Amylostereum, Echinodontium, Echinodontiellum; Laurilia; Echinodontiellum, and Larssoniporia form the Echinodontiaceae clade. The Bondarzewiaceae Lauriliella clade includes Bondarzewia, Heterobasidion, Laurilia, and Lauriliella. The new genus Lauriliella is established for the species initially described as Stereum taxodii and Lauriliella taiwanensis new to science. The monotypic genus Perplexostereum forms a distinct clade. A key to the genera in the Echinodontiaceae and Bondarzewiaceae as well to Perplexostereum is provided.

Importantly, the evolution of this mating behavior is precisely timed with the onset of diversification of mating type alleles at the pheromone/receptor mating type loci that are known to control reciprocal nuclear migration during mating.

Abstract Downloaded from Incompatibility systems in which individuals bearing identical alleles reject each other favor the maintenance of a diversity of alleles. Mushroom mating type loci (MAT) encode for dozens or hundreds of incompatibility alleles whose loss from the population is greatly restricted through negative frequency selection, leading to a system of alleles with highly divergent sequences. Here, we use DNA sequences of homeodomain (HD) encoding genes at the locus of five MAT http://mbe.oxfordjournals.org/ closely related species of the root rot basidiomycete Heterobasidion annosum sensu lato to show that the extended coalescence time of MAT alleles greatly predates speciation in the group, contrasting loci outside of MAT that show allele divergences largely consistent with the species phylogeny with those of MAT, which show rampant trans-species poly- morphism.

Taylor of the University of California, Berkeley. Exeter team member Meredith Jones spotted the hard-to-detect organisms by marking them with fluorescent tags. The trick re- vealed fungal cells attached to algal cells as if parasitizing them. M. Jones One of the big questions about early fungi is whether they might have arisen from “some kind of parasitic ancestor like Rozella,” says Rytas Vilgalys of Duke University. Interesting, yes. But loosening the definition of fungi to include organisms without chitin walls could wreak havoc in the concept of that group, objects Robert Lücking of the Field Museum in Chicago. “I would actually conclude, based on the evidence, that these are not fungi,” he says.

Delong-Duhon and Robin K. Bagley Department of Biology, University of Iowa, Iowa City, IA 52242 [email protected] Abstract Stereum is a globally widespread genus of basidiomycete fungi with conspicuous shelf-like fruiting bodies. Several species have been extensively studied due to their economic importance, but broader Stereum taxonomy has been stymied by pervasive morphological crypsis in the genus. Here, we provide a preliminary investigation into species boundaries among some North American Stereum. The nominal species Stereum ostrea has been referenced in field guides, textbooks, and scientific papers as a common fungus with a wide geographic range and even wider morphological variability. We use ITS sequence data of specimens from midwestern and eastern North America, alongside morphological and ecological characters, to show that Stereum ostrea is a complex of at least three reproductively isolated species. Preliminary morphological analyses show that these three species correspond to three historical taxa that were previously synonymized with S. ostrea: Stereum fasciatum, Stereum lobatum, and Stereum subtomentosum. Stereum hirsutum ITS sequences taken from GenBank suggest that other Stereum species may actually be species complexes. Future work should apply a multilocus approach and global sampling strategy to better resolve the taxonomy and evolutionary history of this important fungal genus.

Smith Estimation of soundwood volume and value is particularly important in British Columbia because nearly half of the forests are overmature or decadent. The objective of this thesis was to develop -analytical techniques to define distribution of gross and net volumes within individual standing trees in order that appropriate reductions for decay could be made for estimates of volumes of logs of specified sizes and grades. Relationships of heartr-ot to stand and tree characteristics and to external abnormalities were analysed for 369 western hemlock (Tsuga heterophilla (Rafn.)

Genetic mapping of virulence and evolutionary history Abstract Heterobasidion annosum (Fr.) Bref. sensu lato (s.l.) is a necrotrophic pathogen causing damage to conifers in the Northern Hemisphere. H. annosum s.l. consists of five species: three European [H. annosum sensu stricto (s.s.), H. parviporum and H. abietinum] and two North American (H. irregulare and H. occidentale); all with different but partially overlapping host preferences. A multilocus phylogenetic tree was built and the divergence times were estimated. Plate tectonics is likely to have been the main factor influencing Heterobasidion speciation and biogeography. Along with the geographical separation, the Heterobasidion species have specialized on different host genera. The H. annosum species complex originated in Laurasia and the H. annosum s.s./H. irregulare and H. parviporum/H. abietinum/H. occidentale ancestral species emerged between 45 million–60 million years ago in the Palaearctic. The data imply that H. irregulare and H. occidentale colonized North America via different routes: H. irregulare colonizing from the east via Trans Atlantic land bridges and H. occidentale colonizing from the west via the Bering Land Bridge. Alternatively H. occidentale originated from North America. Identification of virulence factors is important for understanding the Heterobasidion–conifer pathosystem.
