“…The findings of our study appear to be represented a re-encounter of Phallus merulinus 93 years after its first record in Thailand. Both the macroscopic and microscopic features of our specimens agree well with previous descriptions [ 18 , 34 , 36 ]. The molecular phylogenetic trees revealed that four sequences of P. merulinus were related to P. atrovolvatus .…”

Phallus chiangmaiensis sp. nov. and a Record of P. merulinus in Thailand

During the rainy season in Thailand, specimens of Phallus chiangmaiensis sp. nov. and P. merulinus were collected from Chiang Mai and Samut Sakhon Provinces, respectively. Molecular phylogenetic analyses based on sequences of the nuclear ribosomal large subunit (LSU), nuclear ribosomal 5.8S gene including the internal transcribed spacer regions 1 and 2 (ITS), and the protein-coding gene atp6 (mitochondrial adenosine triphosphate [ATP] synthase subunit 6) support the placement of the new species within Phallus. Phallus chiangmaiensis has a well-developed white indusium and campanulated caps with reticulate surfaces. It differs morphologically from the related species, as supported by the phylogenetic data. Phallus merulinus is reported here as a species that was re-encountered in Thailand. The descriptions of the species are accompanied by illustrations of macro-and micro-morphological features, and a discussion of the related taxa is presented.

“…Although reports on the macrofungi in these scrub jungles are scanty, available reports from the west coast of India reveal occurrence of different groups of macrofungi (agarics, jelly fungi, polypores, puffballs, cup fungi, stinkhorns, xylarias and ectomycorrhizas) on different substrates (leaf/bark/woody litter, stubs, standing dead trees, soil and termite mounds) (Karun and Sridhar 2013, 2014a, 2014b; Sridhar & Karun 2013; Ghate et al 2014; Ghate & Sridhar 2015a, 2015b; Pavithra et al 2015). Some macrofungi occur in scrub jungles are edible (e.g.…”

Impact of fire on the macrofungal diversity in scrub jungles of south-west India

Fortnightly survey in control and fire-impacted regions of scrub jungle of south-west coast of India during south-west monsoon (50 m2 quadrats up to 10 weeks) yielded 34 and 25 species of macrofungi, respectively. The species as well as sporocarp richness were the highest during the fourth week, while the diversity attained the highest during the second week in control region. In fire-impacted region, the species and sporocarp richness and diversity peaked at sixth week. Seven species common to both regions were Chlorophyllum molybdites, Lepiota sp., Leucocoprinus birnbaumii, Marasmius sp. 3, Polyporus sp., Schizophyllum commune and Tetrapyrgos nigripes. The overall sporocarp richness was higher in fire-impacted than in control region. The Jaccard’s similarity between regions was 13.5%, while fortnights of regions ranged from 0% (10th week) to 11.7% (eighth week). Control region showed single-species dominance by Xylaria hypoxylon, while multispecies dominance by Cyathus striatus and Lentinus squarrosulus in fire-impacted region. Except for air temperature, nine abiotic factors significantly differed between control and fire-impacted regions. The Pearson correlation was positive between species richness and phosphorus content in fire-impacted region (r = 0.696), while sporocarp richness was negatively correlated with pH in control region (r = −0.640). Economically viable species were 12 and 10 without overlap in control and fire-impacted regions, respectively.

“…The fungi are also key functional components of forest ecosystems [1]. In order to preserve the macrofungal gene pool in situ, there is necessityto conserve old growth forests through sustainable approach which is endowed with ample quantity of diverse detritus suitable for fungal existence and perpetuation [42] and Hollongapar Gibbon Wildlife Sanctuary is also one of them.…”

This research paper represents for the first time an updated list of stinkhorn family, Phallaceae, in Hollongapar Gibbon Wildlife Sanctuary, Jorhat, Assam, India. There are seven species of stinkhorns naturally present in the study area. A description of all the species is given along with images of fruiting bodies of the fungi and their microstructures; information on the ecology and general distribution and data on the literature have been documented. The seven species of stinkhorns were found in and around area of the sanctuary which include Phallus indusiatus, Phallus duplicatus, Phallus cinnabarinus, Phallus merulinus, Phallus atrovolvatus, Mutinus bambusinus, and Clathrus delicatus.
