TL;DR: A new species, Geastrum inpaense, is described morphologically and molecularly and reported as a new record for Central Amazonia.
Abstract: A new species, Geastrum inpaense , is described morphologically and molecularly. Geastrum lloydianum, G. schweinitzii, Phallus merulinus and Staheliomyces cinctus are reported here as new records for Central Amazonia. In addition, Mutinus fleischeri is reported as a new record for the Americas and Phallus atrovolvatus , as a new record for Brazil.
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented for the first time an updated list of stinkhorn family, Phallaceae, in Hollongapar Gibbon Wildlife Sanctuary, Jorhat, Assam, India.
Abstract: This research paper represents for the first time an updated list of stinkhorn family, Phallaceae, in Hollongapar Gibbon Wildlife Sanctuary, Jorhat, Assam, India. There are seven species of stinkhorns naturally present in the study area. A description of all the species is given along with images of fruiting bodies of the fungi and their microstructures; information on the ecology and general distribution and data on the literature have been documented. The seven species of stinkhorns were found in and around area of the sanctuary which include Phallus indusiatus, Phallus duplicatus, Phallus cinnabarinus, Phallus merulinus, Phallus atrovolvatus, Mutinus bambusinus, and Clathrus delicatus.
TL;DR: Two little known species of Phallales, Mutinus zenkeri and Blumenavia angolensis, were collected on the volcanic island of São Tomé in the Gulf of Guinea, Africa and conclusions of their phylogenetic relationships are provided based on partial nucLSU rDNA sequence data.
TL;DR: Phylogenetic analyses, based on LSU (large subunit of nuclear ribosomal DNA) and atp 6 (subunit 6 of ATP synthase) sequences, support the inclusion of this new species in the genus Mutinus.
Abstract: A new species of the genus Mutinus has been found in the semiarid region of Northeastern Brazil. Mutinus albotruncatus is described macro- and microscopically, and is characterized by the white pseudostipe and truncated apex. Molecular and ecological data are also provided. Phylogenetic analyses, based on LSU (large subunit of nuclear ribosomal DNA) and atp 6 (subunit 6 of ATP synthase) sequences, support the inclusion of this new species in the genus Mutinus . A provisional key to the species of Mutinus known in the world is proposed.
TL;DR: 11 species of gasteromycetes are recorded from Thailand, 8 of which are new to the area, and a compiled check–list of the gasteromers known from Thailand is provided.
Abstract: 11 species of gasteromycetes are recorded from Thailand. 8 are new to the area, viz. Arcangeliella rosea (Harkn.) Zeller & Dodge, Cyathus berkeleyanus (Tul.) Lloyd, Hymenogaster cf. abellus Massee & Rodw., Morganella compacta (Cunn.) Kreisel & Dring, Mutinus bambusinus (Zoll.) Fischer, Nidula niveo–tomentosa (Henn.) Lloyd, Phallus rubicundus (Bosc) Fr., Scleroderma sinnamariense Mont. Further a compiled check–list of the gasteromycetes known from Thailand is provided.
