“…The timing is also good because there are multiple projects in progress that seek to create or update broad classifications of the Fungi. In particular, a tenth edition of the Dictionary is in preparation, as is a fourth edition of an influential textbook of mycology (Alexopoulos et al 1996). The classifications used by GenBank, the Tree of Life Web Project, and Myconet are being revised continuously.…”

The most dramatic shifts in the classification relative to previous works concern the groups that have traditionally been included in the Chytridiomycota and Zygomycota. The Chytridiomycota is retained in a restricted sense, with Blastocladiomycota and Neocallimastigomycota representing segregate phyla of flagellated Fungi. Taxa traditionally placed in Zygomycota are distributed among Glomeromycota and several subphyla incertae sedis, including Mucoromycotina, Entomophthoromycotina, Kickxellomycotina, and Zoopagomycotina. Microsporidia are included in the Fungi, but no further subdivision of the group is proposed. Several genera of 'basal' Fungi of uncertain position are not placed in any higher taxa, including Basidiobolus, Caulochytrium, Olpidium, and Rozella.

“…Four of the 10 bats had positive qPCR results for Pd (Table 1) and two of these also had a pustular, focal dermatitis with intralesional, unidentified ascomycetes. Fungi were identified as ascomycetes based on the presence of septa without clamp connections, the typical morphologic feature distinguishing the group (Alexopoulos et al 1996). Although the monokaryon hyphae of basidiomycetes share this feature, most filamentous fungal infections are caused by ascomycetes and most pathogenic infections associated with basidiomycetes present solely in the single-celled yeast state (de Hoog et al 2000).…”

Big brown bats (Eptesicus fuscus) overwintering outside the underground environment are not believed to play a role in the epidemiology of the disease white-nose syndrome (WNS), caused by the fungus Pseudogymnoascus destructans (Pd). Using quantitative real-time PCR (qPCR), we provide molecular evidence for Pd on four big brown bats overwintering in heated buildings in New Brunswick, Canada. Two of the affected individuals also had very mild, focal, pustular, fungal dermatitis identified microscopically. A third bat, which was qPCR Pd-negative, had similar fungal lesions. Despite determining that these fungal lesions were caused by a suspected ascomycete, the intralesional fungi were not confirmed to be Pd. These findings demonstrate that bats overwintering in heated buildings and other above-ground sites may have subclinical or preclinical WNS, or be contaminated with Pd, and could play a role in local dispersal of Pd. Our inability to determine if the ascomycetes causing pustular lesions were Pd highlights the need for ancillary diagnostic tests, such as in situ hybridization or immunohistochemistry, so that Pd can be detected directly within a lesion. As the host-pathogen relationship for Pd evolves, and where bat species are exposed to the fungus under varying temperature regimes, lesions may become less stereotypic and such tests could help define these changes.

Objectives: Cultivated morels have still not replaced wild morels. Thus, wild-harvested morels are one of the most valuable forest products in the global market. Many researchers have discussed why morels are difficult and expensive to culture and investigated cheaper to grow morels. Material and methods: In this study, we researched optimal living conditions for morels using an artificial inexpensive method. We used different substrates, such as peat, potato crust, rice hulls, wheat, sawdust, and chestnut crust, to produce Morchella presclerotia. Results and Conclusions: We determined mycelial growth using the colony diameter method and Morchella nutrient-primed prepared by using only peat and its mixtures with potato crust, rice hulls, wheat, sawdust and chestnut crust in different ratios after removing the spores. The results show that the pre-sclerotial time was accelerated using cheap substrates and that a sclerotia kit could be developed.
