KOUKOL O., HALASŮ V., JANOŠÍK L., MLČOCH P., POLHORSKÝ A., ŠANDOVÁ M., ZÍBAROVÁ L. (2020): Citizen science facilitates phylogenetic placement of old species of non-lichenised Pezizomycotina based on newly collected material.   [ITS rDNA barcode, phenotype, taxonomy, Dothideomycetes, Leotiomycetes, Sordariomycetes.]  Czech Mycology 72(2): 263-280   (published: 16th December, 2020)   Electronic supplement
  abstract   During the informal Spring Micromyco 2019 meeting, we tested how newly obtained molecular barcodes of common or poorly known saprotrophic microfungi from more or less targeted collections may be useful for identification and taxonomic studies. Our aim was to obtain DNA sequences of fungi enabling their phylogenetic placement and routine identification in the future using molecular barcoding. As a result, DNA of four species was sequenced for the first time, among them Leptosphaeria acuta, for which a new synonym L. urticae is proposed. The new combination Koorchaloma melaloma is proposed for a species previously known as Volutella melaloma and its new synonym is K. europaea. This species is accommodated in the Stachybotryaceae. A detailed phenotypic description and phylogenetic placement are provided for Mytilinidion insulare, a resurrected species hitherto considered a later synonym of M. gemmigenum. Chalara insignis was placed in the Helotiales without any clear relationship to other members of this order. For another two helotialean species, a second referencing sequence was obtained. Our study showed that for some microfungi, due to the fundamental lack of molecular data, even a single molecular barcode may provide novel and important information on their phylogenetic and taxonomic placement. The results also illustrate that scientific progress can be made through collaboration between academic and amateur mycologists.

SUKOVÁ M., CHLEBICKI A. (2004): Fungi on Juncus trifidus in the Czech Republic (II) with taxonomical notes to some species.   [Ascochyta, dark septate endophyte (DSE), Pseudoseptoria, Pycnothyrium, Septoria, Stagonospora, Unguicularia]  Czech Mycology 56(3-4): 203-221   (published: 22nd December, 2004)
  abstract   In this second contribution, other eight species of ascomycetes and anamorphic fungi on Juncus trifidus collected in the Czech Republic are described (Ascochyta junci, Lachnum diminutum, Phaeosphaeria vagans, Phialocephalasp., Pseudoseptoria sp., Pycnothyrium junci, Stagonosporajunciseda, Unguicularia sp.). Additional localities of Arthrinium cuspidatum and Niptera eriophori described in the first contribution are given. A fungus previously published as Septoria sp. was identified as Septoria chanousiana. Additional material of some fungi (Ascochyta junci, Septoria chanousiana, S. minuta, Unguicularia millepunctata) from other substrata and countries was studied with the aim to compare it with material from Juncus trifidus from the Czech Republic. Numbers of fungi on Juncus trifidus at studied localities are discussed.

RÉBLOVÁ M., GAMS W. (1999): Teleomorph-anamorph connections in Ascomycetes. 1. Cylindrotrichum and Cacumisporium anamorphs of Chaetosphaeria.   [Ascomycetes, Chaetosphaeria, culture studies, wood-inhabiting fungi, systematics]  Czech Mycology 51(1): 1-40   (published: 29th January, 1999)
  abstract   The teleomorph-anamorph connections of Chaetosphaeria are discussed. On the basis of there vision of the type and other herbarium material, Zignoëlla crustacea, Lasiosphaeria britzelmayri subsp. fennica, Sphaeria decastyla and Melanomma macrosporum proved to be members of Chaetosphaeria. The new combinations Chaetosphaeria crustacea, Chaet. fennica and Chaet. decastyla, are proposed, Melanomma macrosporum is included in the synonymy of the latter. Chaetosphaeria crustacea has an anamorph intermediate between Chloridium and Cylindrotrichum, Chaetosphaeriafennica has a Chloridium-like anamorph, and Chaetosphaeria decastyla has Cacumisporium capitulatum as its anamorph. Two new species, Chaetosphaeria tulasneorum associated with the anamorph Cylindrotrichum oligospermum and Chaetosphaeria acutata associated with a Cylindrotrichum anamorph, are described. The teleomorph-anamorph connections of all accepted Chaetosphaeria species, except for Chaet. fennica, were confirmed by culture studies. Chaetosphaeria abietis and Chaet. fusi for mis are also considered, and the connection with the Chloridium cylindrosporum anamorph of the latter is confirmed by culture studies for the first time. The genus Cylindrotrichum and its relationship to Chloridium and other related genera is discussed. A key to the species of Chaetosphaeria with Cylindrotrichum and Cacumisporium anamorphs is provided.

RÉBLOVÁ M. (1998): Revision of three Melanomma species described by L. Fuckel.   [Ascomycotina, Lasiosphaeriaceae, Chaetosphaeria, Custingophora, systematics]  Czech Mycology 50(3): 161-179   (published: 16th May, 1998)
  abstract   Fuckel introduced the genus Melanomma for non-stromatic pyrenomycetes possessing both hyaline and dark coloured ascospores. Two out of five species having hyaline ascospores have been transferred to Chaetosphaeria. The present paper deals with the remaining three species, viz. Melanomma aterrima, M. conica and M. papillata. Examination of their type and other materialandculturestudies haveshownthat Melanomma aterrima is another species belonging to the genus Chaetosphaeria associated with a Custingophora anamorph. A new combination, Chaetosphaeria aterrima comb, nov., is proposed. Melanomma conica and M. papillata are regarded as conspecific with Chaetosphaeria ovoidea and C. pulviscula, respectively. Ascospore culture of C. pulviscula produced Menispora caesia and synanamorph similar to Phialophora sp. Type and recent material of Melanommafallax and Chaetosphaeria glauca have also been studied. Bothspeciesareidenticalwith Chaetosphaeriaovoideaandareincludedinitssynonymy. Chaetosphaeria aterrima, C. pulviscula and C. ovoidea are listed with their full synonymy and notes on their previous descriptions and illustrations.

