The Mycophile 58:3 May/June 2018 Volume 58:3 May-June 2018 www.namyco.org Gary Lincoff (1942-2018) by David Rust, NAMA President Society. Predating his involvement with the club was one of its founders: John Cage, who was also instrumental in founding NAMA. When Lincoff discovered mushrooms, he convinced the New York Botanic Garden to allow him to teach classes, a relationship which lasted over 40 years. In 1978, Gary wrote a book with Colorado mycologist and doctor D.H. Mitchel, Toxic and Hallucinogenic Mushroom Poisoning: A Handbook for Physicians and Mushroom Hunters. The book’s popularity led to publication in 1981 of The Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Mushrooms, a watershed moment for people of all interests in the field of mycology. He organized NAMA's “exotic forays” to far places including Siberia, where he learned firsthand about native uses of Amanita muscaria. Gary led forays in New York every week of the year, no matter the weather. He was a constant participant in events across the nation, including the Annual Gary Lincoff Foray, sponsored by the Western Pennsylvania Mushroom Club. Gary was often the Principal Mycologist at the Mid-Atlantic Mushroom Foray. At last year's Telluride Mushroom Festival, participants in the annual parade honored him by coming as “Gary Lincoff ”, incorporating his standard vest and hat into a costume. Gary Lincoff was the author or editor of num- erous books and articles on mushrooms, including his I'm sad to report the passing of Gary Lincoff, recent publication, The Complete Mushroom Hunter, An a driving force in the early years of NAMA, a Illustrated Guide to Finding, Harvesting, and Enjoying Wild great contributor to amateurs, and a constant Mushrooms.

It’s no secret polystyrene is damaging to the environment. But do you know how exactly that is so? According to a fact-sheet provided by Harvard, polystyrene—which is made from Mycelium can be petroleum, a non-sustainable, non-renewable, grown into a mold heavily polluting and fast-disappearing commodity for an exact fit. —is not biodegradable, as it takes thousands of years to break down.

Elliott and Steven L. Stephenson Timber Press (http://www.timberpress.com/) ISBN-13: 978-1-60469-730-8 (5¾ x 8¼ in [210 x 145 mm], Flexibind; 408 pp, 348 color photos) $27.95 Following closely on the heels of Tim Baroni’s Mushrooms of the Northeastern United States and Eastern Canada (reviewed in The Mycophile 58(1), Jan-Feb 2018), Timber Press has released another of its field guides, this time to the mushrooms of the southeastern US. In this fourth mushroom guide, the Press has largely continued the winning combination of its immediate predecessor—the book offers detailed-enough descriptions and nice large photos, while keeping the thickness in line with being a “field” guide and the list price at $27.95. Where it falls short of the Northeast volume is in species and page count—only 330 species and 408 pages, versus about 540 species and 600 pages. Todd Elliott, while rather younger than most field guide authors, has spent many years in the forests of the Southeast. He is a broadly knowledgeable naturalist, not just a mycologist, and an accomplished photographer (and fiddle player—I first encountered Todd as a just barely teenager, performing a bluegrass standard with Reading, and combined Index to both mushroom lyrics at NAMA’s 2007 Pipestem foray in West scientific and common names.

  • Appendix K. Survey and Manage Species Persistence Evaluation
    Appendix K. Survey and Manage Species Persistence Evaluation Establishment of the 95-foot wide construction corridor and TEWAs would likely remove individuals of H. caeruleus and modify microclimate conditions around individuals that are not removed. The removal of forests and host trees and disturbance to soil could negatively affect H. caeruleus in adjacent areas by removing its habitat, disturbing the roots of host trees, and affecting its mycorrhizal association with the trees, potentially affecting site persistence. Restored portions of the corridor and TEWAs would be dominated by early seral vegetation for approximately 30 years, which would result in long-term changes to habitat conditions. A 30-foot wide portion of the corridor would be maintained in low-growing vegetation for pipeline maintenance and would not provide habitat for the species during the life of the project. Hygrophorus caeruleus is not likely to persist at one of the sites in the project area because of the extent of impacts and the proximity of the recorded observation to the corridor. Hygrophorus caeruleus is likely to persist at the remaining three sites in the project area (MP 168.8 and MP 172.4 (north), and MP 172.5-172.7) because the majority of observations within the sites are more than 90 feet from the corridor, where direct effects are not anticipated and indirect effects are unlikely. The site at MP 168.8 is in a forested area on an east-facing slope, and a paved road occurs through the southeast part of the site. Four out of five observations are more than 90 feet southwest of the corridor and are not likely to be directly or indirectly affected by the PCGP Project based on the distance from the corridor, extent of forests surrounding the observations, and proximity to an existing open corridor (the road), indicating the species is likely resilient to edge- related effects at the site.

