KARSTEN, type studies, taxonomy. - Finland. Abstract: Original material o f taxa described by P. A. KARSTEN supposed belonging to the present day concept o f Psathyrella (Agaricales ) was studied from Helsinki (H). Two new combinations are proposed: Psalhyrella solitaria and Psathyrella tenuicula. The former offers an earlier name for P. rannochii and the latter for P. minima and P. berolinense. Stropharia caput-medusae var. alba is a synonym of Psathyrella caput-medusae. Psilocybe gilletii is Hypholoma elongalum. Psathyra pallens and Psathyrella subatomata are shown to be synonyms of Psathyrella corrugis. A study o f the type of material o f P squamifera confirmed the synonymy to P. microrhiza. The name Psathyrella artemisiae has eironeously been used for P. squamosa. The vague protologue and scanty type material offered no solid interpretation for Psathyra staminoides. Hypholoma subpapillatum is a synonym o f Psathyrella piluliförmis. Psathyrella subrosea is a synonym o f P. microrhiza. The two syntypes of Psathyra obtusata var. subumbrina contain three taxa one o f which is an unknown European species o f Psathyrella. Psilocybe tuberosa is shown to be a synonym o f Psalhyrella candolleana. Original material was not found for Psathyra cernua var. albicans, Psathyrella subatrata subsp. diminuta, Psathyra ombrophila, P subnuda and Hypholoma sublentum. The typification o f most o f the taxa is clarified. Zusammenfassung: Aus dem Herbarium in Helsinki (H) wurde Originalmaterial jener von P A. KARSTEN beschriebenen Taxa untersucht, die vermutlich in das heutige Gattungskonzept von Psathyrella (Agaricales ) passen. Zwei Neukombinationen werden vorgeschlagen:Psathyrella solitaria und Psathyrella tenuicula. Erstere ist ein früherer Name für P. rannochii und letztere flir P. minima und P berolinense. Stropharia caput-medusae var. alba ist ein Synonym von Psathyrella caput- medusae. Psilocybe gilletii ist Hypholoma elongatum. Psathyra pallens und Psathyrella subatomata sind Synonyme von Psalhyrella corrugis. Die Untersuchung des Typusmaterials von P. squamifera bestätigte die Synonymie zu P. microrhiza. Der Name Psathyrella artemisiae wurde falsch angewandt für P squamosa. Der vage Protolog und das karge Typusmaterial boten keine sichere Interpretation für Psathyra staminoides. Hypholoma subpapillatum ist ein Synonym von Psathyrella piluliförmis. Psathyrella subrosea ist ein Synonym von P. microrhiza. Die zwei Syntypen von Psathyra obtusata var. subumbrina enthalten drei Taxa, wovon eines eine unbekannte europäischePsathyrella- Art ist. Psilocybe tuberosa ist ein Synonym von Psathyrella candolleana. Von Psathyra cernua var. albicans, Psathyrella subatrata subsp. diminuta, Psathyra ombrophila, P. subnuda und Hypholoma sublentum wurde kein Typusmaterial gefunden. Die Typifizierung der meisten Arten wird geklärt. P A. Karsten placed psathyrelloid agarics in the following genera: Psathyra, Psa­ thyrella, Hypholoma, Pannucia, Psilocybe and Stropharia. Today, the taxa have been joined in the single genus Psathyrella (SINGER 1951). KARSTEN's psathyrelloid taxa have largely been neglected by later workers. This is partly due to the fact, that many of 132 L.©Österreichische ÖRSTADIUS Mykologische & S. HUHTINEN: Gesellschaft, Austria,The psathyrelloid download unter www.biologiezentrum.at taxa described by P A. KARSTEN the type specimens were "hidden" under aliases in his herbarium (in H). Taxonomy, nomenclature and typification of the taxa is now clarified. In contrast to most treatments ofK a r s t e n 's taxa, the reader will not find many holotype specimens cited. KARSTEN very seldom used definite words in his protologue such as "semel" or "unica vice lecta" Only when the protologue cites one element this can be taken as holotype. A great majority ofK a r s t e n 's specimen citations are too vague to include only one element. Therefore, even if only one specimen with matching annotations exists in H, it is to be taken as syntype, not holotype. Such specimens are here selected as lectotypes.