  abstract   Revision of the type and other herbarium material of seven species previously placed in Chaetosphaeria Tul. et C. Tul. revealed that they need to be transferred to modern genera. Two new species, Calonectria rajasthanensis sp. nov. and Eriosphaeria subtomentosa sp. nov. are described and a new combination, Pseudotrichia xanthotricha (Berk, et Broome) comb. nov. is proposed. Four synonymous names are mentioned under other species names: Chaetosphaeria patelliformis Rick is identified with Byssosphaeria rhodomphala (Berk.) Cooke and Chaetosphaeria africana Saccas, Chaetosphaeria coffeae Saccas and Chaetosphaeria rehmiana (P. Henn.) Kirschst. are identified with Melanochaeta hemipsila (Berk, et Broome) E. Mull., Harr et Sulmont.

LYTVYNENKO YU.I., HAYOVA V.P., AKULOV O.YU., DZHAGAN V.V., ROMANOVA D.A. (2022): An update on the occurrence of the Sporormiaceae (Pleosporales) in Ukraine.   [coprophilous fungi, distribution, morphology, Preussia, Sporormia, Sporormiella.]  Czech Mycology 74(2): 195-226   (published: 12th December, 2022)
  abstract   The article provides an update on the dung-inhabiting members of the Sporormiaceae in Ukraine. Overall, 26 species of Sporormia and the Preussia/Sporormiella species complex have been recorded in the country to date. Based on examination of specimens collected in 2007–2020, we report one species of Sporormia (S. fimetaria), two of Preussia s. str. (P. fleischhakii, P. funiculata) and 11 of Sporormiella (S. affinis, S. commutata, S. grandispora, S. heptamera, S. kansensis, S. leporina, S. longisporopsis, S. megalospora, S. muskokensis, S. octomera and S. pulchella). Of these, the genus Sporormia and four species of the other genera (P. fleischhakii, S. affinis, S. commutata and S. longisporopsis) are newly recorded in Ukraine. For all fourteen species, their morphological characters are described, illustrated and discussed; occurrence records, habitat and distribution data are also provided. This study extends the distribution ranges of these fungi eastwards within Europe and contributes to their substrate list.

  abstract   During a mycofloristic survey of selected localities in the Czech Republic and Croatia, several species of the classes Sordariomycetes and Dothideomycetes were found. These collections represent new records for the country or for Europe. The following species are characterised, illustrated and discussed: Montagnula cirsii, Paradiaporthe artemisiae (first collections for the Czech Republic), Jahnula sangamonensis (first published collection for Europe) and Thyronectria pistaciae (first collection for Croatia).

DELGADO G., KOUKOL O., HEREDIA G., PIEPENBRING M. (2020): Texas microfungi: Hermatomyces amphisporus (Pleosporales, Dothideomycetes) revisited.   [anamorphic ascomycete, phylogenetic placement, saprobic, taxonomy, genotypic variability, Hermatomyces bauhiniae.]  Czech Mycology 72(1): 95-107   (published: 22nd June, 2020)
  abstract   The pleosporalean anamorph Hermatomyces amphisporus is recorded for the first time from the U.S.A. based on several specimens collected on Sabal minor (Arecaceae) during mycological surveys carried out in the state of Texas. Phylogenetic analyses of novel DNA sequence data belonging to four nuclear regions (ITS rDNA, EF1-α, RBP2, β-TUB) revealed its taxonomic position within the monotypic family Hermatomycetaceae (Pleosporales, Dothideomycetes) in congruence with its morphological features. A description of the fungus in culture is provided here for the first time. Interestingly, apart from the lenticular conidia, also cylindrical conidia were formed together with chlamydosporous structures and pycnidia producing hyaline, nonseptate conidia. Further notes on the morphology on natural substrate, ecology and distribution in the U.S.A. and worldwide of this rare fungus are provided. The recently introduced species H. bauhiniae, which presents morphological characteristics different from the typical Hermatomyces spp., is found to be based on a confusing description, thus a different genus should be found to accommodate it.

JAMALI S. (2020): First report of Paraconiothyrium fuckelii (Didymosphaeriaceae, Pleosporales), causing stem canker of Rosa hybrida, from Iran.   [Dothideomycetes, fungal disease, internal transcribed spacers, Iran mycobiota, pathogenicity.]  Czech Mycology 72(1): 71-82   (published: 29th May, 2020)
  abstract   In spring 2016, stem canker symptoms were observed on most Rosa hybrida plants in greenhouses of Kermanshah Province in Western Iran. Initial symptoms of the disease were brown necrotic lesions, mostly 8–10 mm long, on stems. The lesions eventually depressed and expanded to a long ellipse, resulting in yellowing and wilting of the foliage. Fungal colonies resembling those of Paraconiothyrium species were obtained from diseased tissues. Based on morphological and DNA sequence analysis of the internal transcribed spacers ITS1 and ITS2 and the 5.8S gene the fungal isolates were identified as Paraconiothyrium fuckelii. This is the first report of stem canker disease caused by this species in Iran. Pathogenicity tests were carried out on potted Rosa hybrida plants and detached branches under controlled conditions. Pathogenicity tests demonstrated that the fungus is able to infect and cause canker symptoms on inoculated branches of healthy plants after four weeks. The pathogen was re-isolated from all inoculated plants after observation of the symptoms, thus meeting Koch’s postulates.

