Cortinarius subgenus Leprocybe, unexpected diversity and significant differences in species compositions between western and eastern North America.
The focus of this paper is the North American species of in subg. . Eighteen species, including twelve new ones, and two tentative (aff.) species, are delimited based on morphological and molecular data (DNA ITS-LSU sequences). Existing type specimens of species in subg. were also studied, and neo- or epitypes...Ammirati, J. ; Liimatainen, K. ; Bojantchev, D. ; Peintner, U. ; Kuhnert-Finkernagel, R. …

Forest tree growth is linked to mycorrhizal fungal composition and function across Europe.
Most trees form symbioses with ectomycorrhizal fungi (EMF) which influence access to growth-limiting soil resources. Mesocosm experiments repeatedly show that EMF species differentially affect plant development, yet whether these effects ripple up to influence the growth of entire forests remains unknown. Here we tested the effects of EMF composition and... -

Cortinarius ochrolamellatus (Agaricales, Basidiomycota): a new species in C. sect. Laeti, with comments on the origin of its European-Hyrcanian distribution.
Geographic distributions of mushroom-forming fungi usually remain elusive because of the scarcity of occurrence data. However, the increasing number of environmental and ectomycorrhizal (EcM) root tip DNA sequences deposited in public repositories provides a unique opportunity to expand our knowledge about fungal geographic distributions, even at the intercontinental scale. Here,... -

Systematics and conservation of British and Irish orchids: a "state of the union" assessment to accompany Atlas 2020.
Prompted by concurrent completion of the latest plant atlas for Britain and Ireland, the orchid flora of these islands is reviewed in detail, focusing on 21st century progress in both systematics research and formal conservation categorisation under IUCN criteria. DNA-based phylogenies consistently circumscribe monophyletic groups that constitute obvious genera, though... -

Traditional, Therapeutic Uses and Phytochemistry of Terrestrial European Orchids and Implications for Conservation.
The Orchidaceae family accounts for about 28,000 species, and most of them are mentioned in the folk medicine of nations around the world. The use of terrestrial orchids in European and Mediterranean regions has been reported since ancient times, but little information is available on their medicinal properties, as well...Bazzicalupo, Miriam ; Calevo, Jacopo ; Smeriglio, Antonella ; Cornara, Laura
