Mary Catherine Aime Biosystematic Studies in Crepidotus and the Crepidotaceae (Basidiomycetes, Agaricales) M. Catherine Aime (ABSTRACT) Fungi of the Crepidotaceae are characterized by saprotrophic habit, filamentous cuticle, and brown-pigmented basidiospores that lack either a germ pore or plage. The majority of species belong to Crepidotus, distinguished by their pleurotoid basidiomata. Because of their diverse morphology, the presence of several conflicting classifications, and lack of data regarding the biology, phenotypic plasticity, or phylogeny of these fungi, the present study sought first to determine phylogenetic relationships among the different taxonomic groups as a basis for addressing other aspects of Crepidotus biology and evolution. Sequencing analyses show the Crepidotaceae is not monophyletic, and the family concept is revised. Crepidotus and its sister genus Simocybe are found to be monophyletic. At least nine phylogenetic lineages within Crepidotus were uncovered, although relationships between them could not be resolved. However, none of the previously proposed infrageneric classifications are reflective of phylogeny. Morphological, biological, and phylogenetic species concepts were compared within a single phylogenetic unit, termed the Sphaerula group, showing an unusual amount of phenotypic plasticity exists within species, and a taxonomic revision of these species proposed. Also reported are several unique or unusual aspects of Crepidotus biology, including presence of a prolonged latent period prior to basidiospore germination; spontaneous reversion of differentiated hymenial cells to vegetative growth; and the revelation that structures previously termed pleurocystidia are actually the expression of secondary growth from basidia. Results from mating system, culture, and type studies, reassessment of morphological characters traditionally applied to agaric taxonomy, and a revised life cycle for the Crepidoti are presented. Acknowledgments Many, many, people have been involved in the conduct of this project. Foremost are the members of my doctoral committee, Drs. Orson Miller, Joseph Falkinham, Duncan Porter, Stephen Scheckler, and Rytas Vilgalys. All have, at one time or another, graciously reviewed manuscripts, helped to focus my efforts, and provided much needed critiques and suggestions. Only by benefit of their combined wisdom, guidance, and expertise has this dissertation reached fruition. The culture work could not have been completed during its final year without the assistance of two talented undergraduate researchers, Jessica Ball and Katrina Hochstein. Likewise, I owe an enormous debt to the members of the Mycology Laboratory at Duke University—in particular Drs. Rytas Vilgalys and Jean-Marc Moncalvo, who provided training and unconditional, unlimited access to their facilities during the first three years of the molecular systematic portion of this study. Thanks also to Shian-Ren Liou, Tim James, and Jean-Marc and Jasmine Moncalvo for providing their homes during my sometimes lengthy stays in Durham. Dr. Christoph Neinhuis, formerly of the University of Bonn, Germany, deserves my gratitude for helping to produce most of the scanning electron micrographs of basidiospores. I also wish to thank Doug Slotta and Tracey Bodo Slotta, and Bill Zabaronick whose assistance with technical computer problems during times of duress are greatly appreciated. Basidiomata photographs in Chapter 8, Figs. 8.38-41 and 8.43 are used with the kind permission of Dr. Orson K. Miller. iv I thank Drs. Egon Horak, H. Clémençon, Kenneth Wells, and especially Roy Watling and Tim Baroni, for helpful discussions regarding different aspects of the crepidoti and their biology at various times, from which I have greatly benefited. Dr. Beatrice Senn-Irlet generously provided her notes on the type of C. applanatus and inspired further investigations of these fungi. For their assistance in collecting and/or the donation or loan of Crepidotus material from around the world, without which this study would have been significantly reduced, I thank Dr. Tim Baroni, Dr. Alan Bessette, Dr. Tsutomu Hattori, Terry Henkel, Josh Herr, Yoshinobu Hoashi, Dr. Egon Horak, Sonia Jancovicová, Tim James, Dr. Jim Johnson, Wade Leschyn, Brandon Matheny, Dr. Steve Miller, Dr. Eiji Nagasawa, Dr. Clark Overbo, Dr. Ursula Peintner, Allein Stanley, Dr. Rytas Vilgalys, Dr. Roy Watling, Dr. Kazumasa Yokoyama, the University of Michigan Herbarium, and, of course, Dr. Orson and Hope Miller. Funding for travel and various components of this project was provided by: Mountain Lake Biological Research Station of the University of Virginia, The North American Mycological Association, Sigma Xi, The Mycological Society of America, The U.S. National Science Foundation (#SP-9800003) and Monbusho, The Explorer’s Club Washington Group, The Graduate Student Assembly of Virginia Tech, The Virginia Museum of Natural History, and the Department of Biology of Virginia Tech. I also directly benefited from a grant to Dr. O.K. Miller from the Horton Foundation, and ASPIRES grant (#232095) to Drs. O.K. Miller, E.T. Nilsen, R.H. Jones, D.M. Porter, and H.L. Warren. v Finally, I wish to express my gratitude to Orson K. Miller, Jr., who, as he has done for so many before me and will no doubt continue to do, opened my eyes to the fascinating field of mycology and suggested, as a potentially interesting subject, the study of Crepidotus. vi Contents Introduction 1 Part I.

