A growing number of studies provides evidence that mixed-species forests often have higher stand productivity than monospecific forests, which is referred to as overyielding. In this study, we explored how the combination of species and soil conditions affect overyielding in terms of periodic annual volume increment (PAIV) in Dutch forests. We stud...

Chemical investigation of the hydnoid fungus Sarcodontia setosa resulted in the isolation of five compounds, including two new sarcodontic acid derivatives - setosic acid (1) and 7,8-dehydrohomosarcodontic acid (2) along with three known benzoquinone pigments - sarcodontic acid (3), 4,5-dehydrosarcodontic acid (4) and dihydrosarcodontic acid (5). The structures were elucidated using spectroscopic methods (UV, NMR and HR-ESIMS). The biosynthetic relationship of the isolated compounds is proposed and discussed. Antibacterial activity screening of compounds 1-5 against ESKAPE bacterial strains in vitro with zones of inhibition was performed and MIC values were established for the most active compounds (3 and 5).

Species of Radulomyces (Radulomycetaceae, Agaricales) with spines were studied by morphological and molecular methods. Phylogenetic analyses and morphological studies show that Radulomyces paumanokensis is a later synonym of Radulomyces copelandii and that Radulomyces licentii is a distinct taxon. Based on morphologic and molecular data, the new genus Noblesia (Meruliaceae, Polyporales) is proposed to accommodate Sistotrema croceum and Peniophora femsjoeensis. Sarcodontia is emended and restricted to three species with 13 taxa excluded from the genus. For many years, Sarcodontia crocea was based on an erroneous concept of Sistotrema croceum. The correct name for the taxon with striking yellow spines found on Malus and Pyrus in Europe is Sarcodontia setosa; its North American sister species is Sarcodontia amplissima comb. nov. Hydnum sulphureum is a synonym of Sarcodontia uda, and Acia flava is a later synonym of Xylodon quercinus. Species excluded from Sarcodontia are discussed, and the new combination Hyalodon sibirica is proposed.

Sarcodontia crocea is a fungus relatively rarely recorded in Central and Northern Europe, where as a parasite it grows mainly on old apple trees. The most recent data on the occurrence of this fungus in Poland are presented in this study. Seven new localities of S. crocea are reported, found in the regions of Mazowsze, Podkarpacie, Ziemia Łódzka, and Żuławy Wiślane in the years 2013–2016. The S. crocea basidiomes were recorded on 12 apple trees. The fungus occurrence on Malus pumila 'Niedz-wetzkyana' was documented for the first time. Four beetle species representing four families were found in the studied S. crocea basidiomes. Their feeding on S. crocea has not been mentioned in the literature so far.

In the years 2012–2014 mycological inventory was performed in the Kampinos National Park. The subjects of the inventory were the macrofungi (Ascomycota, Basidiomycota). The inventory was made by the route method. The area checked for the presence of the macrofungi comprised the Kampinos National Park without the buffer zone, particular attention was paid to the areas under strict protection. During the inventory 12 012 new findings of macrofungi were noted. On the basis of the own studies (1407 taxa identified in the inventory) and literature data (about 425 taxa reported in papers from 1876–2012), a list of macrofungi present in the Park was made. At present, 1533 taxa of macrofungi are known to occur in the Park, in the rank of species, variety or form, of which 1108 have been found for the first time in the last inventory. The presence of 126 species earlier reported from the Park area has not been confirmed. The list of taxa presented in the paper comprises 1359 basidiomycetous fungi (Basidiomycota), representing 327 genera and 174 ascomycetous fungi (Ascomycota), representing 80 genera. Among them there are 20 species which are protected in Poland (7 under strict protection and 13 under partial protection) and 313 species from the red list of Polish threatened macrofungi, including 4 species categorized as extinct or probably extinct (Ex category), 111 species categorized as endangered (E category), 53 species categorized as vulnerable (V category), 129 species categorized as rare (R category) and 16 species categorized as indeterminate (I category). 94 species, varieties or forms of fungi have been noted in Poland for the first time. Characterisation of the fungi found to occur in the area of KNP is given, including the division into morphological groups: ascomycetous, agaricoid, boletoid, gasteroid, hydnoid, clavarioid, corticioid, polyporoid, tremelloid and auricularioid fungi. The factors ensuring or influencing the high diversity of fungi in the area studied were analysed and attempts were made to identify the refugia and sites of particular mycological worth. The paper discusses the specificity of fungi occurring on anthropogenic habitats and areas without forest cover as well as the importance of those areas for the preservation of full diversity of KNP mycobiota. The diversity of the Park’s mycobiota was compared with the data available from other national parks in Poland. The possible threats for the diversity of macrofungal species were pointed out and some recommendations have been made to protect this group of organisms. The paper is illustrated with 17 tables of photographs showing fructifications of 94 species in situ.

The apple tooth fungus Sarcodontia crocea is a rarely noted fungus of the Basidiomycota type, red-listed in several European countries, including Poland. It is a parasite/saprotrophic species that decays wood of deciduous and fruit trees, most often of the apple tree (Malus spp.). Seven new localities found in 2011–2012 in three regions of Poland are reported here, all on apple trees growing either in orchards or along roadsides. The two sites found in Żuławy Wiślane confirm the species presence in the region 80 years aft er the first and the only record, while records from Wielkopolska region are first for this part of the country. Two other, rare and red-listed fungi species were also found: the shaggy bracket Inonotus hispidus (at three sites) and the greasy bracket Aurantioporus fi ssilis (at 12 sites), all on apple trees.

The results of a study of growth characteristics, macromorphological features and biosynthetic potential of nine dikaryotic strains of Sarcodontia crocea (Polyporales, Basidiomycota) maintained in the Komarov Botanical Institute Basidiomycetes Culture Collection (LE-BIN) are presented. The strains studied were extracted from the basidiocarps collected on Malus domestica in the Belgorod, Oryol and Rostov Oblasts, as well as by seeding of basidiospores. The cultural and morphological characteristics and enzymatic activity of S. crocea were tested on both standard nutrient media (malt-extract agar – MEA, glucose-peptone agar – GPA) and modified semi-synthetic agarized media. Original compositions has been developed and for the first time nutrient media pre-pared using water-based wood extracts from Malus domestica (Malus-M) and Pyrus communis (Pyrus-M) have been approved. It was found that a significant reduction in growth rates was observed during the cultivation of S. crocea on agarized nutrient media of GPA, Malus-M and Pyrus-M. The studied strains on Malus-M and Pyrus-M exhibited high colony variability, sparse micelian mat, and loss of zonality and air mycelium intensity compared to MEA. It was shown that the composition of the nutrient medium strongly determined the ability of S. crocea strains to produce lignocelluolytic complex enzymes. The cellulolytic activity was noted for strains on all media studied, but no reliable differences were found in the cultivation of strains on sugar-rich MEA and three other semi-synthetic media. Only two strains (LE-BIN 2138 and 4355) were identified as having high cellulolytic activ-ity when grown on MEA. The absence of lignolytic complex enzyme activity was demonstrated when the strains were cultivated on new modified semi-synthetic agarized media of Malus-M and Pyrus-M.