In this treatment Ka r s t e n refers to the other one with "Hattsv " His intention of the place of publication is thus obvious. As it is not known which of the two papers ap- peared first in 1882, K a r s t e n 's intention is followed here. The two diagnoses are al­ most identical, only the citation of material differs. In "Hattsvampar"(K a r s t e n 1882 a) the material is cited from Mustiala and the ecology is given as "decayed wood of Betula" In "Symbolae" there is no reference to material. The ecology is given as "caespitose" The placement at the species level was proposed by K a r s t e n first in Hedwigia (K a r s t e n 1893 a, as "species est propria"). This rank change was cited in anew the same year (K a r s t e n 1893 b) with the correct page reference to Hedwigia. The protologue cites collection locality as "Mustiala", whereas specimen no. 4494 was collected from Saloistenjärvi. This locality is often cited byK a r s t e n as "Salois" in various protologues. The specimen is, however, cited type material. It has spore annotations by KARSTEN matching exactly those in the original diagnosis. Furthermore. Ka r s t e n published the variety in a treatment of Fennoscandian fungi where localities around Mustiala were all cited only as "Mustiala" The more accurate locality citations are used in K a r s t e n 's smaller papers. The microscopical examination of no. 4494 gave the following result: Spores 9- 10.5 x 4.5-5.5 (im, mean-value 9.8 x 5.0 (im, elliptical, fusiform, in profile flattened on one side, amygdaliform, germ-pore absent, wall thick, apiculus prominent, in water red (MUNSELL 2,5 YR 5/8).

Ric k e n K a r s t e n published the species on two occasions in 1879 ln the treatment in "Symbolae" (KARSTEN 1879 a), however, the species is introduced with a "n. sp." added, whereas in "Hattsvampar" (K a r s t e n 1879 b) this expression is lacking. Hence, the obvious place of publication is "Symbolae" The date in no. 1522 differs with one day from the date mentioned in the protologue. The annotations on spore characteris- tics on the convolute are a perfect match to those in the diagnosis. Judging from other specimens in H, Ka r s t e n seems to have collected at Haarankorpi only during 28th of September, not on the 29th. Specimen no. 1522 is thus not to be considered as neotype.

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.

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.

Based on ten morphological characteristics, the samples were assigned to fifteen groups, each representing a distinct species. Eleven groups were identified to species level, while the remaining four could not, and it is suggested that they are Agaricales sensu Lato. The most predominant species was Chlorophylum molybdites (15 samples). The identified species belonged to three orders: Agaricales, Phallales and Polyporales. Agaricales was represented by four families (Psathyrellaceae, Lepiotaceae, Podaxaceae and Amanitaceae), but Phallales and Polyporales were represented by only one family each (Phallaceae and Hymenochaetaceae, respectively), each of which included a single species. The genetic diversity of the samples was studied by the RAPD-PCR technique, using six random 10-nucleotide primers. Three of the primers (OPL3, OPL8 and OPQ1) worked on fifty-two of the fifty-six samples and gave a total of 140 bands.

These include the uplands of the Clees, Stiperstones and Long Mynd with their associated heath land, forested land such as the Forest of Wyre and the Mortimer Forest, the lowland bogs and meres in the north of the county, and agricultural land scattered with small woodlands and copses. This diversity makes Shropshire unique. The Shropshire Fungus Group has been in existence for 18 years. (Inaugural meeting 6th December 1992. The aim was to produce a fungus flora for the county. This aim has not yet been realised for a number of reasons, chief amongst these are manpower and cost. The group has however collected many records by trawling the archives, contributions from interested individuals/groups, and by field meetings. It is these records that are published here. The first Shropshire checklist was published in 1997. Many more records have now been added and nearly 40,000 of these have now been added to the national British Mycological Society’s database, the Fungus Record Database for Britain and Ireland (FRDBI). During this ten year period molecular biology, i.e. DNA analysis has been applied to fungal classification.

