Abstract and Figures

Mycena viscidocruenta is presently known only from the Antipodes. Collections from far eastern Russia were shown to be closely related both by morphology and by sequence homology. Phylogenetic analyses based on ribosomal LSU and ITS sequences show that the M. viscidocruenta clade is sister to Panellus stypticus and Panellus (Dictyopanus) pusillus, two laterally stipitate taxa, in the panelloid clade. Resinomycena rhododendri, the type species of Resinomycena is basal to this group. A new genus, Cruentomycena, is proposed to accommodate C. viscidocruenta (typus generis) and a new species, C. kedrovayae. Introduction Mycena viscidocruenta is a small (cap 7–11 mm), bright red agaric with a very slimy stem and cap. Fruiting on leaves and small woody debris, it has been reported from the southeastern Australian mainland and Tasmania (Grgurinovic 2002; Fungimap, Australia: http://fungimap.rbg.vic.gov.au), and from the North and South Islands of New Zealand (McKenzie et al. 2000, on Nothofagus debris; Segedin & Pennycook 2001; E. Horak, pers. com.). An LSU rDNA sequence of Tasmanian material was used by Moncalvo et al. (2002), who showed that collection to belong to the panelloid clade (denoted as /panelloid). That paper further noted that a relationship among Resinomycena rhododendri (typus generis), Mycena viscidocruenta, Panellus (pleurotoid, lamellate) and Dictyopanus (pleurotoid, poroid) had not previously been reported (Singer 1986), but did not discuss morphological circumscription of M. viscidocruenta or the proposed merger of Dictyopanus and Panellus (Burdsall & Miller 1975).

... Cruentomycena (Basidiomycota, Agaricales, Mycenaceae) is a genus of agaricoid fungi with only three species (Index fungorum; http://www.indexfungorum.org). The genus Cruentomycena is characterized by mycenoid to marasmielloid basidiomata, bloody red colored, viscid pileus, colorless cheilocystidia, absence of pleurocystidia and elongated amyloid basidiospores (Petersen et al., 2008). ...
... The key features of this genus are bloody red basidiocarps and absence of pleurocystidia. Petersen et al. (2008) reported that almost all basidiomata of C. kedrovaya were collected on catkins of Alnus in Russia. Korean sample of this species were also collected on the litter layer of Quercus spp. ...

Bluish Mycena are rare, but constitute a taxonomically complex group. A total of eight bluish species in four sections have previously been reported from North America, Europe, Oceania and Asia. Two species with a blue pileus, collected in China during our taxonomic study of Mycena s.l., are described here as new to science: Mycena caeruleogrisea sp. nov. and M. caeruleomarginata sp. nov. Detailed descriptions, line drawings and a morphological comparison with closely-related species, especially herbarium specimens of M. subcaerulea from the USA, are provided. The results of Bayesian Inference and Maximum Likelihood phylogenetic analyses of a dataset of 96 nuclear rDNA ITS and 20 nLSU sequences of 43 Mycena species are also presented. The morphological data and the results of the phylogenetic analyses support the introduction of M. caeruleogrisea and M. caeruleomarginata as new species. A taxonomic key to bluish Mycena species of sections Amictae , Cyanocephalae , Sacchariferae and Viscipelles is provided.

