... The species is known only from Buxus, which makes it easy for determination (Bernicchia & Gorjón, 2010). In addition, it can be easily recognized by the numerous encrusted cystidia, gloeocystidia and ellipsoid spores (Lambevska, Rusevska & Karadelev, 2013). P. proxima has been reported from different parts of Europe, but it has not been previously reported for Bulgaria. ...
... General distribution. P. proxima has been reported from different parts of Europe, Russia, France, Poland, Hungary, Belgium, United Kingdom, Slovakia, Portugal, Turkey, Sweden, Denmark, Norway, Finland, Ukraine, Macedonia, Turkey and the Caucasus (Bernicchia & Gorjón, 2010;Lambevska, Rusevska & Karadelev, 2013). P. proxima is microscopically easily diagnosed by its typical ellipsoid spores, gloeocystidia and the numerous encrusted cystidia. ...
... It is considered a common white rot saprobe that is apparently restricted to Buxus sp. (Lambevska, Rusevska & Karadelev, 2013). Bondartseva & Seman (1978) mentioned it as destructor of processed wood materials. ...
Peniophora proxima Bres. is corticioid fungus belonging to family
Peniophoraceae (Basidiomycota). It is easily distinguished by the numerous
encrusted cystidia, gloeocystidia and ellipsoid spores. The species is considered
a common white rot saprobe restricted only to the Buxus representatives.
One of the most popular species of the Old world is Buxus sempervirens L.
(European boxwood), native to western and southern Europe, northwest Africa,
and southwest Asia. Although the species does not belong to the native flora of
Bulgaria, for many years, the European boxwoods have been one of the most
popular and widely used landscaping plants, in the form of ornamental shrubs
or dense, evergreen hedges in shady places. P. proxima has been reported from
different parts of Europe, but it has not been previously reported for Bulgaria.
This article reports this new find from three localities in Bulgaria, while providing
information about the morphological and ecological features of the species and
commenting on the pattern of its distribution.
Keywords: first record, Bulgarian mycota, Buxus sempervirens, lignicolous
fungi.
... Extremely common on fallen wood, branches, bark of logs, it grows on all kinds of deciduous wood, but it is also found on coniferous wood. In the North of Sweden it is not so common, but it reaches the subalpine birch forest (Eriksson 1950 (Eriksson 1950, Boidin 1965, Boidin 1994, Telleria 1980, Telleria 1982, Dennis 1986, Telleria & Melo 1992, Hallenberg 1991, Telleria et al. 2009a, Telleria et al. 2009b, Telleria et al. 2009c, Andreasen & Hallenberg 2009, Bernicchia & Gorjón 2010, Lambevska et al. 2013 (Burt 1925, Eriksson 1950, Boidin 1965, Eriksson et al. 1978, Tellería & Melo 1992, Telleria et al. 2009a, Telleria et al. 2009c, Andreasen & Hallenberg 2009, Bernicchia & Gorjón 2010, Lambevska et al. 2013, Tapia et al. 2016.

... In all likelihood it has the widest range of hosts among the Peniophora species. It is, without a doubt, a species that frequents warm, open and sunny places, enduring long droughts, but also grows well in humid and protected places, so it can be considered (Eriksson 1950, Boidin 1965, Boidin 1994, Telleria 1982, Dennis 1986, Hallenberg 1986, Tellería & Melo 1992, Andreasen & Hallenberg 2009, Bernicchia & Gorjón 2010, Lambevska et al. 2013, BD MA-Fungi RJBM). As P. violaceolivida is mentioned for the first time for the Canary Islands, we only have information, at the moment, about a single species of substrate in the study area: Spartocytisus supranubius, a Canarian endemic legume. ...
A revision of the genus Peniophora in the high mountain of Tenerife (Teide National Park) is presented. Seven species were recorded, of which P. nuda was the most common. P. Violaceolivida is new to the Canary Islands, as well as P. limitata for Tenerife. Peniophora samples were collected exclusively on seven endemic vascular plant species of all the potential substrates (≈ 20), and all Peniophora species were registered on Spartocytisus supranubius, which is a dominant legume species with a wide distribution in the study area.
... Most of these are wood, plant, lichen, or fruit surface fungi distributed in natural environments. Specifically, Vishniacozyma victoriae and Stereum hirsutum, detected in this study, are related with lichens, mosses, and plants [47][48][49][50]. ...
... At Pico Spring and Ponds I, II, and III, the dominance of saprotrophs is also observed due to the presence of Saccharomyces and Peniophora. Peniophora acts as a saprotroph mainly on fallen branches and twigs but also on rotting trees [47]. The presence of saprotrophs is also due to Wallemia and Filobasidium, which are mainly plant-associated saprotrophs in saline and extreme environments [46,58]. ...
