    Systematics, Barcoding and Ecology of Fungi from Waxcap Grasslands in Britain

    Project report to DEFRA 1: 3 December 2010 Systematics, barcoding and ecology of fungi from waxcap grasslands in Britain Collaborations An important component of the project is to bring together professional scientists and specialist volunteers to contribute specimens and ecological data, and later on to explore ways of improving the existing recording and monitoring schemes. The project will provide valuable data to aid decision-making for conservation management, for example designation of SSSIs and establishment of red data lists. The first action was therefore to publicize the project to potential collaborators, and emails and verbal communications took place both directly with known collectors/recording groups and through the British Mycological Society. Excluding those named in the project application, 33 individuals/recording groups have provided specimens and/or identification data. Our initial request was for all species of Hygrocybe and Geoglossaceae. While a number of these are common and widespread, there are concerns that existing species concepts are too broad and are masking cryptic taxa. Along with specimens that we have collected ourselves, we have received a total of 213 collections belonging to 34 species/varieties of Hygrocybe and four species of Geoglossaceae. The collections have come from 27 different vice-counties in England, Wales and Scotland. Much of the field season was poor for waxcap species, although a number of species fruited abnormally late in the year. With this in mind, we are very happy with the response we have received from field workers, and there has been a widespread welcome for our project. We are confident that our field collaborators will continue to support our work throughout the project period and beyond.

Abstract Present study deals with the plectological and molecular analysis as well as use of economically important wild Russuloid mushrooms against food pathogenic fungus Aspergillus niger. Three different species of mushrooms viz., Russla laeta, R. nobilis, and R. nigricans were collected and identified from Himalayan range of Pakistan and are found as new records for this country. Major objective of this study was to highlight the importance of these wild creatures as antifungal agents against A. niger. For this purpose methanolic extract of selected mushrooms of different concentration levels viz., 1, 1.5, 2 and 3% were used. This activity is also first time reported from Pakistan by using this group of mushrooms. Results showed that all tested mushrooms exhibit growth inhibition of A. niger and can be used as biocontrol agents. R. nigricans showed maximum inhibition of fungus growth that is 62% at 3% concentrations while minimum inhibition was observed in R. nobilis at same concentration that is 43.6%. Introduction Many people in Pakistan depend on agriculture but various crops are contaminated by phytopathogenic fungi (i.e., Aspergillus, Fusarium, Penicillium) during pre and post-harvesting processes.

Compositional features and antioxidant, antibacterial, antibiofilm, and cytotoxic activities were analyzed. The studied mushroom species were identified as being rich sources of carbohydrates and of low caloric value. Mannitol was the most abundant free sugar and quinic and malic acids the major organic acids detected. The four tocopherol isoforms were found, and polyunsaturated fatty acids were the predominant fat constituents.

    Fungi on Lundy 2003

    Rep. Lundy Field Soc. 53 FUNGI ON LUNDY 2003 By JOHN N . H EDGER 1 AND J. D AVID GEORGE2 'School of Biosciences,University of Westminster, 115 New Cavendish Street, London, WlM 8JS 2Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London, SW7 5BD Dedication: The authors wish to dedicate this paper to Professor John Webst er of the University of Exeter on the occasion of his 80'" birthday, in recognition of his contribution to the Mycology of Southwest Britain. ABSTRACT The results of a preliminary field survey of fungi can·ied out on Lundy between 11-18 October 2003 are reported and compared with previous records. One hundred and eight taxa were identified of which seventy five appear to be new records for the island, in spite of the very dry conditions during the survey. Habitat and resource preferences of the fungi are discussed, and suggesti ons made for further studies on Lundy. Keywords: Lundy, fungi, ecology, biodiversity. INTRODUCTION Although detailed studies of the lichen fl ora of Lundy have been published (Noon & Hawksworth, 1972; lames et al., 1995, 1996), the fungi of Lundy have remained little studied. Mcist existing data consisted of a series of lists published in the Annual Report s of the Lundy Field Society, beginning in 1970. We could onl y trace three earli er records of fungi on Lundy, from 1965 and 1967, by visiting members of the British Mycological Society. The obj ect of the present study was to start a more systematic in ventory of the diversity of fungi on Lundy, and the habitats they occupy on the island, and to begin a database of Lundy fungi for entry in the British Mycological Society U.K.

All rights reserved. From Roland Thaxter to the Present: Synergy Among Mycologists, Entomologists, Parasitologists Laboulbeniales were discovered in the middle of the 19th century, rather late in mycological history (Anonymous, 1849; Rouget, 1850; Robin, 1852, 1853; Mayr, 1853). After their discovery and eventually their recognition as fungi, occasional reports increased species numbers and broadened host ranges and geographical distributions; however, it was not until the fundamental work of Thaxter (1896, 1908, 1924, 1926, 1931), who made numerous collections but also acquired infected insects from correspondents, that the Laboulbeniales became better known among mycologists and entomologists. Thaxter set the stage for progress by describing a remarkable number of taxa: 103 genera and 1260 species. Fewer than 25 species of Pyxidiophora in the Pyxidiophorales are known. Many have been collected rarely, often described from single collections and never encountered again. They probably are more common and diverse than known collections indicate, but their rapid development in hidden habitats and difficulty of cultivation make species of Pyxidiophora easily overlooked and, thus, underreported (Blackwell and Malloch, 1989a,b; Malloch and Blackwell, 1993; Jacobs et al., 2005; Gams and Arnold, 2007).

Russula atroaeruginea (sect. Griseinae) is characterized by a glabrous dark-green and radially yellowish tinged pileus, slightly yellowish context, spores ornamented by low warts linked by fine lines, and numerous pileocystidia with crystalline contents blackening in sulfovanillin. Russula sichuanensis, a semi-sequestrate taxon closely related to sect. Laricinae, forms russuloid to secotioid basidiocarps with yellowish to orange sublamellate gleba and large basidiospores with warts linked as ridges. The rDNA ITS-based phylogenetic trees fully support these new species. Key words — taxonomy, Macowanites, Russulales, Russulaceae, Basidiomycota Introduction Russula Pers. is a globally distributed genus of macrofungi with colorful fruit bodies (Bills et al. 1986, Singer 1986, Miller & Buyck 2002, Kirk et al.

    1 Tyntesfield Waxcaps 2005 -2013 A paper presented at a Symposium on Grassland Fungi in Formal Landscapes (7-8 November 2014) at Sheffield Hallam University John and Doreen Bailey 6 Durbin Park Road Clevedon BS21 7EU [email protected] Introduction Tyntesfield is a Gothic Revival country house, on a ridge a few miles to the SW of Bristol. There was an earlier manor house, but the present buildings date from developments in the 1860s by William Gibbs, who, at the time, was one of the richest men in the UK. His money was based on the importation of guano from South America1,2. The house remained in the ownership of the Gibbs family until the death of Richard Gibbs in 2001. With no one in the family able to take on the Estate, it was put up for open auction. After a frantic few months the National Trust purchased the Estate in 2002. At this time the Tyntesfield Estate comprised 650 hectares. The present NT house and garden, now called simply Tyntesfield, is only 218 hectares, the remaining farmland and woodlands having been sold. Initial visits Our first visit in 2002 was as one of those privileged to be among the first to view the House. We made another visit in 2003. Both visits were made in November, and we well remember being impressed by seeing mushrooms as we disembarked from the bus. But, being largely ignorant of such things we took no action. However, in 2004, as a retirement present, I was presented with a book “Edible and Poisonous Mushrooms of the World” and our real interest in fungi began.
