Brandon Matheny¤,1 Biology Department, Box 351330, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98195-5325, USA Received 9 July 2003; revised 15 May 2004 Available online 18 January 2005 Abstract Approximately 3000 bp across 84 taxa have been analyzed for variable regions of RPB1, RPB2, and nLSU-rDNA to infer phylo- genetic relationships in the large ectomycorrhizal mushroom genus Inocybe (Agaricales; Basidiomycota). This study represents the Wrst eVort to combine variable regions of RPB1 and RPB2 with nLSU-rDNA for low-level phylogenetic studies in mushroom-form- ing fungi. Combination of the three loci increases non-parametric bootstrap support, Bayesian posterior probabilities, and resolution for numerous clades compared to separate gene analyses. These data suggest the evolution of at least Wve major lineages in Inocybe— the Inocybe clade, the Mallocybe clade, the Auritella clade, the Inosperma clade, and the Pseudosperma clade. Additionally, many clades nested within each major lineage are strongly supported. These results also suggest the family Crepiodataceae sensu stricto is sister to Inocybe. Recognition of Inocybe at the family level, the Inocybaceae, is recommended. 2004 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

  • Preface to Artificial Key to Common and Noteworthy Species of Inocybe from the Pacific Northwest
    Preface to Artificial Key to Common and Noteworthy Species of Inocybe from the Pacific Northwest This key is aimed at an audience familiar with the determination of agarics in general but unfamiliar with Inocybe. The key stresses gross morphological characters as I think appropriate before yielding to taxa that are better distinguished microscopically. 43 species are enumerated below and several others are mentioned, but probably over 100 occur in the Pacific Northwest, a region circumscribed to include British Columbia, Washington, Idaho, western Montana, Oregon, and northern California. Of the 43 species in the key, few are endemic to the region based on gross morphological species concepts. However, the key is recommended for use with Pacific Northwest material. Many eastern North American species of Inocybe, for example, do not occur in the Pacific Northwest and are excluded from this treatment. The genus Inocybe (Fr.) Fr. traditionally has encompassed dull brown-spored agarics that are ectomycorrhizal and frequently occur on soil; exhibit a dry pileus that is often rimose, fibrillose, or scaly; and have a distinctive smell that is often spermatic or less often fruity, sweet, aromatic, like bruised Geranium leaves, like Lycoperdon, or green corn. Species of Hebeloma differ by their gelatinous pileus, often radish smell, typically verrucose basidiospores, and absence of metuloid cystidia. Decomposers such as Phaeomarasmius and Flammulaster differ by their occurrence on woody debris and lack of metuloid cystidia. The Crepidotaceae, including Pleuroflammula and Simocybe, is the closest related group to Inocybe, which I treat as a separate family in its own right (see Matheny et al. (2006) Mycologia 98:982- 995).

  • Ectomycorrhizal Communities Associated with a Pinus Radiata Plantation in the North Island, New Zealand
    ECTOMYCORRHIZAL COMMUNITIES ASSOCIATED WITH A PINUS RADIATA PLANTATION IN THE NORTH ISLAND, NEW ZEALAND A thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at Lincoln University by Katrin Walbert Bioprotection and Ecology Division Lincoln University, Canterbury New Zealand 2008 Abstract of a thesis submitted in partial fulfilment of the requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy ECTOMYCORRHIZAL COMMUNITIES ASSOCIATED WITH A PINUS RADIATA PLANTATION IN THE NORTH ISLAND, NEW ZEALAND by Katrin Walbert Aboveground and belowground ectomycorrhizal (ECM) communities associated with different age classes of the exotic plantation species Pinus radiata were investigated over the course of two years in the North Island of New Zealand. ECM species were identified with a combined approach of morphological and molecular (restriction fragment length polymorphism (RFLP) and DNA sequencing) analysis. ECM species richness and diversity of a nursery in Rotorua, and stands of different ages (1, 2, 8, 15 and 26 yrs of age at time of final assessment) in Kaingaroa Forest, were assessed above- and belowground; furthermore, the correlation between the above- and belowground ECM communities was assessed. It was found that the overall and stand specific species richness and diversity of ECM fungi associated with the exotic host tree in New Zealand were low compared to similar forests in the Northern Hemisphere but similar to other exotic plantations in the Southern Hemisphere. Over the course of this study, 18 ECM species were observed aboveground and 19 ECM species belowground. With the aid of molecular analysis the identities of Laccaria proxima and Inocybe sindonia were clarified.

What is a mushroom? A mushroom is actually the fruiting structure of a fungus. The fungus is simply a net of thread-like fibers, called a mycelium, growing in soil, wood or decaying organic matter. Most mushrooms are edible and highly delicious. Others are not edible, and the rest are deadly poisonous. Wild Mushrooms Poisonous Edible The function of a mushroom is to produce spores, which are the propagative structures of the fungus. Spore identification is the master key for mushroom classification. Basidiospores of Agaricus Spore print of Mycena Mushroom Groups 1.

Mycorrhizal Fungi of Aspen Forests: Natural Occurrence and Potential Applications Cathy L. Cripps1 Abstract—Native mycorrhizal fungi associated with aspen were surveyed on three soil types in the north-central Rocky Mountains. Selected isolates were tested for the ability to enhance aspen seedling growth in vitro. Over 50 species of ectomycorrhizal fungi occur with Populus tremuloides in this region, primarily basidiomycete fungi in the Agaricales. Almost one-third (30%) were ubiquitous with aspen and were found on all three soil types. Over one-third (37%) were restricted to the acidic, sandy soil of the smelter-impacted Butte-Anaconda area, revealing a subset of fungi that tolerate these conditions. Mycorrhizal fungi were screened for their ability to enhance aspen growth and establishment. Of nine selected isolates, all but one increased the biomass of aspen seedlings 2–4 times.

  • Do Fungal Fruitbodies and Edna Give Similar Biodiversity Assessments Across Broad Environmental Gradients?
    Supplementary material for Man against machine: Do fungal fruitbodies and eDNA give similar biodiversity assessments across broad environmental gradients? Tobias Guldberg Frøslev, Rasmus Kjøller, Hans Henrik Bruun, Rasmus Ejrnæs, Anders Johannes Hansen, Thomas Læssøe, Jacob Heilmann- Clausen 1 Supplementary methods. This study was part of the Biowide project, and many aspects are presented and discussed in more detail in Brunbjerg et al. (2017). Environmental variables. Soil samples (0-10 cm, 5 cm diameter) were collected within 4 subplots of the 130 sites and separated in organic (Oa) and mineral (A/B) soil horizons. Across all sites, a total of 664 soil samples were collected. Organic horizons were separated from the mineral horizons when both were present. Soil pH was measured on 10g soil in 30 ml deionized water, shaken vigorously for 20 seconds, and then settling for 30 minutes. Measurements were done with a Mettler Toledo Seven Compact pH meter. Soil pH of the 0-10 cm soil layer was calculated weighted for the proportion of organic matter to mineral soil (average of samples taken in 4 subplots). Organic matter content was measured as the percentage of the 0-10 cm core that was organic matter. 129 of the total samples were measured for carbon content (LECO elemental analyzer) and total phosphorus content (H2SO4-Se digestion and colorimetric analysis). NIR was used to analyze each sample for total carbon and phosphorus concentrations. Reflectance spectra was analyzed within a range of 10000-4000 cm-1 with a Antaris II NIR spectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific). A partial least square regression was used to test for a correlation between the NIR data and the subset reference analyses to calculate total carbon and phosphorous (see Brunbjerg et al.
