The Gottesacker (“God’s acre”) in Herrnhut (Upper Lusatia, Saxony) has been a graveyard for almost 300 years. G. Zschieschang has mapped its fungal community since the 1960ies. Combining these findings and those of other mycologists, mycological data that cover about 55 years are reported here. In this context, we discuss the fungal biodiversity with special emphasis on CHEGD species (Clavariaceae-Hygrocybe-Entoloma-Geoglossaceae-Dermoloma). These species are used to classify and assess the conservation value of grasslands by monitoring their fungal communities. According to the determined CHEGD profile, the Gottesacker graveyard is ranked as a grassland of international importance. In addition, we present macroscopic and microscopic characteristics of two rare CHEGD species: Entoloma brunneosericeum and Clavaria messapica. These are the first records of both species for Germany and Saxony, respectively.

The paper presents the results of several years of mycological studies carried out in Poland, in the Western Sudety Mountains (the Karkonosze, Kaczawskie, Izera, and Rudawy Janowickie mountains), Western Sudety Foothills (the Izerskie and Kaczawskie Foothills), and adjacent regions, such as the Jelenia Góra Valley, Lubawska Gate, and Sudety Foreland (the Niemczańsko-Strzelińskie Hills). During the study, the presence of 985 fungal taxa (species, varieties, and forms) was recorded; of these, 66 had hitherto not been observed in Poland.
... DNA fragments encompassing the ITS region and the D1-D2 domains of the 28S gene were amplified using the following primer combinations: ITS5/LR6, or ITS1/ITS4 and LR0R/LR6 in cases of difficult amplification (White et al. 1990;Moncalvo et al. 2000). The polymerase chain reaction (PCR) profile for primers ITS5/LR6 was as follows: touchdown PCR initiated with a 2-min denaturation at 94 C, annealing temperature for first amplification cycle 60 C, subsequently incrementally reduced by 1 C per cycle for the next 9 cycles, followed by 36 amplification cycles each consisting of 30 s denaturation at 94 C, 30 s annealing at 50 C, and 1 min extension at 72 C, concluding with 10 min incubation at 72 C. PCR regimes using other primer combinations followed the protocols of Kučera et al. (2014b). Amplicons of the domain 6-7 region of the second largest subunit of RNA polymerase II (RPB2) were obtained using primers fRPB2-5F (Liu et al. 1999) and RPB2-P7R (Hansen et al. 2005), following protocols outlined by Hansen et al. (2005). ...

Four new species of the Ascomycete genus Microglossum are recognized, based on morphological characters and DNA sequences of nuc rDNA (ITS region and 28S gene) and the second largest subunit of RNA polymerase II (RPB2). They differ from Microglossum nudipes by the color of the ascocarps and the sizes and shapes of ascospores, asci, and paraphyses. A lectotype is proposed, and an emended description is provided for M. nudipes. Descriptions of new species Microglossum clavatum, M. truncatum, M. pretense, and M. tenebrosum are provided. Other closely related species in the group of green earth tongues include Microglossum viride, M. rickii, and M. griseoviride. An identification key to green Microglossum species is presented.
... Lungo le sponde di uno di questi, soprattutto nella parte bassa, vicino all'acqua corrente, è stato raccolto un gran numero di sporofori di un ascomicete, poi determinato come Microglossum griseoviride V. Kučera, Lizoň & M. Tomšovský. L'importanza del ritrovamento di tale taxon risiede nel fatto che questa rappresenta la prima segnalazione su tutto il territorio nazionale, avvenuta a solo un anno di distanza dalla sua istituzione come nuova specie [Kučera et al., 2014a]; la specie morfologicamente più simile, dalla quale M. griseoviride è stato differenziato su base molecolare, è M. viride (Pers. : Fr.) Gillet. ...