(2019): New record of Aureobasidium mangrovei from plant debris in the Sultanate of Oman.   [Ascomycota, Dothideales, ITS, LSU, morphology, physiological characteristics, saprotroph.]  Czech Mycology 71(2): 219-229   (published: 19th December, 2019)
  abstract   Aureobasidium mangrovei was isolated from plant debris in Muscat, Sultanate of Oman. The isolate was characterised and compared with related species of this genus for its growth, colony morphology, and micromorphology. Molecular analysis of the LSU and ITS rDNA supported final identification of the isolate. Our record is the second find in the world and the first in the Sultanate of Oman. DNA sequences of the isolated strain showed 99% (ITS) and 100% (LSU) similarity, respectively, with the sequences of the type isolates from Iran, as well as similar growth and colony morphology. A complete microscopic characterisation, which was not described for the Iranian strain, was made. The Iranian strains were isolated from saline habitats of the protected Hara forests, while our strain was isolated from the leaves of freshwater habitats. A comparison of growth characteristics of both strains under different conditions is provided.

NOVOTNÝ D., LUKÁŠ J., BROŽOVÁ J., RŮŽIČKOVÁ P. (2019): Comparison of the occurrence of fungi causing postharvest diseases of apples grown in organic and integrated production systems in orchards in the Czech Republic.   [Malus domestica, organic production, integrated production, Neofabraea, Penicillium.]  Czech Mycology 71(1): 99-121   (published: 28th June, 2019)
  abstract   During the years 2013–2015, the occurrence of fungi causing postharvest diseases of apples was evaluated in three apple orchards with integrated and organic production systems in the Czech Republic. The postharvest disease fungi were more frequently recorded in fruits from organically cultivated apple trees (average 29.97%) than those from integrated production (17.67%). This difference is statistically significant. Neofabraea, Penicillium, Alternaria and a sterile grey mycelium were the most frequently recorded taxa in apples grown in organic and integrated production systems. There were also significant differences in the frequency of occurrence of the most frequent fungal taxa between years. In 2013 and 2014, Neofabraea was the most frequently isolated genus in both cultivation systems, whereas in 2015, Penicillium was the most frequently recorded genus also in both cultivation systems, which was likely caused by the low precipitation in the 2015 growing season.

ABDEL-SATER M.A., MOUBASHER A.H., SOLIMAN Z.S.M. (2016): Diversity of filamentous and yeast fungi in soil of citrus and grapevine plantations in the Assiut region, Egypt.   [Mycobiota, biodiversity, phenotypic and biochemical characterisation, ITS sequence, Coniochaeta canina, Aspergillus stella-maris]  Czech Mycology 68(2): 183-214   (published: 20th December, 2016)
  abstract   An extensive survey of soil mycobiota on citrus and grapevine plantations in Sahel-Saleem City, Assiut Governorate, Egypt was carried out using the dilution-plate method and 2 isolation media at 25 °C. Sixty-four genera and 195 species of filamentous fungi and 10 genera and 13 species of yeasts were recovered. A higher diversity (number of genera and species) and gross total counts were recovered from citrus than from grapevine soil. The peak of filamentous fungi recovered from both soils was found to be in February. Aspergillus (45 species) was the most dominant genus; A. ochraceus predominated in citrus plantations, while A. niger and A. aculeatus in grapevine. The Penicillium count came second after Aspergillus in citrus (23 species) and after Aspergillus and Fusarium in grapevine (11 species).Penicillium citrinum, P. ochrochloron and P. olsonii were more common in citrus plantations, but they were replaced by P. oxalicum in grapevine soil. Fusarium (19 species) was represented in 88.9–100% of both soils on both media; F. solani predominated in both soils, while F. incarnatum came next in citrus, and F. babinda and F. oxysporum in grapevine. Humicola (3 species) with the dominant H. fuscoatra was recorded in 61.1–83.3% of soil of both plantations, while Talaromyces (with T. purpureogenus followed by T. pinophilus being the most common) was recorded in 83.3–100% on DRBC and 38.9–50% on DYM from the soil of plantations of both crops. Volutella (5 species) was common in citrus but missing from grapevine soil. The present study reveals that hyaline fungi predominated over dark-coloured ones. Yeasts comprised only minor proportions in both soils (maximum 0.5%). They showed their peak in the soil of citrus plantations in April and in grapevine in February. All species were recovered in one or two samples only. Diutina catenulata, Debaryomyces hansenii, Galactomyces (3 species), Hanseniaspora occidentalis, Kluyveromyces marxianus, Meyerozyma caribbica, and Schwanniomyces pseudopolymorphus were encountered in citrus only, while Cryptococcus laurentii, Pichia kudriavzevii, Meyerozyma guilliermondii and Rhodotorula sp. in grapevine only. Physiological and growth characteristics were obtained for most of the recovered yeasts.

