“…Being edible and medicinally versatile, several strategies and priorities of conservation of Hericium spp. have been offered by Boddy et al (2011). In the Western Ghats, H. cirrhatum was found on the dead wood of endemic live trees of Euodia lunuankenda and this host is extensively used to manufacture plywood and matchsticks.…”

“…Hericium erinaceus was also known from the reserve forest of the Western Ghats during July 2012 (Karun & Sridhar 2016). Hericium cirrhatum, H. coralloides and H. erinaceus were recorded from Asia, North America and Europe (see Boddy et al 2011). …”

During inventory of macrofungi in the forests of Western Ghats, two hitherto unrecorded rare hydnoid taxa, Gyrodontium sacchari (Spreng.) Hjortstam (Agaricomycetes, Boletales, Coniophoraceae) and Hericium cirrhatum (Pers.) Nikol. (Agaricomycetes, Russulales, Hariciaceae) were recovered on decaying wood. Both are reported from North-Eastern India, thus the present report constitutes the first report for the Western Ghats of India. This communication embodies brief systematic accounts with illustrations, substrates, distributions and economic value of these hydnoid fungi.

“…In Europe, according to Hallenberg (1983), H. erinaceus is distributed in its central and southern part, in the north reaching southern Sweden. Although it is easily recognisable by its large globular fruitbodies with long whitish spines, its distribution and ecological data are often lacking, similarly to other hericioid fungi (Boddy et al 2011). Habitat preferences of the species in Slovakia were discussed earlier (Kunca & Čiliak 2017a).…”

The relationships between selected log parameters and occurrence of Hericium erinaceus fruitbodies as well as its phenological aspects and distribution in Slovakia were studied for the first time. The research was conducted with two datasets. The first dataset is based on 15-year monitoring of 20 oak logs with the aim to relate H. erinaceus preference to selected log variables. The other one comprises records obtained from 63 different localities in Slovakia. The monitoring data confirmed continual fruitbody production on the same dead log and at the same position for three consecutive years. Furthermore, the fruitbodies were observed for five continual years in the same section of a living oak tree trunk. Of the studied log characteristics, H. erinaceus showed preference for smaller log sizes. Based on the second dataset, the main fructification period is dated from August to November, but fruitbodies can be found until February. Logs with fruitbodies were predominantly classified into the initial wood decay stage (Stage 2). The majority (92%) of the localities were situated in areas with a mean annual temperature above 6°C.

“…taxonomically belongs to the phylum Basidiomycota (Basidiomycota, Agaricomycetes, Russulales, Hericiaceae). All members of this genus produce whitish basidiomata with icicle-like spines either formed on multiple branching or on a tough, unbranched cushion of basidioma tissue, growing mostly on dead or rotting wood (Ko et al 2005, Boddy et al 2011, Das et al 2011, Pallua et al 2012, Hallenberg et al 2013. Hericium basidiomata (also mycelia) have long been used in traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) to treat diseases (Lu et al 2002).…”

Application of micro-computed tomography to microstructure studies of the medicinal fungus Hericium coralloides

The potential of 3-D nondestructive imaging techniques such as micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) was evaluated to study morphological patterns of the potential medicinal fungus Hericium coralloides (Basidiomycota). Micro-CT results were correlated with histological information gained from scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and light microscopy (LM). It is demonstrated that the combination of these imaging methods results in a more distinct picture of the morphology of the edible and potentially medicinal Hericium coralloides basidiomata. In addition we have created 3-D reconstructions and visualizations based on micro-CT imagery from a randomly selected part of the upper region of a fresh H. coralloides basidioma: Analyses for the first time allowed an approximation of the evolutionary effectiveness of this bizarrely formed basidioma type in terms of the investment of tissue biomass and its reproductive output (production of basidiospores).
