Banksiamyces Toomansis 386.29 KB Fungus Factsheet 23 / 2009 Science Division Banksiamyces toomansis Richard Robinson, Science Division, Manjimup, [email protected] © Richard Robinson Species of Banksiamyces are small, stalked, disc-shaped fungi that grow specifically on cones of species of Banksia. Banksiamyces toomansis appears to be the most common species; here it is growing on Banksia quercifolia cones. Despite the large number of Banksias in Western Australia, Banksiamyces do not appear to be common, or perhaps it is because they are easily overlooked. Fruit bodies persist for some time and have the capacity to dry out in unfavourable conditions (inset above: Banksiamyces sp. on Banksia sphaerocarpa) to resurrect during periods of suitable moisture (main photo). In the southwest, the best time to find them in the fully expanded state is late winter to early spring. Banksia toomansis discs range from 2–5mm in diameter and are generally dark charcoal- grey to light grey in colour. Stems are about 5mm long, and generally lighter in colour. The fruit bodies are difficult to see in the dried state. A number of other species have been described, but all look very similar and are difficult to distinguish. Some species are specific to the Banksia host, but Banksiamyyces toomansis appears to grow on a number of different banksias. The scientific name refers to its host and locality where it was first collected in the early 1880s: Banksia-: refers to the host plant species, myc-: fungus or mushroom, i.e. ‘banksia fungus’, toomansis: after the Tooma River in southern NSW.

Mycosphere 10(1), 310–489, Doi 10.5943/mycosphere/10/1/7 Abstract Leotiomycetes is regarded as the inoperculate class of discomycetes within the phylum Ascomycota. Taxa are mainly characterized by asci with a simple pore blueing in Melzer’s reagent, although some taxa have lost this character. The monophyly of this class has been verified in several recent molecular studies. However, circumscription of the orders, families and generic level delimitation are still unsettled. This paper provides a modified backbone tree for the class Leotiomycetes based on phylogenetic analysis of combined ITS, LSU, SSU, TEF, and RPB2 loci. In the phylogenetic analysis, Leotiomycetes separates into 19 clades, which can be recognized as orders and order-level clades.

  • Ascomycetes Or “Sac” Fungi
    Ascomycetes or “sac” fungi This large group of fungi account for over 75% of described fungal species. It includes most of the fungi that combine with algae to form lichens, and the majority of fungi that lack morphological evidence of sexual reproduction, the latter reproducing from conidia in an asexual form of the fungus. Of the fungi that reproduce sexually, the spores are produced inside a club shaped or cylindrical structure, an ascus, from the Greek “wine skin”. Usually 8 spores are produced in each ascus, but there can be more or less spores. Conidia & asexual spores Some fungi reproduce by asexual spores on conidia. These spores are produced quickly and are usually short lived but they can be spread readily by air currents. The sexual form of the fungus is usually an ascomycete, but it can be a basidiomycete. In many cases the sexual form is not known or has been lost in evolution. The conidial form is then classified in the Subdivision Deuteromycotina, and sometimes referred to as “Fungi Imperfecti” Anamorph and Telemorph Anamorph is a term used for the asexual form, and telemorph for the sexual form. As the structures are produced in each of these forms of the fungi at different times, frequently it is impossible to tell if the two forms belong to a particular fungus. Some progress is being made by DNA analysis to find a connection between an anamorph and its telemorph. This fungus can then be considered as a holomorph. Some fungi have lost the sexual form of reproduction and exist only as the anamorph.

  • The Victorian Naturalist
    The Victorian Naturalist Volume 124 (3) June 2007 Published by The Field Naturalists Club of Victoria since 1884 From the Editors It has been observed often that the pursuit of natural history encompasses a wide range of areas. This diversity is nowhere more apparent than in this issue of The Victorian Naturalist. Here we have papers on grasslands, the behaviour of birds and mammals in wooded areas, the dietary preferences of one reptilian species, as well as observations on another, and comments on small mammals. This is biodiversity, indeed. This issue also demonstrates another long-running feature of the FNCV’s journal. The Victorian Naturalist has long provided an avenue to publish natural history research that either includes historical aspects of the subject matter, or takes history as the major focus. The Editors are always pleased to include articles that explain how the state of play in any natural science area was reached. That is not to say that we turn away from what is the main thrust of the journal - the publication of research in natural history - but, rather that we recognise that intellectual disciplines are constantly changing, and some account of these changes also should be recognised. In this issue we offer two papers that bear out this point. There is a paper that consid- ers a major change that has taken place in natural history studies. In addition, the paper on native grasslands on the Momington Peninsula is an excellent example of the use of history as an element within a good natural history study. The Victorian Naturalist is published six times per year by the Field Naturalists Club of Victoria Inc.