PARVEEN S., WANI A.H., BHAT M.Y., KOKA J.A. (2016): Biological control of postharvest fungal rots of rosaceous fruits using microbial antagonists and plant extracts - a review.   [biological control, postharvest diseases, microbial pesticides, rosaceous fruits]  Czech Mycology 68(1): 41-66   (published: 1st February, 2016)
  abstract   This article aims to give a comprehensive review on the use of microbial antagonists (fungi and bacteria), botanicals and compost extracts as biocontrol agents against different pathogenic fungi causing postharvest fungal rots in rosaceous fruits which shows that they can play an important role in the biomanagement of fungi causing rot diseases. Plant extracts reported in the literature against pathogenic fungi indicate that they can act as a good biological resource for producing safe biofungicides. However most of the work has been done under experimental conditions rather than field conditions. There is still a need for research to develop suitable formulations of biofungicides from these microbial biocontrol agents and plant extracts. The review reveals that extensive ecological research is also required in order to achieve optimum utilisation of biological resources to manage various postharvest diseases of fruits.

HOLEC J., KŘÍŽ M., POUZAR Z., ŠANDOVÁ M. (2015): Boubínský prales virgin forest, a Central European refugium of boreal-montane and old-growth forest fungi.   [Mt. Boubín, Bohemian Forest, Czech Republic, Basidiomycota, Ascomycota, diversity, ecology, distribution]  Czech Mycology 67(2): 157-226   (published: 10th September, 2015)
  abstract   Boubínský prales virgin forest is the best-preserved montane Picea-Fagus-Abies forest in the Czech Republic. Its core area (46.67 ha), grown with original montane forest never cut nor managed by foresters, has been protected since 1858. It represents the centre of the present-day nature reserve (685.87 ha). A detailed inventory of its fungal diversity was carried out in 2013–2014. Ten segments differing in habitat and naturalness were studied (235 ha). The total number of species was 659, with the centre of diversity in the core area (503 species) followed by the neighbouring segments grown by natural forests minimally influenced by man. When literature and herbarium data are added, the total diversity reaches a total of 792 taxa. The locality represents a unique refugium for some borealmontane fungi (e.g. Amylocystis lapponica, Laurilia sulcata, Pholiota subochracea), a high number of rare species preferring old-growth forests (Antrodia crassa, A. sitchensis, Baeospora myriadophylla, Chrysomphalina chrysophylla, Fomitopsis rosea, Ionomidotis irregularis, Junghuhnia collabens, Skeletocutis odora, S. stellae, Tatraea dumbirensis), wood-inhabiting and mycorrhizal fungi confined to Abies (Panellus violaceofulvus, Phellinus pouzarii, Pseudoplectania melaena, Lactarius albocarneus), and a high number of indicators of well-preserved Fagus forests (e.g.Climacodon septentrionalis, Flammulaster limulatus, Pholiota squarrosoides). Several very rare fungi are present, e.g. Chromosera cyanophylla, Cystoderma subvinaceum and Pseudorhizina sphaerospora. The value of the local mycobiota is further emphasised by the high number of protected and Red List species. Comparison with other Central European old-growth forests has confirmed that Boubínský prales is a mycological hotspot of European importance.

Abstracts of the International Symposium „Fungi of Central European Old-Growth Forests“.  Czech Mycology 67(1): 95-118   (published: 18th June, 2015)
  abstract   Held on the occasion of the 50th anniversary of the autonomous Mycological Department, National Museum, Prague (herbarium PRM, formerly a part of PR herbarium). The symposium takes place in Český Krumlov (south Bohemia, Czech Republic), a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and former residence of the aristocrat Schwarzenberg family who declared the famous Boubínský virgin forest a protected site in 1858. Two days of presentations are followed by excursions to the nearby Boubínský and Žofínský virgin forests, the best-preserved old-growth forests in the Czech Republic. The abstracts are arranged in alphabetical order according to the surname of the first (presenting) author.

ABDEL-HAFEZ S.I.I., ABO-ELYOUSR K.A.M., ABDEL-RAHIM I.R. (2015): Leaf surface and endophytic fungi associated with onion leaves and their antagonistic activity against Alternaria porri.   [phyllosphere, phylloplane, endophytes, purple blotch disease, antagonism]  Czech Mycology 67(1): 1-22   (published: 10th April, 2015)
  abstract   Sixty-eight fungal species belonging to 29 genera were isolated as leaf surface and endophytic fungi from healthy and purple blotch diseased onion leaves. The fungal populations associated with diseased onion leaves (1.360 × 103 CFU/g leaf in the phyllosphere, 2.614 CFU/leaf segment in the phylloplane and 1.324 CFU/leaf segment in the surface-sterilised diseased leaves) were higher than those in healthy samples (0.804 × 103 CFU in the phyllosphere, 1.184 CFU in the phylloplane, and 0.35 CFU as endophytes). Endophytic fungi of healthy leaves were represented by 12 genera and 15 species, while fungi of surface-sterilised diseased leaves included 17 species from 13 genera. The mycobiota associated with surface-sterilised diseased leaves were different from the endophytic fungi of healthy samples, whereas the disease may stimulate colonisation of opportunistic fungi causing secondary infections such as Botrytis cinerea, Penicillium aurantiogriseum, Alternaria alternata and Cladosporium spp. In contrast, healthy leaves were a source of antagonistic endophytic fungi such as Trichoderma harzianum and T. koningii. Testing the antagonistic effect of 91 fungal isolates against Alternaria porri showed that nine isolates of Trichoderma produced the highest suppressive potential (73.1%) depending on competition and mycoparasitism. Epicoccum nigrum and Penicillium oxalicum exhibited antibiosis against A. porri producing a 12 mm broad inhibition zone. In conclusion, the quantitative and qualitative compositions of fungi associated with onion leaves were distinctly influenced by A. porri infection. Mycobiota associated with asymptomatic onion leaves such as Epicoccum nigrum, Penicillium oxalicum and Trichoderma harzianum are a natural source of eco-friendly bioagents. They showed an effective antagonistic potential against A. porri, and may thus be applied as an alternative to fungicides.

