Rare species of Lepiota and other genera

Abstract

The paper presents 47 fungi species belonging to the genera <em>Cystolepiota, Echinoderma, Lepiota, Leucoagaricus, Leucocoprinus, Macrolepiota</em> and <em>Melanophyllum</em>, found in Poland, which have been not reported earlier from this area (18 species: <em>Cystolepiota fumosifolia, C. moelleri, C. petasiformis, Echinoderma carinii, E. pseudoasperula, Lepiota angustispora, L. apatelia, L. cingulum, L. cortinarius var. audreae, L. cristata var. felinoides, L. forquignonii, L. rubella, Leucoagaricus cinerascenss, L. ionidicolor, L. sericifer var. sericellatus, Macrolepiota heimii, M. rhodosperma var. rhodosperma, M. venenata</em>) or have been known only from a few localities. For the species new to Poland short descriptions, based on the specimens examined and literature data, are given and their micromorphological characters are illustrated.

Greenhouses of botanical gardens as a habitat of alien and native macrofungi: a case study in Poland

“…Our finding is its fifth documented record in Poland; earlier the species was reported from an urban park, forest patch among fields, a roadside, and a mixed forest [24,51].…”

“…First recorded in Poland in 2009 [24]. In the greenhouse investigated in this study it was first recorded in 2010, and reported in the cited study.…”

“…In greenhouses of Polish botanical gardens, 28 fungal taxa were recorded before this study, both native and introduced from warmer regions ( Table 1). A few published reports, about single species, come from commercial greenhouses [24] and from abandoned greenhouses [25].…”

New species of Cystolepiota from China

“…Cystolepiota species are generally saprotrophic, pileus less than 50 mm in diameter, and basdiocarp heavily covered by granules on the pileus and stipe. The edge of the pileus is often appendiculate; an annulus is present but often becomes an annular zone at the stipe; the spore print is white (Vellinga 2004a; Bau and Liu 2010; Gierczyk et al 2011). Species of Cystolepiota are very similar to Melanophyllum haematospermum (Bull.…”

“…Presently, more than 10 Cystolepiota species have been identified and they have been well characterized in Europe and Western North America (Hausknecht and Pidlich-Aigner 2004; Vellinga 2004b, 2006, 2007; Gierczyk et al 2011). The most complete phylogenetic study of Cystolepiota was conducted by Vellinga (2007).…”
