The heavy rainfall and high humidity favours the growth of Fungi; Aphyllophoraceous fungi. The present work materially adds to our knowledge of Aphyllophorales; Poroid and Non-Poroid Aphyllophorales from all over India. A total of more than Basidiomycetes; 190 genera of 52 families and total 1175 species of from poroid and non-poroid semi-evergreen Aphyllophorales fungi were reported from Indian literature till 2012.The checklist gives the total count of aphyllophoraceous fungal diversity from India which is also forest.. a valued addition for comparing aphyllophoraceous diversity in the world. Introduction Aphyllophorales order was proposed by in culture are recognized by Stalper.

Traditionally the order has had to the literature is complicated because a core of four families based on information about the genera of any one hymenophore shape, as described above, family may occur in apparently unrelated but recent detailed microscopic studies of monographs. The Aphyllophorales were basidiocarp structure has shown these not recognized as distinct group by the groupings to be unnatural and the early workers like Linneaus (1753). taxonomy of the order is at present in a Linneaus in Species plantarum, (1753), state of flux.

Relationships between wood-inhabiting fungal species richness and habitat variables in old-growth forest stands in the Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park, northern boreal Finland. Silva Fennica 45(5): 995–1013. Indicators for biodiversity are needed for efficient prioritization of forests selected for conservation. We analyzed the relationships between 86 wood-inhabiting fungal (polypore) species richness and 35 habitat variables in 81 northern boreal old-growth forest stands in Finland. Species richness and the number of red-listed species were analyzed separately using generalized linear models. Most species were infrequent in the studied landscape and no species was encountered in all stands. The species richness increased with 1) the volume of coarse woody debris (CWD), 2) the mean DBH of CWD and 3) the basal area of living trees. The number of red-listed species increased along the same gradients, but the effect of basal area was not significant. Polypore species richness was significantly lower on western slopes than on flat topography. On average, species richness was higher on northern and eastern slopes than on western and southern slopes. The results suggest that a combination of habitat variables used as indicators may be useful in selecting forest stands to be set aside for polypore species conservation.

A new morphological arrangement of the Polypo- rales. I. Phanerochaetineae. Mycena. 2006. Vol. 6. P. 4–56. UDC 582.287.23:001.4. SUMMARY: A new taxonomic division of the suborder Phanerochaetineae of the order Polyporales is presented. The suborder covers five families, i.e. Faerberiaceae Pouzar, Fistuli- naceae Lotsy (including Jülich’s Bjerkanderaceae, Grifolaceae, Hapalopilaceae, and Meripi- laceae), Laetiporaceae Jülich (=Phaeolaceae Jülich), and Phanerochaetaceae Jülich. As a basis of the suggested subdivision, features of basidioma micromorphology are regarded, with special attention to hypha/epibasidium ratio. Some generic concepts are changed. New genera Raduliporus Spirin & Zmitr. (type Polyporus aneirinus Sommerf. : Fr.), Emmia Zmitr., Spirin & V. Malysheva (type Polyporus latemarginatus Dur. & Mont.), and Leptochaete Zmitr. & Spirin (type Thelephora sanguinea Fr. : Fr.) are described. The genus Byssomerulius Parmasto is proposed to be conserved versus Dictyonema C. Ag. The genera Abortiporus Murrill and Bjer- kandera P. Karst. are reduced to Grifola Gray. In total, 69 new combinations are proposed. The species Emmia metamorphosa (Fuckel) Spirin, Zmitr. & Malysheva (commonly known as Ceri- poria metamorphosa (Fuckel) Ryvarden & Gilb.) is reported as new to Russia. Key words: aphyllophoroid fungi, corticioid fungi, Dictyonema, Fistulinaceae, homo- basidiomycetes, Laetiporaceae, merulioid fungi, Phanerochaetaceae, phylogeny, systematics I. INTRODUCTORY NOTES There is no general agreement how to outline the limits of the forms which should be called phanerochaetoid fungi.

  • Polypore Fungi As a Flagship Group to Indicate Changes in Biodiversity – a Test Case from Estonia Kadri Runnel1* , Otto Miettinen2 and Asko Lõhmus1
    Runnel et al. IMA Fungus (2021) 12:2 https://doi.org/10.1186/s43008-020-00050-y IMA Fungus RESEARCH Open Access Polypore fungi as a flagship group to indicate changes in biodiversity – a test case from Estonia Kadri Runnel1* , Otto Miettinen2 and Asko Lõhmus1 Abstract Polyporous fungi, a morphologically delineated group of Agaricomycetes (Basidiomycota), are considered well studied in Europe and used as model group in ecological studies and for conservation. Such broad interest, including widespread sampling and DNA based taxonomic revisions, is rapidly transforming our basic understanding of polypore diversity and natural history. We integrated over 40,000 historical and modern records of polypores in Estonia (hemiboreal Europe), revealing 227 species, and including Polyporus submelanopus and P. ulleungus as novelties for Europe. Taxonomic and conservation problems were distinguished for 13 unresolved subgroups. The estimated species pool exceeds 260 species in Estonia, including at least 20 likely undescribed species (here documented as distinct DNA lineages related to accepted species in, e.g., Ceriporia, Coltricia, Physisporinus, Sidera and Sistotrema). Four broad ecological patterns are described: (1) polypore assemblage organization in natural forests follows major soil and tree-composition gradients; (2) landscape-scale polypore diversity homogenizes due to draining of peatland forests and reduction of nemoral broad-leaved trees (wooded meadows and parks buffer the latter); (3) species having parasitic or brown-rot life-strategies are more substrate- specific; and (4) assemblage differences among woody substrates reveal habitat management priorities. Our update reveals extensive overlap of polypore biota throughout North Europe. We estimate that in Estonia, the biota experienced ca. 3–5% species turnover during the twentieth century, but exotic species remain rare and have not attained key functions in natural ecosystems.

