Flavoscypha, a New Genus of the Pezizales for Otidea Cantharella and 0 Flavoscypha, a new genus of the Pezizales for Otidea cantharella and 0. phlebophora Harri Harmaja D epartment of Botany, University of Helsinki, SF-00170 Helsinki, Finland HARMAJA, H. 1974: Flavoscypha, a new genus of the Pezizales for Otidea cantharella and 0. phlebophora. - Karstenia 14: 105- 108. The two species Otidea cantharella (Fr.) Sacc. and 0 . phlebophora (Berk. & Br.) Sacc. are shown t o possess in common some characters which differentiate them from the other pecies of Otidea, including the type of the genus·, 0. onotica (Fr. ) Fuck. The most impor­ tant differences relate to the ectal excipulum, which in the two species is composed of only one layer, viz. textura prismatic a wiuh rather small cells and clavate end cells (corresponding exactly to the H elvella type of excipulum), and which possesses no cyanophilic intercellular matter. These species also display a bright yellow colour, especially externally, in their fresh apothecia, the basal parts of which are ribbed, either having branching and anastomosing ribs and pits or are less conspicuously rugose-venose and pitted, f.eatures which are also lac­ king in the rest of Otidea. The two species may possibly also differ by the general features of their ecology and distribution from the bulk of Otidea. The differences observed ape consi­ dered so significant that the new genus Flavoscypha Harmaja is established for the two spe­ cies, Peziza phlebophora Berk. & Br. being designated as the type. The specific differences of the two closely related Flavoscypha species are also described. Both species have recently ~ach been collected once in SW Finland, and are here reported as new to this country. Two new oombinations are made: Flavoscypha cantharella (Fr.) Harmaja and Flavoscypha phlebophora (Berk. & Br.) Harmaja. In the course of my studies in Otidea king described in HARMAJA 1974b), and con­ ( Pers.) Bon.

  • Two New Genus Records for Turkish Mycota
    MYCOTAXON Volume 111, pp. 477–480 January–March 2010 Two new genus records for Turkish mycota Yusuf Uzun1, Kenan Demirel1, Abdullah Kaya2* & Fahrettin Gücin3 *[email protected] 1Yüzüncü Yıl University, Science & Arts Faculty TR 65080, Van Turkey 2Adıyaman University, Education Faculty TR 02040, Adıyaman Turkey 3Fatih University Science & Arts Faculty TR 34500, Istanbul Turkey Abstract — The genera Geopyxis (Pyronemataceae) and Asterophora (Lyophyllaceae) are recorded from Turkey for the first time, based on collections of Geopyxis carbonaria and Asterophora lycoperdoides. Short descriptions and photographs of the taxa are provided. Key words —Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, biodiversity, macrofungi Introduction Geopyxis carbonaria (Pyronemataceae) is an abundant post-fire discomycete in coniferous forests. This fleshy mushroom has a complex life cycle and is mycorrhizal on deep roots of members of the Pinaceae, and fruits only when the trees die (Vrålstad et al. 1998). Since it often fruits prolifically after wildfires, it has also been considered to be a possible indicator of imminent morel fruiting (Obst & Brown 2000). Asterophora lycoperdoides (Lyophyllaceae) is a relatively rare basidiomycete that parasitizes other mushrooms in the family Russulaceae, especially Russula nigricans and Russula densifolia. It usually fruits after the host has blackened and begun to decay (Kuo 2006). The fungus generally reproduces asexually by brown powdery chlamydospores formed on the cap surface; its gills, which are often absent or deformed, produce sexual basidiospores only infrequently (Roody 2003). According to checklists (Sesli & Denchev 2009) and recently published data (Solak et al. 2009, Kaya 2009), neither of the above taxa have previously been recorded from Turkey. The study aims to contribute to the macromycota of Turkey.

