Plant Taxon. 27(1): 67‒77, 2020 (June) © 2020 Bangladesh Association of Plant Taxonomists PLECTOLOGICAL AND MOLECULAR IDENTIFICATION OF ECONOMICALLY IMPORTANT WILD RUSSULALES MUSHROOMS FROM PAKISTAN AND THEIR ANTIFUNGAL POTENTIAL AGAINST FOOD PATHOGENIC FUNGUS ASPERGILLUS NIGER 1 SAMINA SARWAR*, TANZEELA AZIZ, MUHAMMAD HANIF , SOBIA ILYAS, 2 3 MALKA SABA , SANA KHALID AND MUHAMMAD FIAZ Department of Botany, Lahore College for Women University, Lahore, Pakistan Keywords: Aseptate; Biocontrol; Macrofungi; Micromycetes; Mycochemicals. Abstract Present study deals with the plectological and molecular analysis as well as use of economically important wild Russuloid mushrooms against food pathogenic fungus Aspergillus niger. Three different species of mushrooms viz., Russla laeta, R. nobilis, and R. nigricans were collected and identified from Himalayan range of Pakistan and are found as new records for this country. Major objective of this study was to highlight the importance of these wild creatures as antifungal agents against A. niger. For this purpose methanolic extract of selected mushrooms of different concentration levels viz., 1, 1.5, 2 and 3% were used. This activity is also first time reported from Pakistan by using this group of mushrooms. Results showed that all tested mushrooms exhibit growth inhibition of A. niger and can be used as biocontrol agents. R. nigricans showed maximum inhibition of fungus growth that is 62% at 3% concentrations while minimum inhibition was observed in R. nobilis at same concentration that is 43.6%. Introduction Many people in Pakistan depend on agriculture but various crops are contaminated by phytopathogenic fungi (i.e., Aspergillus, Fusarium, Penicillium) during pre and post-harvesting processes. -

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. -

Compositional features and antioxidant, antibacterial, antibiofilm, and cytotoxic activities were analyzed. The studied mushroom species were identified as being rich sources of carbohydrates and of low caloric value. Mannitol was the most abundant free sugar and quinic and malic acids the major organic acids detected. The four tocopherol isoforms were found, and polyunsaturated fatty acids were the predominant fat constituents. -

PREFACE In Finland wild-growing products such as mushrooms and berries grow in abundance in forests and are traditionally used as a source of food by the Finns. Although the majority of edible mushrooms growing in Finnish forests are not consumed, picking mushrooms is a common activity for a large part of the population. Fungi are widely recognised to have a good nutritional value and in the recent years younger gener- ations in particular seem to have taken a culinary interest in mushrooms. As mushrooms may be freely picked and consumed there is no monitoring sys- tem to control the amounts of trace elements that enter the human body from the consumption of fungi. In Finland the levels of trace elements in fungi have not been extensively researched apart from the studies carried out in the turn of the 1970s and 1980s (Hinneri 1975, Laaksovirta & Alakuijala 1978, Laaksovirta & Lodenius 1979, Kuusi et al. -

9B Taxonomy to Genus
Fungus and Lichen Genera in the NEMF Database Taxonomic hierarchy: phyllum > class (-etes) > order (-ales) > family (-ceae) > genus. Total number of genera in the database: 526 Anamorphic fungi (see p. 4), which are disseminated by propagules not formed from cells where meiosis has occurred, are presently not grouped by class, order, etc. Most propagules can be referred to as "conidia," but some are derived from unspecialized vegetative mycelium. A significant number are correlated with fungal states that produce spores derived from cells where meiosis has, or is assumed to have, occurred. These are, where known, members of the ascomycetes or basidiomycetes. However, in many cases, they are still undescribed, unrecognized or poorly known. (Explanation paraphrased from "Dictionary of the Fungi, 9th Edition.") Principal authority for this taxonomy is the Dictionary of the Fungi and its online database, www.indexfungorum.org. For lichens, see Lecanoromycetes on p. 3.

Verbeken1, D. Stubbe1,2, K. van de Putte1, U. Eberhardt³, J. Nuytinck1,4 Key words Abstract Six new sequestrate Lactarius species are described from tropical forests in South East Asia. Extensive macro- and microscopical descriptions and illustrations of the main anatomical features are provided. Similarities Arcangeliella with other sequestrate Russulales and their phylogenetic relationships are discussed. The placement of the species gasteroid fungi within Lactarius and its subgenera is confirmed by a molecular phylogeny based on ITS, LSU and rpb2 markers. hypogeous fungi A species key of the new taxa, including five other known angiocarpous species from South East Asia reported to Lactarius exude milk, is given. The diversity of angiocarpous fungi in tropical areas is considered underestimated and driving Martellia evolutionary forces towards gasteromycetization are probably more diverse than generally assumed. The discovery morphology of a large diversity of angiocarpous milkcaps on a rather local tropical scale was unexpected, and especially the phylogeny fact that in Sri Lanka more angiocarpous than agaricoid Lactarius species are known now.
