Hayova V.P., Heluta V.P., Shevchenko M.V. 2019. Fomitopsis officinalis (Polyporales): are there any records of the fungus known from Ukraine? Ukrainian Botanical Journal, 77(1): 40-43. Abstract. Fomitopsis officinalis is listed in the Red Data Book of Ukraine as an extinct species. According to the data published therein on its former distribution in Ukraine, the species was reported in Ivano-Frankivsk and Lviv regions in the first half of the 20 th century. However, our analysis of the bibliographic references listed for this species has revealed no records of the fungus in the country. The article provides a brief overview of the published literature sources used as a basis for its red-listing on the national level. Most probably the information on the occurrence of F. officinalis in Ukraine derived from other countries where the fungus, particularly in the past, was most common and its fruit bodies were extensively collected. Since historical data on the occurrence of F. officinalis in Ukraine are highly doubtful, the species should be excluded from the Red Data Book of Ukraine.
Shevchenko M.V., Heluta V.P., Hayova V.P. 2019. Distribution and conservation status of Grifola frondosa (Polyporales, Basidiomycota) in Ukraine. Ukrainian Botanical Journal, 76(2): 144-151. Abstract. Grifola frondosa is a nationally red-listed species in Ukraine. In the third edition of the Red Data Book of Ukraine it is assigned to a category Vulnerable (VU). Previously, the fungus was known from 17 localities in nine regions of Ukraine: Cherkasy, Dnipropetrovsk, Donetsk, Kharkiv, Kherson, Kyiv, Sumy, Ternopil, Transcarpatian, and the Autonomous Republic of Crimea. Over the recent decade, G. frondosa has been also recorded in the following eight regions: Chernihiv, Chernivtsi, Ivano-Frankivsk, Khmelnytskyi, Lviv, Rivne, Volyn, Zhytomyr, and Kyiv city. Thus, a number of known up to now localities of G. frondosa increased from 17 to more than 40. However, the expanded number of records is due to additional data recently provided from field observations by amateur mycologists, rather than a result of the increasing population trend of the fungus. Based on the current distribution pattern of G. frondosa in Ukraine, its contemporary conservation status on the national level was evaluated using the IUCN categories and criteria. The species was assessed as Endangered, EN under criteria С2а(і). This is the higher threat category as compared to Vulnerable (VU) in the current edition of the Red Data Book of Ukraine. For conservation purposes, it is necessary to protect the already known sites, to search for new localities of the fungus, and to explore possibilities of its re-introduction into natural habitats. Global distribution and the Red List status of G. frondosa in Europe are briefly discussed. A list of currently known localities of the species in Ukraine and a distribution map of the reported sites are provided.
The article provides current information on distribution patterns of six species of aphyllophoroid fungi (Agaricomycetes, Basidiomycota) listed in the Red Data Book of Ukraine: Clavariadelphus pistillaris, Gomphus clavatus, Hericium coralloides, Picipes rhizophilus, Polyporus umbellatus, and Sparassis crispa. Altogether, about 500 occurrences of the fungal fruitbodies in the country are reported. Of them, over 410 recent observations have been added to those published in the Red Data Book of Ukraine in 2009. Majority of that data has been provided over the last few years via mushroom citizen science, i.e. involvement of volunteers in collecting distribution data for macrofungi with large and distinctive fruitbodies. Only specialist-verified observations were included in the datasets reported in the article. The compiled data will serve as a considerably improved basis for future re-assessments of the conservation status of these threatened species for the next edition of the Red Data Book of Ukraine.
As a result of mycological research 290 species of fungi from various systematic groups belonging to the Ascomycota and Basidiomycota were recorded on the territory of the Male Polissia National Nature Park. The powdery mildews and discomycetes (55 and 15 species, respectively) dominated among the recorded Ascomycota. The agaricoid (120 species), aphyllophoroid (36 species), boletoid (19 species) and the rust fungi (9 species) prevailed among Basidiomycota. Of the identified species, 289 are first noted for the park, 56 species are new for Central Polissia; 42 species are new for Polissia; eight species (Clitocybe sinopica, Conocybe ambiqua, Cortinarius decipiens, Entoloma graphitipes, Galerina hybrida, Lactarius scoticus, Russula aquosa and R. betularum) and one variety (Cortinarius flexipes var. flabellus) were first recorded for Ukraine. New localities of the two species listed in the Red Data Book of Ukraine, i.e. Grifola frondosa and Pseudoboletus parasiticus were noted within the park. Some macromycetes, which are rare or relatively rare in Ukraine, are also found (Amylocorticium canadense, Conocybe subxerophytica var. brunnea, Cortinarius diasemospermus, C. flexipes var. flexipes, Entoloma rhodocalix, Flammulaster muricatus, Galerina atkinsoniana, G. norvegica, Lachnella alboviolascens, Melanoleuca microcephala, Mycena niveipes, and M. viridimarginata). Among the powdery mildews Erysiphe lycopsidis, E. mayorii, E. penicillata, E. urticae, Golovinomyces circumfusus, Phyllactinia alnicola, Podosphaera epilobii, P. major and P. myrtillina are relatively rare. The record of the rust fungus Kuehneola uredinis is the easternmost in Ukraine. The relatively rare discomycetes comprise Ascobolus carbonarius, Coccomyces tumidus, Leotia lubrica, Mollisia olivascens, and Scutellinia crinita. Some rare species have also been found among the fungicolous fungi, such as Fusicolla merismoides, Hypomyces luteovirens and Tomentella ellisii. The work contains a list of all species of fungi recorded in the Male Polissia National Nature Park during this study.
ARTICLE DATAThis article is devoted to the study of the origins of the basic principle of China's normative architecture: the principle of modularity. The author shows the most ancient examples of modularity manifestation both in the spatial structure of buildings in early dynasties and in wooden framework construction. Based on the analysis of proportions of the oldest wooden structures in China and Japan of the 6th-8th century, the main modular values used in Chinese wooden architecture were identified. The obtained data were also compared with the rules for modular construction, recorded in the treatise "Yingzao Fashi", dating back to the 12th century.
