Adding to the confusion, the company which patented the culti- vation of “hon-shimeji” in 2006 slyly tried to make their brand “Daikoku shimeji” the new “official” name for the mushroom. Believe it or not, the shimeji taste is shrouded in mystery as well. “The fragrance of the matsutake, the taste of the shimeji” one saying goes in Ja- pan. But what is that taste? Japanese chemist Ikeda Kikunae identified a flavor in 1908 which he identified as “umami” which he added to salty, bitter, sweet, and sour spectrum. “Umami” has been identified as one taste often associated with food such as the Japanese flavor given to soup stock by bonito flakes and kombu dashi. It turns out that L. shimeji is abundant in guanylic, glu- tamic, and aspartic acids which give foods “umami”. Plenty of nostalgic lore is attached to the mush- room as well. Hongo Tsuguo, the mycologist who published the mushroom in its current genus, re- calls fondly in his memoirs collecting shimeji with caps more than 10 cm in diameter and eating them braised in oil with green onion with his fami- ly.

Current Research in Environmental & Applied Mycology 5(3), 213–247, Doi 10.5943/cream/5/3/6 Abstract This paper includes the results of eco-taxonomic studies of coprophilous mushrooms in Punjab, India. The information is based on the survey to dung localities of the state during the various years from 2007-2011. A total number of 172 collections have been observed, growing as saprobes on dung of various domesticated and wild herbivorous animals in pastures, open areas, zoological parks, and on dung heaps along roadsides or along village ponds, etc. High coprophilous mushrooms’ diversity has been established and a number of rare and sensitive species recorded with the present study. The observed collections belong to 95 species spread over 20 genera and 07 families of the order Agaricales. The present paper discusses the distribution of these mushrooms in Punjab among different seasons, regions, habitats, and growing habits along with their economic utility, habitat management and conservation. This is the first attempt in which various dung localities of the state has been explored systematically to ascertain the diversity, seasonal availability, distribution and ecology of coprophilous mushrooms.

Based on ten morphological characteristics, the samples were assigned to fifteen groups, each representing a distinct species. Eleven groups were identified to species level, while the remaining four could not, and it is suggested that they are Agaricales sensu Lato. The most predominant species was Chlorophylum molybdites (15 samples). The identified species belonged to three orders: Agaricales, Phallales and Polyporales. Agaricales was represented by four families (Psathyrellaceae, Lepiotaceae, Podaxaceae and Amanitaceae), but Phallales and Polyporales were represented by only one family each (Phallaceae and Hymenochaetaceae, respectively), each of which included a single species. The genetic diversity of the samples was studied by the RAPD-PCR technique, using six random 10-nucleotide primers. Three of the primers (OPL3, OPL8 and OPQ1) worked on fifty-two of the fifty-six samples and gave a total of 140 bands.

Foster, [email protected] Abstract: Fungi are often inconspicuous in nature and this means it is all too easy to overlook their importance. Often referred to as the “Forgotten Kingdom”, fungi are key components of life on this planet. The phylum Basidiomycota, considered to contain the most complex and evolutionarily advanced members of this Kingdom, includes some of the most iconic fungal species such as the gilled mushrooms, puffballs and bracket fungi. Basidiomycetes inhabit a wide range of ecological niches, carrying out vital ecosystem roles, particularly in carbon cycling and as symbiotic partners with a range of other organisms. Specifically in the context of human use, the basidiomycetes are a highly valuable food source and are increasingly medicinally important. In this review, seven main categories, or ‘roles’, for basidiomycetes have been suggested by the authors: as model species, edible species, toxic species, medicinal basidiomycetes, symbionts, decomposers and pathogens, and two species have been chosen as representatives of each category.

Karazin Kharkiv National University [email protected] , [email protected] https://doi.org/10.34142/2708-5848.2020.22.2.01 Hygrophoraceae is a family within Agaricales, which comprises 26 genera and approximately 690 agaricoid species, including ectomycorrhizal, lichen-forming, bryophilous, humus and litter decomposing fungi. Some of these species especially those from genera Cuphophyllus, Hygrocybe, Neohygrocybe and Porpolomopsis are associated with natural grasslands and show extreme sensitivity to the presence of nitrogen-containing fertilizers in their substrate. This makes them indicative species of grasslands of high conservation value. While casual observations of Hygrophoraceae of Ukraine were incorporated in studies of agaricoid fungi as a whole, this family has never been in the focus of special research. Previously accumulated data on the diversity of Hygrophoraceae in Ukraine must be aggregated and revised. We have summarized all available data on the occurrences of Hygrophoraceae in Ukraine, including published papers, open databases, citizen science observations, and the previously unpublished original collection materials. Also, we provide an original description of the rare European species Haasiella venustissima (Fr.) Kotl. & Pouzar ex Chiaffi & Surault, which is reported for the first time from the territory of Ukraine. The resulting checklist of Hygrophoraceae of Ukraine includes 66 species. Leading genera are Hygrophorus (22 species), Hygrocybe (17) and Arrhenia (10); 5 species among them (Hygrocybe punicea, Hyrgocybe splendidissima, Neohygrocybe nitrata, Neohygrocybe ovina, Porpolomopsis calyptriformis) are threatened and according to “IUCN Red List” considered “Vulnerable”.

Institute of General Botany, Johannes Gutenberg-University of Mainz, Müllerweg 6, D-55099 Mainz, Germany Four different Inkcaps were isolated from horse dung and tested for growth on different medium. In addition to normal-shaped mushrooms, three of the isolates formed fruiting body-like structures re- sembling the anamorphs of Rhacophyllus lilaceus, a species originally believed to be asexual. Teleo- morphs of this species were later found and are known as Coprinus clastophyllus, respectively Coprinop- sis clastophylla. The fourth of our isolates also forms mushrooms but most of them are of crippled shape. Well-shaped umbrella-like mushrooms assigns this Inkcap to the clade Coprinellus. ITS se- quencing confirmed that the first three strains and the Rhacophyllus type strain belong to the genus Coprinopsis and that the fourth isolate belongs to the genus Coprinellus. 1. Introduction Inkcaps are a group of about 200 basidiomycetes whose mushrooms usually deliquesce shortly after maturation for spore liberation (see Fig. 1). Until re- cently, they were compiled under the one single genus Coprinus. However, molecular data divided this group into four new genera: Coprinus, Coprinop- sis, Coprinellus and Parasola (Redhead et al. 2001). Genetics and Cellular Biology of Basidiomycetes-VI. A.G.
