(Cortinarius, Crepidotus, Flammulina, Gymnopus, Lepiota,
Rhodocollybia, and Russula) species and covers
recently discovered Melanotus and Mycena species
synonymies. New (Marthanella) and old (Zelleromyces)
basidiotruffle genera are covered along with the Ascomycetes
Daldinia and Hypomyces. Brief synopses are also
made of lichen and myxomycete papers. Other sections include
(i) "Building computer-based keys," (ii) "Come up and see
me sometime: mating studies and species concepts," (iii) "Talking

- ABSTRACT: In 1998 PNW-MS and USDI-BLM scientists initiated
two five-year fungal community species richness studies in
BLM reserve Douglas-fir forests. They monitored all epigeous
ectomycorrhizal Basidiomycetes from early-, mid- and late
successional stands (Polk County Chronosequence Study) and
from a mid-successional plantation scheduled for five different
thinning treatments [from untreated to regeneration cut] (Green
Peak Density Study). Two parallel elevationally gradient strip
transects (400m2 total/plot) are sampled twice
a week over six months; sporocarps are photographed and annotated,
printed and tested chemically, and dried as vouchers. 132
"density" and 134 "chronosequence" species identified from
morphological and anatomical characters were sampled during
the first season. In the age-class study, species richness
ratios were similar for Inocybe, Lactarius and Russula
at all sites and higher for Dermocybe in the 25-yo
stand with Phaeocollybia restricted to the 150-yo stand.
At the 65-yo density site, 22% species sampled were common
to all treatment plots and 49% were found in only one plot.

- ABSTRACT: Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GSMNP) is
now home to America's first All-Taxa Biodiversity Inventory
(ATBI). During the next 10-15 years the Fungal Taxonomic Working
Group (TWIG) and other researchers will map and identify all
organisms within the Park's 810 square miles. This year a
rapidly expanding Fungal TWIG will foster independent taxonomic
research of macrofungi, foliar pathogens, lichens, VA-mycorrhizae,
water molds and soil / dung / animal-associated microfungi.
An important TWIG contributor is the "Butterflies of the Soil"
project, an important ATBI model pilot-study designed to illustrate
how trained mycologists and para-taxonomists can more efficiently
uncover previously unreported taxa and discover species new
to science. Every month from March to November, pilot-study
volunteers sample sporocarps of all macrofungi found within
a 400m2 transect and send the photographed and
dried vouchers to specialists for identification. Many new
taxa are anticipated as a result of the inventory. (See also

- CONTENTS: A series of short news items outlining the activities
of the Fungal Taxonomic Working Group (TWIG) during the launch
of the fifteen-year All-Taxa Biological Inventory (ATBI) in
Great Smoky Mountains National Park (GSMNP) spearheaded by
the National Park Service and the non-profit research organization
Discover Life in America (DLIA). As Coordinator of the Fungal
TWIG, the author gives an overview of the high level of biodiversity
in the park, outlines ATBI objectives and goals, and encourages
volunteers from the ranks of professional mycologists and
amateur naturalists. She also details formation of "Butterflies
of the Soil," one of two pilot studies selected by DLIA to
illustrate the benefits to be gained by training parataxonomists
to participate in the ATBI. She also covers training workshops
conducted by Macromycete Coordinator Rod Tulloss and the establishment
and monitoring of the permanent transect overseen by Tulloss
and On-site Coordinator Theresa Rey. (See also Projects: Biodiversity)

- CONTENTS: The authors reveal the history of three American
mycologists honored by the species epithets Corticium oakesii,
Entoloma murraii, and Mycena leaiana and explain
how the American Curtis and English Berkeley came to name
the three species. "So what have we learned? That the path
from field to formal name is rarely a straight shot but resembles
nothing more than a scholarly bucket-brigade resulting - it
is to be hoped - in the illumination rather than the dousing
of the natural world." (See also Projects: Agaric Taxonomy

- CONTENTS: Book Review. "Every so often a landmark publication
comes along that is destined to become indispensable to research
for years to come. Such a work is Heinz Clémençon's
new magnum opus -- probably the first time that an entire
book is devoted to the cytological and histological exploration
of all basidiomycetes with exposed hymenial surfaces -- the
agarics, boletes, chanterelles, crusts, brackets, clubs, teeth
and corals….Although the text is written in German,
Clémençon presents a separate table of contents
and 25-page chapter summary in English. The fact that all
illustrations and 14 tables are captioned in both German and
English makes this work unusually accessible to anglophones.
Those even moderately proficient in German will find Clémençon's
style clear, lively, straight-forward and easily understood…
This truly scholarly and incredibly useful work is -- quite
simply -- ‘fantastisch.' Buy this book!"

- CONTENTS: The discussion between two hypothetical characters
on the difficulties with identifying mushrooms that wear different
names in different field guides results in a contest in which
readers are to supply the correct scientific name for each
common name on the Pukey Point Club Fall Foray list. "Confusion
grows exponentially as our two friends scan the final foray
list compiled by a host of other enthusiasts, all consulting
different field guides. Shortly thereafter, our friends take
up a new hobby - birding, where a robin is a robin is a robin
- and never an oriole." (See also Projects: Agaric Taxonomy

and the "REAL" matsutake (Tricholoma matsutake). They
summarize the peregrinations of the two species through different
genera, provide references on the mushroom-harvesting saga,
and provide a light-hearted key that will help to differentiate
the two species. "Key to Matsutakes. (a1) Smells real nice
(like money) -> B [Matsutakes in general]; (a2) Smells
like nothing -> Something else. (b1) Costs $200/lb. ->
REAL matsutake, T. matsutkae; (b2) Costs $100/lb ->
American matsutake, T. magnivelare." Cartoon. (See

- CONTENTS: A general discussion on how mycologists track
historical records, locate references, and learn about the
etymology of scientific names (e.g., Gautieria (a truffle),
Gerronema (a mushroom), and Tarzetta (a cup
fungus)). "So… as Cooke gives no indication whether
he knew a Tarzsomeone (or simply used faulty Italian for some
unknown reason), we can only give you more grist for the mill.
But be aware that the fungus was originally collected in Hungary,
and there is Rehm Exsiccatum No. 53 with still more leads
to follow in more dusty tomes." (See also Projects: Agaric
