New species of fungi for Sverdlovsk region (The Middle Urals, Russia) on alien and aborigine woody plants

Authors:

Abstract

The paper continues a series of publications devoted to the new finds of fungi (Ascomycota, Basidiomycota) in Sverdlovsk Region (the Middle Urals, Russia). Totally, 75 species of macro-and microfungi reported on alien and aborigine woody plants for the first time in the region. The most numerous group are alien plant pathogenic fungi (71%) developing on cultivated fruit trees in gardens and parks, as well as on many common species of trees and shrubs in urban greening.

The paper continues a series of publications devoted to the new finds of fungi (Ascomycota, Basidiomycota) in
Sverdlovsk Region (the Middle Urals, Russia). Totally, 75 species of macro- and microfungi reported on alien
and aborigine woody plants for the first time in the region. The most numerous group are alien plant pathogenic
fungi (71%) developing on cultivated fruit trees in gardens and parks, as well as on many common species of trees
and shrubs in urban greening.

INTRODUCTION
The paper is a seventh in the series of publications
devoted to the new finds of fungi in Sverdlovsk Region
on alien and invasive woody plants (Shiryaev et al.,
2021; 2022a, 2022b; 2023; Bulgakov, Shiryaev, 2021,
2022). Each annotated record provides details about
specimen ecology and collection information: locality,
substrate, date of collecting and specimen herbarium
numbers.
MATERIALS AND METHODS
Specimens were collected by A.G. Shiryaev,
T.S. Bulgakov, O.S. Shiryaeva and A.S. Budimirov
within Ekaterinburg city territory in 2000–2023. The
collected specimens were processed in the mycological
collections of Institute of Plant and Animal Ecology of
Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences
(Ekaterinburg, SVER), in the Department of Plant
Protection of the Federal Research Center “Subtropi-
cal Scientific Center of the Russian Academy of Sci-
ences” (Sochi), and in the Komarov Botanical Insti-
tute (Saint Petersburg, LE).
The identification of the fungal species was carried
out by light microscopy of temporary preparations ac-
cording to standard methods (Blagoveshchenskaya,
2015); special keys books and monographs were used to
determinate the fungal species (Kuprevich, Ulyanish-
chev, 1975; Ulyanishchev, 1978; Sutton, 1980; Butin,
1989; Braun, Melnik, 1997; Ellis and Ellis, 1997;
Braun, 1998; Karatygin, 2002; Braun, Cook, 2012;
Knudsen, Vesterholt, 2012; Ryvarden, Melo, 2014;
Blagoveshchenskaya, 2015), as well as some additional
publications devoted to the study and taxonomical re-
vision of the some particular fungal taxa and new spe-
cies descriptions (Chethana et al., 2015; Daranagama
et al., 2016; Norphanphoun et al., 2017; Vohlmayr et al.,
2017; Hyde et al., 2018; Jaklitsch et al., 2018; Crous et
al., 2020) and open global data base “Fungal Databas-
es: U.S. National Fungus Collections” (Farr, Ross-
man, 2023). The names of fungal species are given ac-
cording to the open database “MycoBank” (Myco-
Bank, 2023).
The host plant species were identified by the key-
book “Keys to the trees and shrubs species of the
Urals” (Mamaev, 2000); the plant species are given ac-
cording to the open nomenclatural database “Plant of
the World Online” (POWO, 2023). Some introduced
exotic plant species in the collections of the Botanical
garden were determined according to the personal data

the vicinity of Sargaya village (Krasnoufimsk District),
where it is found on trunk of Querqus robur in mixed forest,
11.09.1960, SVER 910108 (the specimen has not been previ-
ously published). The species is poorly resolved taxonomi-
cally, and it is in need of a critical revision utilizing molecu-
lar techniques, but the absence of type specimens complicate
revision (Funga.., 2012; Malysheva et al., 2016). Therefore,
studied collections are considered as Pluteus phlebophorus in
morphological concept proposed by Vellinga (1990).

