on the P. kauffmanii complex. Abstract in Inoculum
43(1-3): 45-46.
- ABSTRACT: The genus Phaeocollybia (Cortinariaceae,
Agaricales) is represented by 3 species in eastern and 27
in western North America. Relatively abundant in the dense
coastal rainforests of northern California, Oregon, and Washington,
no Phaeocollybia had been found in western Canada until
October 1991. The discovery of two species on Vancouver Island
in British Columbia extended the range of Phaeocollybia
northward. Both taxa proved to be previously undescribed,
with one macroscopically quite similar to P. kauffmanii.
Comparison of microscopic morphological features of numerous
P. kauffmanii exsiccati with the type of Naucoria
kauffmanii has revealed a complex comprised of at least
three microscopically distinct taxa differentiated by basidiospore
morphology and the presence/absence of clamp connections.
Further fieldwork coupled with chemical, molecular and ecological
analyses of North American collections should reveal whether
such subtle character differences are valid criteria for differentiating
species in this complex. (See also Projects: Phaeocollybia)

- CONTENTS: Both publications provide background on the harvesting
controversy in western North America and give an overview
of the site, experimental design and protocols followed by
the Oregon Cantharellus Study Project now being conducted
by Oregon Mycological Society volunteers. The ten-year study,
now in its sixth year, will attempt to determine the impact
of chanterelle removal upon the subsequent sporocarp abundance
and biomass. Since 1986, new chanterelles have been flagged
by numbered skewers and mapped by triangulation with the dimensions
of each fruiting body recorded every two weeks through the
fruiting season. Since 1989 six of the ten plots have been
harvested with chanterelles removed by cutting (3 plots) or
pulling (3 plots). Four plots (in which no chanterelle removal
is permitted) serve as controls. Three years of harvesting
data indicate that picking chanterelles does not have an adverse
impact on subsequent chanterelle productivity over the short
term. (See also Projects: Chanterelles)]
