Studies and Research in Applied Botany, Jnana Sahyadri, Kuvempu University, Shankaraghatta-577451, Shimoga, Karnataka.Email: [email protected] Abstract Shimoga district is one of the richest floristic area, located in between 13º 27' and 14º 39' N lat and 74º 38' and 76º 34' E long with a wide range of ecosystems and species diversity. Studies on the taxonomy and diversity of macrofungi are gaining importance, as many macrofungi are becoming extinct and facing threat of extinction because of habitat destruction. The current study deals with the diversity of macrofungi in semi-evergreen and moist deciduous forest of Shimoga district Karnataka. The average rainfall is 140 cm, temp is 25C and RH is 60 to 100%. The macrofungal diversity is very rich due to litter decomposition. Surveys were conducted from April 2005 to June 2007 in 10 sampling stations, five of their in semi-evergreen and its remaining five in moist deciduous forest. A total of 100 transects (50 each in semi-evergreen and moist deciduous) were studied each measuring 50 x 20 m. The macrofungi were collected, characterized, allotted accession number, preserved and all the collected specimens were photographed. A total of 778 species of macrofungi belonging to 43 families, 101 genera were enumerated of which 242 species were identified to genus level and 73 were identified to species level. Some of the currently identified genera are Agaricus sp., Albatrellus sp., Amanita sp., Arrhenia sp., Boletus sp., Cantharellus sp., Clavaria sp., Cordyceps sp., Delicatula sp., Entoloma sp., Flammulina sp., Hygrocybe sp., Hypholoma sp., Laccaria sp., Lepiota sp., Lycoperdon sp., Macrolepiota sp., Microporus sp., Panellus sp., Phellinus sp., Ramaria sp., Schizophyllum sp., Tricholoma sp., Auricularia auricula, Calocera cornea, Calvatia cyathiformis, Cariolus versicolor, Clavilinopsis laeticolor, Clitocybe rivulosa, Cyathus striatus, Daldinia concentrica, Dictyophora cinnabarina, Geastrum laccata. Geoglossum fallax, Hygrocybe singeri, Marasmius quercophilus, Pleurotus ostreatus, Ramaria botrytis, Scutellina scutellata, Stereum ostrea, Tremella mesenterica and Xylaria polymorpha. Among the collected species Laccaria sp. forms most denser (D=15.36), abundant (Ab=256) and frequency (F=0.06) in semi-evergreen forest and Schizophyllum sp. forms the most denser (D=16.48), abundant (Ab=164.8) and frequency (F=0.1) in moist deciduous forest. The Shannon diversity index and Simpson index were calculated to be 5.57 and 1.12 in semi- evergreen forest, which indicates the very high species richness of the study site. In moist deciduous forest, the Shannon diversity index was 5.42 and the Simpson index was 0.011. Further investigation is in progress.

The variety and galaxy of The number of existing fungi worldwide has been fungi and their natural estimated to 1.5 million species (Hawksworth 2004). beauty occupy prime place One-thirds of the fungal diversity of the globe exists in in the biological world and India and of this, only 50% are characterized until now India has been a cradle for (Manoharachary et al 2005). The number of fungi such fungi. Defining the recorded in India exceeds 27,000 species, the largest number of fungi on earth biotic community after insects. Fungi are not only has always been a point of beautiful but play a significant role in the daily life of discussion and several human beings besides their utilization in industry, studies have focused on agriculture, medicine (Cowan 2001; Chang and Miles enumerating the world’s 2004), food industry, textiles, bioremediation, natural fungal biodiversity (Crous cycling, in recycling nutrients and decomposing the et al 2006). Only a fraction of total fungal wealth has dead organic matter (Molina et al 1993; Keizer 1998; been subjected to scientific scrutiny and mycologists Pilz 2001) in soil and litter (Hunt 1999; Gates 2005), as continue to unravel the unexplored and hidden wealth. biofertilizers and many other ways.

Surveying is best just (Smith 1963). Studies on this subject, in fact, have been after the period of rain but some macrofungi can be carried out in different countries (Peck 1873; Stojchev found any time in some locations (Susan metzler and 1995) and new species for the world macrofungal flora Van metzler 1992). Difficulty was small proportions of have been recorded (Kerrigan 1989; Laferriare 1990). macrofungi were visible on a single visit.

Macrofungi were considered ideal for the indices like Shannon and Simpson were calculated purpose of evaluation as biosorbents, because it has using standard protocols. been demonstrated that many fungal species exhibit high biosorptive potentials (Muraleedharan et al 1995). Work has been carried out on antimicrobial activities of lower fungi but edible mushrooms have not been adequately explored (Jonathan and Fasidi 2003). Our objective was to benchmark diversity of macrofungi and characterize, collect, preserve, and evaluate edibility and medicinal value of different macrofungal species in semi-evergreen and moist deciduous forest of Shimoga district in Karnataka.

