Fungus Factsheet 35 / 2009 Science Division Mycena carmeliana Richard Robinson, Science, Manjimup, [email protected] © Richard Robinson The genus Mycena contains many species of fungi. They are all decomposers, colonising and rotting dead organic material ranging from litter and small twigs to large logs. Most species of Mycena, including Mycena carmeliana fruit in the autumn. In Western Australia, Mycena carmeliana prefers to grow on dead jarrah logs and large fallen branches that are in the very early stages of decay—generally before the bark has fallen off. In other parts of southern and eastern Australia it can also be found fruiting on litter in young radiata pine plantations as well as eucalypt wood and logs. Caps are generally 1-2cm diameter with a brown centre and radial grooves around the margin. The flesh of the cap is very thin. Gills are white, generally with two lengths. Stems are up to 3cm tall, slender, white, almost translucent, and have a distinctive ginger or chestnut coloured base which resembles a short fluffy sock. The whole fruit body has a weak to strong bleach- or ammonia-like odour. Like many Mycenas, Mycena carmeliana grows in large colonies, protruding from behind the bark through cracks or along the edge of the bark where a portion of the wood is bare. The scientific name refers to the ancient Greek/Latin term for mushroom and the describing scientist (Dr Cheryl Grgurinovic) honouring her mother. Mycena: the ancient term for mushroom, carmel-: named in honour of Carmel Grgurinovic, -iana: pertaining to.

A New Section and Two New Species of Mycena Article
Mycosphere 4 (5): 930–935 (2013) ISSN 2077 7019 www.mycosphere.org Article Mycosphere Copyright © 2013 Online Edition Doi 10.5943/mycosphere/4/5/5 A new section and two new species of Mycena Aravindakshan DM and Manimohan P Department of Botany, University of Calicut, Kerala, 673 635, India Aravindakshan DM, Manimohan P 2013 – A new section and two new species of Mycena. Mycosphere 4(5), 930–935, Doi 10.5943/mycosphere/4/5/5 Abstract A new section, sect. Spinosae, is proposed for species of the agaric genus Mycena that have both thin-walled pileocystidia and diverticulate hyphae on the pileipellis. Two new species, Mycena mridula and M. rasada, are proposed in the new section and five other species of Mycena, currently assigned to other sections, are considered as belonging to it. A key is provided for all species included in the proposed section. Key words – Agaricales – Basidiomycota – biodiversity – Mycenaceae – taxonomy Introduction There are several species of Mycena (Mycenaceae, Agaricales, Basidiomycota) that possess hairs or spines over the pileus. Mycena sect. Longisetae is characterized by the presence of erect, thick-walled pileosetae at least in the primordial stage. About six species of Mycena sect. Basipedes (M. stylobates (Pers.) P. Kumm., M. tenuispinosa J. Favre, M. spinosa Métrod, M. quadratipes Métrod, M. pseudoseta Desjardin, Boonprat. & Hywel-Jones, M. mimicoseta Desjardin, Boonprat. & Hywel-Jones) also have pileus spines, but in those species, the spines are formed of bundles of pileipellis hyphae. Apart from these two groups of spinose species of Mycena, there are a few spinose species, currently scattered in several sections that have both hyphae of the pileipellis with excrescences, and thin-walled pileocystidia.

These fungi are classified as Forensic plant science Psilocybe, Gymnopilus, and Panaeolus which contain active principles with hallucinogenic properties such as Psychedelic fungus ibotenic acid, psilocybin, psilocin, or baeocystin. In Chile, fungi seizures are mainly of mature specimens or Psilocybe spores. However, clandestine laboratories have been found that process fungus samples at the mycelium stage. In High resolution melting analysis this transient stage of growth (mycelium), traditional taxonomic identification is not feasible, making it ne- cessary to develop a new method of study. Currently, DNA analysis is the only reliable method that can be used as an identification tool for the purposes of supporting evidence, due to the high variability of DNA between species.

