A Survey of Fungi at the University of Wisconsin-Waukesha Field Station Alan D. Parker Department of Biological Sciences University of Wisconsin-Waukesha Waukesha, Wisconsin 53188 Introduction The University of Wisconsin-Waukesha Field Station was founded in 1967 through the generous gift of a 98 acre farm by Ms. Gertrude Sherman. The facility is located approximately nine miles west of Waukesha on Highway 18, just south of the Waterville Road intersection. The site consists of rolling glacial deposits covered with old field vegetation, 20 acres of xeric oak woods, a small lake with marshlands and bog, and a cold water stream. Other communities are being estab- lished as a result of restoration work; among these are mesic prairie, oak opening, and stands of various conifers. A long-term study of higher fungi and Myxomycetes, primarily from the xeric oak woods, was started in 1978.

Current Research in Environmental & Applied Mycology 5(3), 213–247, Doi 10.5943/cream/5/3/6 Abstract This paper includes the results of eco-taxonomic studies of coprophilous mushrooms in Punjab, India. The information is based on the survey to dung localities of the state during the various years from 2007-2011. A total number of 172 collections have been observed, growing as saprobes on dung of various domesticated and wild herbivorous animals in pastures, open areas, zoological parks, and on dung heaps along roadsides or along village ponds, etc. High coprophilous mushrooms’ diversity has been established and a number of rare and sensitive species recorded with the present study. The observed collections belong to 95 species spread over 20 genera and 07 families of the order Agaricales. The present paper discusses the distribution of these mushrooms in Punjab among different seasons, regions, habitats, and growing habits along with their economic utility, habitat management and conservation. This is the first attempt in which various dung localities of the state has been explored systematically to ascertain the diversity, seasonal availability, distribution and ecology of coprophilous mushrooms.

Dr. Enloe has been a mentor in the field of research, education, and outreach. His energy helped inspire me in times I lacked the motivation and his kindness and support helped me through times of difficulty. I am also thankful for my committee members, Dr. Jay Ferrell and Dr. Carrie Reinhardt Adams for their support, time, and guidance. I would also like to extend immense gratitude towards my lab mates Jonathan Glueckert and Kaitlyn Quincy for all of their encouragement, friendship, and tutoring through our coursework and research. I am especially thankful for my lab mate Mackenzie Bell, who has been an incredibly supportive friend, science partner, and plant enthusiast with me for the past three years. I would also like to thank Lara Colley, Dr. James Leary, Dr. Benjamin Sperry, and the rest of the faculty at The Center of Aquatic and Invasive Center (CAIP) for their insight and passion for research and education.

  • The Relation Between Road Crack Vegetation and Plant Biodiversity in Urban Landscape
    Int. J. of GEOMATE, June, 2014, Vol. 6, No. 2 (Sl. No. 12), pp. 885-891 Geotech., Const. Mat. & Env., ISSN:2186-2982(P), 2186-2990(O), Japan THE RELATION BETWEEN ROAD CRACK VEGETATION AND PLANT BIODIVERSITY IN URBAN LANDSCAPE Taizo Uchida1, JunHuan Xue1,2, Daisuke Hayasaka3, Teruo Arase4, William T. Haller5 and Lyn A. Gettys5 1Faculty of Engineering, Kyushu Sangyo University, Japan; 2Suzhou Polytechnic Institute of Agriculture, China; 3Faculty of Agriculture, Kinki University, Japan; 4Faculty of Agriculture, Shinshu University, Japan; 5Center for Aquatic and Invasive Plants, University of Florida, USA ABSTRACT: The objective of this study is to collect basic information on vegetation in road crack, especially in curbside crack of road, for evaluating plant biodiversity in urban landscape. A curbside crack in this study was defined as a linear space (under 20 mm in width) between the asphalt pavement and curbstone. The species composition of plants invading curbside cracks was surveyed in 38 plots along the serial National Route, over a total length of 36.5 km, in Fukuoka City in southern Japan. In total, 113 species including native plants (83 species, 73.5%), perennial herbs (57 species, 50.4%) and woody plants (13 species, 11.5%) were recorded in curbside cracks. Buried seeds were also obtained from soil in curbside cracks, which means the cracks would possess a potential as seed bank. Incidentally, no significant differences were found in the vegetation characteristics of curbside cracks among land-use types (Kolmogorov-Smirnov Test, P > 0.05). From these results, curbside cracks would be likely to play an important role in offering habitat for plants in urban area.

