Three new species, E. citrinopapillatus , E. pusillus , and E. roseoviolaceus are introduced and verified by morphology and sequence data from ITS, nuclear LSU, mitochondrial SSU, and β-tubulin. A lectotype for Elaphomyces granulatus is select...

... There are roe deer Capreolus capreolus, moose Alces alces and scattered populations of red deer Cervus elaphus in both regions. The mycoflora of the regions is not thoroughly characterized, but epigeous macrofungi are abundant, and recent studies have demonstrated that a diverse array of hypogeous truffles occur at high frequencies throughout Norway (Molia et al. 2020, Norwegian Biodiversity Information Center 2023. ...
Wild boar Sus scrofa is increasing in numbers and extending its distribution across Europe and is difficult to control due to high reproductive potential. Dietary quality is a main determinant of wild boar population dynamics, and the extent to which they rely on human‐provided food provide a key to limit their distribution. Yet, we lack data on wild boar diet from northern Europe. Here we use DNA‐metabarcoding of faecal samples (n = 50) to determine wild boar diet during fall and winter in Norway. We mainly aimed to quantify the extent to which wild boar relies on natural or human‐provided food sources. A secondary aim was to determine whether diet varies with individual characteristics (sex, age or weight), season (winter or fall), and between the two regions with wild boar in Norway. We found a high degree of diet variability between individuals. Individuals consuming high amounts of edible fungi consumed low amounts of plant material. The (heavier) male wild boars consumed 50% more human provided food than the (lighter) female wild boars. There was no clear effect of age, season (winter versus fall), or region on diet with the sample size available. The negative correlation between plants and fungi in each sample suggests that using multiple primers targeting different taxa can provide quantitative diet information, and points to an important role of fungi (truffles) during winter and fall. The large individual variation in diet may reflect opportunistic feeding tactics in Scandinavian boreal forests, driven by a lack of acorns and few crops. Our study has relevance for understanding limitations of wild boars at their northern distribution range in Europe, and thus also provides important information for management.
... Datasets for macrofungal genera representing multiple phyla and orders were assembled according to recent taxonomy and the availability of relevant sequence data. These datasets represent Agaricales (Hebeloma [36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46], Laccaria [47,48], and Marasmius), Boletales (Suillus [49]), Russulales (Russula, Stereum [50]), Polyporales (Trametes [51]), Thelephorales (Sarcodon), Cantharellales (Hydnum), Pezizales (Morchella) and Eurotiales (Elaphomyces [52,53]) ( Figure 2). The assignation of nrITS sequences to species followed the conclusions made by the authors or the conclusions of the referenced taxonomic studies. ...
The nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (nrITS) region has been widely used in fungal diversity studies. Environmental metabarcoding has increased the importance of the fungal DNA barcode in documenting fungal diversity and distribution. The DNA barcode gap is seen as the difference between intra- and inter-specific pairwise distances in a DNA barcode. The current understanding of the barcode gap in macrofungi is limited, inhibiting the development of best practices in applying the nrITS region toward research on fungal diversity. This study examined the barcode gap using 5146 sequences representing 717 species of macrofungi from eleven genera, eight orders and two phyla in datasets assembled by taxonomic experts. Intra- and inter-specific pairwise distances were measured from sequence and phylogenetic data. The results demonstrate that barcode gaps are influenced by differences in intra- and inter-specific variance in pairwise distances. In terms of DNA barcode behavior, variance is greater in the ITS1 than ITS2, and variance is greater in both relative to the combined nrITS region. Due to the difference in variance, the barcode gaps in the ITS2 region are greater than in the ITS1. Additionally, the taxonomic approach of “splitting” taxa into numerous taxonomic units produces greater barcode gaps when compared to “lumping”. The results show variability in the barcode gaps between fungal taxa, demonstrating a need to understand the accuracy of DNA barcoding in quantifying species richness. For taxonomic studies, variability in nrITS sequence data supports the application of multiple molecular markers to corroborate the taxonomic and systematic delineation of species.

Pseudotulostoma is a genus described for fungi with stipitate sporocarps that have an exposed gleba and a woody, volvate base. The two species that belong to this genus (P. volvatum and P. japonicum) form unusual epigeous ascomata that are atypical among the hypogeous members of the Elaphomycetaceae. The genus was first described from the Guiana Shield and was suggested to be restricted to rainforests dominated by the ectomycorrhizal tree Dicymbe corymbosa (Leguminosae-Detarioideae). Pseudotulostoma volvatum was also later described from Colombia in association with Pseudomonotes tropenbosii (Dipterocarpaceae- Monotoidea). Here we report a new occurrence of P. volvatum that is also the first occurrence of an ectomycorrhizal Ascomycota fungus in a native host plant in Brazil. The description includes images of the macroscopic and microscopic characteristics, a discussion of the distinctive features, and phylogenetic placement using the nLSU of this fungus among Elaphomyces species. This new collection (third known location) demonstrates that P. volvatum also occurs in a white-sand forest composed of the canopy tree Aldina heterophylla (Leguminosae-Papilionoideae). Thus, we provide additional information regarding P. volvatum that expands its known distribution.

Elaphomyces readii is presented as a new species to science based on morphological and molecular evidence. The new species is characterized mainly by the pale brown rugose ascomata, yellowish to reddish brown hues in the proximity to the gleba, dark purple gleba and ascospores 20-57 µm in diameter. Elaphomyces readii is morphologically similar to E. papillatus and E. muricatus but differs in the ascospore size and phylogenetical location. Further, E. readii is sold in traditional markets in the state of Oaxaca, southeastern Mexico as a medicinal fungus consumed to heal wounds, internal bleeding, and external injuries by the "Ñuu Savi" or Mixtec people. This species is dedicated, as “readii”, in honor to Professor Sir David J. Read, eminent mycologist, Emeritus Professor of the University of Sheffield, England, Secretary of the Royal Society (London) and a giant scientist in the study of the mycorrhizal symbioses (like the giant spores of the new species, averaging 52.33 µm in diameter), with more than 55 years of experience contributing to the understanding of the ecophysiology of mycorrhizal symbioses, and was knighted in 2007 by the Queen of England for his outstanding scientific contributions. Morphological descriptions, SEM ornamentation spores and nrITS-based phylogenetic analysis using maximum parsimony, maximum likelihood method and Bayesian inference support the proposal of this new species.
