Fungal species are not immune to the threats facing animals and plants thus also prone extinction. Yet, until 2015, fungi were nearly absent on IUCN Red List. Recent efforts identify fungal under threat have significantly increased number of published assessments. The 597 in 2022-1 List update (21 July 2022) basis for first global review extinction risk they face. Nearly 50% assessed threatened, with 10% NT 9% DD. For regions a larger assessments (i.e., Europe, North America, South America),...
Abstract Xylodon lanatus and closely related species were studied with molecular morphological means. This complex contains six species, two of which we describe as new. Species in the have minutely odontioid hymenophore projections that consist encrusted, firm-walled hyphae ellipsoid spores. We assign an epitype for X. , ITS 28S rDNA sequences obtained, amend concept pseudolanatus . The new both well supported our phylogenetic analyses, are afromontanus found Eastern Africa, mantiqueirensis...
This study presents a comprehensive phylogenetic analysis of the genus Meripilus and its allied genera Henningsia Physisporinus within Meripilaceae family, in broader context residual polyporoid clade. The three are morphologically similar characterized by resupinate to pileate basidiomes that harden often darken upon drying, monomitic hyphal structure, simple-septate generative hyphae, globose ovoid basidiospores, with variable presence cystidia. Species Meripilus, turn, present...
The family Steccherinaceae includes genera with smooth, hydnoid, and poroid hymenophores, monomitic to dimitic hyphal systems, generative hyphae clamps or simple septa. Steccherinum is the largest genus in family, a worldwide distribution, characterized mainly by system presence of thick-walled encrusted cystidia. Species traditionally included Steccherinum, however, have been transferred other based on results molecular phylogenetic analyses. Even though knowledge has increased past few...
Phellinotus (Polyporales) is a common genus of wood-decay fungi in tropical and subtropical areas, endemic to the Seasonally Dry Tropical Forest (SDTF) biome. However, diversity remains unexplored, despite being major threat living trees. Therefore, this study aimed at confirming characterizing through morphological molecular data first isolates teixeirae Pithecellobium dulce (Fabaceae) trees (locally referred as ‘Chiminango’) from endangered Colombian SDTF Fifteen fungal specimens were...
Abstract The taxonomy of Sistotremastrum (Trechisporales, Basidiomycota) is revised based on morphology and DNA data. genus shown to be polyphyletic, therefore it split into two units— s. str. Sertulicium , gen. nov. (typified with Corticium niveocremeum ). retained for eleven species which eight are described as new while encompasses at least six species, including one science. Both these genera only distantly related other representatives the Trechisporales. Additionally, a poroid...
ABSTRACT During a fungi survey in the brazilian Atlantic Forest São Paulo, Paulo State, Brazil, polypores growing on decaying wood were collected and fragments of basidiomata used to obtain isolates pure culture. A total 37 obtained 23 species identified. Cultural features Bjerkandera atroalba, Henningsia brasiliensis, Rigidoporus undatus, Steccherinum reniforme described for first time. 31 evaluated terms their ability oxidize Remazol brilliant blue R dye (RBBR) guaiacol. The results these...
Background and aims – Bjerkandera is one of the few poroid genera in Phanerochaetaceae family known to date. The genus has a worldwide distribution characterized by effused-reflexed, pileate basidiomata with pale cream smoky or mouse grey hymenophore that becomes darker when dried, monomitic hyphal structure clamped generative hyphae. Morphological phylogenetic studies have traditionally accepted only two species genus, B. adusta (generic type) fumosa, both described from temperate Europe....
ABSTRACT This survey presents the first species list of poroid fungi (Polyporales and related genera) from Parque Estadual da Serra do Mar, Núcleo Santa Virgínia, largest area Atlantic forest in Brazil. A total 68 species, 38 genera ten families were found studied area. Antrodiella luteocontexta, Ceriporiopsis flavilutea, Diplomitoporus navisporus, Flaviporus venustus, Grammothele fuligo, Oxyporus latemarginatus, Perenniporia cremeopora, Postia subcaesia tephroleuca are recorded for time to...
The genus Echinoporia is characterized by the presence of chlamydospores originating from hairs in pileus and margin, or dissepiment edges. Two species are found America, i.e., E. aculeifera inermis. In a study Neotropical polypores, several specimens were collected Atlantic rainforest, São Paulo state. inermis recorded for second time Brazil. first A distribution map Neotropics presented.
RESUMO O Estágio de Docência (ED) é entendido como um componente curricular promotor da inter-relação entre teoria e prática pedagógica, capaz aproximar o pós-graduando das atividades ensino. Nesse contexto, os objetivos desse estudo foram: 1) avaliar a percepção dos discentes sobre as contribuições do ED desenvolvido pelo Programa Pós-graduação em Biodiversidade Vegetal Meio Ambiente Instituto Botânica (PPGIBt) para exercício docência no ensino superior; 2) investigar docentes PPGIBt...
In this study, Pseudolagarobasidium pallens sp. nov. is proposed based on morphological and phylogenetic studies. Specimens were collected in Brazil used for DNA sequence analyses of the internal transcribed spacer large subunit nuclear ribosomal RNA gene. The basidiomes P. are characterized by a pale cream coloration when fresh, hydnoid hymenophore with long teeth thin whitish context. Microscopically, it differs from other related species larger basidiospores (4.6–)4.9–6.4(–6.8) × 3.2–4.5...
Phlebiodontia is proposed as a new genus in the Meruliaceae based on morphological and molecular data. The typified by rajchenbergii, species for Brazil, also includes P. acanthocystis (Hawaii) subochracea (Germany), which are combinations this study. of morphologically characterized yellowish ceraceous basidiomes, with slightly warted to hydnoid hymenophore, monomitic hyphal system, clamped generative hyphae, presence smooth thin-walled cystidia broadly ellipsoid allantoid basidiospores....
Macrofungi are classified in the phylum Ascomycota and Basidiomycota they very important from an ecological economic point of view. Most studies fungi Colombia have been carried out mainly Andean Region, especially Departments Antioquia, Valle del Cauca Cundinamarca. However, other like Tolima, located Cordillera Central, well documented for plants (4,797 species) animals (2,983 species), but poorly terms knowledge fungal diversity. This study provides a compiled annotated checklist all...