The Añana Salt Valley in Spain is an active continental solar saltern formed 220 million years ago. To date, no fungal genomic studies of continental salterns have been published, although DNA metabarcoding has recently expanded researchers’ ability to study microbial community structures. Accordingly, the aim of this present study was to evaluate fungal diversity using the internal transcribed spacer (ITS) metabarcoding at different locations along the saltern (springs, ponds, and groundwater) to describe the fungal community of this saline environment. A total of 380 fungal genera were detected. The ubiquity of Saccharomyces was observed in the saltern, although other halotolerant and halophilic fungi like Wallemia, Cladosporium, and Trimmatostroma were also detected. Most of the fungi observed in the saltern were saprotrophs. The fungal distribution appeared to be influenced by surrounding conditions, such as the plant and soil contact, cereal fields, and vineyards of this agricultural region.
... Ecological remarks and host. The species causes decay of a white rot type on dead wood of conifers (Lambevska et al., 2013). According to the available literature, the taxa prefers dead wood of spruce species, but it is also known from Abies, Juniperus, Pinus, Thuja, Tsuga and Pseudotsuga (Mukhin & Stepanova, 1983;Tortić, 1985;Grosse-Brauckmann, 1987;Ginns & Lefebvre, 1993;Boidin, 1994;Dämon, 2001;Polemis et al., 2002;Bernicchia & Gorjón, 2010). ...
This study provides new data for two corticioid species of genus Peniophora Cooke for the Bulgarian mycota, P. piceae and P. pini as wood-decaying saprobes, causing a white rot in coniferous wood. These fungal species have restricted range that follow the spread of the coniferous hosts. P. piceae is known only as saprotroph on dead spruce wood while P. pini prefers dead wood of pine. The work includes information on the morphology and ecological features as well as the distribution pattern of the species in Bulgaria.

Decomposition of coarse woody debris (CWD), be it naturally occurring or resulting from forestry activity, begins long before it hits the ground. Obvious and well-known examples of decay in the standing tree result from heartrots, pathogens leading to root, butt and top rots, and wounding, and are only covered briefly here. Even more common, but as yet less well known, is decay developing from fungal propagules latently present within functional sapwood. These propagules do not develop overtly until the high water content stress obtaining in functional sapwood is reduced (e.g. following drought, root damage, light suppression). Which of the several (many) species/genotypes develop depends on temperature, gaseous and drying regime, and host tree species amongst others. Pioneer communities in sapwood, be it in standing trunks, attached branches, felled timber, or windthrown wood, develop from these fungi which are latently present. If dysfunctional wood remains attached to the tree then these fungi develop forming closed communities which can effect substantial decay. Subsequently secondary colonisers may arrive and continue the decay process, until wood becomes sufficiently weakened and falls to the floor where decay of CWD continues. Decay of felled CWD also begins with fungi which develop from latent propagules though they do not always get the opportunity to establish large domains, as other primary colonizers from outside establish rapidly, and both types of primary colonizers are often relatively rapidly replaced by secondary colonizers. On the forest floor later colonizers can arrive as spores or as mycelium, and effects of these different modes of arrival on community development are discussed. Factors affecting community development and species richness are considered, including interspecific interactions and direct and indirect effect of abiotic variables. The mycelium is emphasised throughout, and dangers of overemphasis on carpophores are highlighted. Decay rate of CWD is commonly approached from an overall process viewpoint, and the effects of abiotic variables on overall decay can be modelled. Ultimately it is the decomposer organisms which effect decay and complex communities can result in extremely heterogeneous decay rates at different spatial and temporal locations within wood. Examples of such differences resulting from presence of different species, interactions between species, and microclimatic variation are presented. Examples are largely taken from temperate angiosperm woodland, but principles are likely to be broadly similar in forests throughout the world, including boreal forests.
S ummary
From sites in south‐west England attached oak ( Quercus robur ) branches bearing basidiomycete sporophores were cut down from mature trees, and the three‐dimensional structure of their decay communities analysed. Twelve basidiomycetes characterized the decay communities. These fungi varied in their ecology, particularly in relation to their ability to colonize living wood, and their interaction with each other and with animals. Phellinus ferreus, Stereum gausapatum and Vuilleminia comedens were pioneers actively growing in partially living branches and causing extensive white rot but little cambial loosening. Peniophora quercina behaved similarly but was often confined to the ends of branches. Exidia glandulosa appeared principally to cause cambial death and loosening leading to white rot in the wood. Phlebia rufa seemed to act as a pioneer causing white rot but only in obviously weakened branches. Coriolus versicoior and Phlebia radiata were secondary invaders only, readily replacing other fungi. Peniophora lycii and Stereum lursutum were each only obtained once. The roles of Hyphodertna setigerum and Schizopora paradoxa were less clear, but both were closely associated with insect activity.
