Diversity and distribution of Finnish aphyllophoroid and heterobasidioid fungi (Basidiomycota): An update

Phytosanitary monitoring of forest stands is currently a relevant and important area of scientific research that ensures observation, assessment, and forecasting of the dynamics (changes) of the quantitative and qualitative (including sanitary) state of forests and underlies the development of an effective system of tree protection. The purpose of this study was to identify the species composition and distribution of dominant phytopathogen species in the Modryna tract of the Zvyagelske Forestry branch and to identify the primary factors of Larix decidua Mill. decline. This study employed phytopathological, entomological, forest inventory, and comparative methods. The study identified and registered typical symptoms of damage and the consequences of the harmful effects of pests of L. decidua trees in the Modryna tract, leading to a general weakening of their sanitary condition. Symptoms of larch needle cast (meria needle blight) and browning were recorded on the needles; on the trunks – typical manifestations of cankers and fruiting bodies of a unique basidiomycete – Lariciphomes officinalis. Apart from infectious pathologies, sporadic wind and storm damaged larch trees, as well as other negative effects of wind exposure, were recorded in the study areas. The species composition of the pests of the surveyed larch trees included the following insect species: Cephalcia lariciphila, Sacchiphantes viridis Ratz., Coleophora laricella, Zeiraphera diniana Gn., Lasiomma laricicola Karl. It was generalised that the main threat to the centuries-old larch trees is the complex effect of anthropogenic, abiotic, and biotic (including parasitic) environmental factors that constantly and to varying degrees affect the sanitary and physiological state of ancient larch trees. The findings of this study provide information for predicting the risks of spreading pathogens and pests, which allows managing these risks and preventing their further spread

“…One of the most numerous and insufficiently examined paraphyletic groups of fungi is aphyllophoroid macromycetes, from the standpoint of modern systematic structures, they are positioned as a set of life forms that unites representatives of the Basidiomycota division of multiple lines of phylogenetic order ( Blinkova & Ivanenko, 2016;Kunttu et al, 2021). This group is a component of the heterotrophic complex of forest ecological systems.…”

The role of aphyllophoroid macromycetes as indicators of forest ecosystem disruption and reducers of biomass accumulation

Aphyllophoroid macromycetes are a key link in natural and artificial biocenoses, in particular, forest ecosystems. Their peculiarity is due to the variety of morphological forms and the ability to colonise various substrates. The establishment of fundamental issues of the biotic organisation of this group of fungi, which considers both their specific features and integration into general ecological patterns, forms the necessary basis for their further research, protection, and practical use (in particular, when indicating and monitoring the state of forest biocenoses). The purpose of the study was to establish the species composition, taxonomic structure, and distribution (by mycohorizons) of aphyllophoroid macromycetes of forest stands in Zhytomyr Polissia. In the course of the study, classical phytopathological and forestry-inventory (biometric) analysis methods were used. Special methods of mycology, in particular, mycoindication, were also used in terms of identifying and examining aphyllophoroid macromycetes. Mycoflora of aphyllophoroid macromycetes of forest stands of Zhytomyr Polissia has 27 species belonging to 17 families, 8 orders of the Agaricomycetes class of the Basidiomycota division and is typical for the European temperate zone. The systematic component of the group under study is represented by the following orders: Polyporales (40.7% of their total number), Hymenochaetales (18.5%), Agaricales (14.8%), Russulales (11.2%), Cantharellales, Thelephorales, Auriculariales, and Gomphales (3.7% each). Analysis of the food structure of aphyllophoroid macromycetes shows that most of the mycoflora is represented by a complex of saproxilotrophic species, to a lesser extent parasite fungus (for example, Inonotus hispidus, Phellinus robustus, Heterobasidion annosum) and humus saprotrophs (Thelephora terrestris) are noted. The distribution of macromycetes by mycohorizons identifies that more than 70% of all finds were located in the subsurface mycohorizon, and the root mycohorizon is characterised by the smallest number of finds and species of macromycetes. There is a gradual decrease in the species diversity of aphyllophoroid macromycetes in the forest edge areas, which demonstrates fundamentally different stages of forest ecosystem degradation processes. The investigation of historical relationships between woody plant species and aphyllophoroid macromycetes, which act as biological indicators of the state of forest ecosystems, will further allow forming the of “maps of disruption of the integrity of forest biocenoses” for the analysis of sanitary risks, which should be implemented in the practice of forest protection

“…The use of these links as an indicator of anthropogenic disturbance of forest ecosystems is a relevant research area since the system "woody plant species -aphyllophoroid macromycetes" combines the processes of weakening and damage to trees, the accumulation of wood fall, and the rate of its decomposition by mycetes into a holistic process that clearly reflects the corresponding characteristics of the forest ecosystem. One of the most numerous and insufficiently examined paraphyletic groups of fungi is aphyllophoroid macromycetes, from the standpoint of modern systematic structures, they are positioned as a set of life forms that unites representatives of the Basidiomycota division of multiple lines of phylogenetic order ( Blinkova & Ivanenko, 2016;Kunttu et al, 2021). This group is a component of the heterotrophic complex of forest ecological systems.…”
