Checklist of Hymenomycetes (Aphyllophorales s.l.) and Heterobasidiomycetes in Israel

Abstract

A checklist is presented concerning the species composition of Hymenomycetes (Aphyllophorales s.l.) and Heterobasidiomycetes in Israel based on data of previous studies and field sample collections. In total, 242 species are presented, of which five are new records for the Israeli mycobiota, namely Australohydnum dregeanum, Ceriporiopsis consobrina, C. resinascens, Fibroporia vaillantii, and Postia inocybe. The distribution and habitat of each species in Israel are also summarized. This checklist will serve as valuable data for future species diversity studies of these fungi in Israel.

First record of Inocutis tamaricis in Romania with comments on its cultural characteristics

“…Although this species has been reported from both living and dead Tamarix trunks (RYVARDEN and GILBERTSON 1993, BELTRÁN-TEJERA and RODRÍGUEZ-ARMAS 1999, GHOBAD-NEJHAD and KOTIRANTA 2008, the vast majority of authors report that this species was only detected on living Tamarix species (PEGLER 1964, INTINI 1977, KLÁN 1978, HEJNÝ and KOTLABA 1984, BONDARTSEVA and PAR-MASTO 1986, JÜLICH 1989, LLIMONA et al 1995, TENTORI 1997, BERNICCHIA 2005, DAI et al 2007, DAI et al 2009, ASSYOV et al 2010, ŢURA et al 2010, ZHOU et al 2011, ALEXOV et al 2012, DAI 2012. Our results show that I. tamaricis occurs in Romania as a parasite.…”

Notulae to the Italian flora of algae, bryophytes, fungi and lichens: 9

“…The molecular comparison (nITS rDNA sequence) of our specimen with those available in GenBank (Boudagga et al 2017;Hashemi et al 2017) confirmed the identification. As far as we know, and despite a number of records for Asia and Africa (Karsten 1887;Salem and Michail 1980;Dai 2010;Ţura et al 2010;Boudagga et al 2017;Hashemi et al 2017), no indication of this species for Europe has been reported, so far. Pluteus semibulbosus is an agaricoid, lignicolous, saprotrophic fungus, showing pileate and stipitate basidiomata.…”

Global Phylogeny and Taxonomy of the Wood-Decaying Fungal Genus Phlebiopsis (Polyporales, Basidiomycota)

“…& Broome from Sri Lanka in synonymy; see below for further discussion of these two taxa. Although A. dregeanum has since been reported from India ( De, 1998 , as Oxyporus vellereus ), South Korea ( Lim, 2001 ; Lim and Jung, 2003 ), New Zealand ( Buchanan and Ryvarden, 2000 ), Portugal ( Melo and Hjortstam, 2002 ), Israel ( Ţura et al, 2011 ), and Italy ( Saitta et al, 2014 ), the basidiospore size, when given, is significantly smaller than the African collections.…”
