“…It is evident from the above discussion that the oak communities of Irish Atlantic oak forests are also difficult to clearly delimit; and therefore we agree with previous research which states that the macrofungal community of oak forests contains few clearly distinctive elements (Tyler, 1992;Wilkins & al., 1937;Watling, 1974Watling, , 2005a. One species that can unanimously be described as typical of Atlantic oak forests, and oak forests in general is Lactarius quietus; being found with oak species across Europe (Heilmann-Clausen & al., 1998). Other species such as Laccaria laccata, Laccaria amethystina, Stereum hirsutum and Xylaria hypoxylon are all common in oak forests in Ireland, Britain, Northern Spain and France; however they are also common with many other deciduous and coniferous trees (Legon & Henrici, 2005).…”

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.

“…Lactarius trivialis (Fr.) Fr., which has been reported from the GYE (McKnight 1982), but could not be confirmed, is typically larger with slightly larger basidiospores (7.3-10 × 5.9-7.8 µm), more numerous pleuromacrocystidia, and a mild to acidic-fruity odor (Heilmann-Clausen et al 1998).…”

“…Lactarius glyciosmus is very closely related to L. mammosus Fr. (Figure 2A), however, the latter has a browner pileus, stouter stature, and ecology with Pinaceae (although it has been reported with Betula) (Heilmann-Clausen et al 1998). Lactarius vietus (Fr.)…”

New reports, phylogenetic analysis, and a key to Lactarius Pers. in the Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem informed by molecular data

The Greater Yellowstone Ecosystem (GYE), located in the Central Rocky Mountains of western North America, is one of the largest nearly intact temperate-zone ecosystems on Earth. Here, Lactarius is an important component of ectomycorrhizal communities in many habitat types, from low elevation riparian areas to high elevation conifer forests and alpine tundra. Molecular phylogenetic analyses of ITS and RPB2 gene sequences along with detailed morphological examination confirm at least 20 Lactarius species, as well as three varieties, and one unresolved species group in the GYE. Eight taxa are reported from the GYE for the first time, and nearly every major ectomycorrhizal host plant in the GYE appears to have at least one Lactarius species associated with it. Broad intercontinental distributions are suggested for alpine Salix and Betula associates, and for certain subalpine Picea and aspen (Populus spp.) associates. Some species appear to be restricted to western North America with Pinus, Pseudotsuga or Abies. The distribution and/or host affinities of others is not clear due in part to ambiguous host assignment, taxonomic problems or the relative rarity with which they have been reported. Key words