Thirteen new species are formally described: Cortinarius brunneocarpus from Pakistan, C. lilacinoarmillatus from India, Curvularia khuzestanica on Atriplex lentiformis from Iran, Gloeocantharellus neoechinosporus from China, Laboulbenia bernaliana on species of Apenes, Apristus, and Philophuga (Coleoptera, Carabidae) from Nicaragua and Panama, L. oioveliicola on Oiovelia machadoi (Hemiptera, Veliidae) from Brazil, L. termiticola on Macrotermes subhyalinus (Blattodea, Termitidae) from the DR Congo, Pluteus cutefractus from Slovenia, Rhizoglomus variabile from Peru, Russula phloginea from China, Stagonosporopsis flacciduvarum on Vitis vinifera from Italy, Strobilomyces huangshanensis from China, Uromyces klotzschianus on Rumex dentatus subsp. klotzschianus from Pakistan. The following new records are reported: Alternaria calendulae on Calendula officinalis from India; A. tenuissima on apple and quince fruits from Iran; Candelariella oleaginescens from Turkey; Didymella americana and D. calidophila on Vitis vinifera from Italy; Lasiodiplodia theobromae causing tip blight of Dianella tasmanica ‘variegata’ from India; Marasmiellus subpruinosus from Madeira, Portugal, new for Macaronesia and Africa; Mycena albidolilacea, M. tenuispinosa, and M. xantholeuca from Russia; Neonectria neomacrospora on Madhuca longifolia from India; Nothophoma quercina on Vitis vinifera from Italy; Plagiosphaera immersa on Urtica dioica from Austria; Rinodina sicula from Turkey; Sphaerosporium lignatile from Wisconsin, USA; and Verrucaria murina from Turkey. Multi-locus analysis of ITS, LSU, rpb1, tef1 sequences revealed that P. immersa, commonly classified within Gnomoniaceae (Diaporthales) or as Sordariomycetes incertae sedis, belongs to Magnaporthaceae (Magnaporthales). Analysis of a six-locus Ascomycota-wide dataset including SSU and LSU sequences of S. lignatile revealed that this species, currently in Ascomycota incertae sedis, belongs to Pyronemataceae (Pezizomycetes, Pezizales).
... Indeed, none of the top 30 hits in a BLAST search recovered Roridomyces, whose ITS sequences include several unique insertions and deletions up to nine nucleotides in length that are absent in M. guzmanii and all other taxa recovered in the BLAST search. Pairwise comparisons of 30 aligned overlapping ITS sequences of M. guzmanii (MG926695; SUPPLEMENTARY (Petersen et al. 2008). Cruentomycena species are characterized, however, by forming basidiomes that are entirely deep red, 4-spored basidia, a pileipellis with undifferentiated terminal cells, and an absence of irregular-diverticulate cells on the lamellar edge and in the pileipellis and stipitipellis. ...

Three new species of the gеnus Entoloma s.l. are described on the basis of morphological and molecular evidence. Two of them are morphologically and phylogenetically closely related to the European species E. violaceozonatum but differ sufficiently by their geographic distribution: E. bulakhae is from the Russian Far East and E. bidupense from Vietnam. The more distant E. atricolor from Vietnam is remarkable because of the brownish-black color of the basidiomata, blackish lamellae edge near the stem, and observed dimorphism in cheilocystidia. These three species are characterized by the combination of clamped basidia and a serrulatum-type lamellae edge and grouped together within the /Inocephalus–Cyanula clade in sister position to /Inocephalus and /Griseorubida. It is argued that they may possibly constitute a separate section in future, when more data will be available. For this reason, section Violaceozonata is proposed here “ad interim” to acknowledge the current isolated position.

Fifteen bioluminescent fungi recently collected from Peninsular Malaysia are analysed herein. The phylogeny of the Malaysian bioluminescent fungi and closely related taxa were evaluated with molecular data from the nuclear ribosom-al large subunit (LSU), RNA polymerase 2 second largest subunit (RPB2) and internal transcribed spacers (ITS) gene regions. DNA sequences data support the circumscription of species based on the morphological species concept, but was unable to fully support the current sectional delimitation of genus Mycena. Of the 15 taxa analysed here, four are novel species described herein, viz. Mycena gombakensis, M. nocticaelum, M. coralliformis and Panellus luxfilamentus; while four taxa of Mycena sect. Calodontes were recently described as new. One species (M. noctilucens) represents a new distribution record to Peninsular Malaysia, and six spe-cies (Neonothopanus nambi, Filoboletus manipularis, P. luminescens, Roridomyces pruinosoviscidus, M. chlorophos and M. illuminans) have been previously reported. Roridomyces pruinosoviscidus is accepted as a new combina-tion based on morphological and phylogenetic data. Culture morphology data indicate its potential for taxon delimitation as axenic cultures of each species produced unique and dis-tinguishable characteristics. Comprehensive descriptions, il-lustrations and photographs are provided on basidiome and culture morphology. A key to aid in species identification, comparisons with allied species and data on basidiome and mycelium luminescence are also provided. This study gives the first report on mycelial luminescence for M. noctilucens, P. luminescens, R. pruinosoviscidus as well as all new species described herein. The reports in this study bring the total known luminescent fungi worldwide to 81 species.
... Genetic distances between ITS sequences were estimated using PAUP*4.0.b10 (Swofford 2002). We consider a p-distance greater than 3 % to be a criterion that we will use to recognize new species, following Petersen et al. (2008) and Hughes et al. (2009). This approach was based on the data for within-species variation and heterozygosity from the Great Smoky Mountains National Park in the United States. ...