DISCUSSION
Previously, 20 species of exobasidioid fungi were
known in Sverdlovsk Region (Shiryaev et al., 2010;
Shiryaev, Stavishenko, 2011). As a result of this study,
four new species were identified. Consequently, 24 spe-
cies of exobasidioid fungi are recorded in the region
now. This group of fungi was previously found only in
the natural habitats of the region, and now four species
have been identif ied on alien plants in the Botanical
Garden of the Ural Branch of the Russian Academy of
Sciences (BG UrB RAS): Exobasidium miyabei and
E. rhododendrii were found on living leaves of several
East Asian Rhododendron species in open ground, and
one species was found on living leaves of the host plants

SHIRYAEV et al.
in greenhouses: Graphiola phoenicis – on Phoenix ca-
nariensis. One new species, Exobasidium cassiopes,
parasitizes the leaves of Cassiope tetragona in natural
conditions.
Previously, 29 species of powdery mildew fungi
were recorded on woody plants in Sverdlovsk Region
(Bulgakov, Shiryaev, 2022). Currently, this list has in-
creased (up to 35 species totally) by six species, which
were found on alien species of trees and shrubs, includ-
ing one exotic species – Erysiphe euonymicola – was
found on the leaves of Euonymus japonica in the green-
houses of BG UrB RAS.
There were 12 species of rust fungi previously re-
corded in Sverdlovsk Region on trees and shrubs (Bul-
gakov, Shiryaev, 2021). This number has been in-
creased (up to 16 species) by four new found species.
All identified alien fungi can be divided into three
main groups due to the origins of fungi and host plant
species: 1) invasive; 2) co-introduced; 3) conditional
alien species.
The invasive fungal species have spread in Ekaterin-
burg city as parasites of native plants. Such species are
most numerous among powdery mildew fungi (genus
Erysiphe). Their appearance in the territory of Ekater-
inburg is a consequence of their wide-scale invasions in
Europe or the temperate climate zone of whole Eur-
asia. A striking example of such species is Ophiostoma
novo-ulmi, causing Dutch elm disease; this fungus has
become a common pathogen in the natural range of
Ulmus species 1970s (Desprez-Loustau, 2009). The
other potentially dangerous pathogens of pines would
be Cyclaneusma minus and Diplodia sapinea, if they will
get the ability to infect the native pine species Pinus syl-
vestris (Desprez-Loustau, 2009).
Co-introduced alien species form the second (and
the largest) group represented mostly by specialized
plant pathogens that “follow” their host plants. The
appearance of these species in Ekaterinburg is a conse-
quence of co-introduction (coupled introduction) of
fungi and their host plants in the region (or invasion of
host plants). Many of such species have spread thou-
sands of kilometers within the secondary range of their
host plants, often from one to another continent, or
from one part of the world to another one (Desprez-
Loustau, 2009). Those are fungi associated with plants
originating in North America: Acervuloseptoria fraxini
on Fraxinus pennsylvanica and Ragnhildiana ampelop-
sidis on Parthenocissus quinquefolia, as well as the Cen-
tral, East and South Asian species: Cytospora parasitica
on Malus baccata, Neophloeospora maculans on Morus
alba, Juglanconis oblonga and Ophiognomonia leptostyla
on Juglans mandshurica. However, many introduced
alien plant and fungal species were removed within
Eurasia continent from its west (Europe, Caucasus),
central (Central Asia) or east parts (Eastern Asia).
Conditional alien fungi are usually associated with
woody plants of genera having edge of their natural
ranges in the Middle Urals: Acer platanoides, Corylus
avellana, Malus sylvestris, Populus alba, Quercus robur,
Rhamnus cathartica, and some other plants (Gorcha-
kovsky et al., 1994). The appearance of fungal species
associated with such plants in Ekaterinburg can be
considered as a “step beyond the natural range” fol-
lowing the introduction of host plants. However, a part
of this group also can be treated as invasive species (in
Europe at general), for example, Erysiphe alphitoides
and E. corylacearum (Desprez-Loustau, 2009; Braun,
Cooke, 2012).
An interesting case is the two species found on Acer
negundo, Phaebotryon negundinis and Neodidymelliop-
sis negundinis; the latter species was found not only on
the ash-leaved maple Acer negundo, but also on the Eu-
ropean spindle tree Euonymus europaeus (Hyde et al.,
2018). Thus, it may be an invasive fungal species intro-
duced from North America, or poor-known Eurasian
species infecting many plants. The origin of the Thyro-
stroma species (Thyrostroma tiliae and T. u l m i co l a) is
still unclear, too; most likely, they are Central Asian
species (Senwanna et al., 2017).
The study was supported by the Russian Science
Foundation (project № 22-26-00228). The authors are
grateful to O.A. Kiseleva (Ekaterinburg) for providing
fungal specimens.

