OCCURRENCE OF PSILOCYBIN/ PSILOCIN IN PLUTEUS SALICINUS (PLUTEACEAE) STEPHEN G. SAUPE Department of Botany, University of Illinois, Urbana, Illinois 61801 The development of blue color in a basidiocarp after bruising is a reliable, although not infallible, field character for detecting the pres­ ence of the N-methylated tryptamines, psilocybin and psilocin (1, 2, 8). This color results from the stepwise oxidation of psilocybin to psi­ locin to a blue pigment (3). Pluteus salicinus (Pers. ex Fr.) Kummer (Pluteaceae) has a grey pileus with erect to depressed, blackish, spinu­ lose squamules in the center. It is distinguished from other species in section Pluteus by its bluish to olive-green stipe, the color intensify­ ing with age and bruising (10, 11 ). This study was initiated to deter­ mine if the bluing phenomenon exhibited by this fungus is due to the presence of psilocybin/psilocin. Pluteus salicinus (sgs-230, ILL) was collected on decaying wood in Brownfield Woods, Urbana, Illinois, a mixed mesophytic upland forest. Carpophores were solitary and uncommon. Although Singer (10) reponed that this fungus is common in some areas of North America and Europe, it is rare in Michigan (5).

  • High Diversity of Fungi Recovered from the Roots of Mature Tanoak (Lithocarpus Densiflorus) in Northern California
    1380 High diversity of fungi recovered from the roots of mature tanoak (Lithocarpus densiflorus)in northern California S.E. Bergemann and M. Garbelotto Abstract: We collected mature tanoak (Lithocarpus densiflorus (Hook. & Arn.) Rehder) roots from five stands to charac- terize the relative abundance and taxonomic richness of root-associated fungi. Fungi were identified using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), cloning, and sequencing of internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and 28S rDNA. A total of 382 cloned PCR inserts were successfully sequenced and then classified into 119 taxa. Of these taxa, 82 were basidiomycetes, 33 were ascomycetes, and 4 were zygomycetes. Thirty-one of the ascomycete sequences were identified as Cenococcum geo- philum Fr. with overall richness of 22 ITS types. Other ascomycetes that form mycorrhizal associations were identified in- cluding Wilcoxina and Tuber as well as endophytes such as Lachnum, Cadophora, Phialophora, and Phialocephela. The most abundant mycorrhizal groups were Russulaceae (Lactarius, Macowanites, Russula) and species in the Thelephorales (Bankera, Boletopsis, Hydnellum, Tomentella). Our study demonstrates that tanoak supports a high diversity of ectomycor- rhizal fungi with comparable species richness to that observed in Quercus root communities. Key words: Cenoccocum geophilum, community, dark septate endophytes, ectomycorrhiza, species richness. Re´sume´ : Les auteurs ont pre´leve´ des racines de Lithocarpus densiflorus (Hook. & Arn.)

  • Blood Mushroom
    Bleeding-Tooth Fungus Hydnellum Peckii Genus: Hydnellum Family: Bankeraceae Also known as: Strawberries and Cream Fungus, Bleeding Hydnellum, Red-Juice Tooth, or Devil’s Tooth. If you occasionally enjoy an unusual or weird sight in nature, we have one for you. Bleeding-Tooth Fungus fits this description with its strange colors and textures. This fungus is not toxic, but it is considered inedible because of its extremely bitter taste. Hydnoid species of fungus produce their spores on spines or “teeth”; these are reproductive structures. This fungus “bleeds” bright red droplets down the spines, so that it looks a little like blood against the whitish fungus. This liquid actually has an anticoagulant property similar to the medicine heparin; it keeps human or animal blood from clotting. This fungus turns brown with age. Bloody-Tooth Fungus establishes a relationship with the roots of certain trees, so you will find it lower down on the tree’s trunk. The fungus exchanges the minerals and amino acids it has extracted from the soil with its enzymes, for oxygen and carbon within the host tree that allow the fungus to flourish. It’s a great partnership that benefits both, called symbiosis. The picture above was taken at Kings Corner at the pine trees on the west side of the property. It was taken in early to mid-autumn. This part of the woods is moist enough to grow some really beautiful mushrooms and fungi. Come and see—but don’t touch or destroy. Fungi should be respected for the role they play in the woods ecology.