  • Membership Just Got a Whole Lot Better. the Website Redesign Is
    VOLUME 55: 3 MAY-JUNE 2015 www.namyco.org Membership just got a whole lot better. The website redesign is finally here! As you’ve heard, we contracted with Vieth Consulting this year to makeover the website, install a member management system, and add new member-friendly benefits. In the Members Area behind this basic platform are many new features including forums, calendars, surveys, and ways to communicate news. We designed the NAMA website for you, our members. The member management package includes many perks and more ways to connect to the larger mycological community. For example, instead of Mycophile Editor Dianna Smith laboring over the “send” button for hours, you'll see the newest issue of the newsletter as soon as it’s posted through a web email blast. If you’re curious about the most recent books and field guides to add to your mycological library, you’ll find a section with more than a dozen of the latest book reviews. We’ll be able to let you know about more national and local mycological events through a calendar feature. We will periodically add new stories about our affiliated clubs. We have updated the popular section on mushroom toxins and created a new report form for the Poison Case Registry. Log in to register for the NAMA 2015 Blue Ridge Foray! Our signature annual event, this year hosted by the Asheville Mushroom Club and the Mushroom Club of Georgia, features Alan Bessette as chief mycologist, along with a team of cutting edge scientists and field mycologists. This will be the first year that NAMA has run online registration on our own website (See pages 3-7).

Olariaga1, N. Van Vooren2, M. Carbone3, K. Hansen1 Key words Abstract The easily recognised genus Otidea is subjected to numerous problems in species identification. A number of old names have undergone various interpretations, materials from different continents have not been compared and Flavoscypha misidentifications occur commonly. In this context, Otidea is monographed, based on our multiple gene phylogenies ITS assessing species boundaries and comparative morphological characters (see Hansen & Olariaga 2015). All names ITS1 minisatellites combined in or synonymised with Otidea are dealt with. Thirty-three species are treated, with full descriptions and LSU colour illustrations provided for 25 of these. Five new species are described, viz. O. borealis, O. brunneo parva, O. ore- Otideopsis gonensis, O. pseudoleporina and O. subformicarum. Otidea cantharella var. minor and O. onotica var. brevispora resinous exudates are elevated to species rank. Otideopsis kaushalii is combined in the genus Otidea. A key to the species of Otidea is given. An LSU dataset containing 167 sequences (with 44 newly generated in this study) is analysed to place collections and determine whether the named Otidea sequences in GenBank were identified correctly. Fourty-nine new ITS sequences were generated in this study. The ITS region is too variable to align across Otidea, but had low intraspecific variation and it aided in species identifications. Thirty type collections were studied, and ITS and LSU sequences are provided for 12 of these. A neotype is designated for O.

As the only family to include mycorrhizal taxa within class Eurotiomycetes, Elaphomycetaceae Summary represents one of the few independent origins of the mycorrhizal symbiosis in Ascomycota (Tedersoo et al., Many obligate symbiotic fungi are difficult to maintain 2010). Other ectomycorrhizal Ascomycota include several in culture, and there is a growing need for alternative genera within Pezizomycetes (e.g. Tuber, Otidea, etc.) approaches to obtaining tissue and subsequent and Cenococcum in Dothideomycetes (Tedersoo et al., genomic assemblies from such species.

To assess the monophyly of Pyronemataceae and provide a phylogenetic Available online 9 February 2013 hypothesis of the group, we compiled a four-gene dataset including one nuclear ribosomal and three pro- tein-coding genes for 132 distinct Pezizomycetes species (4437 nucleotides with all markers available for Keywords: 80% of the total 142 included taxa). This is the most comprehensive molecular phylogeny of Pyronemata- Ancestral state reconstruction ceae, and Pezizomycetes, to date. Three hundred ninety-four new sequences were generated during this Plotting SIMMAP results Introns project, with the following numbers for each gene: RPB1 (124), RPB2 (99), EF-1a (120) and LSU rDNA Carotenoids (51). The dataset includes 93 unique species from 40 genera of Pyronemataceae, and 34 species from 25 Ectomycorrhizae genera representing an additional 12 families of the class.
