“…Five highly pathogenic species of fungi are on the list of One Hundred of the World's Worst Invasive Alien Species [4]. Among non-pathogenic fungi, more detailed descriptions of invasion patterns have only been published for a few ectomycorrhizal fungi [5,6]. Aside from the well-described pathways of the distribution of a woodinhabiting species, Favolaschia calocera [7], very little is known about the abundance and spread of foreign saprotrophic fungi.…”

Clathrus archeri is a saprotrophic fungus native to Australia and New Zealand and known in Europe since the beginning of the 20 th century. In Poland, C. archeri was recorded for the fi rst time in 1973 and since then basidiomata of this fungus have been recorded almost 90 times, mostly in the southern part of the country. In the present study, we update the distribution of C. archeri in Poland and include the latest records from Central Poland. We show a signifi cant increase in the number of C. archeri observations in recent years (R 2 = 0.400, p<0.001). Our research shows that precipitation should be regarded as an important factor in the spread of C. archeri. Additionally, intraspecifi c genetic variability of nrRNA of C. archeri from different localities in Poland has been determined. Obtained results indicate zero to low levels of diversity in the nrITS and nrLSU sequences obtained from 16 C. archeri basidiomata from different localities in Poland (evolutionary divergence between sequences up to 0.002 and 0.001 for nrITS and nrLSU, respectively). Finally we identify some limitations in this research and make suggestions for future studies of pathways of the distribution of this fungus in the new area.

“…As far as ectomycorrhizal fungi are concerned, their accidental introduction and spreading have been carefully studied and monitored for Amanita muscaria (Johnston and Buchanan 1998;Sawyer et al 2001;Bagley and Orlovich 2004), A. phalloides (Pringle and Vellinga 2006), Boletus edulis s.l. (Hall et al 1998), and some Eucalyptus-associated species (Díez 2005). These symbiotic fungi have been accidentally introduced when allochthonous trees are planted for agriculture and reforestation (Garrido 1986;Dunstan et al 1998;Hall et al 1998;Stringer et al 2002;Díez 2005).…”

“…Introduced microbial mutualists may become abundant in novel ranges, but they generally persist with their introduced hosts and rarely establish functional symbioses with novel hosts (Diez, 2005;Vellinga et al, 2009;Dickie et al, 2010;Jairus et al 2011). Our work with A. phalloides provides a sharp contrast to these previous studies and demonstrates that this European fungal symbiont can shift to associate with multiple hosts that are endemic to North America.…”

Geographically structured host specificity is caused by the range expansions and host shifts of a symbiotic fungus

The inability to associate with local species may constrain the spread of mutualists arriving to new habitats, but the fates of introduced, microbial mutualists are largely unknown. The deadly poisonous ectomycorrhizal fungus Amanita phalloides (the death cap) is native to Europe and introduced to the East and West Coasts of North America. By cataloging host associations across the two continents, we record dramatic changes in specificity among the three ranges. On the East Coast, where the fungus is restricted in its distribution, it associates almost exclusively with pines, which are rarely hosts of A. phalloides in its native range. In California, where the fungus is widespread and locally abundant, it associates almost exclusively with oaks, mirroring the host associations observed in Europe. The most common host of the death cap in California is the endemic coast live oak (Quercus agrifolia), and the current distribution of A. phalloides appears constrained within the distribution of Q. agrifolia. In California, host shifts to native plants are also associated with a near doubling in the resources allocated to sexual reproduction and a prolonged fruiting period; mushrooms are twice as large as they are elsewhere and mushrooms are found throughout the year. Host and niche shifts are likely to shape the continuing range expansion of A. phalloides and other ectomycorrhizal fungi introduced across the world.
