OMPHALINA Message from the Editor Happy 2016 to you all! However, this year there is an opportunity for you to join this even smaller and more exclusive coterie of the most enlightened members of mankind. With our The days are already getting longer, the sun rising foray held in Goose Bay this year, if you drive there, higher. Soon enough you will be in the woods taking the ferry across to Labrador, take an hour off looking for mushrooms again. in Forteau and walk the dunes. Likely you’ll see this We came across a revealing statement over the and other dune mushrooms. We plan to do exactly holidays. In his new book, “Lindvistika ehk metsa that—make a road trip of it, taking our time getting see lingvistika”, author Valdur Mikita stated to Goose Bay, with plenty of exploring on the way. that there are far more people in the world, who have gone to Paris than ever have gone picking mushrooms. You are part of a very exclusive small Not too early to make foray plans… coterie of enlightened human beings. By the way, unless you read Estonian, do not waste your time looking for this very worthwhile book. Happy mushrooming! After nearly a decade and half of collecting, we have accumulated a lot of material. As we begin to andrus look at it more closely, many discoveries are made. Some emerge during reviews of groups of fungi, reported to you in the review of the genus Pluteus in OMPHALINA 5(9):6-10, 2104, one of several such reviews. In this issue we are happy to report an additional species to the list in our province. Other discoveries are of new species, not only to the province, but also to the world. We are happy to report one such in this issue. As we sift through more and more of our material, we hope to find many more discoveries to report to you. As mentioned in the article about Hygrocybe jackmanii, this pretty species grows in the sand dunes in Forteau, along with at least two other somewhat uncommon mushrooms. For most of us, even though we live in the same province, an opportunity to see these mushrooms in their natural setting is not an everyday occurrence. More people have gone drinking on George St in St John’s than ever have gone to look at these mushrooms. 2 OMPHALINA Finding jackmanii… Andrus Voitk In October, 2011, a small crack team was deployed colour, with green Empetrum nearby, it became the to the Labrador Straits to look for some false truffles. choice for the cover photo of the Christmas issue of Among the many finds were three interesting OMPHALINA in 2011. The editor, who initially believed mushrooms in the Forteau sand bars, discussed in it to be a dark-centered Hygrocybe miniata, sent the these pages on a previous occasion.1 Two of the three photo to Renée Lebeuf, because of her interest in the mushrooms in the title banner have already found genus Hygrocybe. Renée immediately recognized it as their way into scientific publications. Thuemenidium worthy of interest. She did not know it, but told the arenarium, on the right, had been encountered on editor that for certain this was not H. miniata. Because a previous visit, which led to a review of the genus, of the dark scales at the centre of the cap, she thought suggesting that probably none of its species belong it might be close to H. turunda, and the editor, grateful there.2 This led other investigators to create a new for the helpful voice of somebody who knows, genus, Sabuloglossum, for this species, which is now presented it as such—an undefined species possibly known as S. arenarium. The false truffle in the middle, close to H. turunda. recognized as an Alpova, led to a full review of this Then began the fun of investigating what it might be. genus in North America, with the discovery that our After examination, Renée concluded that it was a new species is A. cinnamomea, and not A. diplophloeus, with species, hitherto unknown to science. She sent some which it had been synonymized for a long time, as specimens for a consultation to David Boertmann, well as the discovery of a new species.4 That, also, was a renowned student of the genus especially familiar reported to you on these pages.5 with northern taxa through his work in Greenland. Now it is the turn of the last of this Labrador Boertmann agreed with her that this represented a triumvirate, in the upper left, to grace the pages of novel species. Material was now sent to Greg Thorn the world’s mycological literature. How it got there with a request that he confirm this with molecular is a story to itself.

JEAN JARMAN1,2 1 Tasmanian Herbarium, Private Bag 4, Hobart, Tasmania 7001, Australia 2 Forestry Tasmania, GPO Box 207, Hobart, Tasmania 7001, Australia Abstract A total of 452 species, comprising 262 lichens, 78 mosses and 112 liverworts, is recorded from Eucalyptus obliqua L'Hér. dominated wet forest in southern Tasmania. A classification of the species is presented, based on their distribution and ecology. Four groups are recognised: (i) mature wet forest species, subdivided further into species of old forests, species of old trees, and foliicolous species; (ii) species of open eucalypt forests; (iii) widespread and common species; and (iv) species of disturbed habitats, subdivided into transient colonisers and persistent early colonisers. Together with an assessment of conservation status of the species, this classification provides a tool whereby simple comparisons of floristic richness or species composition can be refined so that the ecological ‘quality’ of a site can be evaluated. A case study comparing the flora before and after burning demonstrates the usefulness of the approach. It showed that although the diversity of cryptogams recovers quite quickly, the species composition of the flora alters significantly. The classification represents the first of its kind for lichens and bryophytes in Tasmania’s forests and will be extended in the future to incorporate other forest types and non-forest vegetation. Several lichens, including Absconditella celata Döbbeler & Poelt, Arthonia didyma Körb., Calicium hyperelloides Nyl., Cladonia adspersa Mont.