GANNIBAL P.B., KAZARTSEV I.A. (2013): Development of a PCR assay for amplification of mating-type loci of Alternaria spp. and related fungi.   [population genetics, recombination, Ulocladium]  Czech Mycology 65(1): 69-78   (published: 10th June, 2013)
  abstract   A large number of ascomycete anamorphs including Alternaria spp. are considered asexual, but carry structurally conserved genes in a mating-type locus (MAT1) with two alternate idiomorphs, MAT1-1 and MAT1-2. Since the locus has lost its main function in many species, different directions of natural selection acting on the idiomorphs can be observed. Thus identification of mating types can be used in population biology studies. Also analysis of MAT1 locus sequences is needed for evolution and phylogeny reconstruction. Eighteen primers from previous works and this study were assessed for their ability to amplify MAT1 in 25 Alternaria and 7 Ulocladium, Embellisia and Alternariaster species. The most suitable primer pairs for 6 sections of Alternaria and several Ulocladium species were revealed.

GMINDER A. (2012): Studies in the genus Mollisia s.l. III: Revision of some species of Mollisia and Tapesia described by J. Velenovský (part 2).   [Ascomycota, Helotiales, Dermateaceae, Mollisioideae, type studies]  Czech Mycology 64(2): 105-126   (published: 7th December, 2012)
  abstract   The author presents the results of his revision of several mollisioid species described by J. Velenovský. Three of these are considered good species and are combined into Mollisia: M. dimorpha comb. nov., M. lentiformis comb. nov., and M. urnigera comb. nov. Tapesia aurantiaca and T. exigua are viewed as nomina dubia. The genus Crustula is lectotypified here by C. quercina and proved to be a later synonym of Mollisia.

RAVIKUMAR M., SRIDHAR K.R., SIVAKUMAR T., KARAMCHAND K.S., SIVAKUMAR N., VELLAIYAN R. (2009): Diversity of filamentous fungi on coastal woody debris after tsunami on the southeast coast of India.   [tsunami, Bay of Bengal, southeast coast of India, woody litter, fungal diversity]  Czech Mycology 61(1): 107-115   (published: 29th September, 2009)
  abstract   Five coastal locations on the southeast coast of India severely disturbed after the tsunami on December 26, 2004 were surveyed for the occurrence of filamentous fungi on woody debris by means of short-term (1 month) and long-term (12 months) damp incubation. Short-term incubation revealed 26 mitosporic fungi (8 genera) ranging from 14 to 17 taxa per location with a total frequency of occurrence between 0.4 and 5.6 %. Aspergillus taxa were dominant and six of them were common to all locations.Long-term incubation yielded 35 fungi (25 genera) (22 ascomycetes, 1 basidiomycete and 12 mitosporic fungi). The total fungal taxa per location ranged from 25 to 28 with a total frequency of occurrence of 0.8 to 46.8 %. Corollospora gracilis was the most dominant ascomycete (46.8 %), while Cirrenalia tropicalis and Dictyosporium pelagicum dominated among mitosporic fungi (18 %). The total frequency of occurrence of 11 ascomycetes and four mitosporic fungi was above 10 %. Twelve ascomycetes and two mitosporic fungi were common to all locations. The richness of fungi was higher after long-term than short-term incubation. The occurrence of 61 fungal taxa in this study suggests that the tsunami-dumped woody litter on the southeast coast of India might have at least partially originated from the ocean, thus representing a mosaic of fungi existing in seawater and sediments.

JOHNOVÁ M. (2009): Diversity and ecology of selected lignicolous Ascomycetes in the Bohemian Switzerland National Park (Czech Republic).   [ascomycetes, lignicolous pyrenomycetes, biodiversity, ecology, endangered species]  Czech Mycology 61(1): 81-97   (published: 29th September, 2009)
  abstract   Lignicolous pyrenomycetes, their anamorphs and asexually reproducing Ascomycetes were investigated on deciduous and coniferous wood at 10 localities of the Bohemian Switzerland National Park (České Švýcarsko in Czech) during 2003–2005. A total number of 109 species was recorded, 11 species were found both as teleomorph and anamorph. Individual localities were evaluated from the viewpoint of Ascomycetes diversity. Ecological demands, relationship with the type of substratum, and microhabitat preferences were noted and several ecological groups are suggested. Rare and endangered species and factors affecting Ascomycetes diversity are discussed. Several species new to the Czech Republic were recorded, viz. Apiorhynchostoma altipetum, Camarops pugillus, Crassochaeta fusispora, Lophiotrema boreale, and Togniniella acerosa.

KAUTMANOVÁ I., KAUTMAN V. (2006): Cordyceps rouxii (Ascomycetes, Clavicipitales) in Slovakia and Czech Republic, with notes to distribution, ecology and taxonomy.   [Cordyceps capitata, Cordyceps longisegmentis, epitype]  Czech Mycology 58(3-4): 173-188   (published: 29th December, 2006)
  abstract   Cordyceps rouxii, a new species for Slovakia and Czech Republic was recorded in 2004. Revision of herbarium collections revealed that this species has been often misidentified as C. capitata and is more common than was expected. After revision of the type material the authors propose an epitype based on a Slovak collection.

