  • <I>Hypomyces</I> and Its Original Species
    MYCOTAXON Volume 108, pp. 185–195 April–June 2009 The correct authorship of the genus Hypomyces and its original species S.R. Pennycook [email protected] Manaaki Whenua Landcare Research Private Bag 92 170, Auckland, New Zealand Abstract — Historically, the abbreviation ‘Tul.’ was used indiscriminately to indicate authorship by L.-R. Tulasne as sole author and by L.-R. & C. Tulasne as joint authors. This ambiguity continues to result in misattribution of many names for which the author has previously been designated as ‘Tul.’, for example the genus Hypomyces. Linguistic analysis of numerous papers published by the Tulasne brothers confirms that they were joint authors of the protologue of the genus Hypomyces and its original 18 species. Therefore, using modern standard botanical author abbreviations, these names should be attributed to ‘Tul. & C.Tul.’, and not to ‘Tul.’ Key words — nomenclature, Nees, Saccardo, Sydow, Hypomyces lactifluorum Introduction In the past, authors of taxonomic names have frequently been indicated by a miscellany of non-standardised—and often ambiguous—abbreviations. The publication of a comprehensive list of unambiguous standard botanical author abbreviations by Brummitt & Powell (1992) consolidated and expanded several previous partial lists, and the IPNI Authors website (IPNI 2009) continues to update the list. Nevertheless, there is still potential for error when the old ambiguous abbreviations are interpreted uncritically as if they were modern standard author abbreviations. Old abbreviations

  • Tropical Species of Cladobotryum and Hypomyces Producing Red Pigments
    available online at www.studiesinmycology.org StudieS in Mycology 68: 1–34. 2011. doi:10.3114/sim.2011.68.01 Tropical species of Cladobotryum and Hypomyces producing red pigments Kadri Põldmaa Institute of Ecology and Earth Sciences, and Natural History Museum, University of Tartu, Vanemuise 46, 51014 Tartu, Estonia Correspondence: Kadri Põldmaa, [email protected] Abstract: Twelve species of Hypomyces/Cladobotryum producing red pigments are reported growing in various tropical areas of the world. Ten of these are described as new, including teleomorphs for two previously known anamorphic species. In two species the teleomorph has been found in nature and in three others it was obtained in culture; only anamorphs are known for the rest. None of the studied tropical collections belongs to the common temperate species H. rosellus and H. odoratus to which the tropical teleomorphic collections had previously been assigned. Instead, taxa encountered in the tropics are genetically and morphologically distinct from the nine species of Hypomyces/Cladobotryum producing red pigments known from temperate regions. Besides observed host preferences, anamorphs of several species can spread fast on soft ephemeral agaricoid basidiomata but the slower developing teleomorphs are mostly found on polyporoid basidiomata or bark. While a majority of previous records from the tropics involve collections from Central America, this paper also reports the diversity of these fungi in the Paleotropics. Africa appears to hold a variety of taxa as five of the new species include material collected in scattered localities of this mostly unexplored continent. In examining distribution patterns, most of the taxa do not appear to be pantropical.

These authors contributed equally to this work. y Received: 4 April 2019; Accepted: 27 May 2019; Published: 29 May 2019 Abstract: The mycoparasitic fungus Hypomyces perniciosus causes wet bubble disease of mushrooms, particularly Agaricus bisporus. The genome of a highly virulent strain of H. perniciosus HP10 was sequenced and compared to three other fungi from the order Hypocreales that cause disease on A. bisporus. H. perniciosus genome is ~44 Mb, encodes 10,077 genes and enriched with transposable elements up to 25.3%. Phylogenetic analysis revealed that H. perniciosus is closely related to Cladobotryum protrusum and diverged from their common ancestor ~156.7 million years ago. H. perniciosus has few secreted proteins compared to C. protrusum and Trichoderma virens, but significantly expanded protein families of transporters, protein kinases, CAZymes (GH 18), peptidases, cytochrome P450, and SMs that are essential for mycoparasitism and adaptation to harsh environments.

  • Newly Recognised Lineages of Perithecial Ascomycetes: the New Orders Conioscyphales and Pleurotheciales
    Persoonia 37, 2016: 57–81 www.ingentaconnect.com/content/nhn/pimj RESEARCH ARTICLE http://dx.doi.org/10.3767/003158516X689819 Newly recognised lineages of perithecial ascomycetes: the new orders Conioscyphales and Pleurotheciales M. Réblová1, K.A. Seifert 2, J. Fournier 3, V. Štěpánek4 Key words Abstract Phylogenetic analyses of DNA sequences from nuclear ribosomal and protein-coding loci support the placement of several perithecial ascomycetes and dematiaceous hyphomycetes from freshwater and terrestrial freshwater fungi environments in two monophyletic clades closely related to the Savoryellales. One clade formed by five species of holoblastic conidiogenesis Conioscypha and a second clade containing several genera of uncertain taxonomic status centred on Pleurothe- Hypocreomycetidae cium, represent two distinct taxonomic groups at the ordinal systematic rank. They are proposed as new orders, multigene analysis the Conioscyphales and Pleurotheciales. Several taxonomic novelties are introduced in the Pleurotheciales, i.e. Phaeoisaria two new genera (Adelosphaeria and Melanotrigonum), three novel species (A. catenata, M. ovale, Phaeoisaria systematics fasciculata) and a new combination (Pleurotheciella uniseptata). A new combination is proposed for Savoryella limnetica in Ascotaiwania s.str. based on molecular data and culture characters. A strongly supported lineage containing a new genus Plagiascoma, species of Bactrodesmiastrum and Ascotaiwania persoonii, was identified as a sister to the Conioscyphales/Pleurotheciales/Savoryellales clade in our multilocus phylogeny. Together, they are nested in a monophyly in the Hypocreomycetidae, significantly supported by Bayesian inference and Maximum Likelihood analyses. Members of this clade share a few morphological characters, such as the absence of stromatic tissue or clypeus, similar anatomies of the 2-layered ascomatal walls, thin-walled unitunicate asci with a distinct, non-amyloid apical annulus, symmetrical, transversely septate ascospores and holoblastic conidiogenesis.

  • 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.