Sargento Cabral 2131, CC 209 Corrientes Capital, CP 3400, Argentina 2Instituto de Investigaciones Biotecnológicas (UNSAM-CONICET) Intendente Marino Km 8.200, Chascomús, Buenos Aires, CP 7130, Argentina CORRESPONDENCE TO *: [email protected] ABSTRACT— A species checklist of 86 genera and 709 species belonging to the families Tricholomataceae and Polyporaceae occurring in Argentina, and including all the species previously published up to year 2011 is presented. KEY WORDS—Agaricomycetes, Marasmius, Mycena, Collybia, Clitocybe Introduction The aim of the Checklist of the Argentinean Agaricales is to establish a baseline of knowledge on the diversity of mushrooms species described in the literature from Argentina up to 2011. The families Amanitaceae, Pluteaceae, Hygrophoraceae, Coprinaceae, Strophariaceae, Bolbitaceae and Crepidotaceae were previoulsy compiled (Niveiro & Albertó 2012a-c). In this contribution, the families Tricholomataceae and Polyporaceae are presented. Materials & Methods Nomenclature and classification systems This checklist compiled data from the available literature on Tricholomataceae and Polyporaceae recorded for Argentina up to the year 2011. Nomenclature and classification systems followed Singer (1986) for families. The genera Pleurotus, Panus, Lentinus, and Schyzophyllum are included in the family Polyporaceae. The Tribe Polyporae (including the genera Polyporus, Pseudofavolus, and Mycobonia) is excluded. There were important rearrangements in the families Tricholomataceae and Polyporaceae according to Singer (1986) over time to present. Tricholomataceae was distributed in six families: Tricholomataceae, Marasmiaceae, Physalacriaceae, Lyophyllaceae, Mycenaceae, and Hydnaginaceae. Some genera belonging to this family were transferred to other orders, i.e. Rickenella (Rickenellaceae, Hymenochaetales), and Lentinellus (Auriscalpiaceae, Russulales).

    Journal of the Lundy Field Society, 2, 2010 LUNDY FUNGI: FURTHER SURVEYS 2004-2008 by JOHN N. HEDGER1, J. DAVID GEORGE2, GARETH W. GRIFFITH3, DILUKA PEIRIS1 1School of Life Sciences, University of Westminster, 115 New Cavendish Street, London, W1M 8JS 2Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London, SW7 5BD 3Institute of Biological Environmental and Rural Sciences, University of Aberystwyth, SY23 3DD Corresponding author, e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The results of four five-day field surveys of fungi carried out yearly on Lundy from 2004-08 are reported and the results compared with the previous survey by ourselves in 2003 and to records made prior to 2003 by members of the LFS. 240 taxa were identified of which 159 appear to be new records for the island. Seasonal distribution, habitat and resource preferences are discussed. Keywords: Fungi, ecology, biodiversity, conservation, grassland INTRODUCTION Hedger & George (2004) published a list of 108 taxa of fungi found on Lundy during a five-day survey carried out in October 2003. They also included in this paper the records of 95 species of fungi made from 1970 onwards, mostly abstracted from the Annual Reports of the Lundy Field Society, and found that their own survey had added 70 additional records, giving a total of 156 taxa. They concluded that further surveys would undoubtedly add to the database, especially since the autumn of 2003 had been exceptionally dry, and as a consequence the fruiting of the larger fleshy fungi on Lundy, especially the grassland species, had been very poor, resulting in under-recording. Further five-day surveys were therefore carried out each year from 2004-08, three in the autumn, 8-12 November 2004, 4-9 November 2007, 3-11 November 2008, one in winter, 23-27 January 2006 and one in spring, 9-16 April 2005.

Delong-Duhon and Robin K. Bagley Department of Biology, University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA 52242 [email protected] Abstract Stereum is a globally widespread genus of basidiomycete fungi with conspicuous shelf-like fruiting bodies. Several species have been extensively studied due to their economic importance, but broader Stereum taxonomy has been stymied by pervasive morphological crypsis in the genus. Here, we provide a preliminary investigation into species boundaries among some North American Stereum. The nominal species Stereum ostrea has been referenced in field guides, textbooks, and scientific papers as a common fungus with a wide geographic range and even wider morphological variability. We use ITS sequence data of specimens from midwestern and eastern North America, alongside morphological and ecological characters, to show that Stereum ostrea is a complex of at least three reproductively isolated species. Preliminary morphological analyses show that these three species correspond to three historical taxa that were previously synonymized with S. ostrea: Stereum fasciatum, Stereum lobatum, and Stereum subtomentosum. Stereum hirsutum ITS sequences taken from GenBank suggest that other Stereum species may actually be species complexes. Future work should apply a multilocus approach and global sampling strategy to better resolve the taxonomy and evolutionary history of this important fungal genus.

  • Slime Moulds
    Queen’s University Biological Station Species List: Slime Molds The current list has been compiled by Richard Aaron, a naturalist and educator from Toronto, who has been running the Fabulous Fall Fungi workshop at QUBS between 2009 and 2019. Dr. Ivy Schoepf, QUBS Research Coordinator, edited the list in 2020 to include full taxonomy and information regarding species’ status using resources from The Natural Heritage Information Centre (April 2018) and The IUCN Red List of Threatened Species (February 2018); iNaturalist and GBIF. Contact Ivy to report any errors, omissions and/or new sightings. Based on the aforementioned criteria we can expect to find a total of 33 species of slime molds (kingdom: Protozoa, phylum: Mycetozoa) present at QUBS. Species are Figure 1. One of the most commonly encountered reported using their full taxonomy; common slime mold at QUBS is the Dog Vomit Slime Mold (Fuligo septica). Slime molds are unique in the way name and status, based on whether the species is that they do not have cell walls. Unlike fungi, they of global or provincial concern (see Table 1 for also phagocytose their food before they digest it. details).
