While examining the materials of fleshy fungi surveys in the Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug-Yugra (Northwestern Siberia, Russia), we studied two collections of Hohenbuehelia (Pleurotaceae, Agaricales) with a combination of morphological features, including distinctly heavily encrusted cystidia, that made it impossible to reliably assign these specim...

With the simultaneous growth in interest from the mycological community to discover fungal species and classify them, there is also an important need to assemble all taxonomic information onto common platforms. Fungal classification is facing a rapidly evolving landscape and organizing genera into an appropriate taxonomic hierarchy is central to be...

The paper continues a series of publications devoted to the new finds of macrofungi (ascomycetes, basidiomycetes) in regions of the Russian Far East. A total of 53 species of macromycetes are reported for the first time from 6 administrative units of the Russian Far East: Amur Oblast, Jewish Autonomous Oblast, Magadan Oblast, Khabarovsk Krai, Primo...

Protocol for uploading sequences and their metadata into the Specify 7 database and subsequent export of data to GenBank and GBIF. The first stage of preparing sequences involves their initial processing (trimming ends, assembling), saving the edited sequence, and adding comments to the laboratory journal. The second stage involves the actual uploa...

The paper represents the first DNA-based occurrence dataset on peatland fungal communities published for north-western Siberia, the first for Russia and complements several existing datasets on metabarcoding of peat soils globally. The aim of the present publication is to describe the first DNA-based occurrence dataset on fungal communities in peat...

Peatland ecosystems are defined by soils with sufficient under-decomposed organic layer, called peat, formed under anoxic conditions. Peatlands are widespread around the world, with several highly paludified regions, one of which is the Western Siberian Plain. Peatlands store large amounts of carbon and are important in their intact state to counte...

An investigation of the genus Scleroderma from the Russian Far East was conducted using molecular genetics and morphological methods. A new species, Scleroderma furfuraceum, close to S. citrinum in morphology and ITS nrDNA, is described. The new taxon is also found in Japan, according to a sequence from ectomycorrhizal root tips in GenBank. Another...

It is natural to assume that patterns of genetic variation in hyperpolymorphic species can reveal large-scale properties of the fitness landscape that are hard to detect by studying species with ordinary levels of genetic variation. Here, we study such patterns in a fungus Schizophyllum commune , the most polymorphic species known. Throughout the g...

The paper presents the first analysis of crowdsourcing data of all observations of fungi (including lichens) and myxomycetes in Northwestern Siberia uploaded to iNaturalist.org to date (24.02.2022). The Introduction presents an analysis of fungal diversity crowdsourcing globally, in Russia, and in the region of interest. Materials and methods descr...

Specimens belonging to the Suillus paluster complex from North Asia and North America were analyzed. A molecular phylogeny of the ITS and TEF1α sites indicates that two species from the S. paluster complex have a part of their range in North Asia. Most of the analyzed Asian specimens previously identified as S. paluster should be attributed to the...

In order to identify alien plant species on the territory of the Yuganskiy Nature Reserve (Western Siberia), cordons, stations and the adjacent territory were examined where in total 44 species from 40 genera, 18 families, 14 orders, 2 classes were identified. 26 species are new for the Yuganskiy Nature Reserve.

Background: Mycological research in the Northern part of West Siberia has now become sufficient for review and digitisation as over 460 scientific works have been completed mainly since the beginning of the 20th century. The history of research in the region started from isolated studies at the beginning of the 20th century, but regular and system...

The basidiomycete Schizophyllum commune has the highest level of genetic polymorphism known among living organisms. In a previous study, it was also found to have a moderately high per generation mutation rate of 2x10-8, likely contributing to its high polymorphism. However, this rate has been measured only in an experiment on Petri dishes, and it...

The number of mutations that occur per nucleotide per generation varies between species by several orders of magnitude. In multicellular eukaryotes, the per generation mutation rate depends both on the per cell division mutation rate and on the number of germline cell divisions per generation. In a range of species, from fungi to humans, the number...

Регулярные микологические исследования на территории Ханты-Мансийского автономного округа-Югры начались во второй половине 20-го века. В настоящее время известно около 100 публикаций, посвященных вопросам изучения микобиоты, экологии, таксономии, лесо- и фитопатологии и охране грибов на территории региона. В публикации проведен обзор всех работ, оп...

В предыдущей части работы мы затронули вопросы актуальности развития микологических исследований на территории севера Западной Сибири (конкретно – ХМАО) и необходимость проведения ревизии уже выполненных за 100 лет работ.

Fungi are an extremely diverse group of organisms with an expected number of species exceeding 1.5 million. Mycology is a rather young and rapidly growing biological discipline, and fungi to date remain virtually unrepresented in natural history museums. Methods of working with this group of organisms in museums to represent their diversity and his...

В период с 2005 по 2014 год обследована территория левобережной части бассейна Большого Югана в среднем течении на предмет местообитаний Sarcosoma globosum . Обнаружено 29 популяций. Установлено, что этот вид в средней тайге Западной Сибири растет как в дренированных так и в переувлажнённых коренных темнохвойных и производных мелколиственных с темн...

High morphological similarity of Rhodocybe ulmi, Rh. xylophila and Omphalina discorosea specimens was shown. The conspecificity of this species and its systematic position in genus Arrhenia are confirmed by phylogenetic studies of nITS and 28S LSU datasets. A new combination, Arrhenia discorosea, is proposed. Descriptions are supplemented by line d...

Ascocoryne turficola is described as a species with rare findings in Europe, the Far East and North America (Newfoundland). Its habitat is connected with peatland ecosystems, where it occupies a poorly understood ecological niche. The West Siberian plain is a region where these ecosystems in their pristine state cover much of the area, particularly...
