Nidularia pulvinata (Schwein.) Fries (Gasteromycetes): a new record from Brazil

Abstract

-(Nidularia pulvinata (Schwein.) Fries (Gasteromycetes): a new record from Brazil). A survey of the gasteroid mycota from cerrado vegetation of the state of São Paulo, Brazil, revealed for the first time a rare species of nidulariaceous fungi, Nidularia pulvinata, growing on decaying wood of Syagrus flexuosa (Mart.) Beccari (Palmae). Descriptions of the macro and microscopic features of N. pulvinata, including taxonomic considerations, are given.RESUMO -(Nidularia pulvinata (Schwein.)

“…BASIONYM: Cyathus pulvinatus Schwein. LOCALITIES: SP (Baseia & Milanez 2001b), RS (Cortez et al 2006).…”

Two new records of Cyathus species for South America

“…Johannes Rick, considered the father of Brazilian mycology (Fidalgo 1962). Thus, studies of Brazilian fungi evolved in such way that attracted researchers in various regions of the country (Bononi et al 1984, Baseia & Milanez 2001a, Baseia & Milanez 2001b, Baseia & Milanez 2003, Cortez et al 2006, Trierveiler-Pereira & Baseia 2009, Trierveiler-Pereira et al 2009, Cruz et al 2012. Despite this increase, many areas of Brazil remain unexplored or little studied.…”