This study reveals the concordance, or lack thereof, between morphological and phylogenetic species concepts within Entoloma subg. Leptonia in boreal-temperate Eurasia, combining a critical morphological examination with a multigene phylogeny based on nrITS, nrLSU and mtSSU sequences. A total of 16 taxa was investigated. Emended concepts of subg. Leptonia and sect. Leptonia as well as the new sect. Dichroi are presented. Two species (Entoloma percoelestinum and E. sublaevisporum) and one variety (E. tjallingiorum var. laricinum) are described as new to science. On the basis of the morphological and phylogenetical evidence E. alnetorum is reduced to a variety of E. tjallingiorum, and E. venustum is considered a variety of E. callichroum. Accordingly, the new combinations E. tjallingiorum var. alnetorum and E. callichroum var. venustum are proposed. Entoloma lepidissimum var. pauciangulatum is now treated as a synonym of E. chytrophilum. Neotypes for E. dichroum, E. euchroum and E. lampropus are designated

Data on the diversity of boletoid fungi of the Bidoup – Nui Ba National Park are presented here and analyzed. An annotated list of 13 species are published for the first time for the National Park and 8 for the first time for Vietnam (Porphyrellus nigropurpureus, Phylloporus pachycystidiatus, Ph. rubiginosus, Pulveroboletus brunneopunctatus, Strobilomyces brunneolepidotus, S. calidus, Veloporphyrellus pseudovelatus, Xerocomus subparvus). Among plant communities of the National Park the mountain evergreen coniferous-broad-leaved forests dominated by Fagaceae, Lauraceae and Magnoliaceae and with the participation of representatives of Podocarpaceae and Pinaceae are characterized by the highest diversity of boletoid fungi. The species are illustrated with color photographs. The nucleotide sequences obtained during the study were deposited in NCBI GenBank.

A study of the diversity and taxonomy of the agaric genus Mycena (Mycenaceae, Agaricales, Basidiomycota) in Kerala State, India was carried out based on morphology. It revealed a total of fifty species belonging to the following fifteen sections: Sacchariferae (ten species), Fragilipedes (seven species), Hiemales (six species), Basipedes, Longisetae (five species each), Adonideae (three species), Exornatae, Galactopoda, Polyadelphia, Rubromarginatae, Spinosae (two species each) Calodontes, Hygrocyboideae, Radiatae and Supinae (one species each). All the fifty species discovered are presented here with detailed descriptions, photographs, illustrations and discussions. Key to the sections of the genus Mycena and keys to the Mycena species of each section encountered in Kerala are also given. Thirty five of these species are proposed here as new: Sacchariferae (M. albinea, M. apala, M. delicata, M. distincta, M. furfuracea, M. globispora, M. roseotincta and M. silvana), Fragilipedes (M. aruna, M. kapila, M. lomaza, M. parnaja, M. rajatha and M. ziragra), Hiemales (M. mulika, M. nimna, M. niranjana, M. sandra, M. sravaka and M. vamana), Basipedes (M. kapotha, M. nirbala, M. patala, M. sukshma and M. zikhara), Adonideae (M. kamala, M. kanika and M. rohitha), Polyadelphia (M. amala), Rubromarginatae (M. pingala and M. valkaja), Calodontes (M. sirayuktha), Hygrocyboideae (M. vimala), Radiatae (M. samula) and Supinae (M. swaathiae). Two taxa earlier reported from Kerala as two varieties (Mycena alphitophora var. distincta and Mycena alphitophora var. globispora) are elevated to species status. In most cases, there was no difficulty in incorporating the Kerala species into the infrageneric taxonomy developed by R. A. Maas Geesteranus. Several of these Mycena species showed high habitat specificity. The remarkably high number of new taxa and the habitat preferences of some of them together indicate that this region has a unique Mycena mycobiota with several probably endemic species.

Clade /omphalotaceae (Moncalvo et al. 2002) comprises several genera of the traditional family Tricholomataceae (a group of white-spored mushrooms). Using ITS 1-5.8S-ITS 2 sequences of nuclear ribosomal DNA, we present a phylogenetic reconstruction of /omphalotaceae. In order to use taxo-nomenclatural names as accurately as possible, we have compared voucher basidiomata to type specimens and have employed sexual compatibility experiments to probe the genetic cohesion of putatively related collections. Numerous generic type species are placed within the phylogeny and taxonomic implications are discussed. An area of tandem repeats was discovered in numerous species, with implications for their phylogenetic placement. In some widely distributed species phylogeographic signals were inferred. A few new taxa and a few new nomenclatural combinations are proposed.