Colloquium „Fungi as Model Organisms in Research and Biotechnology - III“ Olomouc, Czech Republic, 2 September 2005.  Czech Mycology 57(3-4): 307-323   (published: 10th February, 2006)
  abstract   The colloquium was a continuation of the previous scientific meetings that took place in Olomouc in 1999 and 2002 (Czech Mycology 52: 139-178, 2000 and 55: 103-149, 2003). It was organised by the Commission for Experimental Mycology of the Czechoslovak Microbiological Society and the Czech Scientific Society for Mycology together with the Institute of Biology, Faculty of Medicine of Palacký University, Olomouc. The aim of the colloquium was to provide a platform for a broad discussion on experimental mycology in all branches of basic and applied research. Besides two plenary lectures, 8 short communications and 8 posters were presented. In total 32 researchers from the Czech and Slovak Republics took part in the colloquium and discussed various topics important for the further development of experimental mycology. Abstracts of the contributions are given here.

CHLEBICKI A. (2005): Some species of the genus Diatrype from the Czech Republic preserved in PRM, BRNM and KRAM.   [Diatrype, distribution, taxonomy, Bohemia, Moravia]  Czech Mycology 57(1-2): 117-138   (published: 31st August, 2005)
  abstract   This paper is a preliminary note on fungi from the genus Diatrype collected in the Czech Republic: Diatrypebullata, D.disciformis, D.decorticata, D.flavovirens, D.stigma, D.subaffixavar.rappazii and D. undulata. Two species, D. undulata and D. subaffixa, have so far not been reported from the Czech Republic. The most interesting appeared to be a collection of Diatrype from Loranthus europaeus temporarily included in Diatrype disciformis.

HOLEC J. (2005): Distribution and ecology of Camarops tubulina (Ascomycetes, Boliniaceae) in the Czech Republic and remarks on its European distribution.   [fungi, pyrenomycetes, Camarops tubulina, natural forests, virgin forests, bioindicator]  Czech Mycology 57(1-2): 97-115   (published: 31st August, 2005)
  abstract   Camarops tubulina is a remarkable pyrenomycete included in the Red Book and protected by law in the Czech Republic. Until 1995, 8 localities were known. Due to intensive searching in the period 1996 - spring 2005, the species is currently known from 66 localities (94finds). Its stromata mostly occur on old, fallen, decaying trunks of Picea and Abies, rarely of Fagus, especially in virgin forests or minimally influenced natural forests, but rarely also on old, decaying trunks lying in man-made forests. Most frequent habitats are submontane herb-rich beech forests with a dmixture of Abies and Picea, mixed mountainous forests composed of Fagus, Picea and Abies, natural spruce forests of the supramontane belt and bog spruce forests surrounding mountain peat bogs. The species also occurs in lowlands, but at sites with climatic inversion such as stream valleys, small canyons and gorges. An analysis of its habitats showed that the most important conditions necessary for its occurrence are the existence of more or less natural forest stands with presence of fallen, decaying trunks of Picea, Abies orFagus (or, rarely, presence of such trunks in man-made forests) and a stable, humid and cool microclimate, best ensured by a closed forest stand. From the point of view of nature conservation, Camaropstubulina is an important bioindicator of natural forest ecosystems. The Czech Republic represents the richest area of its occurrence in Europe, where the species is currently known from north­ern and central part. Distribution maps for the Czech Republic and Europe are provided.

VAŠUTOVÁ M. (2004): Macromycetes of permanent plots in cultural forests in the Moravskoslezské Beskydy Mts. and Vsetínské vrchy hills (Czech Republic).   [Czech Republic, macromycetes, cultural beech and spruce forests, mycocoenology, permanent plots, ecology]  Czech Mycology 56(3-4): 259-289   (published: 22nd December, 2004)
  abstract   The mycoflora of cultural (artificial and managed subnatural) forests (i.e. beech, spruce and mixed forests) was studied in 18 permanent plots in the Moravskoslezské Beskydy Mts. and the adjacent part of the Vsetínské vrchy hills (Czech Republic) during they ears 1998-2000. Al together, 314 species of macromycetes were recorded. The highest number of species was recorded in plots in a young spruce forest on a former meadow (72 species ) and a waterlogged spruce forest (67 species ). Mycorrhizal fungi were the dominant group in older spruce forests (44.2 %), waterlogged spruce forests (43.3 %) and alder forest (45.6 %). A high percentage of terrestrial saprophytes was found in the young forest on a former meadow (43 %). Generally, common species prevailed.The main factor which influenced the species composition of all trophic groups was the composition of the tree layer. These results are compared with results from similar plots in the Czech Republic and neighbouring countries.

SUKOVÁ M. (2004): Fungi on Juncus trifidus in the Czech Republic. I.   [Ascomycetes, anamorphic fungi, Hysteronaevia minutissima, Hysteropezizelladiminuens, Mycosphaerella perexigua var. minima, Naeviella paradoxa, Septoria, taxonomy, ecology]  Czech Mycology 56(1-2): 63-84   (published: 12th August, 2004)
  abstract   Fungi on Juncus trifidus were collected and studied during they ears 1998-2003, most intensively in 2002. Almost all known localities of this relict plant in the Czech Republic were visited. In this first contribution, 14 species of ascomycetes and anamorphic fungi are mentioned. Populations of Juncus trifidus in the Sudetes and Hercynian mountains are small in comparison with populations in the Alps and Carpathians. However, three species of arcto-alpine fungi (Hysteronaevia minutissima, Hysteropezizella diminuens, Naeviella paradoxa) and Lachnum roseum have been found there as new records for the Czech Republic. The richest localities of fungi on Juncus trifidus are Mt. Sněžka (Krkonoše Mts., Sudetes) and Jezerní stěna rock wall in the cirque of Černé jezero lake (Šumava Mts., Hercynicum).

