The Mycological Society of San Francisco November 2010, Vol. 61:08 The Mycological Society of San Francisco November 2010, vol. 61:08 November 16th MSSF MycoDigest: What’s all the stink about? Meeting Speaker Jennifer Kerekes tinkhorn fungi are known for their foul-smelling odors and remarkable morphologies. Taxonomically, the stinkhorns are currently placed in the gomphoid-phalloid clade in the newS subclass Phallomycetidae (Hosaka et al, 2006), along with earthstars, cannonball fungi, coral fungi, club fungi, tooth fungi, false truffles and even some gilled fungi and resupinate fungi. This gomphoid-phalloid clade is both morphologically and ecologically diverse. Prior to the recent reclassification, two families of stinkhorns were recognized, the Phallaceae family, consisting of those with unbranched stems and including species of Phallus, Mutinus and Dictyophora, and the Clathraceae family, consisting of those with branched stems and latticed structures, such as Clathrus, Lysurus, Colus and Laterna. However, in Hosaka et al., it appears that both families, Phallaceae and Clathraceae, hold up, Dimitar Bojantchev except that Lysurus is in the family Lysuraceae. The Making of an Informed These three families and three other families, Collector: It’s Fun, and make up the order Science Needs it Too! Phallales.

A chemical analysis performed on the diversity around them. gelatinous layer of Clathrus eggs revealed it to be rich in potassium, calcium, manganese and iron (Stijve, 1997). It appears that some stinkhorns concentrate manganese and have much higher concentrations of manganese and iron than other fungi. The author suggests that manganese plays a role in the enzymatic breakdown of the gleba and notes a release of carbon dioxide with the formation of the carrion-like odor. The increase in calcium appears to play a role in stabilizing the gelatinous layer that protects the fruiting body during the growth of the egg. Sapromyiophily – the attraction of flies through mimicry of their food and brood sites (Johnson and Jurgens, 2010) - also occurs, and perhaps is most well known, in angiosperms and certain mosses. Amorphophallus, Rafflesia and Stapelia are well known carrion flowers that attract flies and other insects to aid in pollen dispersal. A recent study by Marino, Raguso and Goffinet in 2009 reported that sapromyiophily occurs in some species of mosses in the family Splachnaceae. Flies are attracted to the odors produced by the moss sporophyte and aid in spore dispersal. Continued on page 5 MycoDigest is dedicated to the scientific review of mycological information.

ERVIN The genus Astraeus, based on Geastrum hygrometricum Pers., was included in the genus Geaster until Morgan9 pointed out several differences which seemed to justify placing the fungus in a distinct genus. Morgan pointed out first, that the basidium-bearing hyphae fill the cavities of the gleba as in Scleroderma; se.cond, that the threads of the capillitium are. long, much-branched, and interwoven, as in Tulostoma; third, that the elemental hyphae of the peridium are scarcely different from the threads of the capillitium and are continuous with them, in this respect, again, agre.eing with Tulos­ toma; fourth, that there is an entire absence of any columella, and, in fact, the existence of a columella is precluded by the nature of the capillitium; fifth, that both thre.ads and spore sizes differ greatly from those of geasters.

Although this species was previously recorded from India, these reports did not include detailed morphological descriptions. Here we describe C. delicatus and provide illustrations and notes on fruitbody development, which has not been well characterized in the past. Key words — Phallaceae, peridial suture, primordia, sporoma, volva-gel Introduction Members of Phallales, commonly called stinkhorns, produce foul-smelling fruitbodies that attract insects. Their distinctive odor is produced by a combination of chemicals such as hydrogen sulfide and methyl mercaptan (List & Freund 1968). Stinkhorns typically develop very quickly, often within few hours, with the spore bearing structures (receptacles) emerging from globose to ovoid structures called ‘myco-eggs’ (Lloyd 1906, Pegler et al. 1995). The order Phallales comprises 2 families, 26 genera, and 88 species (Kirk et al. 2008). Clathroid members of family Phallaceae form multipileate receptacles (Gäumann 1952) with beautiful and bright colored sporomata. Clathrus is unique in having latticed, hollow, spherical or stellate receptacles with slimy glebae (spore masses) borne on their inner surfaces (Pegler et al.

    ISSN: 0975-8585 Research Journal of Pharmaceutical, Biological and Chemical Sciences Analysis of the morphology and growth of the fungus Phallus indusiatus Vent. in Cocoa Plantation, Gaperta-Ujung Medan. Rama R Sitinjak* Faculty of Agrotechnology, Prima Indonesia University, Medan-Indonesia. ABSTRACT This research aimed to analyze the morphological characteristics and growth of the Phallus indusiatus Vent. which belong to the group Stinkhorn fungi. The method used is survey and description. This fungi grows individually, appear twice in one year on the ground that a pile of cocoa leaves that have died, during the heavy rainy season ends. The fungi was first found growing in the area of cocoa plantations in the village Gaperta-Ujung Medan, ie on August 6, 2013, around 9.00 am. Phallus indusiatus have major macroscopic morphological characteristics, namely the fruiting body has a height of ±19.13 cm, hood (cap or pileus) shaped brown cony and the side grooves with a width of ± 3 cm, and a height ± 2.6 cm, yellowish cream-colored gleba, has a white circular ring at the center of the stem, the stem (stalk or stipe) chewy white, cylindrical, cup (volva) gray that secrete mucus such as jellies, have a section that resembles roots (mycelium), has a coat or indusium such a network is creamy white and turned into golden yellow when wilting, that described from the bottom of the cap to the base of the stem. The process of growth and development of mushroom fruit body this happens starting from the egg stage (takes about 24 hours), and the budding stage, maturation stage, the stage of wilting (death) (third last stage of this only takes about 5 hours).

However, use of both these methods is not enough for the protection of rare species of macromycetes. therefore, we need a new method for protecting the rare species of fungi, which support their vital process in not only the laboratory but also reproducing it in nature. In this article, we propose the use of a new method of preserving the rare species of fungi in nature. the re-situ is a method that provides introducing and support of vital functions of mushroom in nature with the forming of their basidioma.