  • Bulk Isolation of Basidiospores from Wild Mushrooms by Electrostatic Attraction with Low Risk of Microbial Contaminations Kiran Lakkireddy1,2 and Ursula Kües1,2*
    Lakkireddy and Kües AMB Expr (2017) 7:28 DOI 10.1186/s13568-017-0326-0 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Open Access Bulk isolation of basidiospores from wild mushrooms by electrostatic attraction with low risk of microbial contaminations Kiran Lakkireddy1,2 and Ursula Kües1,2* Abstract The basidiospores of most Agaricomycetes are ballistospores. They are propelled off from their basidia at maturity when Buller’s drop develops at high humidity at the hilar spore appendix and fuses with a liquid film formed on the adaxial side of the spore. Spores are catapulted into the free air space between hymenia and fall then out of the mushroom’s cap by gravity. Here we show for 66 different species that ballistospores from mushrooms can be attracted against gravity to electrostatic charged plastic surfaces. Charges on basidiospores can influence this effect. We used this feature to selectively collect basidiospores in sterile plastic Petri-dish lids from mushrooms which were positioned upside-down onto wet paper tissues for spore release into the air. Bulks of 104 to >107 spores were obtained overnight in the plastic lids above the reversed fruiting bodies, between 104 and 106 spores already after 2–4 h incubation. In plating tests on agar medium, we rarely observed in the harvested spore solutions contamina- tions by other fungi (mostly none to up to in 10% of samples in different test series) and infrequently by bacteria (in between 0 and 22% of samples of test series) which could mostly be suppressed by bactericides. We thus show that it is possible to obtain clean basidiospore samples from wild mushrooms.

  • Checklist of the Argentine Agaricales 2. Coprinaceae and Strophariaceae
    Checklist of the Argentine Agaricales 2. Coprinaceae and Strophariaceae 1 2* N. NIVEIRO & E. ALBERTÓ 1Instituto de Botánica del Nordeste (UNNE-CONICET). 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 checklist of species belonging to the families Coprinaceae and Strophariaceae was made for Argentina. The list includes all species published till year 2011. Twenty-one genera and 251 species were recorded, 121 species from the family Coprinaceae and 130 from Strophariaceae. KEY WORDS—Agaricomycetes, Coprinus, Psathyrella, Psilocybe, Stropharia Introduction This is the second checklist of the Argentine Agaricales. Previous one considered the families Amanitaceae, Pluteaceae and Hygrophoraceae (Niveiro & Albertó, 2012). Argentina is located in southern South America, between 21° and 55° S and 53° and 73° W, covering 3.7 million of km². Due to the large size of the country, Argentina has a wide variety of climates (Niveiro & Albertó, 2012). The incidence of moist winds coming from the oceans, the Atlantic in the north and the Pacific in the south, together with different soil types, make possible the existence of many types of vegetation adapted to different climatic conditions (Brown et al., 2006). Mycologists who studied the Agaricales from Argentina during the last century were reviewed by Niveiro & Albertó (2012). It is considered that the knowledge of the group is still incomplete, since many geographic areas in Argentina have not been studied as yet. The checklist provided here establishes a baseline of knowledge about the diversity of species described from Coprinaceae and Strophariaceae families in Argentina, and serves as a resource for future studies of mushroom biodiversity.

  • Diversity of Macromycetes in the Botanical Garden “Jevremovac” in Belgrade
    40 (2): (2016) 249-259 Original Scientific Paper Diversity of macromycetes in the Botanical Garden “Jevremovac” in Belgrade Jelena Vukojević✳, Ibrahim Hadžić, Aleksandar Knežević, Mirjana Stajić, Ivan Milovanović and Jasmina Ćilerdžić Faculty of Biology, University of Belgrade, Takovska 43, 11000 Belgrade, Serbia ABSTRACT: At locations in the outdoor area and in the greenhouse of the Botanical Garden “Jevremovac”, a total of 124 macromycetes species were noted, among which 22 species were recorded for the first time in Serbia. Most of the species belong to the phylum Basidiomycota (113) and only 11 to the phylum Ascomycota. Saprobes are dominant with 81.5%, 45.2% being lignicolous and 36.3% are terricolous. Parasitic species are represented with 13.7% and mycorrhizal species with 4.8%. Inedible species are dominant (70 species), 34 species are edible, five are conditionally edible, eight are poisonous and one is hallucinogenic (Psilocybe cubensis). A significant number of representatives belong to the category of medicinal species. These species have been used for thousands of years in traditional medicine of Far Eastern nations. Current studies confirm and explain knowledge gained by experience and reveal new species which produce biologically active compounds with anti-microbial, antioxidative, genoprotective and anticancer properties. Among species collected in the Botanical Garden “Jevremovac”, those medically significant are: Armillaria mellea, Auricularia auricula.-judae, Laetiporus sulphureus, Pleurotus ostreatus, Schizophyllum commune, Trametes versicolor, Ganoderma applanatum, Flammulina velutipes and Inonotus hispidus. Some of the found species, such as T. versicolor and P. ostreatus, also have the ability to degrade highly toxic phenolic compounds and can be used in ecologically and economically justifiable soil remediation.