A Taxonomic Investigation of Mycena in California
A TAXONOMIC INVESTIGATION OF MYCENA IN CALIFORNIA A thesis submitted to the faculty of San Francisco State University In partial fulfillment of The requirements For the degree Master of Arts In Biology: Ecology and Systematic Biology by Brian Andrew Perry San Francisco, California November, 2002 Copyright by Brian Andrew Perry 2002 A Taxonomic Investigation of Mycena in California Mycena is a very large, cosmopolitan genus with members described from temperate and tropical regions of both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres. Although several monographic treatments of the genus have been published over the past 100 years, the genus remains largely undocumented for many regions worldwide. This study represents the first comprehensive taxonomic investigation of Mycena species found within California. The goal of the present research is to provide a resource for the identification of Mycena species within the state, and thereby serve as a basis for further investigation of taxonomic, evolutionary, and ecological relationships within the genus. Complete macro- and microscopic descriptions of the species occurring in California have been compiled based upon examination of fresh material and preserved herbarium collections. The present work recognizes a total of 61 Mycena species occurring within California, sixteen of which are new reports, and 3 of which represent previously undescribed taxa. I certify that this abstract is a correct representation of the content of this thesis. Dr. Dennis E. Desjardin (Chair, Thesis Committee) Date ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS I am deeply indebted to Dr. Dennis E. Desjardin for the role he has played as a teacher, mentor, advisor, and friend during my time at SFSU and beyond.

Fall Mushrooms
FALL MUSHROOMS TEXT AND PHOTOGRAPHS BY DAVE BRUMFIELD DESIGNED AND ILLUSTRATED BY DANETTE RUSHBOLDT introduction For much of the year, any walk through the woods reveals an assortment of fascinating mushrooms, each playing an important role in the forest ecosystem. This guide serves as a reference for some of the mushrooms you may encounter while hiking in the Metro Parks. It is arranged in three sections: mushrooms with gills, mushrooms with pores, and others. Each mushroom is identified by its common and scientific name, a brief description, where and when it grows, and some fun facts. As you venture into the woods this fall, take a closer look at the mushrooms around you. Our hope is that this guide will help you to identify them, develop a better understanding of the role they play in nature, and inspire you to further explore the world of mushrooms. Happy Mushrooming! Naturalist Dave Brumfield glossary of terms Fruiting body ............ The reproductive structure of a fungus; typically known as a mushroom. Fruiting .................... The reproductive stage of a fungus when a mushroom is formed. Fungus ...................... A group of organisms that includes mushrooms and molds. Hyphae.......................Thread-like filaments that grow out from a germinated spore. Mycorrhizal ............. Having a symbiotic relationship between a plant root and fungal hyphae. Parasite .................... Fungus that grows by taking nourishment from other living organisms. Polypore ................... A group of fungi that form fruiting bodies with pores or tubes on the underside through which spores are released. Saprophyte ............... A fungus that grows by taking nourishment from dead organisms. Spines ....................... Small “teeth” hanging down from the underside of the cap of a mushroom.

Ortega (1995). Notes on Mycena pseudotenax A. H. Smith (Agaricales). Sydowia 47 (2): 159-166. The holotype of Mycena pseudotenax has been studied and compared with material collected in Andalusia (Southern Spain). Macroscopical and microscopical characters indicate a close relationship to Hydropus scabripes, from which it differs in the structure of the pileipellis and size of cystidia and spores. The study of typical material of Hydropus scabripes f. safranopes (Malenc.) has revealed that this taxon is a synonym of Mycena pseudotenax. The combination Hydropus pseudotenax comb. nov. is proposed. Finally, the taxonomic position of this species is discussed and a comparison with other closely related taxa is made. Keywords: Mycena pseudotenax, Hydropus scabripes f. safranopes, taxonomy, Andalusia, Spain. During some mycological journeys conducted through the autumn of 1992 in Andalusia (Southern Spain), a collection identified as Mycena sp. „in situ" was found, growing abundantly on Pinus halepensis humus. After microscopical examination, this material revealed characters such as non-amyloid trama, amyloid spores, intracellular pigments and very protruding pleurocystidia.
