Macrofungi from Abies cephalonica forests and other intermixed tree species (Oxya Mt., central Greece) 1 2 1 D.M. DIMOU *, G.I. ZERVAKIS & E. POLEMIS * [email protected] 1Agricultural University of Athens, Lab. of General & Agricultural Microbiology, Iera Odos 75, GR-11855 Athens, Greece 2 [email protected] National Agricultural Research Foundation, Institute of Environmental Biotechnology, Lakonikis 87, GR-24100 Kalamata, Greece Abstract — In the course of a nine-year inventory in Mt. Oxya (central Greece) fir forests, a total of 358 taxa of macromycetes, belonging in 149 genera, have been recorded. Ninety eight taxa constitute new records, and five of them are first reports for the respective genera (Athelopsis, Crustoderma, Lentaria, Protodontia, Urnula). One hundred and one records for habitat/host/substrate are new for Greece, while some of these associations are reported for the first time in literature. Key words — biodiversity, macromycetes, fir, Mediterranean region, mushrooms Introduction The mycobiota of Greece was until recently poorly investigated since very few mycologists were active in the fields of fungal biodiversity, taxonomy and systematic. Until the end of ’90s, less than 1.000 species of macromycetes occurring in Greece had been reported by Greek and foreign researchers. Practically no collaboration existed between the scientific community and the rather few amateurs, who were active in this domain, and thus useful information that could be accumulated remained unexploited. Until then, published data were fragmentary in spatial, temporal and ecological terms. The authors introduced a different concept in their methodology, which was based on a long-term investigation of selected ecosystems and monitoring-inventorying of macrofungi throughout the year and for a period of usually 5-8 years.

COLLETT NATURAL AREA, ALBERTA Report prepared for Alberta Environment and Parks Charles Durham Bird, Box 22, Erskine, AB, T0C 1G0; [email protected] March 7, 2018 The Area Aerial photograph and Trail Map of the Natural Area The J.J. Collett Provincial Natural Area is located in rural central Alberta near the hamlet of Morningside. It consists of 635 acres of Aspen Parkland underlain by ancient sand dunes. Over 18 km of maintained trails wind through a mosaic of shrub lands, aspen groves, stands of white spruce on moist shady hillsides, wetlands and grassy meadows typical of the area. 1 White spruce woods on Trail 4 “Before 1974, the area presently known as the J. J. Collett Natural Area was privately owned and the site of logging and mill operation and pasture grazing. The marsh in the northeast corner was drained by an adjacent landowner. In 1974, 240 ha (600 acres) were purchased by the Alberta Department of Environment in trust that the area would be used for environmental education (NAP 1987). In 1975, a protected reservation was applied to the area and administration was transferred to Alberta Energy and Natural Resources. Ducks Unlimited Canada was granted a license in 1976 to construct a water control structure in an attempt to reestablish the drained marsh in the northeast corner of the natural area. Most of the area was designated a provincial natural area in 1976 by an Order in Council (OC 653/76). In 1982, an additional 16.2 ha (40 acres) were obtained and placed under protective notation (PNT 820462).

Illinitone A (1) exhibited weak phytotoxic and moderate nematicidal activities against Caenorhabditis elegans, illini- tone B (2) was moderately cytotoxic, while limacellone (3) exhibited weak cytotoxic and phytotoxic activities. The muurolane sesquiterpene 4a was found to be inactive in the assays performed here. Limacellone (3), which appeared to be related with the illinitones 1 and 2, has a new C15 carbon skeleton.

    Volume 58:3 May-June 2018 www.namyco.org Gary Lincoff (1942-2018) by David Rust, NAMA President Society. Predating his involvement with the club was one of its founders: John Cage, who was also instrumental in founding NAMA. When Lincoff discovered mushrooms, he convinced the New York Botanic Garden to allow him to teach classes, a relationship which lasted over 40 years. In 1978, Gary wrote a book with Colorado mycologist and doctor D.H. Mitchel, Toxic and Hallucinogenic Mushroom Poisoning: A Handbook for Physicians and Mushroom Hunters. The book’s popularity led to publication in 1981 of The Audubon Society Field Guide to North American Mushrooms, a watershed moment for people of all interests in the field of mycology. He organized NAMA's “exotic forays” to far places including Siberia, where he learned firsthand about native uses of Amanita muscaria. Gary led forays in New York every week of the year, no matter the weather. He was a constant participant in events across the nation, including the Annual Gary Lincoff Foray, sponsored by the Western Pennsylvania Mushroom Club. Gary was often the Principal Mycologist at the Mid-Atlantic Mushroom Foray. At last year's Telluride Mushroom Festival, participants in the annual parade honored him by coming as “Gary Lincoff ”, incorporating his standard vest and hat into a costume. Gary Lincoff was the author or editor of num- erous books and articles on mushrooms, including his I'm sad to report the passing of Gary Lincoff, recent publication, The Complete Mushroom Hunter, An a driving force in the early years of NAMA, a Illustrated Guide to Finding, Harvesting, and Enjoying Wild great contributor to amateurs, and a constant Mushrooms.