Research on grassland fungi in Slovakia has resulted in the delimitation and description
of a new taxon of Microglossum, M. parvisporum. This species grows on calcareous soil
among grass in association with Crataegus, Rosa canina and Prunus spinosa. It is characterized
by mature ascomata that are whitish-green with a naked stipe, short spores, and
paraphyses with inflated green tips. Analyses of sequences (ITS and LSU rRNA genes) are
presented and discussed in comparison with similar species, Microglossum olivaceum, M.
rufescens and M. nudipes.
Faisant suite à un travail d'inventaire qui s'est étalé sur treize années en région Midi-Pyrénées, notamment dans le cadre institutionnel d'un Conservatoire botanique national, nous présentons ici un certain nombre d'observations pour la plupart inédites. Ces données concernent 8 taxons nouveaux pour la science, 47 taxons nouveaux pour la France, 287 taxons nouveaux pour la région Midi-Pyrénées, ainsi que 56 taxons qui avaient déjà été mentionnés dans la région, mais dont les données présentent un intérêt particulier. Pour chacun d'entre eux sont fournies les localités et dates de récoltes, des données écologiques et les références d'herbier disponibles. Pour un certain nombre, un commentaire d'ordre chorologique, écologique ou taxonomique est ajouté. Des photographies de récoltes, la plupart in situ, de 52 taxons rarement illustrés sont publiées. Abstract.-Following a thirteen year long period of survey in the Midi-Pyrénées southwestern region of France, especially in the institutional framework of a National Botanical Conservatory, we present a number of mostly unpublished observations. These data refer to eight taxa new to science, 47 new to France, 287 new to the Midi-Pyrénées region and 56 taxa that had already been reported from the region, but of particular interest. For each of them, are provided localities and dates of observation, ecological data and herbarium references. For some, chorological, ecological or taxonomic observations are added. Pictures of rarely illustrated taxa, mostly in situ, are published for 52 of them.
Microglossum is a genus of bright colored earth tongues with hyaline ascospores. Although relatively common in the North Hemisphere, there are very few collections of this genus in South America. In Brazil, one species is recognized: Microglossum rickii, which belongs to the scaly-stipitate group. However, we have now identified three additional species, based on fresh and herbarium specimens of this genus in Brazil that do not match any known species. Therefore, we are describing them as new species: Microglossum azeurum, characterized by bright blue ascomata and found in Southern Brazil, sister to an unnamed Microglossum species from Chile, and M. sourellae and M. popovkinii, both featuring pale yellow ascomata and distributed in Midwestern Brazil, with M. popovkinii extending also to Northeastern Brazil, retrieved as sister to Microglossum macrosporum clade.
The tropical montane cloud forest is the most diverse and threatened vegetation type in Mexico. In the last decade, the number of described Ascomycetes species has notably increased, reaching more than 1300 species. This study describes six new species based on their molecular and morphological characteristics. Our results suggest that Mexico has the highest number of described species in the Neotropics. However, many other Mexican lineages still need to be described.
The fungal genus Sabuloglossum (earth tongues) was originally described as a monotypic genus based on the species Geoglossum (Microglossum) arenarium. It typically occupies sandy coastal habitats and forms mycorrhizas with Empetrum nigrum (Ericaceae). While studying material from central Europe (Czech Republic, Slovakia, Austria, and Germany), ascomata morphologically very similar to S. arenarium were observed. They were ecologically limited to mid-altitudinal mountainous habitats and associated with Calluna vulgaris or Vaccinium sp. pl. (Ericaceae). The relationship to S. arenarium and related genera was evaluated using a combination of genetic (nrITS1–5.8S–ITS2 and the 28S nrLSU regions) and comparative morphological analysis. Macro- and micromorphological investigations revealed that mountain populations differ from typical S. arenarium in longer apical cells of paraphyses, more frequently septated ascospores, and the presence of inflated cells in the stipe squamules. In phylogenetic analyses, mountain populations appeared in sister position to S. arenarium in a strongly supported clade. According to these morphological and genetic analyses, in addition to ecological and host-type specificities, the mountain populations from central Europe are proposed here as a distinct species, S. monticola sp. nov. Our study indicates that the speciation of S. monticola may have been driven predominantly by a shift in ecology and mycorrhizal association.
