I would like to know something about the natural occurrence of Chondrostereum pupureum in this Dutch polders. There appears to be an overwhelming abundance of carpophores of Chondrostereum purpureum in this newly formed Dutch polder due to many clearcuttings of poplar forests and logging. I saw for instance a heap of more than hundred poplar stems of one year old with on each sawing area (2) more than A=100 cm2 area of fructifications. Due to the very fast fungal succession (and a few nights with frost) all basidiocarps had turned brown and were disappearing. There appears to be an unusual rapid fungal succession on wood stumps and wood logs in this new Dutch polder. On one year old poplar logs, I already noted toadstools of Ozonium coprinus, Pholiota destruens, the so-called "wimperzwammetje" (Scutelli- nia scutellata), many Nectria spp. etc. Cylindrobasidium evolvens and C. purpureum is an often found association on poplar logs and stumps (For a description with photo you should consult Jahn (1979); Pilze die an Holz wach- sen, pp.88-89) I saw many resprouting poplar logs laying onto the ground. Most poplar forests happen to be about 20 years old. The coming years many clearcuts are to be expected. This will be followed by a long clearcut break. Besides we notified leaves of maple with a leaf spot disease: dark leaf spots surrounded by a light green zone (caused by the "inktvlekkenzwam" (Rhytisma acerinum)). It is an ascomy- cete which sporulates in April and May. This is an indication of clean air (less air pollution). Back home we isolated a few cultures from the spore shedding of sampled basidiocarps. =-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-=-= Sincerely Yours, dr Meindert D. de Jong | seeking a E-mail: Vlinders@RCL.WAU.NL | telejob Voice: (+31) 8370 21937 FAX: (+31) 8370 23110 Photo:de Jong e.a.'90.

Another classic (though not a fungus) is the tumour gall producing Agrobacterium tumifasciens. The infection is by the expression of plasmid encoded genes from the bacteria which code for cytokinins and auxins. This is well documented in the plant growth regulator literature.

NAMA is trying to link the various members together electronically. NAMA posed a general question to the members to find out who had EMAIL addresses and how much interest there is in the subject. The # of people responding was low (about 22 people) but, I suspect many people would participate if they had someone to guide them. After all, the membership is primarily interested in Mycology and most members don't know much about networking. Anyway, specifically regarding your request, I have seen discussions on USENET concerning Mycology or Mycophagy on Rec.backcountry sci.biology rec.cooking rec.gardens You won't see this very often but, If you want to start a discussion, the Mycophiles will come out of the lignin and respond. Also, there is a newly formed "Myconet" in the San Jose dialing area. The number is 408 866-9247. The originators of this BBS are Blaise Pabon and Christian Smith. The plan is to give clubs a free subscription for newsletter transmittal and to keep subscription costs low to make it widely available.

Simply being in a poorly ventilated room with the fresh mushrooms has caused near-anaphalactiod shock in some people. I saw another follow-up where the poster was poisoned by _Armilarellia Mellea_ group mushrooms. -They were lucky they only ate a couple of bites.

Just a little followup on Myconet. We will have an Internet connection sometime in late November. However, Myconet has been structured so that connect time can be kept to a minimum by downloading conference threads and composing responses offline. Conference access is free. We will be sponsoring a series of hosted conferences on Myconet, the first of which will be dedicated to using the fungi for teaching science at the elementary and secondary levels. Our host will be Bruce Potter, a high school teacher in Willits, California. Bruce has had tremendous success with his students by teaching tissue culture, spawn production and cultivation techniques. I wish I had had something this interesting available whe I was in high school. I didn't discover I had an interest in the fungi until I took a plant pathology class in college!

