  • A New Section and Two New Species of Podaxis (Gasteromycetes) from South Africa
    S.Afr.l. Bot., 1989,55(2): 159-164 159 A new section and two new species of Podaxis (Gasteromycetes) from South Africa J.J.R. de Villiers, A. Eicker* and G.C.A. van der Westhuizen Department of Botany, University of Pretoria, Pretoria, 0001 Republic of South Africa Accepted 7 September /988 Podaxis africana De Villiers, Eicker & van der Westhuizen and P. rugospora De Villiers, Eicker & van der Westhuizen, two new species from Transvaal are described and illustrated. A new section, Umbricorticalis De Villiers, Eicker & van der Westhuizen is proposed in the genus Podaxis to accommodate P. africana. Morphologically P. africana resembles P. microporus McKnight but it is distinguished by its large globose, subglobose to broadly ovoid spores, the absence of a 'pin prick' pore structure, the black gleba, and the deep orange to strong brown inner cortex of the stipe. P. rugospora is allied to P. pistillaris (L. ex Pers.) Fr. emend. Morse from which it differs by reason of the hyaline, narrow, flattened, occasionally septate capillitium threads and the grayish-olive, light olive or light to moderate yellowish-brown gleba. The most remarkable character of these new species is the rugose spores. Podaxis africana De Villiers, Eicker & van der Westhuizen en P. rugospora De Villiers, Eicker & van der Westhuizen, twee nuwe spesies van Transvaal word beskryf en ge·illustreer. 'n Nuwe seksie, Umbricorticalis De Villiers, Eicker & van der Westhuizen in die genus Podaxis word voorgestel om P. africana te akkommodeer. Morfologies toon P. africana 'n ooreenkoms met P. microporus McKnight maar word deur die groot bolvormige, subbolvormige tot bykans eiervormige spore, die afwesigheid van 'n 'naaldprik'-porie­ struktuur, die swart gleba en die diep oranje tot sterk bruin binneste korteks van die stipe.

ISSN (online) 2154-8889 MYCOTAXON http://dx.doi.org/10.5248/123.91 Volume 123, pp. 91–93 January–March 2013 Eight new combinations and a replacement name in the genus Hygrocybe Alan E. Bessette*, Arleen R. Bessette, William C. Roody & Walter E. Sturgeon * Correspondence to: [email protected] Abstract — Eight invalidly published combinations and one nomen novum in the genus Hygrocybe are validated in this paper. Key words — Hygrophorus, valid publication In Waxcap Mushrooms of Eastern North America (Bessette et al. 2012), eleven Hygrophorus names were invalidly transferred into the genus Hygrocybe because they lacked full and direct basionym references. Three of these eleven taxa (H. murina, H. conica var. atrosanguinea and H. pratensis var. robusta) had previously been validly combined by Malloch (2010). The remaining eight combinations are validated here. According to current interpretations of Hygrocybe by Bon (1976), Pegler (1983), Singer (1986), Young & Wood (1997), Young (2005), and Boertmann (2010), all these taxa should be transferred based on both their macroscopic characters and micromorphology. It should, however, be noted that the genus Hygrocybe currently is under revision based on molecular information, and that significant changes in the taxonomy are expected (Lodge et al. 2006, Boertmann 2010). Each of the taxa for which we propose a new combination has slender basidia, parallel to interwoven hymenophoral trama, and a pileipellis that is a cutis. Several of these taxa have been cited as Hygrocybe species in mushroom club newsletters and species lists as well as in the literature (e.g., Arora 1986, Barron 1999) without a valid combination (Boertmann 2002).