... (accessed on 19 June 2023). This fungus was recently found in Sverdlovsk province on a dead tree of Alnus glutinosa (L.) Gaertn. in a suburban forest of EKB [47]. The question arises: did this fungus inhabit the natural biocenoses of the region and from there "come" to the greenhouses, or vice versa-was it brought into the greenhouses, and is it now settling into nature? ...
... Severe cold winters limit the development of non-native thermophilic species of flora and mycobiota. Undoubtedly, some species are capable of spreading through non-native woody plants planted in gardens and forest belts along roads and railways, but the penetration of non-native species of aphyllophoroid fungi into stable old-growth boreal forests has so far been detected only in a few anthropogenic territories [31,47,[54][55][56]. ...

It is generally accepted that mycobiota diversity in urban greenhouses is poorer than in natural ecosystems, but our knowledge on this field of research is fragmentary. Here, we present the results of a long-term study of aphyllophoroid macrofungi (Basidiomycota) forming fruitbodies on non-native sub/tropical woody and herbaceous plants in the greenhouses of Saint Petersburg, Moscow, and Ekaterinburg botanical gardens located in the hemiboreal vegetation subzone of Eastern Europe. Over 20 years of research, fruitbodies of 58 species of aphyllophoroid fungi have been identified. Fungal species that developed on the wooden structures of greenhouses and building materials made of local wood are discussed separately. The list of fungi on non-native substrates is dominated by saprobes (93.1% of total list) as well as mycorrhizal with basidiomata on plants (8.6%). Phytopathogens have the lowest number (7.0%), and ¾ of species are widespread locally. Non-native plants are dominated by native fungal species (78.9%), while the percentage of non-native species is low (21.1%). In the three surveyed cities, the area of the studied greenhouses is 2.8 ha, and not a single species of fungi has been found twice on the same substrate. Half of the identified species are characterized by a single specimen (29 species/50.9%). Hymenochaete rheicolor was discovered in Russia for the first time and its known distribution is discussed. Only six (Antrodia gossypium, Hyphodontia arguta, Lyomyces sambuci, Peniophora cinerea, Ramariopsis kunzei, and Trechispora farinacea) local species (10.5%) were collected in all the three cities. The α-diversity of mycobiota (mean number of species per site, Shannon Index, and Menhinick Index) in the Ekaterinburg’s greenhouses is 1.2–3.0 times lower compared to suburban forest parks and old-growth natural forests, while β-diversity (Whittaker Index, Jaccard Index, and Morisita–Horn Index), on the contrary, is 2.1–7.7 times higher. With the plants’ age, the probability of detecting fungi on them increases significantly. In greenhouses, phytopathogenic aphyllophoroid macrofungi are collected on woody plants only, but the probability of their development is not related to the plants’ age.

We report 115 species of Fungi (Ascomycota, Basidiomycota) and Stramenopiles (Oomycota) as new to Sverdlovsk Region. Four species are new to Russia (Boeremia heteromorpha, Chuppomyces cf. handelii, Nectria nigrescens, Passalora cf. menispermi). 94% of species were identified only on alien plants in Ekaterinburg urban green plantations and greenhouses. Pathogenic species account for 92%, while several species are harmful plant pathogens.

