(2016): Fungi and lichens recorded during the Cryptogam Symposium on Natural Beech Forests, Slovakia 2011. [old-growth beech forests, diversity, conservation, indicator, red-list, Europe] Czech Mycology 68(1): 1-40 (published: 1st February, 2016)
abstract
In September 2011, an international team of cryptogam experts visited seven national nature reserves in five mountain areas of Slovakia: Havešová and Stužica in the Poloniny Mts., Vihorlat in the Vihorlatské vrchy Mts., Oblík in the Slanské vrchy Mts., Dobročský prales and Klenovský Vepor in the Veporské vrchy Mts. and Badínsky prales in the Kremnické vrchy Mts. The reserves were selected to represent examples of the best protected old-growth beech forests in the country. The aim was to study the diversity of wood-inhabiting fungi on fallen beech logs and epiphytic lichens on standing beech trees. In total, 215 fungal species and 128 lichens were recorded on beech wood and bark, and 27 fungi and 26 lichens on additional substrates. The site of the highest conservation value is Stužica with 126 fungi and 79 lichens recorded on beech, of which 12 fungi and 19 lichens are indicators of high nature conservation value. Combined with historical records, a total of 19 non-lichenised fungal indicators are now reported from the site, making it the highest ranked natural beech forest in Europe. The second most important reserve for fungal diversity is Havešová with 121 species, including 14 indicator species recorded on beech wood. For lichens, the second most important reserve is Klenovský Vepor with 69 species including 18 lichen indicators recorded on beech. Nine fungus species are here reported as new to Slovakia: Asterostroma medium, Entoloma hispidulum, E. pseudoparasiticum, Gloeohypochnicium analogum, Hohenbuehelia valesiaca, Hymenochaete ulmicola, Hypocrea parmastoi, Melanomma spiniferum and Scutellinia colensoi. Lichen species Alyxoria ochrocheila is reported as new to Slovakia and Lecanographa amylacea, which was considered extinct in the Slovak Red list, was also recorded. This is the first list of wood-inhabiting fungi and epiphytic lichens of old-growth beech forests in Slovakia, and hence an important contribution to the exploration of biodiversity in Slovakia.
SEEGER R. (1995): Vergiftungen durch höhere Pilze (Intoxications by higher fungi.) [Fungal intoxications, muscarine, amatoxins, hallucinogenic fungi, Cortinarius toxins] Czech Mycology 48(2): 97-138 (published: 25th September, 1995)
abstract
Article presents a review of poisonous macrofungi and their toxic constituents concerning chemistry, site and mechanism of action, absorption, fate and excretion of the main toxins and signs, diagnosis, treatment and course of human poisoning. Considered are macrofungi containing 1. Irritants of the gastrointestinal tract with rapid onset of action. 2. Muscarine in Inocybe and Clitocybe species. 3. Toxins affecting the central nervous system, i.e. ibotenic acid resp. muscimol in Amanita muscaria and A. pantherina and hallucinogenic indoles in Psilocybe, Panaeolus und related species. 4. Toxins affecting parenchymatous organs with delayed onset of symptoms, causing mainly liver and/or kidney injury: The cyclopeptides in Amanita phalloides, A. virosa and A. verna and in Galerina and Lepiota species. Gyromitrine resp. methylhydrazine in Gyromitra esculenta. Cortinarius toxins in C. orellanus, C. speciosissimus and related species. 5. Miscellaneous substances, not necessarily toxic per se, e.g. coprin in Coprinus atramentarius which produces disulfiram-like effects when consumed with alcohol. - Intolerance to trehalose in persons with a genetic deficiency of the intestinal enzyme trehalase. - Hypersensitivity reactions to ingested or inhaled antigens of edible mushrooms, e.g. skin and respiratory reactions or even immunohaemolytic reactions complicated by secondary renal failure.
