Nomenclatural type definitions are one of the most important concepts in biological nomenclature. Being physical objects that can be re-studied by other researchers, types permanently link taxonomy (an artificial agreement to classify diversity) with nomenclature name diversity). Two proposals amend International Code Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICN), allowing DNA sequences alone (of any region extent) serve as taxon names voucherless fungi (mainly putative taxa from...
Russula albonigra is considered a well-known species, morphologically delimited by the context of basidiomata blackening without intermediate reddening, and menthol-cooling taste lamellae. It supposed to have broad ecological range large distribution area. A thorough molecular analysis based on four nuclear markers (ITS, LSU, RPB2 TEF1-α) shows this traditional concept R. s. lat. represents species complex consisting at least five European, three North American, one Chinese species....
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’.

Abstract The ectomycorrhizal genus Lactifluus is known to contain many species complexes, consisting of morphologically very similar species, which can be considered cryptic or pseudocryptic. In this paper, a thorough molecular study performed the clade around deceptivus (originally described by Peck from North America) deceptive milkcaps. Even though most collections were identified as L. , shown at least 15 distributed across Asia and America, indicating that represents complex. These are...
High value commodities such as spices suffer from occasional contaminations of both chemical and biological origin. Consequently, quality control safety monitoring has become a pressing issue for the spice industry. Two recent independent studies showed that at least one third analyzed cumin green anise seeds samples surpassed by European Union recently established threshold toxic pyrrolizidine alkaloids (PAs) their corresponding N-oxides (PANOs). These heterocyclic secondary plant...

DNA collections are a valuable type of Natural Science collection, enabling the validation past research, serving as source for new genomic studies and supporting ex situ conservation. The DiSSCo Flanders collection working group, aiming to advance "unlock" their collections, identified need for: 1) actively sharing best practices regarding management collections; 2) providing guidance on how bring theory into practice. By combining practice examples from within group with available...
Fungi are a large and hyper-diverse group with major taxa present in every ecosystem on earth. However, compared to other eukaryotic organisms, their diversity is largely understudied. Since the rise of molecular techniques, new lineages being discovered at an increasing rate, but many not accurately characterised. Access comprehensive reliable taxonomic information organisms fundamental for research different disciplines exploring variety questions. A globally dominant ectomycorrhizal (ECM)...
During field work in the Noun division of western Cameroon during 2011, 2012, and 2014, several collections an unknown Lactifluus species were discovered a gallery forest with Uapaca guineensis.Molecular morphological research shows that these represent new species, persicinus, which is described this paper.Lactifluus persicinus belongs to Lf. sect.Xerampelini subg.Pseudogymnocarpi.Key words-Russulaceae,
Lactifluus (Russulaceae) is a genus of ectomycorrhizal fungi, comprising mostly tropical milkcaps with more than 150 described species. In Brazil 24 milkcap species are known, but only three these from the north-eastern region. The north east composed different types habitats, namely Atlantic Forest, part Cerrado ecoregions and Caatinga Domain. From semiarid Domain, Lf. caatingae in this paper as new species, using morphological molecular data. characterised by rusty brown to brownish orange...
Lactifluusrussulisporus Dierickx & De Crop and Lactifluuscaliendrifer Froyen are described from eucalypt forests in Queensland, Australia different forest types Thailand, respectively. Both species have recently been published on Index Fungorum fit morphologically molecularly L.sect.Luteoli, a section within L.subg.Gymnocarpi that encompasses with alboochraceous basidiomes, white latex stains brown typical capitate elements the pileipellis and/or marginal cells.
Species of the ectomycorrhizal genus Lactifluus, and often entire sections, are typically unique to a single continent. Given these biogeographic patterns, an interesting region study their diversity is Central America Caribbean, since closely connected considered part North American continent, but biogeographically belong Neotropical realm, comprises several regions with different geologic histories. Based on multi-gene phylogeny morphological study, this shows that America, Mexico...
Lactifluus is a monophyletic genus of ectomycorrhizal fungi with about 200 described species classified in four subgenera: L. subg. Gymnocarpus, Lactariopsis, Lactifluus, and Pseudogymnocarpus. Currently Lactariopsis considered approximately 57 sections: Albati, Edules, Russulopsidei. There are few from the Neotropical region, however local mycologists commonly collect specimens this subgenus during their mycological surveys. The goals present study to evaluate phylogenetic morphological...
The DiSSCo (Distributed System of Scientific Collections) Flanders consortium, with one the set goals being "maturing" (i.e., optimizing management of) and unlocking publishing) their DNA collections, identified 1) need for actively sharing best practices on collections; 2) a guidance how to bring theory into practice. During project, collection working group was created. is open all biodiversity-related collections associates in Belgium, including those diverse roles such as researchers,...
The European Ocean Biodiversity Information System (EurOBIS) was established in 2004, as part of the Marine and Ecosystem Functioning Union Network Excellence (MarBEF) project. One key project tasks to integrate different resources on marine biodiversity. This gave birth EurOBIS, a data system capture, present distribution species from individual datasets. Integration consolidation aimed provide better understanding long-term, large-scale patterns waters. first biogeographic went live August...
The Neotropics have recently emerged as an important region for studies of tropical ectomycorrhizal (ECM) fungi. Specific neotropical areas with high ECM host tree densities fungal diversities rivaling those higher-latitude forests. Some forests the Guiana Shield are dominated by endemic trees Fabaceae, including species Dicymbe (subfam. Detarioideae), Aldina Papilionoideae), and Pakaraimaea (Cistaceae). One most species-rich families present in each these systems is Russulaceae. Long-term...