Based on ten morphological characteristics, the samples were assigned to fifteen groups, each representing a distinct species. Eleven groups were identified to species level, while the remaining four could not, and it is suggested that they are Agaricales sensu Lato. The most predominant species was Chlorophylum molybdites (15 samples). The identified species belonged to three orders: Agaricales, Phallales and Polyporales. Agaricales was represented by four families (Psathyrellaceae, Lepiotaceae, Podaxaceae and Amanitaceae), but Phallales and Polyporales were represented by only one family each (Phallaceae and Hymenochaetaceae, respectively), each of which included a single species. The genetic diversity of the samples was studied by the RAPD-PCR technique, using six random 10-nucleotide primers. Three of the primers (OPL3, OPL8 and OPQ1) worked on fifty-two of the fifty-six samples and gave a total of 140 bands.

  • A Preliminary Checklist of Arizona Macrofungi
    A PRELIMINARY CHECKLIST OF ARIZONA MACROFUNGI Scott T. Bates School of Life Sciences Arizona State University PO Box 874601 Tempe, AZ 85287-4601 ABSTRACT A checklist of 1290 species of nonlichenized ascomycetaceous, basidiomycetaceous, and zygomycetaceous macrofungi is presented for the state of Arizona. The checklist was compiled from records of Arizona fungi in scientific publications or herbarium databases. Additional records were obtained from a physical search of herbarium specimens in the University of Arizona’s Robert L. Gilbertson Mycological Herbarium and of the author’s personal herbarium. This publication represents the first comprehensive checklist of macrofungi for Arizona. In all probability, the checklist is far from complete as new species await discovery and some of the species listed are in need of taxonomic revision. The data presented here serve as a baseline for future studies related to fungal biodiversity in Arizona and can contribute to state or national inventories of biota. INTRODUCTION Arizona is a state noted for the diversity of its biotic communities (Brown 1994). Boreal forests found at high altitudes, the ‘Sky Islands’ prevalent in the southern parts of the state, and ponderosa pine (Pinus ponderosa P.& C. Lawson) forests that are widespread in Arizona, all provide rich habitats that sustain numerous species of macrofungi. Even xeric biomes, such as desertscrub and semidesert- grasslands, support a unique mycota, which include rare species such as Itajahya galericulata A. Møller (Long & Stouffer 1943b, Fig. 2c). Although checklists for some groups of fungi present in the state have been published previously (e.g., Gilbertson & Budington 1970, Gilbertson et al. 1974, Gilbertson & Bigelow 1998, Fogel & States 2002), this checklist represents the first comprehensive listing of all macrofungi in the kingdom Eumycota (Fungi) that are known from Arizona.

For optimising the production of A. blazei in terms of yield (Y%) and biological efficiency (BE%), adjustments to the composition of the substrate were evaluated in a 2 5 experimental design. The following components were tested in relation to % of substrate dry mass: urea (1 and 10%), rice bran (10 or 20%) or ammonium sulphate (0 or 10%), inoculum (10 or 20%) and the casing material (subsoil or burned rice husks). The best results (79.71 Y% and 6.73 BE%) were found when the substrate containing 10% of rice bran, without ammonium sulphate, inoculated with 20% and covered with subsoil was used.

The fruiting bodies and spores showed variations however, match with the description of Podaxis pistillaris. This is first report of the fungus from Madhya Pradesh, India. Key Words: Comatus, Agaricaceae, Lycoperdaceae, Food, Medicinal INTRODUCTION Sihora road railway station is situated in Jabalpur district of Madhya Pradesh about 17 kilometers south west from Karaundi the center point of India. Its geographical co-ordinates are 230 29’ North and 800 70’ East. Some cylindrical fruiting bodies were incidentally seen on disturbed soil of filling of a pond beside the road going towards Khitola bus stand from railway station. The fungus was initially identified as Coprinus comatus (O. F. Mull.) Pers. Later it was identified as Podaxis pistillaris (L. Pers.) Morse.This fungus is commonly known as False Shaggy Mane due to its resemblance with C. comatus. This species has previously been described and synonymised by few workers (Massee, 1890; Morse, 1933, 1941; Keirle et al., 2004; Drechsler- Santosh , 2008). Podaxis pistillaris earlier has been reported from various parts of India (Bilgrami et al., 1979,81,1991; Jamaluddin et al., 2004).
