y. Of the species found, 29 are red listed: 2 endangered (EN: Antrodia crassa (P. Karst.) Ryvarden, Piloporia sajanensis (Parmas­ to) Niemela), 11 vulnerable (VU), and 16 near-threatened (NT). Hyphodontia latitans (Bourd. & Galz.) E. Langer has been found in Finland only once from the same area; now it was recoll ected. The research area is in a way a meeting-point of some north­ erly species (e.g. Daedaleopsis septentrionalis (P. Karst.) Niemela, Trichaptum larici­ num (P. Karst.) Ryvarden), those with an eastern distribution in Fennoscandia (e.g. Trichaptum pargamenum (Fr.) G. Cunn.), and some southern ones (e.g. Pycnoporellus fulgens (Fr.) Donk). Remarkably numerous were some species which indicate old growth forests of high conservation value (e.g. Amylocystis lapponica (Romell) Sing­ er, Antrodia albobrunnea (Romell) Ryvarden, A.

  • Sarcoporia Polyspora (Basidiomycota, Polyporales): a Rare Wood-Decay Fungus Newly Recorded from South America

These fungi and forests may have a common co-evolutionary history. Studying wood-inhabiting fungi in cultivated pine forests in Southern Brazil, we have analyzed morphologically and molecularly specimens of Sarcoporia polyspora, which has shown to be a rare and aggressive decomposer previously unreported from South America. Nuclear ribosomal ITS region sequences from North and South American specimens were compared. Key wo r ds: macrofungus, Pinus spp., wood, soil humus, brown rot, polyporcs. Introduction Fungi are able to modify their substrates by secreting extracellular enzymes and thus produce significant ecological impacts; they find their niche in forests on leaf litter, soil organic matter (humus) or wood, as in the case of polypores (Basidiomycota), which attack primary wood compounds - cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin.