Accepted 2 January, 2014 Mushrooms are the higher fungi which have long been used for food and medicinal purposes. They have rich nutritional value with high protein content (up to 44.93%), vitamins, minerals, fibers, trace elements and low calories and lack cholesterol. There are 14,000 known species of mushrooms of which 2,000 are safe for human consumption and about 650 of these possess medicinal properties. Among the total known mushrooms, approximately 850 species are recorded from India. Many of them have been used in food and folk medicine for thousands of years. Mushrooms are also sources of bioactive substances including antibacterial, antifungal, antiviral, antioxidant, antiinflammatory, anticancer, antitumour, anti-HIV and antidiabetic activities. Nutriceuticals and medicinal mushrooms have been used in human health development in India as food, medicine, minerals among others. The present review aims to update the current status of mushrooms diversity in India with their nutritional and medicinal potential as well as ethnomedicinal uses for different future prospects in pharmaceutical application. Key words: Mushroom diversity, nutritional value, therapeutic potential, bioactive compound. INTRODUCTION Mushroom is a general term used mainly for the fruiting unexamined mushrooms will be only 5%, implies that body of macrofungi (Ascomycota and Basidiomycota) there are 7,000 yet undiscovered species, which if and represents only a short reproductive stage in their life discovered will be provided with the possible benefit to cycle (Das, 2010).

It is distinguished by having a basidiome with decurrent, distant, white lamellae with evident pink-lilac tinges, the non-depressed pileus at maturity and well developed catenulate cheilocystidia. A description, color photographs of fresh basidiomes and line drawings of relevant microscopic traits are provided. N. dominicanus is morphologically similar to Neopaxillus echinospermus, the type species of the genus. Based on comparative ITS-LSU rDNA gene sequence analyses, Neopaxillus, formerly placed in the Boletales, is considered within the Agaricales where it is sister to Crepidotus (Crepidotaceae), and N. dominicanus is supported as distinct from N. echinospermus. Finally, according to our morphological and molecular analyses, two collections of N. echinospermus from Mexico are referable to N. dominicanus. Key words: Central America, Crepidotoid clade, Mexico, Paxillaceae, Serpulaceae, taxonomy INTRODUCTION Copyright 2011 by The Mycological Society of America. Singer (1948) described the genus Neopaxillus Singer to accommodate a single South American species, N. echinosporus Singer, characterized by a Phylloporus-like habit, distant and strongly decurrent lamellae, slightly bilateral hymenophoral trama, frequent clamp connections, and globose, echinulate brown spores.

A 28S phylogeny of the Omphalotaceae confirms placement of L. Omphalotaceae madagasikarensis within Lentinula. An ITS phylogeny places L. madagasikarensis as the sister group of L. aciculospora, systematics which is a neotropical species. Lentinula madagasikarensis is characterized by robust basidiomata with vinaceous pilei, 1 new taxon prominent floccose scales near the pileus margin, florets of sphaeropedunculate cheilocystidia, and subcylindrical basidiospores.
