Hebeloma, Pioneer Genus in Forensic Mycology Hebeloma, Pioneer Genus in The Flaw of Reiterating It’s been stated that many authors are likely reiterating the claims of previous Forensic Mycology authors, not exactly knowing who Danny Haelewaters actually was the one seeing it firsthand. This makes me think of Andre Vltchek’s Harvard University Herbaria, Farlow Herbarium (2013) article Harare: Is It Really the Worst Email: [email protected] City on Earth? which reveals similar few years ago, it must have still being described and the interest in findings at the journalistic level. been 2009, I was part of the Hebeloma remains, as the fungus may Surveys by The Economist and others Netherlands Forensic Institute, provide unbiased scientific evidence for relentlessly portrayed Zimbabwe’s capital inA particular of the Line Department use in the court of law, and in criminal city Harare as the 4th worst city in the Microtraces (Non Human Biological investigation and trial. world.

Introduction Hebeloma (Fr.) Kumm. is a genus Hebeloma crustuliniforme courtesy M. Wood. of ectomycorrhizal fungi in the Strophariaceae (Basidiomycota: Agaricales) consisting of, mostly, pioneer species – they occur as the first of sequential successive steps – while a few other species decompose animal wastes. Species delineation is traditionally based upon morphological characters. The different species in Hebeloma, however, are neither distinctive nor colorful (Arora, 1986). David Arora, in his Mushrooms demystified (1986), refers to Hebeloma as “[…] yet another faceless and featureless collection of brownish mushrooms.” Species identification, even for specialists in the field, is difficult and the different species concepts and infrageneric classifications are controversial. And pretty confusing, too. Depending on the author, sections, subsections, or even stirps exist to “solve” the genus (Aanen et al., 2000). Attempts have been made to clarify phylogenetic relationships within the genus, although these approaches were restricted to specific sections (Eberhardt et al., 2013) or contained many unresolved or unsupported branches (Aanen et al., 2000).

    ©Verlag Ferdinand Berger & Söhne Ges.m.b.H., Horn, Austria, download unter www.biologiezentrum.at Studies of Species of Hebeloma (FR.) KUMMER from the Great Lakes Region of North America I. *) Alexander H. SMITH Professor Emeritus, University Herbarium University of Michigan Ann Arbor, Michigan, USA Introduction The genus Hebeloma is a member of the family Cortinariaceae of the order Agaricales. In recent times it has emerged from relative taxonomic obscurity largely, apparently, because most of its species are thought to be mycorrhiza formers with our forest trees, and this phase of forest ecology is now much in the public eye. The genus, as recognized by SMITH, EVENSON & MITCHEL (1983) is essentially that of SINGER (1975) with some adjustments in the infrageneric categories recognized. It is also, the same, for the most part, as the concept proposed by the late L. R. HESLER in his unfinished manuscript on the North American species which SMITH is now engaged in completing. In the past there have been few treatments of the North American species which recognized more than a dozen species. MURRILL (1917) recognized 49 species but a number of these have been transferred to other genera. In the recent past, how- ever, European mycologists have showed renewed interest in the genus as is to be noted by the papers of ROMAGNESI (1965), BRUCHET (1970), and MOSER (1978). The species included here are some that have been observed for years by the author (1929—1983) in local localities, and the obser- vations on them have clarified their identity and allowed their probable relationships to be proposed.

The effects of forest management practices on a plantation of willow (Salix) and poplar (Populus) over Agaricomycetes basidiomes biodiversity were studied for one year in an island located in Paraná Delta, Argentina. Dry weight and number of basidiomes were measured. We found 28 species belonging to Agaricomycetes: 26 species of Agaricales, one species of Polyporales and one species of Russulales.

