Fungi in the Nidulariaceae, otherwise known as ‘bird's nest fungi’, are among least studied groups of Agaricomycetes (Basidiomycota). Bird's fungi globally distributed and typically grow on woody debris or animal dung saprotrophs. This group is morphologically diverse with ca. 200 described species. Phylogenetic relationships bird's were investigated four commonly used loci (ITS, LSU, tef, rpb2...

The basidiomycetous agaric Gerronema nemorale Har. Takah. was collected at several localities in the Republic of Korea (South Korea). A macroand microscopic description and cultivational characteristics are given. Also physiological studies were performed. These included measuring of extracellular ligninolytic enzymes and monitoring of protein and glucose concentration in media. Its placement i...