  • Phylogenetic Classification of Trametes
    TAXON 60 (6) • December 2011: 1567–1583 Justo & Hibbett • Phylogenetic classification of Trametes SYSTEMATICS AND PHYLOGENY Phylogenetic classification of Trametes (Basidiomycota, Polyporales) based on a five-marker dataset Alfredo Justo & David S. Hibbett Clark University, Biology Department, 950 Main St., Worcester, Massachusetts 01610, U.S.A. Author for correspondence: Alfredo Justo, [email protected] Abstract: The phylogeny of Trametes and related genera was studied using molecular data from ribosomal markers (nLSU, ITS) and protein-coding genes (RPB1, RPB2, TEF1-alpha) and consequences for the taxonomy and nomenclature of this group were considered. Separate datasets with rDNA data only, single datasets for each of the protein-coding genes, and a combined five-marker dataset were analyzed. Molecular analyses recover a strongly supported trametoid clade that includes most of Trametes species (including the type T. suaveolens, the T. versicolor group, and mainly tropical species such as T. maxima and T. cubensis) together with species of Lenzites and Pycnoporus and Coriolopsis polyzona. Our data confirm the positions of Trametes cervina (= Trametopsis cervina) in the phlebioid clade and of Trametes trogii (= Coriolopsis trogii) outside the trametoid clade, closely related to Coriolopsis gallica. The genus Coriolopsis, as currently defined, is polyphyletic, with the type species as part of the trametoid clade and at least two additional lineages occurring in the core polyporoid clade. In view of these results the use of a single generic name (Trametes) for the trametoid clade is considered to be the best taxonomic and nomenclatural option as the morphological concept of Trametes would remain almost unchanged, few new nomenclatural combinations would be necessary, and the classification of additional species (i.e., not yet described and/or sampled for mo- lecular data) in Trametes based on morphological characters alone will still be possible.

  • 2011 NAMA Toxicology Committee Report North American Mushroom Poisonings
    2011 NAMA Toxicology Committee Report North American Mushroom Poisonings By Michael W. Beug, PhD, Chair NAMA Toxicology Committee P.O. Box 116, Husum, WA 98623 email: [email protected] Abstract In 2011, for North America, the reports to NAMA included 117 people seriously sickened by mushrooms. Thirteen cases involved ingestion of either “Destroying Angel” or “Death Cap” mushrooms in the genus Amanita. There was one death and two people needed a liver transplant after ingestion of a “Destroying Angel”, presumably Amanita bisporigera. Three cases, including one death, involved amatoxins from a Galerina , presumably Galerina marginata . There was one case of kidney damage after consumption of Amanita smithiana and a second case of kidney damage involving two women who consumed an unknown mushroom . The year was noteworthy for the large number of reports of problems from consumption of morels with 22 cases (18.8% of the total). A number of problems were the result of people consuming morels raw – but everyone recovered within 24 hours. The eighteen Chlorophyllum molybdites cases (15% of the total) were sometimes quite severe and often required hospitalization. While Gyromitra cases numbered only nine (eight Gyromitra esculenta and one Gyromitra montana ), four required long hospitalizations as a result of liver damage. In the Northeast, newspaper reports mention long hospitalizations from some of the mushrooms known to cause gastro- intestinal distress, but we have no information on those cases. Twenty seven reports of dogs ill after eating mushrooms included fourteen deaths of the dogs. The dog deaths were mostly attributed to ingestion of mushrooms containing α-amanitin, including probable Amanita bisporigera, Amanita ocreata and Amanita phalloides , though in at least one case the possibility of a deadly Galerina cannot be ruled out.