From 2002 to 2022, in Sverdlovsk oblast as a modelregion, 136 species of wood-inhabiting fungi were identified on WLPs: 127 species of Basidiomycota and9 species of Ascomycota. Fungi develop on 12 out of 20 species of WLPs. The largest number of fungal specieswas found on the alien Caragana arborescens (115 species/84.5% of the total number of species), while twospecies were collected on Caragana decorticans, C. ussuriensis, and Laburnum alpinum each and one specieswas collected on Genista florida. A total of 122 species of fungi were found on nine alien WLPs, which is4.1 times more than on three native species. The largest number of substrate-specific fungal species can befound to develop on C. arborescens (85/62.5%), four species on Chamaecytisus ruthenicus (2.9%), three spe-cies on Maackia amurensis (2.2%), two on Genista tinctoria and Robinia pseudoacacia each (1.5%), and onespecies on Caragana ussuriensis (0.7%). Nectria cinnabarina develops on the maximum number of substrates,seven WLP species; Xylodon sambuci on six species; and Peniophora cinerea and Schizophyllum commune onfour species. In contrast, 71.3% of fungal species were found on one WLP species, and 27.2% of species arecharacterized by a single finding. For the first time for Sverdlovsk oblast, 14 fungal species are indicated, ofwhich 86% were found in the parks of Ekaterinburg city and tree-lines along the roads, but only 14% were innatural conditions. In order to reveal the latitudinal–zonal specificity for the distribution of species richnessof the WLP associated mycobiota, we use Aphyllophoroids as the largest group of fungi among all analyzed(75% of species), and Caragana arborescens, or Siberian peashrub is the richest plant substrate. Changes inthe fungal diversity were studied along a meridional transect stretching for 800 km along 60° E, from the mid-dle boreal subzone of Sverdlovsk oblast to the steppes of Chelyabinsk oblast (Russia) and Kostanay oblast(Kazakhstan). In each of the five vegetation zones/subzones, as well as in Ekaterinburg city, six sites werestudied, the area of which varies from 0.9 to 6.8 ha. The aboveground phytomass of C. arborescens is maximalin the forest steppe (8.9–11.7 t/ha), and minimal at the edges of the transect (2.4–5.8 t/ha). A positive cor-relation was found between the aboveground plant phytomass and the species richness of mycobiota, whilethere was no correlation with climatic parameters. Notable differences were found in Ekaterinburg city: theSiberian peashrub phytomass was two times lower than in the forest steppe, but the species richness of myco-biota was similar to the forest steppe. A similar result was obtained for the α diversity (average number of fun-gal species at the sites and Shannon index) of mycobiota: an increase in the parameters from the middleboreal subzone to the forest steppe and a decrease in the steppe. The Whittaker and Czekanowski–Sørensenindices (β diversity) increase towards the steppe, which is due to a strong relationship with the mean annualtemperature and precipitation. A range of fungal species gravitating towards northern, southern, and urban-ized conditions has been revealed. In the north of transect, local species of fungi predominate, while in thesouth and in Ekaterinburg city, the role of biogeographically distant (alien) taxa is high. In this regard, thespecies composition of mycobiota of Siberian peashrub is divided into two clusters, northern (boreal) andsouthern (nemoral-steppe) ones, including Ekaterinburg city. To the south, the species richness of patho-genic fungi increases, but this parameter does not correlate with the C. arborescens phytomass. In plantings ofinvasive Siberian peashrub, the species richness of the poroid fungi is similar to that of the corticioid fungi atthe local and regional level, which differs significantly from natural conditions. A high level of pathogenicfungi was also revealed compared to natural conditions. The results can be used to optimize the conceptionof Greenway planning in Ekaterinburg city and help prevent a number of environmental problems arisingafter the rapid implementation of the strategy for developing the city and the surrounding areas.

Based on the results of the authors' research and revisions of previous information, modern species diversity has been established and the first annotated list of powdery fungi on woody plants in urban habitats of Sverdlovsk Region (Ekaterinburg and several cities of the region) has been compiled. Totally, 29 species of Erysiphaceae have been recorded, among which the majority belong to the genus Erysiphe (17 species), and other belong to the genera Podosphaera (7), Phyllactinia (3) and Sawadaea (2). Six species were first found in Sverdlovsk Region: Erysiphe ehrenbergii, E. euonymi, E. lonicerae, E. viburni, Podosphaera myrtillina, and P. spiraeae. Almost half of all identified species (14 of 29) are alien to Sverdlovsk Region, while 6 species can be considered as invasive, of which two species originate from North America (Erysiphe necator and Podosphaera mors-uvae) and four species from East Asia (Erysiphe alphitoides, E. corylacearum, E. palczewskii, and E. vanbruntiana), and another eight species can be considered as unintentionally introduced from neighboring regions together with their host plants. The growth of most species occurs in the period from mid-June to the end of September. The majority of recorded Erysiphaceae species (25 out of 29) form both anamorph and teleomorph, and only four species (Erysiphe aquilegiae, E. necator, Podosphaera pannosa и P. spiraeae) are recorded in the anamorphic stage only.

