E-mail: [email protected] O OTES N Abstract: Entoloma virescens , a rare mushroom with deep blue coloring and cuboid spores, is recorded for the first time in the Caatinga biome in Brazil. The relevance of this finding is that such area is characterized by an atypical environment for the occurrence of species normally considered from temperate and humid tropical regions. The record is fully described and illustrated. Also, a brief analysis of taxonomical features and geographical distribution of the taxon are included.

Key words — Basidiomycota, phylogeny, taxonomy Introduction A morphologically based classification has given rise to two interpretations of the genus Entoloma (Agaricales, Entolomataceae). In one approach, taxa are placed into a single genus and the subgenera are defined mostly by the pileus surface, the pileipellis structure, and the basidiospore size, shape, and angularity (Noordeloos 1992, 2005; Co-David et al.

Key words – Entoloma – taxonomy Introduction Most Entolomataceae (Entoloma s.l.) species are characterized by their peculiar shaped basidiospores that are cuboidal to multiangular, iso- to heterodiametric, and have four to nine angles in profile. The cuboidal basidiospores have six quadrangular facets, comprising a depressed adaxial facet, a dihedral pair of lateral facets meeting in the apico-adaxial region, a large abaxial facet, and a dihedral pair of lateral facets that form the basidiospore base (Pegler & Young 1978, 1979).

Additional photographs 27 2 Introduction The term “waxcap grassland” was coined relatively recently to describe semi-natural grassland habitats containing distinctive assemblages of fungi, including waxcaps. Waxcaps are a group of fungi characterised by having thick waxy brittle gills, often bright colours and a preference for growing in unfertilised pastures or lawns. A waxcap grassland also frequently contains representatives of several other key grassland fungi groups, of which the fairy clubs (Clavariaceae family), earthtongues (Geoglossaceae) and pinkgills belonging to the genus Entoloma are the most prominent. Collectively these groups are often referred to as the CHEGD fungi, an acronymn derived from their initials. Additional grassland fungi representatives from the genera Dermoloma, Porpoloma and Camarophyllopsis are also included as honorary CHEGD fungi. The common factor linking these fungi groups is their requirement for nutrient-poor soil types, i.e. agriculturally unimproved grasslands. Such grasslands have usually received little or no input from modern agricultural nitrogen-based fertilisers and frequently support a semi-natural sward with fine-leaved grass species such as Festuca ovina, Agrostis capillaris and Anthoxanthum odoratum. A well-developed moss layer is almost always present and usually contains the widespread grassland moss species Rhytidiadelphus squarrosus. Waxcap grasslands usually have a well-grazed sward that is maintained by regular livestock browsing or frequent mowing.

Forest types range from rainforest in high rainfall areas to dry sclerophyll forest in low rainfall areas. This paper is a precursor to a monographic treatment of the Entolomataceae of Tasmania to be published in the next few years. Entoloma / Basidiomycetes / Taxonomy / Tasmania / forests / new species Résumé – Dans cet article sont décrites 15 nouvelles espèces d’Entoloma des forêts de Tasmanie et d’Australie, résultat de 10 ans de récoltes intensives. Les types forestiers vont des forêts pluvieuses aux forêts sclérophylles. Cet article constitue une publication préliminaire à un traitement monographique des Entomolaceae de Tasmanie, qui sera publié dans les années à venir. Entoloma / Basidiomycetes / Taxonomie / Tasmanie / forêts / nouvelle espèce INTRODUCTION This is the second paper documenting new species of Entoloma s.l. in Tasmania, the island state of Australia. A description of the physical characteristics of Tasmania and its vegetation was given in Gates and Noordeloos (2007), which documented 33 new species of Entoloma in Tasmania. The present paper adds 15 new species. A preliminary key to the Tasmanian Entoloma species, including the new taxa described in this paper, PDF-s of earlier papers on Entolomataceae of Tasmania, and additional information can be found on the Entoloma website: http://www.entoloma.nl/html/tasmania.html.
