“…IKI refers to Melzer's reagent and KOH to 5 % potassium hydroxide, CB+ means cyanophilous, CB-acyanophilous, and IKI-with neither amyloid nor dextrinoid reaction. Brands and formulas of these reagents have been explained by Niemelä et al (2004).…”

The paper summarizes fi eld inventories of polypores and associated beetles in northwestern Finland (Lapland) in the years [2001][2002][2003][2004]. The research area includes nearvirgin or old-growth forests of the Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park and the Pisavaara Strict Nature Reserve, one of the largest areas of protected forests in the country. Altogether 132 polypore species were found or (a few) documented from herbarium collections. Special attention was paid to those beetles that visit or inhabit polypores, either to consume their spores and mycelium, or living in polypore basidiocarps at larval stages. Beetle species compositions and their occurrences as larvae versus imagines differed according to the characteristics of polypore basidiomata. Four kinds (life cycles) of basidiomata were separated: ephemeral, annual sturdy, annual hibernating, and perennial. The selective effect of these life cycles over attracted beetles is extensively discussed with numerous examples. Parallels were found between the insects living in decayed wood versus mushrooms: while beetles of the ephemeral polypore hosts follow in their biology the "mushroom" pathway (pupating in soil debris), those living in perennial basidiocarps follow the "wood" pathway in both consuming the fungus and in pupating inside the decaying basidiocarp. The paper includes complete lists of polypores and polypore-linked beetles found in the study area. A number of wood-inhabiting fungi of other groups are listed, including observations of their beetle fauna. Also more theoretical aspects of the fungus-beetle interaction are discussed.

“…Although pileate in most cases, it develops sometimes fully resupinate basidiomes, reminding of the recently described P. balsamina Niemelä et Y.C. Dai (Niemelä et al 2004). Also, the amyloidity of hyphae or cystidia is quite variable.…”

“…This recently described, Nordic species differs from P. lowei microscopically by having broader basidiospores, measuring 4.3-5.6 × 2.3-2.9 μm, and fusiform cystidia in the hymenium. It is closely related to P. balsamea, showing reputedly slightly larger basidiospores and mostly resupinate basidiomes with a gelatinous subiculum (Niemelä et al 2004).…”

In an attempt to settle the systematic position of Pilát's species Leptoporus lowei (currently Postia lowei), which is sometimes incorrectly interpreted in mycological literature, a study of rich type material deposited in the mycological herbarium of the National Museum, Prague (PRM) was undertaken. Detailed description of macroscopic and microscopic features is presented together with molecular characterisation. The most important macroscopic and microscopic features differentiating P. lowei from similar or related species are discussed. Phylogenetic analysis clearly demonstrated that P. lowei is a well-separated taxon with closest affinity to P. leucomallella and P. tephroleuca.
