Abstract

This issue of Mycological Research News features: Fungal irritability and survival mechanisms; In this issue; Genetic markers in single spores of AM fungi; Rice blast fungus attacks leaves and roots differently; Why picking wild mushrooms might be bad behaviour; and life-style choices in lichen-farming and lichen-dwelling fungi.

Physiological and ecological papers in this part investigate peroxide accumulation and cell death, stress responses to peroxide and paraquat, and fungal decomposition of leaves in streams.

Molecular studies address: phylogenetic relationships of Lecanoromycetes; correlations with toxin production in Fusarium species; detection techniques for ectomycorrhizal fungi; the status of Xanthoria aureola; the identity of a sterile red endophyte of cereals; Lepista in Australia; native Alternaria brassicicola populations; and the placement of southern African truffles.

The following new scientific names are introduced: Eremiomyces and Kalaharituber gens. nov.; E. echinulatus (syn. Choirmyces echinulatus) and K. pfeilii (syn. Tuber pfeilii) combs. nov.
