We report the discovery of a fossil agaricoid homobasidiomycete from Dominican amber (ca 15-20 Ma). Aureofungus yaniguaensis appears to be a member of the euagarics clade, but its precise taxonomic placement is obscure. This is the fourth known fossil agaric and the third from Dominican amber.

Fly agaric (Amanita muscaria) was investigated using a 1H NMR-based metabolomics approach. The caps and stems were studied separately, revealing different metabolic compositions. Additionally, multivariate data analyses of the fungal basidiomata and the type of soil were performed. Compared to the stems, A. muscaria caps exhibited higher concentrations of isoleucine, leucine, valine, alanine, a...

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...

Non-agaric macrofungi of Hamedan province (Iran), belonging to the genus Verpa Sw. (family Morchellaceae), were collected and identified based on morphological features (Dennis 1981 and Häffner 1991).

Hydropodia silvae-nipponicae, a new agaric species was described based on the specimens collected from evergreen broad-leaved forests in Japan. The present is distinct H. subalpina, type of genus by morphological characteristics and nuclear rDNA sequences. silvae-nipponicae characterized its nodulose cystidium-like terminal elements pileipellis, cylindrical to clavate pileocystidia with irregul...