  abstract   The Czech isolate of Cerebella sp. was confirmed as C. and ropogonis, as its RAPD patterns were identical to those of Australian and African isolate of this species. Also, rDNA (ITS1-5.8S-ITS2) sequences of African C. and ropogonis and the Czech isolate (AJ306620 and AJ400905) were identical except for a single transition A-G at position 47 of ITS1. Comparison of these quence with databases yielded 24 closely related sequences with 96.5-98.9 % identity to Cerebella. The highest similarity was found between Cerebella and Epicoccum nigrum/ Phoma epicoccina isolates, two other related groups were : Phoma herbarum, P. medicaginis, Phomopsis sp., and P. glomerata/Ampelomyces sp.

  abstract   Complete sequences of 18S rDNA of seven strains of Tetracladium were determined. The following species were included: T. apiense, T. furcatum, T. maxilliforme, T. setigerum (one strain each) and T. marchalianum (3 strains). Sequence homology among the 7 strains was >98%. The closest published match (NCBI database) to the Telracladium sequences is one by Bulgaria inquinans (homology 95-96%). Phylogenetic analysis placed the Tetracladium complex in the vicinity of the Ascomycete orders Onygenales, Erysiphales and Leotiales.

MOSTAFA M.E., ZOHRI A.A., KOTBY R.S. (2001): Lipid, sterol and ergosterol accumulation in isolates of dematiaceous Hyphomycetes.   [Lipid, sterol, ergosterol, dematiaceous hyphomycetes]  Czech Mycology 53(2): 149-159   (published: 20th February, 2002)
  abstract   Mycelial dry weight, lipid and sterol contents of fungi tested varied with fungalgenus, species and even with isolate of one species. Their dry mass fluctuated between lll.6±l0.7-457.0±41.5 mg/50 ml medium. Lipids, sterols and ergosterol accumulated by the isolates tested ranged from 4.52±0.5-29.04±2.76%, 1.23±0.16-10.63±l.24% and 0.43±0.057-7.13±0.695% of their dry mass, respectively. Cochliobolus spicifer isolate No. 35 was the highest lipid-producer while Ulocladium atrum No. 90 proved to be superior in the production of sterols and ergosterol. TLC technique and chemical analysis of lipid classes produced by U. atrium No. 90 revealed that the lipid fractions are composed of free sterols, free fatty acids, sterol esters, glycolipids, phospholipids and squalene.

PARMASTO E. (2001): Hymenochaete cruenta and H. sphaericola, two sibling species of Hymenochaetales (Hymenomycetes, Basidiomycota).   [Hymenomycetes, Hymenochaete cruenta, Hymenochaete sphaericola, taxo­nomy, distribution]  Czech Mycology 52(4): 307-315   (published: 5th March, 2001)
  abstract   Hymenochaete cruenta (syn.: H. mougeotii) has been considered a widely spread species in Eurasia and Australasia inhabiting both coniferous and angiospermic trees or bushes. A similar species, H. murashkinskyi was described by A. Pilát from Southern Siberia and later found also in the Russian Far East and China on Rhododendron spp. Study of herbarium specimens demonstrated that there are two closely related species with partly overlapping areas of distribution: H. cruenta on Abies (and other conifers?) in Eurasia, and H. sphaericola (syn.: H. murashkinskyi) on Rhododendron, Quercus and some other angiospermic trees in East, South-East and South Asia and Australasia.

GHERBAWY Y.A.M.H., ABDELZAHER H.M.A. (1999): Isolation of fungi from tomato rhizosphere and evaluation of the effect of some fungicides and biological agents on the production of cellulase enzymes by Nectria haematococca and Pythium ultimum var. ultimum.   [Biologicalcontrol, root-rot, fungicides Nectria haematococca, Pythium ultimum var. ultimum]  Czech Mycology 51(2-3): 157-170   (published: 25th May, 1999)
  abstract   Forty-five species and two species varieties belonging to twenty-six genera of fungi were isolated from 30 soil samples from the rhizosphere of tomato plants. The fungi most frequently isolated were Aspergillus flavus, A.fumigatus, A. niger, A. terreus, Gibberella fujikuroi, Nectria haematococca and Rhizopus stolonifer. Ridomil and Vitavax-captan (10, 50 and 100ppm) had no significant effects on the activity of Cl and Cₓ enzymes of Nectria haematococca. Cₓ enzyme activity was slightly increased at 10 and 50ppm, but slightly decreased at 100ppm. Vitavax-captan (10, 50 and 100ppm) significantly decreased Cl enzyme activities of N. haematococca. Cₓ enzyme activity was slightly increased at 10 and 50ppm, but at 100 ppm it showed a slightly inhibitory effect. Ridomil caused a slight increase in the activity of Cₓ and Cl enzymes by Pythium ultimum var. ultimum at low and moderate doses but the highest dose of Ridomil caused a slight reduction. Vitavax-captan slightly increased the activity of Cₓ and Cl enzymes in P. ultimum var. ultimum. Normal and sterilised filtrates of Myrothecium verrucaria, Penicillium oxalicum and Trichoderma harzianum induced a small decrease in Cl enzyme activity of Nectria haematococca. The sterilised filtrates of the three fungi tested caused greater inhibition compared to the normal filtrate. The production of Cₓ enzyme was slightly increased with normal and sterilised filtrates of Penicillium oxalicum and Trichoderma harzianum, but was significantly increased by both types of filtrates of Myrothecium verrucaria. The two types of filtrate of all fungi tested did not significantly affect the activity of Cl and Cₓ enzymes by lithium ultimum var. ultimum. Production of extracellular protein by Nectria haematococca was not significantly affected by any dose of the tested fungi cides. It was slightly increased by the two types of filtrate of the three tested fungi but significantly increased by the normal filtrate of Myrothecium verrucaria. The normal filtrate of all the fungi tested enhanced extracellular protein production to a greater extent than the sterilised filtrate. Extracellular proteins of Pythium ultimum var. ultimum were slightly increased by all doses of Vitavax-captan and low doses only of Ridomil, also two types of filtrate of all tested fungi caused a slightly increasing effect.

