Mycosphere 10(1), 310–489, Doi 10.5943/mycosphere/10/1/7 Abstract Leotiomycetes is regarded as the inoperculate class of discomycetes within the phylum Ascomycota. Taxa are mainly characterized by asci with a simple pore blueing in Melzer’s reagent, although some taxa have lost this character. The monophyly of this class has been verified in several recent molecular studies. However, circumscription of the orders, families and generic level delimitation are still unsettled. This paper provides a modified backbone tree for the class Leotiomycetes based on phylogenetic analysis of combined ITS, LSU, SSU, TEF, and RPB2 loci. In the phylogenetic analysis, Leotiomycetes separates into 19 clades, which can be recognized as orders and order-level clades. -
A Synopsis of the Saddle Fungi (Helvella: Ascomycota) in Europe – Species Delimitation, Taxonomy and Typification
Persoonia 39, 2017: 201–253 ISSN (Online) 1878-9080 www.ingentaconnect.com/content/nhn/pimj RESEARCH ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.3767/persoonia.2017.39.09 A synopsis of the saddle fungi (Helvella: Ascomycota) in Europe – species delimitation, taxonomy and typification I. Skrede1,*, T. Carlsen1, T. Schumacher1 Key words Abstract Helvella is a widespread, speciose genus of large apothecial ascomycetes (Pezizomycete: Pezizales) that are found in terrestrial biomes of the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. This study represents a beginning on molecular phylogeny assessing species limits and applying correct names for Helvella species based on type material and specimens in the Pezizales university herbaria (fungaria) of Copenhagen (C), Harvard (FH) and Oslo (O). We use morphology and phylogenetic systematics evidence from four loci – heat shock protein 90 (hsp), translation elongation factor alpha (tef), RNA polymerase II (rpb2) and the nuclear large subunit ribosomal DNA (LSU) – to assess species boundaries in an expanded sample of Helvella specimens from Europe. We combine the morphological and phylogenetic information from 55 Helvella species from Europe with a small sample of Helvella species from other regions of the world. Little intraspecific variation was detected within the species using these molecular markers; hsp and rpb2 markers provided useful barcodes for species delimitation in this genus, while LSU provided more variable resolution among the pertinent species. We discuss typification issues and identify molecular characteristics for 55 European Helvella species, designate neo- and epitypes for 30 species, and describe seven Helvella species new to science, i.e., H. alpicola, H. alpina, H. carnosa, H. danica, H. nannfeldtii, H. pubescens and H. -

Inventory of Ectomycorrizal Fungi
PINHO-ALM EIDA F., BASÍLIO C., de OLIVEIRA P. - 1999 - Inventory of ectomycorrhizal fungi associated with a "relic" holm-oak tree (Quercus rotundifolia) in two successive winters. Documents Mycologiques 29 (115) : 57 - 68 Inventory of ectomycorrizal fungi associated with a "relic" holm-oak tree (Quercus rotundifolia) in two successive winters Fátima Pinho-Almeida*, Carmo Basílio*, and Paulo de Oliveira ** *Centro de Micologia da Universidade de Lisboa, Rua da Escola Politécnica, 58, P-1250 Lisboa **Departamento de Biologia, Universidade de Évora,Apartado 4, 7002-554 ÉVORA, Portugal Abstract Holm-oak (Quercus rotundifolia), either as forests or as seminatural stands (the “montado” systems), occupies a vast area of land in Portugal, forming an important ecological and economical reserve that remains very little studied. A «relic» tree of this species, left from a montado stand that was replaced by cereals decades ago and now surrounded by Eucalyptus globulus, was visited during two winter carpophore fruiting seasons to scrutinize the ectomycorrhizal species associated with its root system. The sampled sporophores were identified and mapped relative to the oak trunk. Of thirty nine different higher fungi species that have been tentatively identified after four gatherings, twenty nine were problably ectomycorrhizal. Russula spp. (a total of ten species) dominated in the first gathering of each season while Lactarius cremor and Helvella lacunosa dominated in the second of the first and second season, respectively. Practically none of the holm oak-associated mutualistic or facultative species were found in the surrunding eucalyptus plantation. This study will be continued and extended to other locations in the long term, in order to provide data on the ecology of the holm oak ectomycorrhizal associates and to support the molecular identification of fungal isolates obtained from holm oak ectomycorrhizas. -
The Macrofungi Checklist of Liguria (Italy): the Current Status of Surveys
Posted November 2008. Summary published in MYCOTAXON 105: 167–170. 2008.