Panellus, sensu lato has included putatively related taxa with uncertain affinities. Previous researchers suggested that Dictyopanus, a poroid mushroom, was closely related to the gilled Panellus, but affinities of Dictyopanus and Panellus to segregate genera of Tectella, Pleurotopsis and Sarcomyxa remained uncertain. Representative specimens and isolates of eight species of Panellus s.l. and Dictyopanus were examined; P. stypticus, P. mitis, P. ringens, P. violaceofulvus, P. serotinus, P. patellaris, P. longinquus and Dictyopanus pusillus. Phylogenies based on morphology and ribosomal large subunit DNA sequences were constructed. Both methods supported five clades: 1) D. pusillus and P. stypticus, 2) P. ringens and P. violaceofulvus; 3) P. mitis; 4) P. serotinus: and 5) P. patellaris. Inclusion of sequences for Resinomycena acadiensis, Mycena rutilanthiformis and M. clavicularis showed that Panellus s.l. was polyphyletic. Generic designations exist for all clades or terminal taxa except for Panellus mitis which may require new generic placement. Both P. stypticus and D. pusillus share a homologous Group I Intron at the same position of the ribosomal large subunit gene, further supporting a close relationship between Dictyopanus and Panellus.

Panellus stypticus fruits widely in Northern Hemisphere temperature forests but has also been collected in Alaska, Costa Rica, Australia and New Zealand. Previous studies established that there was a single biological species across eastern North America, Russia, Japan and New Zealand. In order to examine phylogenetic and biogeographical patterns within this species, the ribosomal ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 region was amplified for 67 collections representing North America, Eurasia, Australia and New Zealand and was sequenced for ten exemplars selected from different geographical areas. The amplified ITS sequence length for collections from New South Wales and Tasmania (Australia) and New Zealand was consistent within each of these geographical areas but varied between areas and was shorter than the ITS region for Northern Hemisphere collections. Length changes were due to a number of deletions. Deleted regions totaled 15 bp in collections from New South Wales, 29 bp from Tasmania and 88 bp from New Zealand. Parsimony analysis based on ITS sequences produced two major clades, a Northern Hemisphere clade and an Oceanian clade. The collection from New South Wales was basal to the Oceanian clade with collections from Tasmania and New Zealand as derived. Restriction fragment length polymorphisms based on BstZ I, Dra I and Hinf I identified several biogeographically separated haplotypes within this species. In the Northern Hemisphere, an eastern North American haplotype was separated from other P. stypticus collections that extended from Pacific North America to Asia. European collections also shared a unique haplotype. The presence of a nuclear ribosomal large subunit group I intron was inferred in all Northern Hemisphere collections and in collections from New South Wales by length variation of the PCR product and by sequencing of selected exemplars. ITS sequence data and the presence of a group I intron in the Northern Hemisphere and New South Wales collections provide evidence that Northern Hemisphere and Southern Hemisphere distributions were connected through South East Asia.

— We studied sequence variation in 16S rDNA in 204 individuals from 37 populations of the land snail Candidula unifasciata (Poiret 1801) across the core species range in France, Switzerland, and Germany. Phylogeographic, nested clade, and coalescence analyses were used to elucidate the species evolutionary history. The study revealed the presence of two major evolutionary lineages that evolved in separate refuges in southeast France as result of previous fragmentation during the Pleistocene. Applying a recent extension of the nested clade analysis (Templeton 2001), we inferred that range expansions along river valleys in independent corridors to the north led eventually to a secondary contact zone of the major clades around the Geneva Basin. There is evidence supporting the idea that the formation of the secondary contact zone and the colonization of Germany might be postglacial events. The phylogeographic history inferred for C. unifasciata differs from general biogeographic patterns of postglacial colonization previously identified for other taxa, and it might represent a common model for species with restricted dispersal.

Mycena fuscoradiata. a new species from La Reunion, and M. viscidocmenla. unreported from New Zealand, are described each as the type species of a new section, sect. Fuscoradiatae and sect. Viscidocruentae. Zusammenfassung: Myccna /uuuiadiaia. eine neue Art von der Insel La Reunion, und M. visculoeru-enta. bisher noch nicht aus Neuseeland gemeldet, werden als die Typusarten zweier neuer Sektionen. Sekt. Fuxciiriuliiihw und Sekt, l'isciducruenhie. beschrieben. The collections of mycenoid fungi made by the second author in the island La Reuni-on (France. Africa) resulted in two publications with the senior author (MAAS GEES-TERANLS& HALSKNECHT 1995, 1996) and the discovery of up to now three new spe-cies of Mycena. In this paper, another new species and two new sections of Mycenas of the southern hemisphere are added.
