Phylogenetic and microscopic studies in the genus Lactifluus (Basidiomycota, Russulales) in West Africa, including the description of four new species [PDF]
Despite the crucial ecological role of lactarioid taxa (Lactifluus, Lactarius) as common ectomycorrhiza formers in tropical African seasonal forests, their current diversity is not yet adequately assessed.

Evaluation of antibacterial activity of Australian basidiomycetous macrofungi using a high-throughput 96-well plate assay [PDF]
Context: The production of antimicrobial compounds by macrofungi is not unexpected because they have to compete with other organisms for survival in their natural hostile environment.

Availability of Wild Edible Fungi in La Malinche National Park, Mexico
The aim of this paper is to compare edible mushroom availability between the two slopes of La Malinche National Park in central México, and to discuss the possible relation between their availability and traditional use. Eight transects were set up. Samples were collected weekly during the rainy seasons of years 1998–2000.

Lactifluus persicinus sp. nov. from the gallery forests of West Cameroon [PDF]
During field work in the Noun division of western Cameroon during 2011, 2012, and 2014, several collections of an unknown Lactifluus species were discovered in a gallery forest with Uapaca guineensis. Molecular and morphological research shows that these

Diversity of Ectomycorrhizal Fungi Associated with Eucalyptus in Africa and Madagascar
Use of the Australian genus Eucalyptus in short rotation plantations in Africa and Madagascar has developed over the last century to such an extent that it is becoming the most frequently planted genus in Africa. In order to find ecologically well‐adapted eucalypts, foresters have tested different species of various origins and the number of tested ...

Host preferences and differential contributions of deciduous tree species shape mycorrhizal species richness in a mixed Central European forest [PDF]
Mycorrhizal species richness and host ranges were investigated in mixed deciduous stands composed of Fagus sylvatica, Tilia spp., Carpinus betulus, Acer spp., and Fraxinus excelsior.

Mining metadata from unidentified ITS sequences in GenBank: A case study in Inocybe (Basidiomycota) [PDF]
BackgroundThe lack of reference sequences from well-identified mycorrhizal fungi often poses a challenge to the inference of taxonomic affiliation of sequences from environmental samples, and many environmental sequences are thus left unidentified.

Forest management for wood products involves the conversion of primary forests to younger plantations. This has an immediate impact on biota such as ectomycorrhizal fungi, a diverse symbiotic fungal community. Alternatives to large clearcuts may be one way to mitigate harvesting effects.

Helminth associations in white-toothed shrews crocidura russula (insectivora: soricidae) from the albufera natural park, Spain [PDF]
The helminths of 218 white-toothed shrews from 29 sites in 2 biotopes in the Albufera Natural Park (Valencia, Spain) were examined from July 1990 to August 1991.