CATHERINE AIME10, TOLGOR BAU11, TERRY HENKEL12 Abstract The genus Megacollybia, originally proposed for M. (Collybia) platyphylla, has traditional- ly been treated as monotaxic. A phylogenetic reconstruction based on ITS rDNA sequences indicates that several species are involved, with strong phylogeographic signal. Although morphological characters are largely qualitative, examination of basidiomata suggests that specimens included in discrete clades can be distinguished at the species level. On these bases (phylogenetic, morphological), several new taxa are proposed: M. clitocyboidea, M. texensis, M. fusca, M. subfurfuracea, M. rodmani (with f. murina) and M. marginata. Tricholomopsis fallax is transferred to Megacollybia; M. platyphylla remains the type species of the genus but appears to be restricted to Europe, Scandinavia and western and central Russia.

Clavaria diverticulata, Clavulinopsis dimorphica and Clavulinopsis imperata are new species, and Clavaria gibbsiae, Clavaria fumosa and Clavulinopsis helvola are reported for the first time for the country. Illustrations of the basidiomata and the microstructures are provided for all taxa, as well as SEM images of ornamented basidiospores which occur in Clavulinopsis helvola and Ramariopsis kunzei. A key to the Clavariaceae of Brazil is also included. Key words: clavarioid; morphology; taxonomy Introduction Clavariaceae Chevall. (Agaricales) comprises species with various types of basidiomata, including clavate, coralloid, resupinate, pendant-hydnoid and hygrophoroid forms (Hibbett & Thorn 2001, Birkebak et al. 2013). The family was first proposed to accommodate mostly saprophytic club and coral-like fungi that were previously placed in Clavaria Vaill. ex. L., including species that are now in other genera and families, such as Clavulina J.Schröt.

(2005): Central European genera of the Boletaceae and Suillaceae, with notes on their anatomical characters. - Czech Mycol. 57: 1-50. A taxonomic survey of Central European genera of the families Boletaceae and Suillaceae with tubular hymenophores, including the lamellate Phylloporus, is presented. Questions concerning the delimitation of the bolete genera are discussed. Descriptions and keys to the families and genera are based predominantly on anatomical characters of the carpophores. Attention is also paid to peripheral layers of stipe tissue, whose anatomical structure has not been sufficiently studied. The study of these layers, above all of the caulohymenium and the lateral stipe stratum, can provide information important for a better understanding of relationships between taxonomic groups in these families. The presence (or absence) of the caulohymenium with spore-bearing caulobasidia on the stipe surface is here considered as a significant ge­ neric character of boletes. A new combination, Pseudoboletus astraeicola (Imazeki) Šutara, is proposed. Key words: Boletaceae, Suillaceae, generic taxonomy, anatomical characters. Šutara J.

  • Clavaria Miniata) Flame Fungus
    A LITTLE BOOK OF CORALS Pat and Ed Grey Reiner Richter Ramariopsis pulchella Revision 3 (2018) Ramaria flaccida De’ana Williams 2 Introduction This booklet illustrates some of the Coral Fungi found either on FNCV Fungi Forays or recorded for Victoria. Coral fungi are noted for their exquisite colouring – every shade of white, cream, grey, blue, purple, orange and red - found across the range of species. Each description page consists of a photo (usually taken by a group member) and brief notes to aid identification. The corals are listed alphabetically by genus and species and a common name has been included. In this revision five species have been added: Clavicorona taxophila, Clavulina tasmanica, Ramaria pyrispora, R. watlingii and R. samuelsii. A field description sheet is available as a separate PDF. Coral Fungi are so-called because the fruit-bodies resemble marine corals. Some have intricate branching, while others are bushier with ‘florets’ like a cauliflower or broccolini. They also include those species that have simple, club-shaped fruit-bodies. Unlike fungi such as Agarics that have gills and Boletes that have pores, the fertile surface bearing the spores of coral fungi is the external surface of the upper branches. All species of Artomyces, Clavaria, Clavulina, Clavulinopsis, Multiclavula, Ramariopsis and Tremellodendropsis have a white spore print while Ramaria species have a yellow to yellow-brown spore print, which is sometimes seen when the mature spores dust the branches. Most species grow on the ground except for two Peppery Corals Artomyces species and Ramaria ochracea that grow on fallen wood. Ramaria filicicola grows on woody litter and Tree-fern stems.

These sequestrate, hypogeous fungi were collected Boletineae in Guyana under closed canopy tropical forests in association with ectomycorrhizal (ECM) host tree genera Caesalpinioideae Dicymbe (Fabaceae subfam. Caesalpinioideae), Aldina (Fabaceae subfam. Papilionoideae), and Pakaraimaea Dipterocarpaceae (Dipterocarpaceae). Molecular data place these fungi in Boletaceae (Boletales, Agaricomycetes, Basidiomycota) ectomycorrhizal fungi and inform their relationships to other known epigeous and sequestrate taxa within that family. Macro- and gasteroid fungi micromorphological characters, habitat, and multi-locus DNA sequence data are provided for each new taxon. Guiana Shield Unique morphological features and a molecular phylogenetic analysis of 185 taxa across the order Boletales justify the recognition of the three new genera.
