Abstract Fungi are among the most diverse and ecologically important kingdoms in life. However, distributional ranges of fungi remain largely unknown as do ecological mechanisms that shape their distributions 1,2 . To provide an integrated view spatial seasonal dynamics fungi, we implemented a globally distributed standardized aerial sampling fungal spores 3 The vast majority operational taxonomic units were detected within only one climatic zone, spatiotemporal patterns species richness...
Novel methods for sampling and characterizing biodiversity hold great promise re-evaluating patterns of life across the planet. The airborne spores with a cyclone sampler, sequencing their DNA, have been suggested as an efficient well-calibrated tool surveying fungal diversity various environments. Here we present data originating from Global Spore Sampling Project, comprising 2,768 samples collected during two years at 47 outdoor locations world. Each sample represents DNA extracted 24 m
Abstract Root‐colonizing fungi form species‐rich assemblages with key functions in principal ecosystem processes, making them prospectively important players conservation and applied ecology. Harnessing the processes services they drive requires a better understanding of their patterns diversity community structure, how these link to function. Here, we search for possible adaptations contrasting environmental host conditions, indicative participation habitat‐specific processes. We surveyed...
Abstract We report on a structural complexity enhancement (SCE) experiment that was designed to test ecological restoration measures in the Black Forest National Park, Germany. The main goal understand as whether creation of standing and downed deadwood within previously managed, single‐layered Norway spruce ( Picea abies L.) forests accelerates development forest structure, richness, diversity range taxonomic groups. Here we introduce experimental design describe stand structure including...
Basidiomycota are natural sources of aroma compounds. When grown in submerged cultures, the fungus Laetiporus montanus (LMO) forms a spicy and meat-like aroma. It thus represents an interesting candidate for production savory flavors. To identify key compounds LMO malt extract peptone medium, volatiles were isolated by means automated solvent assisted flavor evaporation (aSAFE). An dilution analysis was performed gas chromatography-olfactometry coupled with flame ionization detector...
Although taxonomic knowledge on Tricholoma (Agaricales, Basidiomycota) is fairly comprehensive in northwest Europe, of the global diversity and distribution spp. still sparse. In this study, some are analyzed by morphological molecular methods based 70 collections from Yunnan, China, 45 central 32 Colorado, USA, 9 Japan, 3 Ukraine. A Holarctic suggested for several species, nuc rDNA internal transcribed spacer ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 (ITS) sequences. Six species new to science formally described...
The fungal genus Strobilurus belongs to Physalacriaceae and contains approximately 11 species worldwide. Species of this grow reproduce on cones various conifers, seed pods or fruits Magnolia Liquidambar, branches wood conifers. Previous studies focused mainly samples from Europe North America. And no genus-specific phylogenetic analysis has been carried out date. monophyly, degree diversity substrate specificity, overall distribution patterns are addressed here using morphological molecular...
Abstract The aroma compounds of fruiting bodies C . odorifer were extracted by means liquid/liquid extraction and purified solvent assisted flavour evaporation (SAFE). odour active identified gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry olfactometry on two columns different polarity described sensory detection. volatilom is reported here for the first time. Additionally, an extract dilution analysis (AEDA) was performed to identify main compounds. Finally, volatiles quantified GC flame ionization...
We describe a new species, Diacheopsis resinae (Myxomycetes), collected from microhabitat for myxomycetes: stem wounds of coniferous trees (Norway spruce) where the resin is overgrown with community resinicolous fungi. The 80 known collections come Vosges (France), Black Forest (Germany), Swabian Alp and several localities in Denmark Norway. Observations, but as well metabarcoding substrate samples fungal (ITS [internal transcribed spacer]), bacterial (16S rDNA), myxomycete (18S nuc rDNA)...
Submerged cultures of the basidiomycota Cystostereum murrayi emit an intensive coconut-like, sweetish, and buttery smell. For identification key aroma compounds, dilution analysis using dynamic headspace was performed by adjusting split ratio GC inlet system. Flavor (FD) factors varied from 22 up to ≥218, whereby largest class compounds represented terpenoids, including two rare stereoisomers 3,6-dimethyl-2,3,3a,4,5,7a-hexahydrobenzofuran (dill ether, ee ≥ 99.9). By means nuclear magnetic...
Weckesser, M. & Popa, F. 2022. Micarea pycnidiophora (Pilocarpaceae) in the Black Forest National Park – a new lichen record from Baden-Württemberg. Herzogia 35: 163 –173. During surveys of monitoring plots (Baden-Württemberg, Southwest Germany) 2017 to 2019, was recorded several times. This has not been known previously Baden-Württemberg and is also very rare throughout Germany. Most localities lie northern part national park montane belt. The area characterised by high precipitation...
