Not quite animals and certainly not plants, ‘tooth fungi’ are a diverse group of fungi that these fascinating organisms are members of utilise tooth like structures to produce their one of the largest kingdoms on the planet, the spores. Only four of the many genera (groups fungi, essential to the health of all ecological of species) that share this character are of systems and without which around 90% of our conservation concern in Scotland and higher plants and trees would not survive. considered here: Bankera, Hydnellum, Phellodon and Sarcodon. The parts of a fungus that we see above ground are the spore producing structures, Two other stipitate (stalked) genera could (the ‘fruit bodies’) of a much larger organism cause confusion as they have similar that is mostly hidden from sight and macroscopic structures, but these are composed of a branching network of widespread: the Wood Hedgehogs (Hydnum) filamentous cells.This underground network, and Earpick Fungus (Auriscalpium).

Look carefully to find pores rather than teeth below the cap. Why are tooth fungi of conservation concern? Reports produced during the 1980s and 1990s in parts of western and central Europe indicated that fruiting of these fungi was in significant decline and in 1999, concern about their status in the UK led to a grouped Biodiversity Action Plan (BAP) being established.The revised 2007 BAP list includes one additional species bringing the total number of species in the plan to 15, of which 13 occur in Scotland. 8 Perceived threats ● Habitat loss at both macro and micro scales e.g. clear felling, alteration of site conditions by invasive plants such as bracken or rhododendron or loss of suitable, sandy soil microhabitats ● Eutrophication of soils through airborne pollution or agricultural run-off ● The application of fungicides or substances containing nitrogen and / or phosphate A survey plot for tooth fungi © Liz Holden ● Liming alters the soil pH dramatically.Work in Sweden and Germany has found that liming was detrimental to established tough or bitter to be edible although some ectomycorrhizal species (Taylor & Finlay, are collected for dying craft materials. 2003) ● Check whether their presence is already ● Compaction or disturbance of soil by recorded at the site using your own land trampling or machine management records, by checking the ● Lack of awareness of the habitat Fungal Records Database of Britain and requirements of tooth fungi amongst land Ireland through the British Mycological managers Society website or by contacting Plantlife ● Lack of understanding of the ecology and Scotland (contact details on back page).

  • High Diversity of Fungi Recovered from the Roots of Mature Tanoak (Lithocarpus Densiflorus) in Northern California
    1380 High diversity of fungi recovered from the roots of mature tanoak (Lithocarpus densiflorus)in northern California S.E. Bergemann and M. Garbelotto Abstract: We collected mature tanoak (Lithocarpus densiflorus (Hook. & Arn.) Rehder) roots from five stands to charac- terize the relative abundance and taxonomic richness of root-associated fungi. Fungi were identified using polymerase chain reaction (PCR), cloning, and sequencing of internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and 28S rDNA. A total of 382 cloned PCR inserts were successfully sequenced and then classified into 119 taxa. Of these taxa, 82 were basidiomycetes, 33 were ascomycetes, and 4 were zygomycetes. Thirty-one of the ascomycete sequences were identified as Cenococcum geo- philum Fr. with overall richness of 22 ITS types. Other ascomycetes that form mycorrhizal associations were identified in- cluding Wilcoxina and Tuber as well as endophytes such as Lachnum, Cadophora, Phialophora, and Phialocephela. The most abundant mycorrhizal groups were Russulaceae (Lactarius, Macowanites, Russula) and species in the Thelephorales (Bankera, Boletopsis, Hydnellum, Tomentella). Our study demonstrates that tanoak supports a high diversity of ectomycor- rhizal fungi with comparable species richness to that observed in Quercus root communities. Key words: Cenoccocum geophilum, community, dark septate endophytes, ectomycorrhiza, species richness. Re´sume´ : Les auteurs ont pre´leve´ des racines de Lithocarpus densiflorus (Hook. & Arn.)

