Cannon 3 Key words Abstract The class Geoglossomycetes is a recently created class of Ascomycota, currently comprised of one family (GeoglossaceaeF#)"+#$%&#'&"&()#*Geoglossum, Nothomitra, Sarcoleotia, Thuemenidium and Trichoglos­ Ascomycota sum). These fungi, commonly known as earth tongues, have long been a subject of mycological research. However, earth tongues the taxonomy within the group has historically been hindered by the lack of reliable morphological characters, Geoglossum uncertain ecological associations, and the inability to grow these fungi in culture. The phylogenetic relationships of Microglossum Geoglossomycetes were investigated by conducting maximum likelihood and Bayesian analyses using a 4­gene phylogenetics dataset (ITS, LSU, MCM7, RPB1). Five well­supported monophyletic clades were found that did not correspond systematics exactly with the currently recognised genera, necessitating a taxonomic revision of the group. Two new genera are proposed: Glutinoglossum to accommodate G. glutinosum and the newly described species G. heptaseptatum, and Sabuloglossum to accommodate S. arenarium.

    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.

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.

Mycosphere 10(1), 310–489, Doi 10.5943/mycosphere/10/1/7 Abstract Leotiomycetes is regarded as the inoperculate class of discomycetes within the phylum Ascomycota. Taxa are mainly characterized by asci with a simple pore blueing in Melzer’s reagent, although some taxa have lost this character. The monophyly of this class has been verified in several recent molecular studies. However, circumscription of the orders, families and generic level delimitation are still unsettled. This paper provides a modified backbone tree for the class Leotiomycetes based on phylogenetic analysis of combined ITS, LSU, SSU, TEF, and RPB2 loci. In the phylogenetic analysis, Leotiomycetes separates into 19 clades, which can be recognized as orders and order-level clades.

    ARKIV FOR· BOTANIK. BAND 30 A. N:o 4. Tile Geoglossaceae of Sweden (with Regard also to the Surrounding CQuntries). By J. A. NANNFELDT. With 5 plates and 6 figures in the text. Communicated June 4th, 1941, by NILS E. SVEDELIUS and ROB. E. FRIES. There are hardly any Discomycetes that have been the subject of so many monographs as the Geoglossaceae. Already in 1875, COOKE (1875 a, 1875 b) published two monographic studies, and some years later he described and illustrated in his Mycographia (COOKE 1879) the majority of the species known at that time. In 1897, MAssEE published a world monograph of the family, though this paper - as so many other publications by the same author - is mainly a compi­ lation. DURA.ND'S monog-raph (1908, with a supplement in 19~1) of the North American species is a model of accuracy and thoroughness, and indispensable also for other parts of the world. This monograph was the base for a pamphlet by LLOYD (1916) on the Geoglossaceae of the world. If we add v. LUYK'S revision (1919) of the Geoglossaceae in the Rijks­ herbarium at Leiden, with all PERSOON'S specimens, SINDEN & FITZPATRICK'S paper (1930) on a new species of T1'ichoglos8ttrli, IMAI'S studies (1934, 1936 a, 1936 b, 1938) on Japanese species of certain genera, his list of the Norwegian Geoglos8aceae (IMA.I 1940), and MAIN'S papers (1936, 19~0) with descriptions of several new American species, the most important contri­ butions of recent date to the taxonomy of the family have been mentioned.

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.

In an effort to under- Received 12 August 2015 stand the genetic basis of endophytism, we compared the genome contents of X. heveae Received in revised form and 36 other Ascomycota with diverse lifestyles and nutritional modes. We focused on 18 September 2015 genes that are known to be important in the hostefungus interaction interface and that Accepted 5 October 2015 presumably have a role in determining the lifestyle of a fungus. We used phylogenomic Available online 22 October 2015 data to infer the higher-level phylogenetic position of the Xylonomycetes, and mined ITS Corresponding Editor: sequences to explore its taxonomic and ecological diversity.
