Greece is internationally famous for its long history and beautiful nature, and Halkidiki especially so. There are sandy beaches and pine forests along the coast, with dense oak and beech forests inland, and mountain villages renowned for their mushroom gastronomy. All of these combine to make it a wonderful place for mycologists and for anyone interested in fungi. The excursion day will give you the opportunity to appreciate the wonderful mountain scenery, and we hope you will use your free time to enjoy the area around the Congress venue. Although the climate is hot and dry, Greece hosts an amazing variety of habitats and a wealth of fungi. The Forest Research Institute along with the Department of Biology of the University of Athens and the Agricultural University of Athens has been studying Greek fungi for over 3 decades. In recent years, many new species have been recorded, we have re-introduced cultivation of truffles and an interest in truffle gastronomy, and we are encouraging the cultivation of edible mushrooms to fill a gap in the Greek market. We have also seen an interest in fungi develop in several parts of the country. Six mycological societies have been established, and these organize forays and outdoor mushroom festivals as well as seminars in an effort to promote public interest in fungi. Holding this Congress in Greece will undoubtedly act as a stimulus for more activity of this sort, and we can hope for a growing awareness in Greece of the need for fungal conservation - a very promising trend which should, in the future, result in a greater security for fungal species and their habitats. We thank you for participating in this Congress and, in particular, for choosing to promote your research results and ideas through this congress. By doing so, you have put in place all the prerequisites for a very exciting scientific event. The quality of research, the wide range of topics including both traditional and innovative themes, and the international co-operation so clearly visible in your research teams show that collectively you form an excellent cadre of scientists. We are particularly happy to see many young mycologists, who will tomorrow continue our efforts to study and promote mycology. The Organizing Committee of this Congress has made a special effort to promote important topics which have not received adequate attention in past congresses. These include aeromycology, alien and invasive fungi, insect- fungus associations and conservation, particularly the application to fungi of IUCN criteria. To achieve our aim, we have invited as keynote speakers some of the real stars in world mycology, and we offer all of them warm thanks for accepting our invitation to attend. We would like to acknowledge the help of all those involved in the organization of this congress. We warmly thank Members of the Organizing Committee who, although far away, contributed with ideas and advice, and special mention should be made of the Members of the Scientific Advisory 3 Committee who helped substantially with their long experience and knowledge. The Congress is hosting 230 participants from 37 countries and every inhabited continent - not only Europe, but also Africa, Asia, Australia, North America and South America. It is very encouraging for European mycology that our Congress is being attended by so many mycologists outside Europe, and we believe this is a clear indication that this meeting is maintaining a high scientific standard and that this series of congresses, organized under the auspices of the European Mycological Association , is on the right track. Our meeting also provides an opportunity to review the work of the European Mycological Association . Since the Association was established at the XIV Congress in Crimea in 2003, European mycology has seen many changes. Given its limited resources, the Association has only been able to contribute to some of these, its biggest success since the XV Congress in St Petersburg in 2007 being to play a leading role, through our conservation wing, the European Council for Conservation of Fungi , in founding the International Society for Fungal Conservation , the first society anywhere in the world with the explicit objective of protecting fungi. There is still, however, a long way to go before international organizations, governments and the general public understand that fungi are a separate biological kingdom and very special organisms, that fungi are important in ecosystems, in the food chain, in medicine and in life, that fungi merit conservation just as much as birds, mammals, plants, reptiles and sea creatures. While we believe our association can take great pride in being a parent of this newly created Society, it is clear that the European Mycological Association faces many challenges and will need to adapt if it is to meet them successfully. Our Association, and the new society it helped to create can, however, do nothing without members. Our location today makes it appropriate to recall a famous saying of the Ancient Greeks: «Η δύναµις εν τω πολλώ » (Strength lies in numbers) and, with that in mind, we urge you to join the International Society for Fungal Conservation and to encourage others to join it and the European Mycological Association . What we cannot achieve as individuals we can achieve when we are united. We wish you all success in your scientific goals and a pleasant stay at the village of Neos Marmaras and the Porto Carras Resort.

For bacteria, fungi, oomycetes, and viruses, we illustrate that host range is often an overlapping continuum—more so than the separation of discrete pathotypes—and that host jumps are common. By setting the mechanisms of plant–pathogen in- teractions into the scales of contemporary land use and Earth history, we propose a framework to assess the frontiers of host range for practical appli- cations and research on pathogen evolution.

(Polyporales, Basidiomycota) based on morphological and multigene analyses M.C. Westphalen1,*, M. Rajchenberg2, M. Tomšovský3, A.M. Gugliotta1 Key words Abstract Junghuhnia is a genus of polypores traditionally characterised by a dimitic hyphal system with clamped generative hyphae and presence of encrusted skeletocystidia. However, recent molecular studies revealed that Mycodiversity Junghuhnia is polyphyletic and most of the species cluster with Steccherinum, a morphologically similar genus phylogeny separated only by a hydnoid hymenophore. In the Neotropics, very little is known about the evolutionary relation- Steccherinaceae ships of Junghuhnia s.lat. taxa and very few species have been included in molecular studies. In order to test the taxonomy proper phylogenetic placement of Neotropical species of this group, morphological and molecular analyses were carried out. Specimens were collected in Brazil and used for DNA sequence analyses of the internal transcribed spacer and the large subunit of the nuclear ribosomal RNA gene, the translation elongation factor 1-α gene, and the second largest subunit of RNA polymerase II gene. Herbarium collections, including type specimens, were studied for morphological comparison and to confirm the identity of collections. The molecular data obtained revealed that the studied species are placed in three different genera. Specimens of Junghuhnia carneola represent two distinct species that group in a lineage within the phlebioid clade, separated from Junghuhnia and Steccherinum, which belong to the residual polyporoid clade.

    AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF HAROLD JULIUS LARSEN, JR. for the MASTER OF ARTS (Name) (Degree) in BOTANY presented on it (Major) (Date) Title: ASCOCA.RP DEVELOPMENT IN ANTHRACOBIA MELALOMA. Abstract approved:Redacted for privacy William C. Denison Cultural and developmental characteristics of a collection of Anthracobia melaloma with a brown hymeniurn and a barred exterior appearance were examined.It grows well in culture on CM and CMMY agar media and has a growth rate of 17 mm in 18 hours.It is heterothallic and produces asexual rnultinucleate arthrospores after incubation at 300C or above for several days in succession.These arthrospores germinate readily after transfer to fresh media. Antheridial hyphae and archicarps are produced by both mating types although the negative mating type isolates producemore abun- dant archicarps.Antheridia are indistinguishable from vegetative hyphae until just prior to plasmogamy when they become swollen. Septal pads arise on the septa separating the cells of the trichogyne and ascogonium subsequent to plasmogamy and persist throughout development. The paraphyses, the ectal and medullary excipulum, and the excipular hairs are all derived from the sheathing hyphae. Ascogenous hyphae and asci are derived from the largest cells of the ascogonium. A haploid chromosome number of four is confirmed for the species. Exposure to fluorescent light was unnecessary for apothecial induction, but did enhance apothecial maturation and the production of hyrnenial carotenoid pigments.Constant exposure to light inhibited

    Occurrence of Glomeromycota Species in Aquatic Habitats: a Global Overview

    Occurrence of Glomeromycota species in aquatic habitats: a global overview MARIANA BESSA DE QUEIROZ1, KHADIJA JOBIM1, XOCHITL MARGARITO VISTA1, JULIANA APARECIDA SOUZA LEROY1, STEPHANIA RUTH BASÍLIO SILVA GOMES2, BRUNO TOMIO GOTO3 1 Programa de Pós-Graduação em Sistemática e Evolução, 2 Curso de Ciências Biológicas, and 3 Departamento de Botânica e Zoologia, Universidade Federal do Rio Grande do Norte, Campus Universitário, 59072-970, Natal, RN, Brazil * CORRESPONDENCE TO: [email protected] ABSTRACT — Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) are recognized in terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems. The latter, however, have received little attention from the scientific community and, consequently, are poorly known in terms of occurrence and distribution of this group of fungi. This paper provides a global list on AMF species inhabiting aquatic ecosystems reported so far by scientific community (lotic and lentic freshwater, mangroves, and wetlands). A total of 82 species belonging to 5 orders, 11 families, and 22 genera were reported in 8 countries. Lentic ecosystems have greater species richness. Most studies of the occurrence of AMF in aquatic ecosystems were conducted in the United States and India, which constitute 45% and 78% reports coming from temperate and tropical regions, respectively. KEY WORDS — checklist, flooded areas, mycorrhiza, taxonomy Introduction Aquatic ecosystems comprise about 77% of the planet surface (Rebouças 2006) and encompass a diversity of habitats favorable to many species from marine (ocean), transitional estuaries to continental (wetlands, lentic and lotic) environments (Reddy et al. 2018). Despite this territorial representativeness and biodiversity already recorded, there are gaps when considering certain types of organisms, e.g. fungi. Fungi are considered a common and important component of almost all trophic levels.

Box 85167, NL-3508 AD Utrecht, The Netherlands *Correspondence: Hans-Josef Schroers, [email protected] Abstract: Four Cylindrocarpon or Cylindrocarpon-like taxa isolated from asymptomatic or diseased Vitis vinifera plants in nurseries and vineyards of South Africa, New Zealand, Australia, and France were morphologically and phylogenetically compared with other Neonectria/Cylindrocarpon taxa. Sequences of the partial nuclear large subunit ribosomal DNA (LSU rDNA), internal transcribed spacers 1 and 2 of the rDNA including the 5.8S rDNA gene (ITS), and partial ȕ-tubulin gene introns and exons were used for phylogenetic inference. Neonectria/Cylindrocarpon species clustered in mainly three groups. One monophyletic group consisted of three subclades comprising (i) members of the Neonectria radicicola/Cylindrocarpon destructans complex, which contained strains isolated from grapevines in South Africa, New Zealand, and France; (ii) a Neonectria/Cylindrocarpon species isolated from grapevines in South Africa, Canada (Ontario), Australia (Tasmania), and New Zealand, described here as Cylindrocarpon macrodidymum; and (iii) an assemblage of species closely related to strains identified as Cylindrocarpon cylindroides, the type species of Cylindrocarpon.
