Proceedings of the Indiana Academy of Science 1 13(2^:99—108 2004. Proceedings of the Indiana Academy of Science 1 13(2^:99—108 RECENT MACROMYCETES RECORDS FROM THREE EAST-CENTRAL INDIANA COUNTIES Donald G. Ruch: Biology Department, Ball State University, Muncie, Indiana 47306 USA ABSTRACT. The Smith Great Lake States Foray was held in east-central Indiana in Fall 2002. Since participants of the foray included professional mycologists from the Great Lake States, this provided an opportunity to significantly increase our knowledge of macromycetes (both ascomycetes and basidiomv- cetes) distribution in Indiana. A total of 108 collections was made from Ginn Woods (Delaware Count} >, Camp Windigo (Grant County), and Wilbur Wright Fish and Wildlife Area (Henry County). Species collected from Camp Windigo and Wilbur Wright Fish and Wildlife Area represent new county records. The 12 collections at Camp Windigo included two ascomycetes, nine basidiomycetes, and one slime mold. while the 16 collections at WWFWA included two ascomycetes and 14 basidiomycetes. Of the 80 collec- tions from Ginn Woods, 53 represent new county records. The 80 collections included six ascomycetes. 73 basidiomycetes, and one mitosporic (imperfect) fungus. None of the species reported from the three sites were unexpected based on general region of distribution for each species. Keywords: Macromycetes, basidiomycetes, ascomycetes, mushrooms.

Parker Department of Biological Sciences University of Wisconsin-Waukesha Waukesha, Wisconsin 53188 Introduction The University of Wisconsin-Waukesha Field Station was founded in 1967 through the generous gift of a 98 acre farm by Ms. Gertrude Sherman. The facility is located approximately nine miles west of Waukesha on Highway 18, just south of the Waterville Road intersection. The site consists of rolling glacial deposits covered with old field vegetation, 20 acres of xeric oak woods, a small lake with marshlands and bog, and a cold water stream. Other communities are being estab- lished as a result of restoration work; among these are mesic prairie, oak opening, and stands of various conifers. A long-term study of higher fungi and Myxomycetes, primarily from the xeric oak woods, was started in 1978.

Laccariopsis is morphologically close to these genera but distinguished by a unique combination of features: a Laccaria-like habit (distant, thick, subdecurrent lamellae), viscid pileus and upper stipe, glabrous stipe with a long pseudorhiza connecting with Ammophila and Juniperus roots and incorporating plant debris and sand particles, pileipellis consisting of a loose ixohymeniderm with slender pileocystidia, large and thin- to thick-walled spores and basidia, thin- to slightly thick-walled hymenial cystidia and caulocystidia, and monomitic stipe tissue. Phylogenetic analyses based on a combined ITS-LSU sequence dataset place Laccariopsis close to Gloiocephala and Rhizomarasmius. Key words — Agaricomycetes, Physalacriaceae, /gloiocephala clade, phylogeny, taxonomy Introduction Hydropus mediterraneus was originally described by Pacioni & Lalli (1985) based on collections from Mediterranean dune ecosystems in Central Italy, Sardinia, and Tunisia. Previous collections were misidentified as Laccaria maritima (Theodor.) Singer ex Huhtinen (Dal Savio 1984) due to their laccarioid habit. The generic attribution to Hydropus Kühner ex Singer by Pacioni & Lalli (1985) was due mainly to the presence of reddish watery droplets on young lamellae and sarcodimitic tissue in the stipe (Corner 1966, Singer 1982).

Its uncertain taxonomic position has led to the description of many synonymous species and placement in different genera. The type species of Hydnum pulcherrimum Berk. &M.A. Curtis is examined for the first time and it is compared with other collections from Malay Peninsula, Pakistan, USA and Spain. The study of Spanish collections enlarges the distribution to the South of Europe. Basidiomycota / Meruliaceae / Climacodon / Donkia / Hydnum / systematics / chorology / taxonomy INTRODUCTION In the last four years, we have collected some basidiomata of a saprophyte fungus with a basidioma of medium size, normally dimidiate with trametoid appearance and hydnoid hymenophore. Microscopically it is characterized by the presence of double or multiple clamp connections, ellipsoid basidiospores and absence of cystidia. Finally, we could determine it, with some difficulties, as a member of the genus Climacodon P. Karst., belonging to the family Meruliaceae P. Karst., order Polyporales Gäum. (Kirk et al., 2001). This genus includes species with conspicuous cystidia and hyphae with single clamp connections, with the only exception of C. pulcherrimus (Berk.

Potential active compounds were separated from fermentation broth by activity tracking and identified in structure by spectrum. The results showed that this fungus had common characteristics as Basidiomycota in morphology. According to 18S rDNA and internal transcribed space (ITS) DNA sequencing, this fungus was identified as Bjerkandera adusta in family Meruliaceae. Two active compounds viz., veratric acid and erythro-1-(3, 5-dichlone-4- methoxyphenyl)-1, 2-propylene glycol were identified by nuclear magnetic resonance spectrum and mass spectrum. Veratric acid was separated for the first time from any fungus, while erythro-1-(3, 5-dichlone-4-methoxyphenyl)-1, 2-propylene glycol was once reported in Bjerkandera.
