During nocturnal field expeditions in the Brazilian Atlantic Rainforest, an unexpected bioluminescent fungus with reduced form was found. Based on morphological data, taxon first identified as belonging to cyphelloid genus Maireina, but our phylogenetic analyses, Maireina recovered and confirmed a paraphyletic group related genera Merismodes Cyphellopsis. filipendula, Ma. monacha, subsphaerospora are herein transferred Merismodes. upon molecular characters, is described new Eoscyphella,...
, commonly known as cat's tongue mushrooms, is a monophyletic assemblage within Auriculariales, which encompasses species with gelatinous basidiomata, spathulate, flabellate, or shell-shaped pileus, hydnoid hymenophore, globose to ellipsoidal basidiospores, and longitudinally cruciate-septate basidia. According the available literature, 16 have been described in
Abstract Many species of mushroom-forming fungi have been harvested in the wild and used for food medicine thousands years. In Brazil, knowledge diversity edible mushrooms remains scattered poorly studied. Based on new samples, bibliographic records revision, searches through GenBank, we recorded 409 which 350 can be safely consumed 59 are but with conditions. Additionally, other 150 represent taxa unclear evidence consumption or unconfirmed edibility status. A total 86 represents consistent...
Mycena margarita, a widespread agaric in the Caribbean region and recently recognized as frequently bioluminescent, is reported for first time Brazil, occurring on decaying wood Araripe National Forest, municipality of Crato, Ceará state. This species fully described illustrated accompanied by color photographs fresh basidiomata. Comments taxonomy ecology are presented.
A new Macrolepiota species from Brazil, M. capelariae, is proposed here based on morphological and molecular evidence. The description illustrations are specimens collected in a remnant of the Atlantic Rainforest São Paulo, Southeast Brazil. Analyses nrITS sequences supported recognition this species, combination with evidence, revealed its phylogenetic placement sect. Macrolepiota. capelariae characterized by medium to large very tall basidiomata, light brown pale greyish brown, brownish...