Bettini 14/11, I16162 Genova, Italy Abstract— The paper is aimed at integrating and updating the first edition of the checklist of Ligurian macrofungi. Data are related to mycological researches carried out mainly in some holm-oak woods through last three years. The new taxa collected amount to 172: 15 of them belonging to Ascomycota and 157 to Basidiomycota. It should be highlighted that 12 taxa have been recorded for the first time in Italy and many species are considered rare or infrequent. Each taxa reported consists of the following items: Latin name, author, habitat, height, and the WGS-84 Global Position System (GPS) coordinates. This work, together with the original Ligurian checklist, represents a contribution to the national checklist. Key words—mycological flora, new reports Introduction Liguria represents a very interesting region from a mycological point of view: macrofungi, directly and not directly correlated to vegetation, are frequent, abundant and quite well distributed among the species. This topic is faced and discussed in Zotti & Orsino (2001). Observations prove an high level of fungal biodiversity (sometimes called “mycodiversity”) since Liguria, though covering only about 2% of the Italian territory, shows more than 36 % of all the species recorded in Italy. -

Pseudotsuga Menziesii)
120 - PART 1. CONSENSUS DOCUMENTS ON BIOLOGY OF TREES Section 4. Douglas-Fir (Pseudotsuga menziesii) 1. Taxonomy Pseudotsuga menziesii (Mirbel) Franco is generally called Douglas-fir (so spelled to maintain its distinction from true firs, the genus Abies). Pseudotsuga Carrière is in the kingdom Plantae, division Pinophyta (traditionally Coniferophyta), class Pinopsida, order Pinales (conifers), and family Pinaceae. The genus Pseudotsuga is most closely related to Larix (larches), as indicated in particular by cone morphology and nuclear, mitochondrial and chloroplast DNA phylogenies (Silen 1978; Wang et al. 2000); both genera also have non-saccate pollen (Owens et al. 1981, 1994). Based on a molecular clock analysis, Larix and Pseudotsuga are estimated to have diverged more than 65 million years ago in the Late Cretaceous to Paleocene (Wang et al. 2000). The earliest known fossil of Pseudotsuga dates from 32 Mya in the Early Oligocene (Schorn and Thompson 1998). Pseudostuga is generally considered to comprise two species native to North America, the widespread Pseudostuga menziesii and the southwestern California endemic P. macrocarpa (Vasey) Mayr (bigcone Douglas-fir), and in eastern Asia comprises three or fewer endemic species in China (Fu et al. 1999) and another in Japan. The taxonomy within the genus is not yet settled, and more species have been described (Farjon 1990). All reported taxa except P. menziesii have a karyotype of 2n = 24, the usual diploid number of chromosomes in Pinaceae, whereas the P. menziesii karyotype is unique with 2n = 26. The two North American species are vegetatively rather similar, but differ markedly in the size of their seeds and seed cones, the latter 4-10 cm long for P. -
Phylogeny and Species Delimitation
VOLUME 5 JUNE 2020 Fungal Systematics and Evolution PAGES 169–186 doi.org/10.3114/fuse.2020.05.11 The Helvella corium species aggregate in Nordic countries – phylogeny and species delimitation S.B. Løken, I. Skrede, T. Schumacher Department of Biosciences, University of Oslo, P.O. Box 1066, 0316 Oslo, Norway *Corresponding author: [email protected] Key words: Abstract: Mycologists have always been curious about the elaborate morphotypes and shapes of species of the genus molecular phylogeny Helvella. The small, black, cupulate Helvella specimens have mostly been assigned to Helvella corium, a broadly defined new taxon morpho-species. Recent phylogenetic analyses, however, have revealed an aggregate of species hidden under this Pezizales name. We performed a multispecies coalescent analysis to re-assess species limits and evolutionary relationships of Stacey the Helvella corium species aggregate in the Nordic countries. To achieve this, we used morphology and phylogenetic evidence from five loci – heat shock protein 90 (hsp), translation elongation factor 1-alpha (tef), RNA polymerase II Corresponding editor: (rpb2), and the 5.8S and large subunit (LSU) of the nuclear ribosomal DNA. All specimens under the name Helvella P.W. Crous corium in the larger university fungaria of Norway, Sweden and Denmark were examined and barcoded, using partial hsp and/or rpb2 as the preferential secondary barcodes in Helvella. Additional fresh specimens were collected in three years (2015–2018) to obtain in vivo morphological data to aid in species discrimination. The H. corium species aggregate consists of seven phylogenetically distinct species, nested in three divergent lineages, i.e. H.
