  • Hebelomina (Agaricales) Revisited and Abandoned
    Plant Ecology and Evolution 151 (1): 96–109, 2018 https://doi.org/10.5091/plecevo.2018.1361 REGULAR PAPER Hebelomina (Agaricales) revisited and abandoned Ursula Eberhardt1,*, Nicole Schütz1, Cornelia Krause1 & Henry J. Beker2,3,4 1Staatliches Museum für Naturkunde Stuttgart, Rosenstein 1, D-70191 Stuttgart, Germany 2Rue Père de Deken 19, B-1040 Bruxelles, Belgium 3Royal Holloway College, University of London, Egham, Surrey TW20 0EX, United Kingdom 4Plantentuin Meise, Nieuwelaan 38, B-1860 Meise, Belgium *Author for correspondence: [email protected] Background and aims – The genus Hebelomina was established in 1935 by Maire to accommodate the new species Hebelomina domardiana, a white-spored mushroom resembling a pale Hebeloma in all aspects other than its spores. Since that time a further five species have been ascribed to the genus and one similar species within the genus Hebeloma. In total, we have studied seventeen collections that have been assigned to these seven species of Hebelomina. We provide a synopsis of the available knowledge on Hebelomina species and Hebelomina-like collections and their taxonomic placement. Methods – Hebelomina-like collections and type collections of Hebelomina species were examined morphologically and molecularly. Ribosomal RNA sequence data were used to clarify the taxonomic placement of species and collections. Key results – Hebelomina is shown to be polyphyletic and members belong to four different genera (Gymnopilus, Hebeloma, Tubaria and incertae sedis), all members of different families and clades. All but one of the species are pigment-deviant forms of normally brown-spored taxa. The type of the genus had been transferred to Hebeloma, and Vesterholt and co-workers proposed that Hebelomina be given status as a subsection of Hebeloma.

  • Detection, Recognition and Management Options for Armillaria Root Disease in Urban Environments
    Detection, recognition and management options for Armillaria root disease in urban environments Richard Robinson Department of Environment and Conservation, Manjimup, WA 6258 Email: [email protected] Abstract Armillaria luteobubalina, the Australian honey fungus, is an endemic pathogen that attacks and kills the roots of susceptible trees and shrubs, causing a root rot. The fungus colonises the cambium and trees eventually die when the root collar is girdle and it spreads from host to host by root contact. The disease is referred to as armillaria root disease (ARD). In recent years, reports of ARD killing trees and shrubs in urban parks and gardens have increased. When investigated, infection is usually traced to stumps or the roots of infected trees that were left following clearing of the bush when towns or new suburbs were established. The Australian honey fungus is indigenous to southern Australia, and is common in all forest, woodland and some coastal heath communities. In undisturbed environments, ARD is generally not the primary cause of death of healthy forest or woodland trees but more usually it kills trees weakened by competition, age-related decline or environmental stress and disturbance. In gardens and parks, however, the honey fungus can become a particularly aggressive pathogen and in this situation no native or ornamental trees and shrubs appear to be resistant to infection. The life cycle of the fungus consists of a parasitic phase during which the host is infected and colonised. The time taken for plants to succumb to disease varies, but may take decades for large trees. A saprophytic phase follows, during which the root system and stump of the dead host is used by the fungus as a food base.

  • Chapter 2 the Nature of Fungi with Special Emphasis on Mushrooms
    CHAPTER 2 THE NATURE OF FUNGI WITH SPECIAL EMPHASIS ON MUSHROOMS Synopsis This chapter aims to give a basic understanding of fungi, their structure and mode of growth with specific emphasis in the mushroom fungi. The role of mushrooms in nature is outlined with reference to the main forms of nutrition. The historical uses of psychotropic mushrooms in early forms of religion are outlined together with the use of other mushrooms as items of food and medicine. Introduction Mycology is concerned with the study of the Fungi, the term being derived from the Greek word mykes, meaning a fungus. The Fungi were, until comparatively recent times, regarded as members of the Plant Kingdom but are now recognized as a very distinct and separate group of organisms. They are eukaryotes having well- defined membrane-bond nuclei with a number of definite chromosomes and, as such, clearly distinguishable from bacteria. They are heterotrophic, requiring organic carbon compounds of varying degrees of complexity which distinguishes them from plants which manufacture their own organic food by photosynthesis. All but a few fungi have well-defined cell walls through which all their nutrients must pass in a soluble form and, in this respect, they differ from animal cells which lack defined cell walls. The number of species of fungi is a matter of speculation but recent estimates have strongly suggested that their numbers could be well in excess of 1.5 million. The fungi show immense differences in size, structure and metabolic activities. The smallest, such as the yeasts, grow as loose aggregates of single detached microscopic cells while most fungi exist as microscopic filaments or hyphae which extend at the tip, branching and fusing (anastomosing) to form a complex mycelium or network.

  • Some Critically Endangered Species from Turkey
    Fungal Conservation issue 4: February 2014 Fungal Conservation Note from the Editor This issue of Fungal Conservation is being put together in the glow of achievement associated with the Third International Congress on Fungal Conservation, held in Muğla, Turkey in November 2013. The meeting brought together people committed to fungal conservation from all corners of the Earth, providing information, stimulation, encouragement and general happiness that our work is starting to bear fruit. Especial thanks to our hosts at the University of Muğla who did so much behind the scenes to make the conference a success. This issue of Fungal Conservation includes an account of the meeting, and several papers based on presentations therein. A major development in the world of fungal conservation happened late last year with the launch of a new website (http://iucn.ekoo.se/en/iucn/welcome) for the Global Fungal Red Data List Initiative. This is supported by the Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation Fund, which also made a most generous donation to support participants from less-developed nations at our conference. The website provides a user-friendly interface to carry out IUCN-compliant conservation assessments, and should be a tool that all of us use. There is more information further on in this issue of Fungal Conservation. Deadlines are looming for the 10th International Mycological Congress in Thailand in August 2014 (see http://imc10.com/2014/home.html). Conservation issues will be featured in several of the symposia, with one of particular relevance entitled "Conservation of fungi: essential components of the global ecosystem”. There will be room for a limited number of contributed papers and posters will be very welcome also: the deadline for submitting abstracts is 31 March.