The species richness and composition of macro- and microfungi on vine species in the parks of Ekaterinburg City (the Ural macroregion, Russia) located in the southern boreal vegetation subzone in a continental climate was studied. The average annual air temperature has increased by 3.1 °C since the beginning of the 20th century; therefore, the conditions for the growth of vines have improved. These conditions include warmer winters and, consequently, less frost damage to perennial plants. Due to the warmer climate, the area of vines grown in the city has increased five times over half a century, and the yield of grapes has grown 3.7 times. The alien East Asian vines are the most dominate vine species cultivated, while European, North American, and native plant species, including archaeophytes, together only represent a handful of the species cultivated. At the same time, 65% of the area of woody vines in the city is covered by a North American species, namely Parthenocissus quinquefolia. An increase in the number of vine species, their biomass, and covered areas contributes to an increase in the number of fungal species growing on these vine species. In total, 81 species of phytopathogenic and 87 species of saprobic macro- and microfungi have been recorded during the century-long history of mycological research in Ekaterinburg City. Mycobiota of vines in Ekaterinburg City is biogeographically heterogeneous and 1.1‒3.2 times richer in comparison with ones of the regions located on the northern limit of natural ranges of the vines. Recorded macrofungi (Basidiomycota) are predominantly present on native boreal species; however, some exotic tropical and subtropical East Asian fungal species (that have not ever been recorded on other substrates in the natural forests of the Urals and Siberia) are found here too. Recorded microfungi are highly specialized vine-associated species (mainly Ascomycota) that are widespread within the natural ranges of the vines and absent in the boreal zone of Eurasia: there are 63 vine-associated species (15 macro- and 48 microfungi) in Ekaterinburg that are not found in the Urals on other substrates. Many of these species have been recorded for the first time in this study, so we consider that they invaded Ekaterinburg City in the last 20 years, likely due to the warming climate observed over the last decades in the region. There are 19 and 32 species of phytopathogenic fungi collected in the families Cucurbitaceae and Vitaceae, respectively. During the past 40 years, the recorded fungal species richness has increased by 16% on Cucurbitaceae, as well as 37% on grapes. In this study, the distribution of vine-associated fungi, including phytopathogenic fungal species, from the nearest regions of ancient vine culture (Southern European Russia and the Caucasus, Central Asia, the south of Russian Far East) to the boreal regions of the Urals were investigated. The increase in the range of these phytopathogenic fungal species can lead to significant economic losses to the regional agricultural sector.

Species composition of basidiomycetous macrofungi (class Agaricomycetes) associated with vines in Ekaterinburg Сity environment was revealed and characterized for the first time. Over a hundred-year history of the study of the macrofungal diversity on this type of substrate was analyzed. A total of 108 species were identified during field and herbarium observations, among them 15 species (Cerioporus rangiferinus, Crepidotus subverrucisporus, Crustomyces expallens, Flammulina fennae, F. rossica, Gloeohypochnicium analogum, Hohenbuehelia grisea, Hydnophlebia chrysorhiza, Mycoacia uda, Pholiota limonella, Ph. tuberculosa, Pluteus podospileus, Radulomyces rickii, Stecherinum bourdotii, Tomentella olivascens) represent a first record for Sverdlovsk Region. One species, Loweomyces wynneae, was collected in the middle of the 20th century and has not been found in Sverdlovsk Region for more than half a century. Agaricomycetous macrofungi were found on 25 species of vines. The greatest number of fungi was found on Magnolia-Vine and Variegated-Leaf Hardy Kiwi (38 species on each), North American Virginia Creeper and Amur Grape Vine (36 species on each). The richest Agaricomycetes group is aphyllophoroid fungi (78.5% of the total number of species), whereas for agaricoids, gasteroids and heterobasidiomycetous fungi in the range 2.8-13.9%. The most widespread species, Typhula micans, was found on 16 species of the studied vines. Also, rather common species were Xylodon sambuci, Cylindrobasidium evolvens, Irpex lacteus, Peniophora cinerea, and Bjerkandera adusta. Forty four fungal species (40.7%) collected on one vine species only. In trophic mode, the group of xylosaprotrophs predominates, including those associated with dead stems (74.1%), whereas litter-destroyers contain 17.6%. Also, there are some parasitic (11.1%) and ectomycorrhizal (Pseudotomentella, Sebacina, Tomentella) species (4.6%).

Dothidotthia and Thyrostroma (Dothidotthiaceae, Pleosporineae, Pleosporales) species are plant pathogens causing canker, dieback and leaf spots on a wide range of hosts. However, the naming species is difficult, due to insufficient protologues, poor phylogenetic understanding due to the lack of sequence data from type species and low-quality illustrations. Moreover, the connections between asexual and sexual morphs of these genera are unclear. In this study, fresh samples of Dothidotthia and Thyrostroma were collected from symptomatic twigs and branches in southern European Russia. Multi-gene phylogenetic analyses based on a concatenated LSU, SSU, ITS and TEF1-α sequence dataset were used to investigate the phylogenetic position and confirm relationships of the asexual and sexual morphs in these genera of Dothidotthiaceae. In this study, Dothidotthia can easily be distinguished from Thyrostroma based on multi-gene phylogenetic analyses coupled with morphological characters. The new species, Dothidotthia robiniae, Thyrostroma celtidis, T. lycii, T. moricola, T. robiniae, T. styphnolobii, T. tiliae, T. ulmicola and T. ulmigenum are introduced. In addition, Neodothidotthia negundinicola clusters with species of Dothidotthia and hence Neodothidotthia is synonymized under Dothidotthia. Two new combinations, D. negundinicola and D. negundinis, are introduced.
