Novel species of fungi described in this study include those from various countries as follows: Australia: Apiognomonia lasiopetali on Lasiopetalum sp., Blastacervulus eucalyptorum Eucalyptus adesmophloia, Bullanockia australis (incl. gen. nov.) Kingia australis, Caliciopsis eucalypti marginata, Celerioriella petrophiles Petrophile teretifolia, Coleophoma xanthosiae Xanthosia rotundifolia, Coniothyrium hakeae Hakea Diatrypella banksiae Banksia formosa, Disculoides corymbiae Corymbia...
This study explores the potential use of frass, larval excrement residue obtained from mealworm rearing, as organic fertilizer for crops. Its high matter content means that its joint application with a biostimulant based on efficient microorganisms, favoring mineralization, is interest. An experiment lettuce plants (Lactuca sativa L.) was conducted two factors and six replicates under greenhouse conditions. The first factor frass amendment at 0%, 1%, 2.5%, 5% peat substrate, second...
For efficient use of conservation resources it is important to determine how species diversity changes across spatial scales. In many poorly known groups little about at which scales the efforts should be focused. Here we examined community turnover wood-inhabiting fungi realised three hierarchical levels, and much variation explained by in resource composition proximity. The study design consisted management type (fixed factor), forest site (random factor, nested within type) plots...
Research on mutualistic and antagonistic networks, such as plant–pollinator host–parasite has shown that species interactions can influence be influenced by the responses of to environmental perturbations. Here we examine whether results obtained for directly observable networks generalize more complex in which cannot observed directly. As a case study, consider data occurrences 98 wood‐inhabiting fungal managed natural forests. We specifically ask if how much positions within interaction...
Pine root infection by Fusarium circinatum has been reported in the literature, but underlying pathogenic interaction is poorly understood. A green fluorescent protein ( GFP )‐tagged F. isolate, together with confocal microscopy, was used order to monitor events associated of Pinus radiata seedlings. It found that reach and successfully infect pine roots, employed features are similar those previously described for other root‐infecting pathogens, such as mycelial strands, single runner...
Species of Cantharellus contain carotenoid pigments, which produce yellow, orange and red colours. As microscopic characters are limited value to separate species, colour has always been an important taxonomic character for species delimitation in Cantharellus. Entirely white or specimens lacking yellow pigments occasionally reported from Europe, but it is unclear whether these represent independent simply unusual variants otherwise species. The main objective this study assess the identity...
Two new species of Hydnum, characterized by slender Hydnum rufescens-like basidiomes and ovoid to broadly ellipsoid basidiospores, are described from the Iberian Peninsula based on morphological ITS molecular data. ovoideisporum is distinguished pilei with deep orange tones strong preference for calcareous soil. It widespread in Iberian-Mediterranean area. vesterholtii its ocher light pileus, nearly all collections were made Pyrenees. Both ovoid-spored monophyletic well supported groups...
Studies on lignicolous fungal communities in southern Europe are scarce and most of them focused coarse woody debris (CWD). Fine (FWD) very fine (VFWD) rarely studied. For this study, all 90 beechwood plots (in Navarre, Northern Spain) was checked to search for macromycetes. Although species were found CWD, small sized being especially diverse Ascomycota species, big Basidiomycota ones. The CAP analysis revealed that from different diameter classes dissimilar composition changed gradually,...
The capability of several fungal species, collected in the field association with species genus Pinus, to form ectomycorrhizae Pinus radiata have been determinated vitro and containers. Hebeloma longicaudum, Russula sanguinea, Tricholoma albobruneum, Tuber borchii Xerocomus badius formed by pure culture synthesis. These other three, Boletus pinophilus, Gautieria othii Scleroderma polyrhizum, open containers methods vegetative mycelial inoculation spore inoculation. eight symbioses not...
The revision of several families clavarioid fungi in the Iberian Peninsula necessitated new combinations and names to be used for fungal flora. Eight are proposed Clavulina , Ramariopsis Typhula nomenclatural taxonomic comments provided each case. Lectotypes designated Clavaria contorta fistulosa (type species Macrotyphula ), phacorrhiza ). genus is reduced synonymy under .
Abstract Pinus radiata is a highly valued conifer because of its timber production and value as reforestation plant. To increase production, nurseries currently use nutritional method based on mineral fertilizers high in macronutrients. This produces individual trees which are unbalanced size more likely to suffer infections from phytopathogenic fungi. In this paper, the effect plant soil applying an aerated compost tea (ACT) compared conventional fertilizer. Biometric measures pines, their...
AbstractThis study explores species limits of a group Clavaria with taxonomic and nomenclatural problems discusses the phylogeny circumscription genus. The nuc 28S rDNA (28S) internal transcribed spacer region phylogenies resolve relationships, ITS is shown to be an adequate barcode marker for Clavaria. Yellow, clamped are distributed in two clades, (i) C. flavostellifera, sister incarnata asterospora analyses, characterized by producing ornamented spores, (ii) argillacea-C. citrinorubra-C....
Abstract Background and aims Ecological restoration strategies are emerging globally to counteract biodiversity loss ecosystem degradation. However, restored ecosystems may not reach undisturbed functionality. One reason of this limited success be a focus on short-term recovery diversity, composition, or isolated functions. These simplified metrics underestimate the real time need recover. Thus, studies more complex metrics, like biotic interactions, at larger timescales, essential...
