O Herbario FLOR da Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina foi fundado em 1964 pelos professores Ranulpho Jose Souza Sobrinho e Roberto Miguel Klein. Seu acervo compreende exemplares plantas vasculares, fungos algas. o segundo maior do estado esta voltado especialmente para a flora Catarina.
Abstract Knowledge about the Brazilian fungal diversity was, until 2010, recorded in few taxonomy and ecology publications, as well a handful of species lists. With publication Catálogo de Plantas e Fungos do Brasil continued availability an online list, it has been possible to aggregate this dispersed knowledge. The version presented here adds 2,111 names 3,608 listed 2010. A total 5,719 fungi distributed 1,246 genera, 102 orders 13 phyla represents considerable increase over last five...
Abstract White‐sand forests are thought to host many ectomycorrhizal fungi, as demonstrated by the numerous fruiting body collections made Rolf Singer in lower Rio Negro late 1970s. Despite recognition of importance fungi white‐sand forests, there has not yet been a systematic examination diversity and taxonomic composition across or more widely lowland Amazonian forests. In an effort broaden our view fungal distribution on we collected bodies 10 plots Brazil French Guiana between 2012 2014....
The biogeography of neotropical fungi remains poorly understood. Here, we reconstruct the origins and diversification lineages in one largest clades ectomycorrhizal globally widespread family Russulaceae. We inferred a supertree 3285 operational taxonomic units, representing worldwide internal transcribed spacer sequences. reconstructed biogeographic history identified Neotropics adjacent Patagonia. Russulaceae have tropical African origin. oldest South America, most with sister groups, date...
Abstract Pterulaceae was formally proposed to group six coralloid and dimitic genera: Actiniceps (= Dimorphocystis) , Allantula Deflexula Parapterulicium Pterula, Pterulicium . Recent molecular studies have shown that some of the characters currently used in do not distinguish genera. been removed, a few other resupinate genera were added family. However, none these intended investigate relationship between In this study, we generated 278 sequences from both newly collected fungarium...
Seventeen out of the 24 taxa Phylloporus (Boletaceae) known from Neotropics are presented here. Complete descriptions, illustrations and a key to 17 species provided. alborufus is newly described, an unnamed also described Costa Rican oak forests. colligatus was recently Dicymbe forest in Guyana. A table New World taxa, their distribution possible hosts presented.
Fourteen species of Phallales known to occur in the tropical region Atlantic Forest Brazil are discussed. New records reported for country (Laternea dringii), Southeastern (Abrachium floriforme), Northeastern (Clathrus columnatus and Mutinus argentinus), states Paraíba (M. caninus Staheliomyces cinctus), Rio de Janeiro Espírito Santo (Phallus indusiatus). Descriptions illustrations new a key phalloid fungi from this presented.
The VIIIth Brazilian Mycological Congress, held in Florianópolis (Brazil) October 2016, was organized by the Universidade Federal de Santa Catarina and brought together more than 1000 scientists of 20 nationalities, which illustrates dynamism South American mycology, many fields. One major take-home messages, amongst research talks posters, rising interest ectomycorrhizal (EM) symbiosis, addressed both a symposium 3-day workshop ‘To roots trees: growing awareness symbioses Neotropics’. Talks...
The genus Parapterulicium was first introduced to accommodate two Brazilian species of coralloid fungi with affinities Pterulaceae (Agaricales). Despite the habit and presence skeletal hyphae, other features, notably gloeocystidia, dichophyses papillate hyphal ends, differentiate this from sensu stricto. Fieldwork in Brazil resulted rediscovery identifiable as , verified collections since Corner’s original work 1950s. Molecular phylogenetic analyses nrITS nrLSU sequences these modern...
The Atlantic Forest of Brazil harbors a great diversity boletoid fungi, many which remain to be documented and described. Two distinct taxa Tylopilus from Northeastern Forest, T. dunensis pygmaeus, are proposed as new based on evidence both morphological molecular data. We provide detailed macro- microscopic descriptions each species including scanning electron micrographs the basidiospores.
Fistulinella is a small genus of boletoid fungi in the subfamily Austroboletoideae order Boletales. In this paper, F. ruschii from Atlantic Forest proposed as new to science and campinaranae var. scrobiculata, known Brazilian Amazon forest, recorded for first time Forest. Macro- microscopic descriptions, molecular data (nuc rDNA ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 nuc 28S rDNA), photographs basidiomata, scanning electron microscopy images basidiospores are provided both species. Based on sampling six taxa, New...
Fourteen species in three genera of Clavariaceae from the Atlantic Forest Brazil are described (six Clavaria, seven Clavulinopsis and one Ramariopsis). Clavaria diverticulata, dimorphica imperata new species, gibbsiae, fumosa helvola reported for first time country. Illustrations basidiomata microstructures provided all taxa, as well SEM images ornamented basidiospores which occur Ramariopsis kunzei. A key to is also included.
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...
Agaricus brasiliensis S. Wasser et al. ("Cogumelo medicinal"), a culinary—medicinal mushroom native to Brazil, is cultivated mostly for exports. Strain characteristics influence productivity, but little known about ecological and genetic variation among commercial strains. We examined six strains of A. determine the colony growth variability. Two studies were conducted: (1) on ordinary laboratory media, malt extract agar, potato dextrose agar at several incubation temperatures (20 °, 25 28...
Ongoing surveys of macrofungi in the Brazilian Atlantic Forest ecoregion continue to uncover a diverse assemblage ectomycorrhizal fungi. A new species Boletaceae, Singerocomus atlanticus sp. nov., is described. rubriflavus, previously known only from Guyana, recorded for first time Forest. Phylogenetic data, macro- and microscopic illustrations, comments are presented each species.
Gloeocantharellus has an amphi-Pacific distribution, with five known neotropical species. corneri was the only species in genus recorded from Brazil. A new species, aculeatus, collected Atlantic Forest states of Espírito Santo and Santa Catarina Brazil, is described based on morphological molecular characteristics. It distinguished other by orange to salmon pileus slightly fibrillose margin, squamulose pulverulent stipe, aculeate basidiospores. The results analyses show that G. aculeatus a...
A taxonomic treatment of vinaceous and reddish species Tubaria (Agaricales) is presented based on morphology nucleotide sequences. Accessions from western North America, Europe, Central the Caribbean Australia are compared. Phylogenetic analysis 25S rRNA gene internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions demonstrates that not monophyletic. However autonomy six brown-spored, saprotrophic species—Naucoria vinicolor, Pholiota serrulata, Phaeomarasmius confragosus, punicea, rufofulva T. bispora sp....
Agaricus is a monophyletic genus with worldwide distribution and more than 400 described species. The grows on soil can be easily recognized by the presence of an annulus stipe free lamellae which become dark brown spore maturation. Although in field because its macroscopic characters, identification at species level difficult. Based specimens collected states Paraná Santa Catarina, south Brazil, we propose new globocystidiatus. taxon distinguished mainly pleurocystidia, rare morphological...