  • Colonisation of Pinus Radiata Thinning Stumps by Armillaria and Other Basidiomycetes Following Treatment with Armillaria Basidiospores
    COLONISATION OF PINUS RADIATA THINNING STUMPS BY ARMILLARIA AND OTHER BASIDIOMYCETES FOLLOWING TREATMENT WITH ARMILLARIA BASIDIOSPORES *I.A. Hood and *J.F. Gardner *New Zealand Forest Research Institute, Rotorua, New Zealand Abstract Stumps of thinned trees and partly buried stem segments were treated with basidiospores of two Armillaria species, to test the possibility that colonisation of woody material by basidiospores serves to spread Armillaria species into Pinus radiata plantations in New Zealand. Spore colonisation was confirmed for segments and demonstrated for the first time on freshly cut pine stumps. Effective invasion occurred at high spore concentrations and was apparent from 6 months after felling. Other basidiomycetes were first isolated from stumps at 6 months and were consistently cultured between 1 and 3 years following felling, after which yields became irregular due to stump deterioration and increasing contamination. Certain basidiomycetes were isolated regularly whereas many others were cultured only infrequently. A culture bank was established of basidiomycetes to be tested as candidates for potential biological control of A. novae-zelandiae in pine stumps. Introduction It is important to know whether Armillaria novae-zelandiae (Stevenson) Herink is spreading into stands of Pinus radiata D. Don by means of basidiospores dispersed from fruitbodies in nearby indigenous forests in New Zealand. The formation of new, spore-derived colonies is inferred from the high densities of A. novae- zelandiae genets in second rotation plantations on sites not originally stocked in native forest. However, direct supporting evidence consists so far only of the demonstrated colonisation of freshly cut partly buried pine billets employed as spore traps (Hood et al ., 2002).

Kummer and its acceptance as type species of Armillaria (Fr.:Fr.) Staude. Due to recognition of different type species over the years and an extremely variable generic concept, at least 274 species and varieties have been placed in Armillaria (or in Armillariella Karst., its obligate synonym). Only about forty species belong in the genus Armillaria sensu stricto, while the rest can be placed in forty-three other modem genera. This study is based on original descriptions in the literature, as well as studies of type specimens and generic and species concepts by other authors. This publication consists of an alphabetical listing of all epithets used in Armillaria or Armillariella, with their basionyms, currently accepted names, and other obligate and facultative synonyms.

Abstract: Mycomedicine is a unique class of natural medicine that has been widely used in Asian countries for thousands of years. Modern mycomedicine consists of fruiting bodies, spores, or other tissues of medicinal fungi, as well as bioactive components extracted from them, including polysaccha- rides and, triterpenoids, etc. Since the discovery of the famous fungal extract, penicillin, by Alexander Fleming in the late 19th century, researchers have realised the significant antibiotic and other medic- inal values of fungal extracts. As medicinal fungi and fungal metabolites can induce apoptosis or autophagy, enhance the immune response, and reduce metastatic potential, several types of mush- rooms, such as Ganoderma lucidum and Grifola frondosa, have been extensively investigated, and anti- cancer drugs have been developed from their extracts. Although some studies have highlighted the anti-cancer properties of a single, specific mushroom, only limited reviews have summarised diverse medicinal fungi as mycomedicine. In this review, we not only list the structures and functions of pharmaceutically active components isolated from mycomedicine, but also summarise the mecha- Citation: Dai, R.; Liu, M.; Nik Nabil, W.N.; Xi, Z.; Xu, H.
