Data from morphology, phylogenetics, genetic clustering, species delimitation methods, biogeography and ecology have been used to evaluate species boundaries within the Battarrea phalloides-stevenii complex.
Evidences suggest the existence of three to four independent lineages that may constitute new species for science. Despite no further attempts...

Aim. The monitoring of known as well as the search for new localities of rare and protected species is a requirement for Red Data Books and conservation efforts as a whole. The aim of this paper is to describe the finding of basidiomycete fungus Battarrea phalloides , a rare and protected species in the Republic of Dagestan, and to discuss features of its phylogenetic diversity, distribution and ecology.
Material and Methods. Primary identification of the material was carried out by light microscopy. Phylogenetic analysis was performed based on the Maximum Likelihood method.
Results. New locality of B. phalloides has been revealed in Gunibsky district of the Republic of Dagestan. A detailed description of macro‐ and micromorphology of the collected basidioma, as well as peculiarities of new ecotope occupied by the species is presented. The complete ITS1–5.8S–ITS2 nrDNA sequence has been obtained and deposited in the NCBI GenBank database. In phylogenetic analysis the specimen studied formed a separate clade among other individuals of B. phalloides with different geographical origins.
Conclusion . The new B. phalloides finding recorded in Dagestan allowed us to expand the knowledge on its ecology and distribution, as well as on intraspecific phylogenetic structure of the species red‐listed in the region and little‐known in the Caucasus.

A first review of Gasteroid fungi (Agaricomycetes, Basidiomycota) in Paraguay). Based on the available literature, a list of 40 gasteroid species recorded in Paraguay since the earliest known collection is presented. A total of forty species are reported, distributed among 16 genera and 4 families. This work represents the first compilation of data available on this group of fungi for Paraguay. These numbers reveal the scarce amount of species formally cited for the Paraguayan Funga.

During an extensive survey of macrobasidiomycota and the effects of climate changes on their distribution supported by Alexandria Research Center for Adaptation (ARCA) in Egypt and Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation Fund (MBZ), several specimens collected, examined and preserved. As a result, two species of Tomophagus colossus (Fr.) Murrill (Basidiomycota, Ganodermataceae) and Battarrea phalloides (Dicks.) Pers. (Basidiomycota, Agaricaceae) were identified and recorded as new records. Both taxa were identified phenotypically and were subjected to sequencing for confirmation. The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) 1-5.8 s-ITS2 rDNA sequences obtained were compared with those deposited in the GenBank Database and registered with accession number MH796120 and MH796121 in the NCBI Database respectively. We provide an updated full description and illustration of both species.

The three treebuilding methods produced congruent phylogenies with three main clades well supported in all analyses (Figure 2), which is consistent with previous studies (Martin et al. 2013;Garrido-Benavent 2014). The New Zealand B. phalloides is strongly supported as nesting within one of these clades (100% MP BS; 100% ML BS, 1.00 BA PP), which corresponds to Clade A of Martin et al.

The saprotrophic stalked puffball fungus Battarrea phalloides (Agariacaceae) is recorded for the first time in New Zealand, with a collection from Mt Victoria, Wellington. This fungus has been reported from many countries around the world but is typically uncommon in each region and is Red Listed in a number of European countries. Phylogenetic analyses of the ITS region unambiguously placed the New Zealand specimen in one of the three clades within the B. phalloides group, each of which is well-supported but geographically widespread. Among the sample set, the New Zealand specimen was most closely related to a specimen from Spain. The origin of the New Zealand population remains uncertain.

A gasteroid fungi is cited for the first time from the arid and dry regions of the Paraguayan Chaco, Podaxis pistillaris. The distinctive microscopic and macroscopic characteristics are described and photographs related to fresh material are included with comments on the taxonomy and distribution plus ecology.
Recent mycological studies in Sonora, Mexico have mainly focused on tulostomataceous fungi, a group of gasteroid Agaricomycetes with a spore-sac containing pulverulent gleba and a well-defined, hollow stipe. The aim of the present study was to analyze the diversity, morphological variability, and distribution of tulostomateceous fungi, through examining the specimens deposited in the Sonora State University herbarium over 29 years of sampling. Based on 1,266 basidiomes in 621 collections from 75 locations, 23 municipalities, and 16 vegetation types, a total of 7 genera and 37 species were identified. All genera are monospecific in Sonora except Tulostoma, with 31 defined species. Several collections remain undetermined since their morphological traits are intermediate or do not match described species. The distribution of tulostomataceous fungi was related to altitude, precipitation, and climate. Further molecular analysis of undetermined specimens must be performed in order to define the real number of species in this fungal group and to understand the boundaries among closely related genera and species.
Battarrea phalloides (Basidiomycota), a fungus included in many Red Lists worldwide, requires verification of its real conservation status. One of the main problems in the assessment of fungal species is that the categorisation of some fungi does not properly reflect the current risk of extinction. For example, the IUCN risk category of B. phalloides is oscillating in England and unclear in Hungary. In this contribution, an additional and unpublished element of evaluation is provided. In Italy, the presence of B. phalloides in the soils that are sold in hypermarkets and nurseries determines its inclusion among the common fungi contaminating the substrates. The authors conclude that B. phalloides is therefore more common than records suggest and discuss its ranking under the IUCN criteria.
