Jülich Rijksherbarium, Leiden In P. described of viz. 1899, Hennings a new genus ‘Thelephoraceae’, Cerocorticium, based on two specimens collected by E. Nyman and M. Fleischer on Java. According to him these specimens represented two different species of his new genus. The of the and the two rather descriptions Hennings gave genus species are poor and incorrect. His diagnosis of the genus runs: ‘Resupinato-effusum, subgelatino- sicco laeve. Basidia sum, ceraceum. Hymenium glabrum, conferta, subclavata, 2- sterigmatibus. Sporae ellipsoideae vel ovoideae, hyalinae.’ (p. 138, in reprint p. 40). Corticium In a short discussion he declared the genus to be quite different from any because of the permanently 2-spored basidia and distinct from Michenera because of the absence ofparaphyses.

LUNDY FUNGI: FURTHER SURVEYS 2004-2008 by JOHN N
Journal of the Lundy Field Society, 2, 2010 LUNDY FUNGI: FURTHER SURVEYS 2004-2008 by JOHN N. HEDGER1, J. DAVID GEORGE2, GARETH W. GRIFFITH3, DILUKA PEIRIS1 1School of Life Sciences, University of Westminster, 115 New Cavendish Street, London, W1M 8JS 2Natural History Museum, Cromwell Road, London, SW7 5BD 3Institute of Biological Environmental and Rural Sciences, University of Aberystwyth, SY23 3DD Corresponding author, e-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT The results of four five-day field surveys of fungi carried out yearly on Lundy from 2004-08 are reported and the results compared with the previous survey by ourselves in 2003 and to records made prior to 2003 by members of the LFS. 240 taxa were identified of which 159 appear to be new records for the island. Seasonal distribution, habitat and resource preferences are discussed. Keywords: Fungi, ecology, biodiversity, conservation, grassland INTRODUCTION Hedger & George (2004) published a list of 108 taxa of fungi found on Lundy during a five-day survey carried out in October 2003. They also included in this paper the records of 95 species of fungi made from 1970 onwards, mostly abstracted from the Annual Reports of the Lundy Field Society, and found that their own survey had added 70 additional records, giving a total of 156 taxa. They concluded that further surveys would undoubtedly add to the database, especially since the autumn of 2003 had been exceptionally dry, and as a consequence the fruiting of the larger fleshy fungi on Lundy, especially the grassland species, had been very poor, resulting in under-recording. Further five-day surveys were therefore carried out each year from 2004-08, three in the autumn, 8-12 November 2004, 4-9 November 2007, 3-11 November 2008, one in winter, 23-27 January 2006 and one in spring, 9-16 April 2005. -

Email: [email protected] Little attention has been given to the mitochondrial genomes of Beauveria but better understanding may led to insights into the nature of species and evolution in this important genus. In this study, we sequenced the mi- tochondrial genomes of four new strains belonging to Beauveria bassiana, Beauveria caledonica and Beauveria malawiensis, and compared them to existing mitochon- drial sequences of related fungi. The mitochondrial gen- omes of Beauveria ranged widely from 28,806 to 44,135 base pairs, with intron insertions accounting for most size variation and up to 39% (B. malawiensis) of the mi- tochondrial length due to introns in genes. Gene order of the common mitochondrial genes did not vary among the Beauveria sequences, but variation was observed in the number of transfer ribonucleic acid genes. Although phylogenetic analysis using whole mitochondrial gen- omes showed, unsurprisingly, that B. -

<I>Craterellus Excelsus</I>
MYCOTAXON Volume 107, pp. 201–208 January–March 2009 Craterellus excelsus sp. nov. from Guyana Terry W. Henkel1*, M. Catherine Aime2 & Heather K. Mehl1 1Department of Biological Sciences, Humboldt State University Arcata, CA 95521, USA. 2Department of Plant Pathology and Crop Physiology Louisiana State University Agricultural Center Baton Rouge, LA 70803, USA Abstract — Craterellus excelsus (Cantharellaceae, Cantharellales, Basidiomycota) is described from the Pakaraima Mountains of Guyana, where it occurs in rain forests dominated by ectomycorrhizal Dicymbe spp. (Caesalpiniaceae). Craterellus excelsus is noteworthy for its tall (up to 150 mm), persistent, abundant basidiomata that develop in large caespitose clusters. Macromorphological, micromorphological, and habitat data are provided for the new species. Keywords — monodominant forest, tropical fungi, taxonomy, Guiana Shield Introduction In the primary rain forests of Guyana’s Pakaraima Mountains, species of Craterellus and Cantharellus (Cantharellaceae, Cantharellales, Basidiomycota) are conspicuous components of the macromycota associated with ectomycorrhizal (EM) canopy trees of the genus Dicymbe (Caesalpiniaceae, tribe Amherstieae) (Henkel et al. 2002, 2004). Taxa from the Cantharellales occurring in these forests include Cantharellus guyanensis, C. atratus, C. pleurotoides, three undescribed species of Craterellus, and >15 Clavulina species, a number of which remain undescribed (Thacker & Henkel 2004, Henkel et al. 2005, 2006). Here we describe Craterellus excelsus as a distinct new species based on its grey- brown, persistent basidiomata that are regularly >100 mm tall and occur in large caespitose clusters, and its long basidia of variable lengths (75−101 μm) with varying numbers of sterigmata (2−6). Materials and methods Collections were made during the May–July rainy seasons of 2000–2004 from the Upper Potaro River Basin, within a 5 km radius of a permanent base camp *Corresponding author E-mail: [email protected] 202 .. -

9B Taxonomy to Genus
Fungus and Lichen Genera in the NEMF Database Taxonomic hierarchy: phyllum > class (-etes) > order (-ales) > family (-ceae) > genus. Total number of genera in the database: 526 Anamorphic fungi (see p. 4), which are disseminated by propagules not formed from cells where meiosis has occurred, are presently not grouped by class, order, etc. Most propagules can be referred to as "conidia," but some are derived from unspecialized vegetative mycelium. A significant number are correlated with fungal states that produce spores derived from cells where meiosis has, or is assumed to have, occurred. These are, where known, members of the ascomycetes or basidiomycetes. However, in many cases, they are still undescribed, unrecognized or poorly known. (Explanation paraphrased from "Dictionary of the Fungi, 9th Edition.") Principal authority for this taxonomy is the Dictionary of the Fungi and its online database, www.indexfungorum.org. For lichens, see Lecanoromycetes on p. 3.
