(2020) Inocybe antoniniana, a new species of Inocybe section Marginatae with nodulose spores. – Sydowia 72: 95–106. Inocybe antoniniana, a new species of Inocybe section Marginatae is described in detail along with illustrations of its macro- and micromorphology. It is a nodulose-spored species with yellowish-ochraceous pileus colour and smooth to (sub)rimulose pi- leus surface, that was found up to now in Turkey, Austria and Germany. It differs from other species of the group with equally coloured pilei (e.g. I. xanthomelas, I. phaeocystidiosa or I. krieglsteineri) by smaller, often (sub)isodiametrical basidiospores, rather short and slim hymenial cystidia, and ITS sequence data.

  • Preface to Artificial Key to Common and Noteworthy Species of Inocybe from the Pacific Northwest
    Preface to Artificial Key to Common and Noteworthy Species of Inocybe from the Pacific Northwest This key is aimed at an audience familiar with the determination of agarics in general but unfamiliar with Inocybe. The key stresses gross morphological characters as I think appropriate before yielding to taxa that are better distinguished microscopically. 43 species are enumerated below and several others are mentioned, but probably over 100 occur in the Pacific Northwest, a region circumscribed to include British Columbia, Washington, Idaho, western Montana, Oregon, and northern California. Of the 43 species in the key, few are endemic to the region based on gross morphological species concepts. However, the key is recommended for use with Pacific Northwest material. Many eastern North American species of Inocybe, for example, do not occur in the Pacific Northwest and are excluded from this treatment. The genus Inocybe (Fr.) Fr. traditionally has encompassed dull brown-spored agarics that are ectomycorrhizal and frequently occur on soil; exhibit a dry pileus that is often rimose, fibrillose, or scaly; and have a distinctive smell that is often spermatic or less often fruity, sweet, aromatic, like bruised Geranium leaves, like Lycoperdon, or green corn. Species of Hebeloma differ by their gelatinous pileus, often radish smell, typically verrucose basidiospores, and absence of metuloid cystidia. Decomposers such as Phaeomarasmius and Flammulaster differ by their occurrence on woody debris and lack of metuloid cystidia. The Crepidotaceae, including Pleuroflammula and Simocybe, is the closest related group to Inocybe, which I treat as a separate family in its own right (see Matheny et al. (2006) Mycologia 98:982- 995).

  • Improving Phylogenetic Inference of Mushrooms with RPB1 and RPB2 Nucleotide Sequences (Inocybe; Agaricales)
    Molecular Phylogenetics and Evolution 35 (2005) 1–20 www.elsevier.com/locate/ympev Improving phylogenetic inference of mushrooms with RPB1 and RPB2 nucleotide sequences (Inocybe; Agaricales) P. Brandon Matheny¤,1 Biology Department, Box 351330, University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98195-5325, USA Received 9 July 2003; revised 15 May 2004 Available online 18 January 2005 Abstract Approximately 3000 bp across 84 taxa have been analyzed for variable regions of RPB1, RPB2, and nLSU-rDNA to infer phylo- genetic relationships in the large ectomycorrhizal mushroom genus Inocybe (Agaricales; Basidiomycota). This study represents the Wrst eVort to combine variable regions of RPB1 and RPB2 with nLSU-rDNA for low-level phylogenetic studies in mushroom-form- ing fungi. Combination of the three loci increases non-parametric bootstrap support, Bayesian posterior probabilities, and resolution for numerous clades compared to separate gene analyses. These data suggest the evolution of at least Wve major lineages in Inocybe— the Inocybe clade, the Mallocybe clade, the Auritella clade, the Inosperma clade, and the Pseudosperma clade. Additionally, many clades nested within each major lineage are strongly supported. These results also suggest the family Crepiodataceae sensu stricto is sister to Inocybe. Recognition of Inocybe at the family level, the Inocybaceae, is recommended. 2004 Elsevier Inc. All rights reserved.

  • Do Fungal Fruitbodies and Edna Give Similar Biodiversity Assessments Across Broad Environmental Gradients?
    Supplementary material for Man against machine: Do fungal fruitbodies and eDNA give similar biodiversity assessments across broad environmental gradients? Tobias Guldberg Frøslev, Rasmus Kjøller, Hans Henrik Bruun, Rasmus Ejrnæs, Anders Johannes Hansen, Thomas Læssøe, Jacob Heilmann- Clausen 1 Supplementary methods. This study was part of the Biowide project, and many aspects are presented and discussed in more detail in Brunbjerg et al. (2017). Environmental variables. Soil samples (0-10 cm, 5 cm diameter) were collected within 4 subplots of the 130 sites and separated in organic (Oa) and mineral (A/B) soil horizons. Across all sites, a total of 664 soil samples were collected. Organic horizons were separated from the mineral horizons when both were present. Soil pH was measured on 10g soil in 30 ml deionized water, shaken vigorously for 20 seconds, and then settling for 30 minutes. Measurements were done with a Mettler Toledo Seven Compact pH meter. Soil pH of the 0-10 cm soil layer was calculated weighted for the proportion of organic matter to mineral soil (average of samples taken in 4 subplots). Organic matter content was measured as the percentage of the 0-10 cm core that was organic matter. 129 of the total samples were measured for carbon content (LECO elemental analyzer) and total phosphorus content (H2SO4-Se digestion and colorimetric analysis). NIR was used to analyze each sample for total carbon and phosphorus concentrations. Reflectance spectra was analyzed within a range of 10000-4000 cm-1 with a Antaris II NIR spectrophotometer (Thermo Fisher Scientific). A partial least square regression was used to test for a correlation between the NIR data and the subset reference analyses to calculate total carbon and phosphorous (see Brunbjerg et al.