The Library now comprises over 1100 items. Development of the Library has depended largely on the generosity of members. Many offers of books and monographs, particularly important taxonomic works, and gifts of money to purchase items, are gratefully acknowledged. The rules for the loan of books are as follows: Books may be borrowed at the discretion of the Librarian and requests should be made, preferably by post or e-mail and stating whether a BMS member, to: The Librarian, British Mycological Society, Jodrell Laboratory Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond, Surrey TW9 3AB Email: <[email protected]> No more than two volumes may be borrowed at one time, for a period of up to one month, by which time books must be returned or the loan renewed. The borrower will be held liable for the cost of replacement of books that are lost or not returned. BMS Members do not have to pay postage for the outward journey. For the return journey, books must be returned securely packed and postage paid.

    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN The integration of metabolome and proteome reveals bioactive polyphenols and hispidin in ARTP mutagenized Phellinus baumii Henan Zhang1,5, Ruibing Chen2,5, Jingsong Zhang1, Qitao Bu2, Wenhan Wang1, Yanfang Liu1, Qing Li3, Ying Guo2, Lei Zhang2,4* & Yan Yang1* Phellinus baumii, also called “Sang Huang” in China, is broadly used as a kind of health food or folk medicine in Asia for its high biological activities, e.g. anti-tumor, anti-oxidation and anti-infammatory activities. Although some previous studies have indicated that polysaccharides and favonoids showed the activity of inhibiting tumor cells, the active metabolites of P. baumii needs further research. In our study, a stable P. baumii mutant (A67), generated by ARTP mutagenesis strategy, showed more signifcantly inhibiting tumor cells and enhancing antioxidant activity. Our further studies found that the increase of polyphenols content, especially hispidin, was an important reason of the biological activity enhancement of A67. According to the results of the integrated metabolome and proteome study, the increase of polyphenol content was caused by upregulation of the phenylpropanoid biosynthesis. This study expanded the understanding of active compounds and metabolic pathway of P. baumii. Phellinus baumii, a well-known fungus in Hymenochaetaceae family, grows on mulberry trees. It is a famous edi- ble mushroom in Asia and it is commonly called “Sang Huang” in China and “Meshimakobu” in Japan1. In China, P. baumii is even known as “biogold” for its health value and medicinal value2. Its fruiting body is traditionally used as a folk medicine for its high biological activities, e.g.

  • Stem Decays of Hardwoods in the Plains Numerous Decay Fungi, Numerous Hosts
    Stem Decays of Hardwoods in the Plains Numerous decay fungi, numerous hosts Pathogen—Many fungi decay wood in the roots, butts, and stems of hardwoods in the Great Plains of South Dakota, Nebraska, Kansas, and Colorado. Three stem-decay fungi are presented here: Phellinus igniarius, Fomiti- poria (Phellinus) punctata, and Perenniporia fraxinophila (table 1). Hosts—Phellinus igniarius has a wide host range, infecting species in over 20 genera of hardwoods. It is com- mon in birch, but has also been found in ash, black walnut, poplars, buckthorn, and willows. Fomitiporia punctata also has a wide host range. In a survey of North Dakota windbreaks, plantings, and natural stands, it was found on live willow, ash, Prunus, Rhamnus, Caragana, and Syringa. Perenniporia fraxinophila infects primarily ash species, with a few records on other hardwood genera and even junipers. Signs and Symptoms—Conks, the spore-producing fruiting bodies, are evidence of infection, but they are not always present on infected trees. Conks may form anywhere on the stem or branches (fig. 1), but are most common at branch stubs, in cankers, and near cavity open- ings. In addition to conks, symptoms may be evident. Openings leading to internal hollows (cavities) may form, especially at branch stubs or openings created by cavity-nesting birds (fig. 2).Fomitiporia punctata also causes cankers, or patches of killed bark—such a disease caused by wood-decay fungi is called a canker rot. The fungus decays wood inside the stem but grows out along branch traces and kills the cam- bium around branch stubs, which results in death of the overlying bark.
