Ima Executive Committee Meeting 2016 Meeting Committee Executive Ima (6) Reports IMA EXECUTIVE COMMITTEE MEETING 2016 REPORTS MBT records exist, of which 449 are neotypes or epitypes. For the past year, the day-to-day curation has been done by Nathalie van de Wiele; the IMA is very grateful for her efforts. Nomenclatural support was provided by Shaun Pennycook. Konstanze Bensch (working with Dagmar Triebel in Munich) will be employed as the new curator from 1 June 2016. The ICTF has been approached regarding the possibility of mobilizing its subcommissions and working groups as taxon curators. This will need to be carefully coordinated. Training of remote MycoBank curators was undertaken in February 2016 with Conrad Schoch, Barbara Robbertse, Scott Redhead, Tom May, Maria Paz Martin Esteban, all trained to use Citrix remote access accounts with full access to curation The IMA Executive Committee met on Awards and Conference bids into one tools. 16 April 2016 at the CBS-KNAW Fungal document.

    Field Mycology Volume 2(1), January 2001 THE LARGER CUP FUNGI IN BRITAIN - part 2 Pezizaceae (excluding Peziza & Plicaria) Brian Spooner Herbarium, Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond, Surrey TW9 3AE he first part of this series (Spooner, 2000) provided a brief introduction to cup fungi or ‘discomycetes’, and considered in particular the ‘operculate’ species, those in T which the ascus opens (dehisces) via an apical lid or operculum.These constitute the order Pezizales and include most of the larger discomycete species. A key to the 12 families of Pezizales represented in Britain was given. In the present part, a key to the British genera of the Pezizaceae is provided, together with brief descriptions of the genera and keys to the species of all genera other than Peziza and Plicaria.These two genera, which include over sixty species in Britain alone, will be considered in Part 3. A glossary of technical terms is given at the end of the article. Pezizaceae Dumort.

Based on morphological and molecular characters, Spongiforma is described as a new genus of gasteroid boletes belonging in the Boletineae. It is represented by a single species, S. thailandica, that is putatively mycorrhizal with dipterocarp trees in central Thailand. Unusual morphological features include a sponge-like, astipitate, epigeous basidiome with large exposed locules and a strong coal tar odor, and rugulose, reddish brown basidiospores with an apical pore that become smooth and violet grey in 3% potasium hydroxide solution. A description, illustrations, phylogenetic analysis and comparison with allied taxa are presented. Key words: Agaricomycotina, Basidiomycota, Boletineae, molecular phylogenetics, taxonomy.

  • Keys to the Genera of Truffles (Ascomycetes)
    7/12/07 Trappe & Castellano 1 KEYS TO THE GENERA OF TRUFFLES (ASCOMYCETES) James M. Trappe Department of Forest Science, Oregon State University, Corvallis, Oregon 97331-5705 and Michael A. Castellano U.S.D.A., Forest Service, Pacific Northwest Research Station, Forestry Sciences Laboratory, Corvallis, Oregon 97331 INTRODUCTION Truffles are belowground (hypogeous) relatives of the cup fungi (Castellano et al., 1989; Trappe, 1979). They have evolved a spore dispersal strategy that depends on animals. As a truffle matures its spores, it begins to emit an odor, a chemical signal to animals that a feast awaits (Trappe and Maser, 1977). Nearly all mammals seem attracted to ripe truffles and will eat them whenever they detect them (Maser et al., 1978). Humans are numbered among the animals that enjoy eating truffles, although only a few of the several hundred known species please the human palate. North America abounds in truffles, and new species are turning up regularly as new places are explored for them. The activities of the North American Truffling Society (Box 296, Corvallis, OR 97339-0296) have been particularly fruitful in this respect. The growth of interest in the quest for truffles has generated increasing demand for up-to-date keys to identify them. At the request of the editorial committee of McIlvainia, we developed keys to Ascomycete truffle genera on a world-wide basis. Keys to the truffle genera base solely on spore characteristics were published by Castellano et al. (1989) with the special intent of identifying fungi eaten by animals as represented by spores in stomach contents or feces.

FNN time has gone very quickly and I have enjoyed the experience immensely. I continue will be going to the printers on 13th to attend as many of the Club’s activities as I can fit into my timetable.

I would encourage anyone who might be able to contribute to the organisation and running of the group to contact Claire as soon as possible.