  • 9B Taxonomy to Genus
    Fungus and Lichen Genera in the NEMF Database Taxonomic hierarchy: phyllum > class (-etes) > order (-ales) > family (-ceae) > genus. Total number of genera in the database: 526 Anamorphic fungi (see p. 4), which are disseminated by propagules not formed from cells where meiosis has occurred, are presently not grouped by class, order, etc. Most propagules can be referred to as "conidia," but some are derived from unspecialized vegetative mycelium. A significant number are correlated with fungal states that produce spores derived from cells where meiosis has, or is assumed to have, occurred. These are, where known, members of the ascomycetes or basidiomycetes. However, in many cases, they are still undescribed, unrecognized or poorly known. (Explanation paraphrased from "Dictionary of the Fungi, 9th Edition.") Principal authority for this taxonomy is the Dictionary of the Fungi and its online database, www.indexfungorum.org.

Since that time a further five species have been ascribed to the genus and one similar species within the genus Hebeloma. In total, we have studied seventeen collections that have been assigned to these seven species of Hebelomina. We provide a synopsis of the available knowledge on Hebelomina species and Hebelomina-like collections and their taxonomic placement. Methods – Hebelomina-like collections and type collections of Hebelomina species were examined morphologically and molecularly. Ribosomal RNA sequence data were used to clarify the taxonomic placement of species and collections. Key results – Hebelomina is shown to be polyphyletic and members belong to four different genera (Gymnopilus, Hebeloma, Tubaria and incertae sedis), all members of different families and clades. All but one of the species are pigment-deviant forms of normally brown-spored taxa. The type of the genus had been transferred to Hebeloma, and Vesterholt and co-workers proposed that Hebelomina be given status as a subsection of Hebeloma.

Aanen and co­workers, and using refined morphological and molecular methods we were able to Hebeloma helodes recognize further individual taxa within the section. Fifteen species occurring in Europe are assigned to H. subsect. Hebeloma lutense Denudata. Of these, we describe eight species as new, namely H. aanenii, H. aurantioumbrinum, H. geminatum, Hebeloma minus H. louiseae, H. luteicystidiatum, H. pallidolabiatum, H. perexiguum and H. salicicola. Naucoria bellotiana, a species Hebeloma pusillum very similar to H. alpinum is recombined into Hebeloma. A key to Hebeloma subsect. Denudata is provided. We MCM7 demonstrate that within this subsection there is good overall consistency between morphological, phylogenetic and mitochondrial SSU biological species concepts. In contrast to current opinion, in this group there is little species overlap, particularly Salix when also considering species frequencies, between arctic and alpine floras on one hand and temperate on the other.

  • A Samoan Hebeloma with Phylogenetic Ties to the Western Pacific
    In Press at Mycologia, preliminary version published on October 31, 2014 as doi:10.3852/14-047 Short title: Samoan Hebeloma A Samoan Hebeloma with phylogenetic ties to the western Pacific Bradley R. Kropp1 Biology Department 5305 Old Main Hall, Utah State University, Logan, Utah 84341 Abstract: Hebeloma ifeleletorum is described as a new species from American Samoa. Based on analyses of ITS and combined nLSU-ITS datasets H. ifeleletorum clusters with but is distinct from described species that have been placed in the genus Anamika by some. The phylogenetic relationship of H. ifeleletorum to the genus Anamika from Asia and to other species from Australia and New Caledonia suggests that H. ifeleletorum has origins in the western Pacific. Key words: Agaricales, Anamika, biogeography, Oceania, South Pacific INTRODUCTION The islands of the South Pacific have received scant attention from mycologists. At first glance, these islands seems too small to harbor much fungal diversity. Whereas that might be true for many of the tiny atolls scattered across the Pacific, some of the larger volcanic islands like those of the Samoan Archipelago hold unique and diverse plant communities. As a consequence they potentially also hold diverse fungal communities (Whistler 1992, 1994; Hawksworth 2001; Schmit and Mueller 2007). Thus far some familiar and widespread agarics such as Chlorophyllum molybdites are known from American Samoa along with one recently described species of Inocybe and another new species of Moniliophthora (Kropp and Albee-Scott 2010, 2012). Other than that, the Samoan mycobiota is poorly known and more undescribed species probably will be be uncovered as work on the material collected in these islands continues.
