“…As oak is said to have entered Britain and Ireland from a common source, utilizing land-bridges present at the time (Mitchell, 2006), it might be expected that their macrofungal communities would share many commonalities with that of European Atlantic oak forests. Co-migration of host and symbiont has already been identified in many studies examining ECM biogeography in North and South America (Halling, 2001;Halling & al., 2008). This research was part of a larger project (FUNCTIO -NALBIO project, Bolger & al., 2009) investigating the diversity of soil decomposers and predatory and parasitic arthropods in Irish forests.…”

The oak species Quercus petraea and Q. robur are dominant canopy tree species of native deciduous forests in Ireland and coastal regions of Western Europe. These forests are typically plant species-rich, and can also have a rich fungal flora. This survey examined macrofungi found in five native oak sites across Ireland over three years. Overall, 94 macrofungal species belonging to 39 genera were discovered with Mycena, Lactarius, Russula and Cortinarius the most species-rich genera. The species accumulation curve did not show signs of levelling off, indicating that more sampling would reveal more new species. Species richness estimation using the Chao2 estimator indicated that up to 135 species may be present across all of our plots, with individual plots receiving estimates from 19 to 61 species per plot. Sampled-based rarefaction analysis showed no significant differences in macrofungal species richness between our plots. The five most common species were Laccaria amethystina, L. laccata, Stereum hirsutum, Armillaria mellea and Cortinarius flexipes. Comparisons of the results with results from oak forests in similar regions found that the communities in Great Britain were most similar to those found in Ireland. There were some key oak forest distinguishing fungal species from the family Boletaceae lacking from Irish oak forests. It is hypothesised that the historic deforestation of Ireland, caused a reduction of suitable habitats for Irish oak associated macrofungi, leading to the unspecific mycota found in the oak forests of this study. The threats to Atlantic oak forests in Ireland are briefly discussed.

“…In this respect they do not always strictly follow the distribution of their plant symbionts (sensu Halling et al 2007a, Tedersoo et al 2007), which may result in high endemism at the species level due to the specific habitats that they occupy (Henkel 1999, Osmundson et al 2007, Halling et al 2007b, Fulgenzi et al 2008, Henkel et al 2011.…”

Ectomycorrhizal (ECM) species are poorly known from tropical lowlands of South America. Recent systematic surveys in the reserve Parque Estadual das Dunas do Natal, in the state of Rio Grande do Norte, Brazil, using a purposive sampling approach revealed new and yet undocumented community of ectomycorrhizal fungi in the reserve. Collections made in areas with a ectotrophic tree genera present next to the established walking paths revealed six genera of putative ECM fungi. These fungi belong to the Basidiomycota family Amanitaceae, Boletaceae, Hymenochaetaceae, Russulaceae and Sclerodermataceae, all of which are poorly documented from Brazil. The study contributed to the fungal diversity in an ectotrophic sand dune forest in the northeast Brazil, necessary for better understanding of the role of these organisms and their impact in the ecosystem. Discoveries opened additional questionings about the distribution, ecology and taxonomy of the ectomycorrhizal genera in tropical moist broadleaf forests.

“…Assessment of genetic diversity and geographical variation of populations also help in better understanding of natural formation of postglacial European biodiversity as well as modern invasions of the species. The geographical distribution of dNA-types has been used to determine diversification areas and historical migration of fungal germplasm (Kerrigan, 1995;WU et al, 2000;rUbini et al, 2005;geMl et al, 2008;Halling et al, 2008).…”

Genetic diversity of some Lithuanian populations of Suillus bovinus was assessed basing on nucleotide sequence of ITS1 and 2 regions, and the 5.8S RNA gene obtained from 42 samples. Four haplotypes were defined, each representing isolate groups of varying abundance and distribution. The most abundant and widely distributed was haplotype 2. All Lithuanian haplotypes nested in one, the largest clade of European isolates of S. bovinus.
