    RESPONSE OF ECTOMYCORRHIZAL FUNGAL FRUITING TO NITROGEN AND PHOSPHORUS ADDITIONS IN BARTLETT EXPERIMENTAL FOREST, NEW HAMPSHIRE By Claudia N. Victoroff A thesis submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the Master of Science Degree State University of New York College of Environmental Science and Forestry Syracuse, New York Department of Environmental and Forest Biology Approved by: Thomas R. Horton, Major Professor Theodore Dibble, Examining Committee Chairperson Melissa Fierke, Department Chairperson S. Scott Shannon, Dean, the Graduate School Acknowledgments Throughout the course of my master’s I have benefitted from the support of my lab mates, friends, and loved ones. I owe so much to my mentor Dr. Tom Horton. Tom has helped me to grow into a scientist. I entered ESF the summer after finishing my undergraduate and Tom’s guidance has helped me to develop away from insecurity and (closer) to self-directedness. The lab culture that Tom inspires is a cooperative and productive work environment and I am so thankful that I was able to be a part of it. The ESF community is unique. The curious minds of the undergraduates have inspired me, and the expertise of the faculty has challenged and motivated me. I have been supported through teaching assistantships by Tom (EFB 320 General Ecology Laboratory) and by Dr. Stewart Diemont (EFB 120 Global Environments Lecture). Tom and Stew have been excellent role models for me to adapt my own teaching style from. I am thankful for my graduate committee. Together my committee has directed my research and each member has benefitted my academic career significantly.

Macrofungi from Abies cephalonica forests and other intermixed tree species (Oxya Mt., central Greece) 1 2 1 D.M. DIMOU *, G.I. ZERVAKIS & E. POLEMIS * [email protected] 1Agricultural University of Athens, Lab. of General & Agricultural Microbiology, Iera Odos 75, GR-11855 Athens, Greece 2 [email protected] National Agricultural Research Foundation, Institute of Environmental Biotechnology, Lakonikis 87, GR-24100 Kalamata, Greece Abstract — In the course of a nine-year inventory in Mt. Oxya (central Greece) fir forests, a total of 358 taxa of macromycetes, belonging in 149 genera, have been recorded. Ninety eight taxa constitute new records, and five of them are first reports for the respective genera (Athelopsis, Crustoderma, Lentaria, Protodontia, Urnula). One hundred and one records for habitat/host/substrate are new for Greece, while some of these associations are reported for the first time in literature. Key words — biodiversity, macromycetes, fir, Mediterranean region, mushrooms Introduction The mycobiota of Greece was until recently poorly investigated since very few mycologists were active in the fields of fungal biodiversity, taxonomy and systematic. Until the end of ’90s, less than 1.000 species of macromycetes occurring in Greece had been reported by Greek and foreign researchers. Practically no collaboration existed between the scientific community and the rather few amateurs, who were active in this domain, and thus useful information that could be accumulated remained unexploited. Until then, published data were fragmentary in spatial, temporal and ecological terms. The authors introduced a different concept in their methodology, which was based on a long-term investigation of selected ecosystems and monitoring-inventorying of macrofungi throughout the year and for a period of usually 5-8 years.

  • MUSHROOMS of the OTTAWA NATIONAL FOREST Compiled By
    MUSHROOMS OF THE OTTAWA NATIONAL FOREST Compiled by Dana L. Richter, School of Forest Resources and Environmental Science, Michigan Technological University, Houghton, MI for Ottawa National Forest, Ironwood, MI March, 2011 Introduction There are many thousands of fungi in the Ottawa National Forest filling every possible niche imaginable. A remarkable feature of the fungi is that they are ubiquitous! The mushroom is the large spore-producing structure made by certain fungi. Only a relatively small number of all the fungi in the Ottawa forest ecosystem make mushrooms. Some are distinctive and easily identifiable, while others are cryptic and require microscopic and chemical analyses to accurately name. This is a list of some of the most common and obvious mushrooms that can be found in the Ottawa National Forest, including a few that are uncommon or relatively rare. The mushrooms considered here are within the phyla Ascomycetes – the morel and cup fungi, and Basidiomycetes – the toadstool and shelf-like fungi. There are perhaps 2000 to 3000 mushrooms in the Ottawa, and this is simply a guess, since many species have yet to be discovered or named. This number is based on lists of fungi compiled in areas such as the Huron Mountains of northern Michigan (Richter 2008) and in the state of Wisconsin (Parker 2006). The list contains 227 species from several authoritative sources and from the author’s experience teaching, studying and collecting mushrooms in the northern Great Lakes States for the past thirty years. Although comments on edibility of certain species are given, the author neither endorses nor encourages the eating of wild mushrooms except with extreme caution and with the awareness that some mushrooms may cause life-threatening illness or even death.

Hill, CF, Management Forestry Program Supervisor, MA Department of Conservation and Recreation As most are aware the Massachusetts State Lands Forest Management Pro- gram recently went through a significant review of forestry practices which re- sulted in changes to landscape zoning, public outreach policy and approaches to silviculture. After a three year hiatus from active forest management the Bureau of Forestry successfully sold 5 of 7 timber sales offered last fall and this winter. The silviculture of the projects ranged from irregular shelterwood and uneven aged management in northern hardwoods and mixed hardwoods to ecological restoration on pitch pine/scrub oak sites through the removal of red pine plantations. The Bureau has proposed an additional 5 projects which will result in timber sale offerings early this summer. The Water Supply Pro- tection Division is also on the cusp of resuming their forest management pro- gram with timber sale offerings in March.

  • The Largest Type Study of <I>Agaricales</I
    Persoonia 33, 2014: 98–140 www.ingentaconnect.com/content/nhn/pimj RESEARCH ARTICLE http://dx.doi.org/10.3767/003158514X684681 The largest type study of Agaricales species to date: bringing identification and nomenclature of Phlegmacium (Cortinarius) into the DNA era K. Liimatainen1, T. Niskanen1, B. Dima!, I. Kytövuori2, J.F. Ammirati3, T.G. Frøslev4 Key words Abstract Cortinarius is a species-rich and morphologically challenging genus with a cosmopolitan distribution. Many names have not been used consistently and in some instances the same species has been described two or Basidiomycota more times under separate names. This study focuses on subg. Phlegmacium as traditionally defined and includes diversity species from boreal and temperate areas of the northern hemisphere. Our goals for this project were to: i) study DNA barcoding type material to determine which species already have been described; ii) stabilize the use of Friesian and other ITS older names by choosing a neo- or epitype; iii) describe new species that were discovered during the process of taxonomy studying specimens; and iv) establish an accurate ITS barcoding database for Phlegmacium species. A total of 236 typification types representing 154 species were studied. Of these 114 species are described only once whereas 40 species had one ore more synonyms. Of the names studied only 61 were currently represented in GenBank. Neotypes are proposed for 21 species, and epitypes are designated for three species. In addition, 20 new species are described and six new combinations made. As a consequence ITS barcodes for 175 Cortinarius species are released.