  • Education & Outreach Report 2018
    Education & Outreach Report 2018 Dr Eleanor Landy Fungal Education & Outreach Chair The BMS Fungal Education and Outreach (FEO) committee is committed to raising awareness of fungi and fungal science across the whole educational spectrum; from enthusiasts, families and children to higher education and business. To this end, the FEO committee has continued to support both the field mycology committee and fungal research committee in developing tangible outcomes for public engagement in 2018. Education: We continue to build close links with the Royal Society of Biology through membership of their Education Policy Advisory Group (EPAG) steering group committee, which reports to SCORE and Ofqual on primary, secondary and post-16 science education issues. As well as this group, we have widened our involvement with other educational groups such as MiSAC (Microbiology in Schools advisory committee) and PLINK (Plant Link UK). Our Primary and Secondary school resources portfolio was expanded this year and have been shared with the educational community on various web-based platforms e.g. TES (Times Educational Supplement). Resources old and new are currently under development/renewal and will be available to download from the BMS/UKFD website in due course. We are continuing to develop liaison with schools through our outreach arm, UK Fungus Day, with several teachers using our educational resources to develop lesson plans within the classroom and after school science clubs. We are working toward a second British Mycological Society FEO award for outstanding contribution to Education and Public Outreach and shall announce the outcome after the Spring 2019 vote on this matter. The Eileen Chattaway models are now housed and on display at the Bournemouth Natural Science Society Museum (since this spring) and are available to loan to interested members subject to Terms and Conditions.

  • Key to Species of Inocybaceae from Eastern North America – V7 (17 Jan 2020)
    Key to Species of Inocybaceae from eastern North America – v7 (17 Jan 2020) P. Brandon Matheny, University of Tennessee Note: V7 now incorporates the generic-level taxonomic system proposed by Matheny, Hobbs, & Esteve-Raventós (2020). V7 also added I. sambucina confirmed from Massachusetts and an updated entry for I. subradiata. V5 (short-lived) and v6 clarified some minor differences between I. maritimoides and I. parceocoacta. Entries for I. mixtilis were updated to I. occulta and I. ceskae following Esteve-Raventós et al. (2018). Inocybe acuta sensu Grund & D.E. Stuntz (1977) is the same as I. borealis, and now I. bufonia was explicitly incorporated in the key. The present status of I. praenodulosa is not clear in that the type needs to be examined to confirm placement of caulocystidia on the lower part of the stipe. Inocybe grammopodia was confirmed from New York by Joel Horman and is now included in the key near I. cincinnata. Inocybe tjallingiorum was included based on samples from northern Canada. This unpublished key includes treatment of ca. 220 species, varieties, and forms of Inocybaceae documented from eastern North America, including Central America and the Caribbean Basin (172 Inocybe, 20 Inosperma, 11 Mallocybe, 18 Pseudosperma; a few combinations remain to be done). The number of species included is based on a survey of the literature but also notes from unpublished type studies by D.E. Stuntz, L.R. Hesler, and myself. Ca. 60 taxonomic synonyms are currently accepted, 11 species are considered doubtful, and 5 species are excluded in other genera. 80 North American species recorded only from western North America are listed at the end of this document.

  • Rushbeds Wood on 24Th August 2019
    FUNGI WALK at RUSHBEDS WOOD ON 24TH AUGUST 2019 Penny Cullington This was our first event of the 2019 Autumn season – arranged at the last minute in the hope of some interesting fruiting as a result of quite recent rain though the day was very warm and sunny. A good turnout – 12 attendees including one brave new member – enjoyed an excellent light‐hearted morning and enough fungi to keep us busy. We’ve not visited the site in late summer / early autumn for quite a few years though we fairly often come here in springtime, so it’s no surprise that of our list of 42 species just under half were new to the wood (according to our records), with one new to the county. The underlying clay here tends to keeps things moist for longer than in many of our regular Chiltern sites where the very recent warm conditions had no doubt discouraged any fruiting which had started. In the car park there was a good collection of fresh Scleroderma verrucosum (Scaly Earthball) coming up ‐ an encouraging sign early on that things fungal might be moving here. Derek dutifully checked the spores later at home to confirm the determination: this species can be, in the field, extremely similar to the slightly less common S. areolatum (Leopard Earthball), though I was fairly confident from the markings of today’s collection that this would be the former. See the two inserts below where the difference in markings between the two species appears quite obvious, but this is by no means always the case, believe me.

Spain With 1 figure and 3 tables Ortega, A., J. Lorite & F. Valle (2010): Mycorrhizal macrofungi diversity (Agaricomycetes) from Mediterranean Quercus forests; a compilation for the Iberian Peninsula (Spain and Portugal). - Nova Hedwigia 91: 1–31. Abstract: A compilation study has been made of the mycorrhizal Agaricomycetes from several sclerophyllous and deciduous Mediterranean Quercus woodlands from Iberian Peninsula. Firstly, we selected eight Mediterranean taxa of the genus Quercus, which were well sampled in terms of macrofungi. Afterwards, we performed a database containing a large amount of data about mycorrhizal biota of Quercus. We have defined and/or used a series of indexes (occurrence, affinity, proportionality, heterogeneity, similarity, and taxonomic diversity) in order to establish the differences between the mycorrhizal biota of the selected woodlands. The 605 taxa compiled here represent an important amount of the total mycorrhizal diversity from all the vegetation types of the studied area, estimated at 1,500–1,600 taxa, with Q. ilex subsp. ballota (416 taxa) and Q. suber (411) being the richest. We also analysed their quantitative and qualitative mycorrhizal flora and their relative richness in different ways: woodland types, substrates and species composition. The results highlight the large amount of mycorrhizal macrofungi species occurring in these mediterranean Quercus woodlands, the data are comparable with other woodland types, thought to be the richest forest types in the world.