  abstract   The paper deals with the nomenclatural status of 30 species of the genus Russula Pers. and 4 species of Lactarius S. F. Gray. These are results of a study carried out by the author during preparation of the book “Pilzflora der Deutschen Demokratischen Republik“ (1987, ed. H. Kreisel) and completed in 1986, i.e., after the manuscript was submitted for printing. Therefore, correct names of some species could not be included in the book (not even in its appendix) and are first published in this paper. The revision of the nomenclature was carried out with respect to the application and interpretation of the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature (ICBN) adopted at the International Botanical Congress in Sydney, 1981. The paper introduces one new species Russula acetolens S. Rauschert, spec. nova, and one new combination Russula sanguinaria (Schum.) S. Rauschert, comb. nova.

  abstract   Based on specimens coming mostly from Central Europe, the group of species closely related to Hypoxylon serpens (Pers.: Fr.) J. Kickx fil. is newly classified with emphasis on microscopic characters. The Hypoxylon serpens-complex is separated from Hypoxylon Bull. and classified as a genus of its own, Nemania S. F. Gray in a considerably changed circumscription. Eight species are newly transferred to Nemania. One species is described as new: Nemania carbonacea Pouz. spec. nov. and the problem of N. atropurpurea (Fr.) Pouz. is discussed in detail.

  abstract   Vararia granulosa (Fr.) Laurila is a name which cannot be applied to the fungus for which it is now commonly used. Fries (1838, 1874) considered the element representing our Vararia only a marginal part of his broad concept of Grandinia granulosa (Pers. ex Fr.) Fr. As there is no legitimate name for the fungus in question, Vararia borealis Pouz. spec. nov. is proposed for it here.

  abstract   A new species of lignicolous Hyphomycetes, Hyphodiscosia europaea Hol.-Jech. et Borowska, collected on decaying wood and bark in Czechoslovakia and Poland is described and illustrated. Taxonomical investigations of the microfungi inhabiting bark and wood of decaying trunks and stumps in Czechoslovakia and Poland have revealed the presence of one undescribed species of dematiaceous Hyphomycetes which is classified here in Hyphodiscosia Lodha et Chandra Reddy. This genus was recently described (Lodha and Chandra Reddy 1974) as monotypic with H. jaipurensis Lodha et Chandra Reddy, growing on bark of dead wood collected near Jaipur in Rajasthan (India). The characteristic features of Hyphodiscosia are polyblastic conidiogenous cells producing subcylindrical, dorsiventral and 1-septate conidia with two lateral appendages (setulae), arising on the ventral side of the conidium. The species found differs from H. jaipurensis in having 1–3 septate conidia, with a seta on the apical end and a second one in the middle of the ventral side of the basal cell of the conidium. A further difference is in the conidiophores; their conidiogenous parts proliferate successively and sympodially and do not terminate in a swollen conidiogenous apex as in H. jaipurensis. These differences are sufficient to separate this fungus as a new species for which the name Hyphodiscosia europaea is proposed.

HILBER R., HILBER O. (1980): Notizen zur Gattung Camarops (Boliniaceae).  Česká Mykologie 34(3): 123-151   (published: 1980)
  abstract   In the presented paper the genus Camarops P. Karst., emended by Nannfeldt, is introduced. Since there are some contrasting characters within this genus, Camarops is divided into 3 subgenera: Camarops (type C. hypoxyloides P. Karst.), Camarops subgen. Bolinia (Nke.) [type C. tubulina (Alb. et Schw. ex Fr.) Shear], and Camarops subgen. Peridoxylon (Shear) [type C. petersii (Berk. et Curt.) Nannf.]. Based on herbarium and partly fresh material, four European species of this genus are described, discussed, and illustrated: Camarops polysperma, C. tubulina, C. microspora, and C. petersii. C. tubulina and C. microspora were also studied in culture.

POUZAR Z. (1979): Notes on taxonomy and nomenclature of Nummularia (Pyrenomycetes).  Česká Mykologie 33(4): 207-219   (published: 1979)
  abstract   The generic name Nummularia L.—R. et C. Tul. 1863 being a later homonym of Nummularia Hill 1756 should be replaced by the name Biscogniauxia O. Kuntze. The genus should be emended to include not only the majority of species in the sense of Miller (1961) but also species of the Hypoxylon nummularium (Bull. ex St.-Amans) Fr. group. A new species Biscogniauxia simplicior Pouz. spec. nov. is described which differs from B. repanda (Fr. ex J. C. Schmidt) O. Kuntze by simple (unilateral) germ slits of ascospores — the last species having double (bilateral) slits.

  abstract   Twelve species of the order Xylariales were studied in pure culture. Their morphology during growth and the effect of temperature on growth rates were observed. Conidial stages were recorded in ten species, three of them for the first time in culture. The study emphasizes the usefulness of culture studies in clarifying life cycles and taxonomy of stromatic Pyrenomycetes.
