Taxonomic notes on the Polish Tulostoma species

Abstract

<em>Tulostoma</em> genus Pers.: Pers. is represented in Poland by five species (Wojewoda 2003). Only two of those: <em>Tulostoma brumale</em> Pers.: Pers. and <em>T. fimbriatum</em> Fr. can be considered as a relatively common while others such as: <em>Tulostoma kotlabae</em> Pouzar, <em>T. melanocyclum</em> Bres. and <em>T. squamosum</em> (Gmelin in L.): Pers. are very rare. Observations of macrofungi of xerothermic habitats at the Nida Basin (Central Poland), demonstrated the existance of many varieties of particular taxa until now not listed in the Polish mycological literature, and also new sites of all so far described <em>Tulostoma</em> species. Recording of lower taxa such as: <em>Tulostoma brumale</em> Pers. var. <em>longipes</em> (Czern.) J. E. Wright, <em>T. brumale</em> Pers. var. <em>pallidum</em> (Lloyd) J. E. Wright, and <em>T. fimbriatum</em> Fr. var. campestre (Morgan) Moreno are identified at the study area.

Study of two fungal species of Tulostoma genus encountered for the first time in Morocco: Tulostoma melanocyclum Bres. and Tulostoma kotlabae Pouzar

“…Brumale is characterized by a light colored peristome. By cons, T. melanocyclum presents a peristome surrounded by a brownish aureole (Tomaszewska et al, 2011). This description of peristome is identical to that given to our species, T. melanocyclum ( Figure 1, A (1)).…”

Unexpected high species diversity among European stalked puffballs – a contribution to the phylogeny and taxonomy of the genus Tulostoma (Agaricales)

“…For Asia, Liu (1979), Asai (2004), Asai and Asai (2008), Dörfelt and Bumžaa (1986), Hussain et al (2016), Sesli et al (2000), and others have published survey reports on the occurrence of the genus. In Europe, numerous papers dealing with the genus have been published: Altés et al (1996), Antonín and Kreisel (2008), Calonge (1992Calonge ( , 1998, Calonge et al (2007), Calonge and Martín (1992), Jeppson (2006aJeppson ( ,b, 2008, Kreisel (2004), Kříž (2011), Martín (1990), Martín and Calonge (1994), Moreno et al (1990), Mrazek et al (1995), Sarasini (2003Sarasini ( , 2005, Schubert and Specht (2013a,b), Specht and Schubert (2012), Specht et al (2016), and Tomaszewska et al (2011).…”

Gasteroid fungi – the morphological characteristics of selected endangered and rare species noted in Poland

“…Na podstawie cech makro-i mikromorfologicznych, które zaobserwowano podczas badań terenowych i laboratoryjnych, sporządzono pełne opisy zanotowanych taksonów. Istotne różnice w budowie owocników poszczególnych taksonów wynikają ze stopnia rozwoju i zachowania cech poszczególnych owocników (Tomaszewska et al 2011). Cechy te zacierają się w miarę dojrzewania i starzenia się tych struktur.…”

“…A scrupulous submicroscopic and molecular examination of the structure of 131 similar taxa helps to identify fruit bodies correctly and reduces the risk of determination errors (e.g. Tomaszewska et al 2011).…”
