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.

“…Although fungal plant pathogens represent a significant proportion of invasive species worldwide, and can have huge impact on ecosystems (Desprez-Loustau et al, 2007), few studies have focused on the evolutionary mechanisms that explain their success of invasion (for example Dlugosch and Parker, 2008). In plant invasive species for which evolutionary processes have been intensively studied, multiple introductions could be critical for establishment in the areas of introduction (Novak, 2007;Dlugosch and Parker, 2008).…”

“…Recently, there is an increasing interest in evaluation of potential synergism or antagonism in antimicrobial activity (Al-Bayati, 2008;Endo et al, 2010;Hemaiswarya & Doble, 2009;Moon et al, 2011;Ncube et al, 2012) and antioxidant activity (Romano et al, 2009) of single compounds or mixtures. Evaluation of such synergism in plant extracts between aqueous and volatile compounds has been previously reported by Skotti et al, 2014. Fungal species have diverse impacts on plants, animals, ecosystems and the environment (Chapin et al, 2000;Desprez-Loustau et al, 2007;Hawksworth, 1991) ranging from nutrient recycling, to biotechnology (Adrio & Demain, 2003;Molitoris, 1995) or emerging animal and plant pathogens. Many fungal pathogens cause serious damage to a large number of crops with significant impacts to agricultural economy (Anderson and Zhu, 2004;Oerke, 2006;).…”

In this study, the biological activity of selected Greek medicinal and aromatic plants on the phytopathogenic fungus Alternaria alternata was investigated. Biological activity was screened on crude aqueous extracts and their aqueous phase (ap-pt) after further extraction with petroleum ether. All the Lamiaceae species examined were found to enhance significantly the mycelium growth. Melissa officinalis extracts caused the highest stimulation in mycelium growth, (+109.1%) the ap-pt, and (+51.6%) its crude extract. All ap-pt extracts stimulated conidia production, but Melissa officinalis caused the highest effect (+349.3%). Crude extracts of Salvia officinalis stimulated highly conidial production (+65%) whereas Hyssopus. officinalis and Origanum vulgare inhibited conidia production at 33.3% and 50.0% respectively. The differences in biological activity between crude and ap-pt extracts for each plant species were attributed through the calculation of correspondent synergism ratios (SR) to the interaction between volatile and water -soluble. Rosmarinic acid, detected as the most abundant phenolic compound in all extracts analyzed and found to correlate strongly (R= 0.84) with the stimulation effect on spore production of A. alternata.
