... Collybia fusipes) is an understudied primary fungal pathogen, responsible for causing root rot on a number of economically important tree hosts, mainly oak, across the UK and Europe [1][2][3][4][5][6][7]. G. fusipes is an agaricomycete fungus situated in the family Omphalotaceae [8], with the genus Gymnopus consisting of around 300 plant-associated species distributed almost globally [9]. Since its identification as a primary pathogen in the mid-1980s, Gymnopus fusipes has been linked with numerous episodes of oak decline in the UK and Europe [10,11]. ...

Gymnopus fusipes is an understudied root rot pathogen associated with multiple tree species and is linked to episodes of oak decline across the United Kingdom and Europe. Although the reported distribution of G. fusipes is broad, many observations rely solely on visual identification of fruiting bodies, which can be unreliable, and lack confirmation by molecular and/or isolation data to verify this broad ecological range. Given the paucity of information regarding the true ecological distribution of G. fusipes , it is difficult to predict and model the potential distribution of the species under both current and future climate scenarios. In this study, to determine the growth capabilities of G. fusipes across a range of ecologically relevant temperatures , five geographically diverse isolates of G. fusipes were grown at five different temperatures ranging from 4–37°C, to determine the optimal temperature for G. fusipes growth, and to establish whether geographically diverse isolates exhibit local adaptation to temperature tolerance. Incubation temperature had a significant effect on G. fusipes growth rate, with 25°C representing the optimum ( P <0.001). Isolates had differing growth rates at each of the temperatures, with an isolate from the UK having the highest overall growth rate across all five temperatures tested ( P <0.001), and at the optimum, increased by a mean value of over 4915 mm ² . Local adaptation to temperature tolerance was not found in the isolates tested. These data demonstrate the optimal incubation temperature for future laboratory studies on G. fusipes and provide the first data on the growth rate of this pathogen across ecologically relevant climate ranges that may inform land managers, modellers, and policy makers in predicting the current and potentially future geographical limits of this widespread root rot pathogen.

Fungal Systematics and Evolution (FUSE) is one of the journal series to address the “fusion” between morphological data and molecular phylogenetic data and to describe new fungal taxa and interesting observations. This paper is the 6th contribution in the FUSE series—presenting one new genus, twelve new species, twelve new country records, and three new combinations. The new genus is: Pseudozeugandromyces (Laboulbeniomycetes, Laboulbeniales). The new species are: Albatrellopsis flettioides from Pakistan, Aureoboletus garciae from Mexico, Entoloma canadense from Canada, E. frigidum from Sweden, E. porphyroleucum from Vietnam, Erythrophylloporus flammans from Vietnam, Marasmiellus boreoorientalis from Kamchatka Peninsula in the Russian Far East, Marasmiellus longistipes from Pakistan, Pseudozeugandromyces tachypori on Tachyporus pusillus (Coleoptera, Staphylinidae) from Belgium, Robillarda sohagensis from Egypt, Trechispora hondurensis from Honduras, and Tricholoma kenanii from Turkey. The new records are: Arthrorhynchus eucampsipodae on Eucampsipoda africanum (Diptera, Nycteribiidae) from Rwanda and South Africa, and on Nycteribia vexata (Diptera, Nycteribiidae) from Bulgaria; A. nycteribiae on Eucampsipoda africanum from South Africa, on Penicillidia conspicua (Diptera, Nycteribiidae) from Bulgaria (the first undoubtful country record), and on Penicillidia pachymela from Tanzania; Calvatia lilacina from Pakistan; Entoloma shangdongense from Pakistan; Erysiphe quercicola on Ziziphus jujuba (Rosales, Rhamnaceae) and E. urticae on Urtica dioica (Rosales, Urticaceae) from Pakistan; Fanniomyces ceratophorus on Fannia canicularis (Diptera, Faniidae) from the Netherlands; Marasmiellus biformis and M. subnudus from Pakistan; Morchella anatolica from Turkey; Ophiocordyceps ditmarii on Vespula vulgaris (Hymenoptera, Vespidae) from Austria; and Parvacoccum pini on Pinus cembra (Pinales, Pinaceae) from Austria. The new combinations are: Appendiculina gregaria, A. scaptomyzae, and Marasmiellus rodhallii. Analysis of an LSU dataset of Arthrorhynchus including isolates of A. eucampsipodae from Eucampsipoda africanum and Nycteribia spp. hosts, revealed that this taxon is a complex of multiple species segregated by host genus. Analysis of an SSU–LSU dataset of Laboulbeniomycetes sequences revealed support for the recognition of four monophyletic genera within Stigmatomyces sensu lato: Appendiculina, Fanniomyces, Gloeandromyces, and Stigmatomyces sensu stricto. Finally, phylogenetic analyses of Rhytismataceae based on ITS–LSU ribosomal DNA resulted in a close relationship of Parvacoccum pini with Coccomyces strobi.

Morphological and phylogenetic analyses were conducted to identify Gymnopus species collected in Pakistan during 2013–14. Phylogenetic analysis was performed using internal transcribed spacer region (ITS) of ribosomal DNA sequences. Among the collected taxa, we identified Gymnopus barbipes and G. dysodes, represent new records for Pakistan. Their detailed descriptions and illustrations are also provided.
... The phylogenetically similar Marasmiellus polygrammus (Mont.) J.S. Oliveira is known from South America (e.g., Costa Rica, Guyana, Puerto Rico; Baroni 1998, Mata & Petersen 2003, Mata & Ovrebo 2009), the Republic of Korea (Lee et al. 2014, Jang et al. 2016, and India (Dutta et al. 2015). This species macroscopically differs from M. subpruinosus by close to subdistant lamellae and a dark brown to black stipe (Mata & Petersen 2003); however, concerning microscopic characters, these authors observed only basidiospores due to the poor condition of the type specimen. ...
... Moreover, the authors have not mentioned the presence of distinct and long pileipellis terminal cells. The Korean authors (Jang et al. 2016) also described a smaller pileus (1.5-2 cm) and smaller ba-sidiospores, (5)5.2-7.4 × 2.6-3.5 μm, however, they mentioned the absence of cheilocystidia. Moreover, the sequence of their single Korean collection forms a small sister clade to the other M. polygrammus sequences. ...
... Macroscopically similar to M. subpruinosus is the Korean collection named Gymnopus iocephalus (Berk. & M.A. Curtis) Halling, but it differs by the absence of cheilocystidia (Jang et al. 2016); the authors of this paper described the pileus colour as yellowish brown to very pale brown when fresh, becoming very pale brown when dry. However, Berkeley & Curtis (1853) mentioned the pileus as violaceous in his original description. ...
