Species composition and species Macrofungal diversity of macrofungi were examined in 7 Tehsils of Gorakhpur district. The fruiting diversity , Climatic condition , bodies of macrofungi were collected between 2014-2016 during different seasons, but Gorakhpur maximum occurrence of macrofungi was found in rainy season. During extensive field survey 30 macrofungal samples were collected and identified which belonging to 23 Article Info genera and 16 families on the basis of their morphological and microscopic study. These macrofungi were observed in humid, calcareous, sandy soil and on wood log, wood, leaf Accepted: litter, leaf heaps, troops of rotten wood, decaying wood log as well as on termite nests. The 07 January 2019 Available Online: collected macrofungi were well photographed, preserved in dry as well as in wet condition for the further study. Present study indicates that the variation in climatic condition of 10 February 2019 Gorakhpur made it possible for the prosperity and unevenness of macrofungi in this area. Introduction Andrew et al., 2013). Macrofungi studies have long been of interest to scientists as well Fungi are a group of heterotrophic organisms as the public due to their important roles in that consist of a thallus, an assemblage of human life, such as their beneficial and vegetative cells not forming tissue in the harmful effects on forests, their use in the functional sense, and therefore not having pharmacology industry, and the mass differentiated organs. They are one of the production of cultivated fungi in the food most diverse groups of organisms on earth, industry, as well as their vital role in and constitute a significant part of terrestrial biodegradation (Stojchev et al., 1998). ecosystems.

They are just some of the neatest things; except when I’m forced to play host. Parasites come in all sorts of shapes and sizes and it is thought that Ievery species on earth has a parasite of some sort.

I can talk about parasites all day (yes, that parasitology class in college right before lunch three times a week left quite the impression), but I will focus on just one this time. Mycoparasites are fungi that parasitize other fungi and they commonly occur in the mushroom world. Typically the more colorful or pronounced ones get more noticed.

  • Peziza and Pezizaceae Inferred from Multiple Nuclear Genes: RPB2, -Tubulin, and LSU Rdna
    Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution 36 (2005) 1–23 www.elsevier.com/locate/ympev Evolutionary relationships of the cup-fungus genus Peziza and Pezizaceae inferred from multiple nuclear genes: RPB2, -tubulin, and LSU rDNA Karen Hansen ¤, Katherine F. LoBuglio, Donald H. PWster Harvard University Herbaria, Cambridge, MA 02138, USA Received 5 May 2004; revised 17 December 2004 Available online 22 April 2005 Abstract To provide a robust phylogeny of Pezizaceae, partial sequences from two nuclear protein-coding genes, RPB2 (encoding the sec- ond largest subunit of RNA polymerase II) and -tubulin, were obtained from 69 and 72 specimens, respectively, to analyze with nuclear ribosomal large subunit RNA gene sequences (LSU). The three-gene data set includes 32 species of Peziza, and 27 species from nine additional epigeous and six hypogeous (truZe) pezizaceous genera. Analyses of the combined LSU, RPB2, and -tubulin data set using parsimony, maximum likelihood, and Bayesian approaches identify 14 Wne-scale lineages within Pezizaceae. Species of Peziza occur in eight of the lineages, spread among other genera of the family, conWrming the non-monophyly of the genus. Although parsimony analyses of the three-gene data set produced a nearly completely resolved strict consensus tree, with increased conWdence, relationships between the lineages are still resolved with mostly weak bootstrap support. Bayesian analyses of the three- gene data, however, show support for several more inclusive clades, mostly congruent with Bayesian analyses of RPB2. No strongly supported incongruence was found among phylogenies derived from the separate LSU, RPB2, and -tubulin data sets. The RPB2 region appeared to be the most informative single gene region based on resolution and clade support, and accounts for the greatest number of potentially parsimony informative characters within the combined data set, followed by the LSU and the -tubulin region.

    L. Pecoraro, C. Perini, E. Salerni & V. De Dominicis Contribution to the knowledge of the mycological flora of the Pigelleto Nature Reserve, Mt. Amiata (Italy) Abstract Pecoraro, L., Perini, C., Salerni, E. & De Dominicis, V.: Contribution to the knowledge of the mycological flora of the Pigelleto Nature Reserve, Mt. Amiata (Italy). — Fl. Medit 17: 143-163. 2007. — ISSN 1120-4052. The Pigelleto Nature Reserve, situated to the south-east of Mt. Amiata (Tuscany, Italy), is char- acterized by a relict nucleus of Abies alba Mill. at low altitude, which is probably an autochtho- nous ecotype. The mycoflora list reported here is the result of past studies and observations car- ried out during 2005-2006. Among the species of macrofungi accounted for (426, belonging to 144 genera), 158 entities were collected for the first time during this recent study. Introduction This work represents a contribution to the mycological knowledge of Pigelleto Nature Reserve (Mt. Amiata, central-southern Tuscany, Italy, Fig. 1). It constitutes part of the “Life04NAT IT/000191” Project concerning the conservation of Abies alba Miller, which includes many different studies to analyze the various natural components of the area under investigation (Pecoraro & al. in press). The woods in the Amiata area are characterized by the alternation of Quercus cerris L. and Fagus sylvatica L., even though there are also mixed areas of mostly Carpinus betu- lus L. or Fraxinus sp. pl. (De Dominicis & Loppi 1992). Moreover, all of the forested areas have been subject to reforestation, mainly carried out in the first half of the 1900s due to the passage of the forestry law in 1923.

    ISSN: 0975-8585 Research Journal of Pharmaceutical, Biological and Chemical Sciences Popularity of species of polypores which are parasitic upon oaks in coppice oakeries of the South-Western Central Russian Upland in Russian Federation. Alexander Vladimirovich Dunayev*, Valeriy Konstantinovich Tokhtar, Elena Nikolaevna Dunayeva, and Svetlana Viсtorovna Kalugina. Belgorod State National Research University, Pobedy St., 85, Belgorod, 308015, Russia. ABSTRACT The article deals with research of popularity of polypores species (Polyporaceae sensu lato), which are parasitic upon living English oaks Quercus robur L. in coppice oakeries of the South-Western Central Russian Upland in the context of their eco-biological peculiarities. It was demonstrated that the most popular species are those for which an oak is a principal host, not an accidental one. These species also have effective parasitic properties and are able to spread in forest stands, from tree to tree. Keywords: polypores, Quercus robur L., coppice forest stand, obligate parasite, facultative saprotroph, facultative parasite, popularity. *Corresponding author September - October 2014 RJPBCS 5(5) Page No. 1691 ISSN: 0975-8585 INTRODUCTION Polypores Polyporaceae s. l. is a group of basidium fungi which is traditionnaly discriminated on the basis of formal resemblance, including species of wood destroyers, having sessile (or rarer extended) fruit bodies and tube (or labyrinth-like or gill-bearing) hymenophore. Many of them are parasites housing on living trees of forest-making species, or pathogens – agents of root, butt or trunk rot. Rot’s development can lead to attenuation, drying, wind breakage or windfall of stressed trees. On living trees Quercus robur L., which is the main forest-making species of autochthonous forest steppe oakeries in Eastern Europe, in conditions of Central Russian Upland, we can find nearly 10 species of polypores [1-3], belonging to orders Agaricales, Hymenochaetales, Polyporales (class Agaricomicetes, division Basidiomycota [4]).
