“…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.

A remarkable increase in knowledge of fungal biodiversity in Italy has occurred in the last five years. The authors report up-to-date numbers of fungi (Basidiomycota and Ascomycota) by regions together with distributional and ecological data on hypogeous fungi. Specific case studies such as alpine fungi, orchid mycorrhizas symbionts, invasive species, and the use of macrofungi as food by red squirrels are analyzed. In situ conservation strategies carried out on target species and/or taxonomic groups are also indicated.

“…Moreover, even if invasion by saprophytes occurred, it is unlikely that they would possess sufficiently novel attributes relative to native saprophytes for them to exert an important effect (Bardgett and Wardle 2010). With regard to mutualists, while some invasive ectomycorrhizal fungal species form associations with native tree species in their new range, notably Amanita phalloides and Amanita muscaria (Pringle and Vellinga 2006), their impact on vegetation, or on the belowground subsystem, remains little understood. Indeed, impacts of invasive mycorrhizal fungi are best known in terms of their co-invasion with invasive host tree species, as we discuss later.…”

Forest ecosystems world-wide are being subjected to invasion by organisms representing all domains of life. Here we use a combined aboveground-belowground approach to provide a conceptual framework for assessing how forests respond to biological invasions. We first address mechanisms by which invasive plants and aboveground and belowground consumers impact on forests, and highlight that although we have a growing understanding of the determinants of the effects of invasive plants, for invasive consumers we have yet to move from a series of iconic case studies to the development of general principles. We also address the effects of invasive biota in the context of the drivers of invasion, coinvasion and invasional meltdown, the issue of simultaneous species gains and losses, and forest restoration and recovery post-invasion. We then highlight areas that would benefit from further work, particularly regarding underlying mechanisms, determinants of context-dependency of invader effects, and linkages between causes and consequences of invasion. In concluding, we emphasize that biological invaders have the potential for largescale and long-term impacts on forest processes, and consideration of these impacts in an abovegroundbelowground context will enable better prediction of future responses of forests to invaders and their management as well as of restoration efforts.