  • Blood Mushroom
    Bleeding-Tooth Fungus Hydnellum Peckii Genus: Hydnellum Family: Bankeraceae Also known as: Strawberries and Cream Fungus, Bleeding Hydnellum, Red-Juice Tooth, or Devil’s Tooth. If you occasionally enjoy an unusual or weird sight in nature, we have one for you. Bleeding-Tooth Fungus fits this description with its strange colors and textures. This fungus is not toxic, but it is considered inedible because of its extremely bitter taste. Hydnoid species of fungus produce their spores on spines or “teeth”; these are reproductive structures. This fungus “bleeds” bright red droplets down the spines, so that it looks a little like blood against the whitish fungus. This liquid actually has an anticoagulant property similar to the medicine heparin; it keeps human or animal blood from clotting. This fungus turns brown with age. Bloody-Tooth Fungus establishes a relationship with the roots of certain trees, so you will find it lower down on the tree’s trunk. The fungus exchanges the minerals and amino acids it has extracted from the soil with its enzymes, for oxygen and carbon within the host tree that allow the fungus to flourish. It’s a great partnership that benefits both, called symbiosis. The picture above was taken at Kings Corner at the pine trees on the west side of the property. It was taken in early to mid-autumn. This part of the woods is moist enough to grow some really beautiful mushrooms and fungi. Come and see—but don’t touch or destroy. Fungi should be respected for the role they play in the woods ecology.

The mushroom species collected across the ligneous (woody) and terrestrial (soil) habitats were analysed for proximate (moisture, protein, fibre, lipid, ash and carbohydrate), minerals (potassium, sodium, phosphorus, magnesium, calcium, iron and zinc) and vitamins A and C content following standard analytical procedures. Interestingly, all the mushrooms had high moisture (>80.91%) and those harvested from soil debris in the terrestrial habitat contained significantly high protein content (26.80 - 48.68%). Dietary fibre was in the range of 0.20 and 42.37%; low lipid (0.12 - 9.89%) and ash (1.25 - 14.08%) were also recorded. Furthermore, all the samples contained high carbohydrate except Macrolepiota procera (2.01%). Minerals varied across the habitats and ranged as follows: potassium (268.13 - 8972.00 mg. 100 g-1), sodium (89.36 - 425.92 mg. 100 g-1), phosphorus (0.32 - 375.51 mg. 100 g-1), magnesium (9.39 - 19.32 mg. 100 g-1) and calcium (7.98 - 37.82 mg. 100 g-1). Low iron (0.55 - 1.32 mg. 100 g-1) and zinc (2.21 - 4.98 mg. 100 g-1) were obtained.

Cambridge, UK: Cambridge University Press. SYSTEMATICS OF DIVISION BASIDIOMYCOTA 2 THELEPHOROID CLADE This includes the order Thelephorales, a small group of predominantly ectomycorrhizal fungi with variable basidiocarps. The most important genus is Thelephora. T. terrestris produces clusters of fanshaped basidiocarps which are chocolate-brown in colour with a paler margin. They are often formed around the stem of young trees, seemingly ‘choking’ them. Basidiocarps of T. terrestris superficially resemble those of Stereum but are monomitic, composed of clamped generative hyphae only. The basidiospores are brown and warty. Thelephora terrestris fruits in association with coniferous trees growing on light sandy soils and heaths. It isone of a group of early-stage ectomycorrhizal associates of a variety of trees and also forms mycorrhiza with Arbutus menziesii, a member of the Ericaceae (Webster& Weber, 2007). HYMENOCHAETOID CLADE One feature that distinguishes the five Homobasidiomycete clades considered in the previous sections from the remaining three clades is the structure of the parenthesome, i.e. the membranous structure overarching the septal pore. In the five clades already described, the typical homobasidiomycete dolipore with a perforated parenthesome is found, whereas in the hymenochaetoid, cantharelloid and gomphoid_phalloid clades shown in, the parenthesome is generally imperforate. Imperforate parenthesomes are also found in certain Heterobasidiomycetes, namely Dacrymycetales and Auriculariales. The hymenochaetoid clade comprises about 630 species recruited from three families, namely the entire Hymenochaetaceae and parts of Corticiaceae and Polyporaceae (Webster& Weber, 2007).

  • 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.