Similarly, the genus name Armillariella is defunct and these species are correctly referred to as Armillaria. Also several species that were at one time considered part of Armillaria have been moved to Tricholoma (most notably Armillaria ponderosus is now Tricholoma magnivelare). My question about this is what has happened to some of the other species. In particular the species caligata, zelleri, and olida. Finally, is luteovirens a synonym for straminea or not and which is correct. The principle book references I'm relying on are Arora's Mushrooms Demystified (and All the Rain Promises...), Lincoff's Audubon Field Guide, Phillips' Mushrooms of North America and Shaw & Kile "Armillaria Root Disease". As long as I'm asking about name changes, what is the status of the genus name Xercomus? Most American books seem to ignore it and make it part of Boletus, but most of the books I have from other countries (Japan, and Europe) use Xercomus. Finally, is the genus Leptonia considered defunct and been clumped into Entoloma or not? I hope someone out there has more info than I and can answer some of these questions. I would also be interesting in collecting such questions and any answers with references. For obvious reasons I am particularly interested in name changes or name errors in common field guides since they are all that most people have available to them. I actually heard Gary Lincoff say in a talk he gave that about 10% of the names in his book are no longer correct. Does anyone know if the corrections are available anywhere? ------------------------- _________ Nathan Wilson <_________> nathan@cse.ucsc.edu |_| It is no dream!

Could anybody help by giving me detail or refs for the latest definitions, if any, for speciation within Aspergillus or filamentous fungi. I am not concerned about the morphological characteristics which define a species but in what the definition of a species is, within the imperfect fungi. I believe that the Botanical Congress met this year, did they have anything new to say on the topic? I am a molecular biologist not a taxonomist so any information concerned with genetics would be very useful.

The best way to participate in this group is by USENET news as described below. Please DO NOT send "unsubscribe" requests to the newsgroup posting address. The proper address to use is for our e-mail server, biosci-server@net.bio.net. First send a "help" message to that address for directions. If you need assistance you can contact a person by mailing to biosci@net.bio.net. Sincerely, Dave Kristofferson BIOSCI/bionet Manager kristoff@net.bio.net Our instruction sheet follows. If you can not use news software and therefore need to subscribe by e-mail, please follow the instructions below for using the e-mail server at biosci-server@net.bio.net. If you have problems using the server, personal help can be reached at biosci@net.bio.net. Thank you for your interest in the BIOSCI newsgroups. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- THE BIOSCI ELECTRONIC NEWSGROUP NETWORK INFORMATION SHEET (last revised 29-OCT-93) ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the BIOSCI information sheet for the Americas and Pacific Rim countries. If you are located in Europe, Africa, or Central Asia, please request that version of the BIOSCI information sheet by sending e-mail to the Internet address: biosci@net.bio.net. The address above is the main adminstrative address for this regional BIOSCI node and mail to it is read by people, not computers. New users of BIOSCI/bionet may want to read the "Frequently Asked Questions" or "FAQ" sheet for BIOSCI. The FAQ provides details on how to participate in these forums and is available for anonymous FTP from net.bio.net [134.172.2.69] in pub/BIOSCI/biosci.FAQ. It may also be requested by sending e-mail to biosci@net.bio.net (use plain English for your request). The FAQ is also posted on the first of each month to the newsgroup BIONEWS/bionet.announce immediately following the posting of the BIOSCI information sheet. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Introduction ------------ The BIOSCI newsgroup network was developed to allow easy worldwide communications between biological scientists who work on a variety of computer networks. BIOSCI is supported by the National Science Foundation, Department of Energy, and National Institutes of Health in the U.S.A. and by the Science and Engineering Research Council Daresbury Laboratory in the United Kingdom. BIOSCI services are available to users free of charge. BIOSCI messages are distributed by two means: USENET news software and electronic mail. WE STRONGLY ENCOURAGE ALL INTERESTED USERS TO EXPLORE GETTING "USENET NEWS" SOFTWARE AT YOUR SITE. The software is in the public domain, and you will find it much more convenient than subscribing to newsgroups by e-mail. Please consult your systems manager (the software may already be available on a machine at your institution) or contact biosci@net.bio.net for a list of software available free of charge on the Internet. NOTE, however, that the installation and maintenance of news software requires the assistance of a trained systems operator in most cases and is not a task to be undertaken by a computer novice. Why is news software preferable to e-mail? News software recovers messages automatically after network interruptions, whereas your e-mail address may have to be removed from the subscription list at times if your computer/network malfunctions and undelivered mail starts bouncing back to the BIOSCI administrative sites. You will have to manually retrieve lost messages from the archives if your e-mail subscription is suspended. News software organizes messages by topic and subtopic for easy browsing. In contrast if you subscribe by e-mail to more than one discussion list, messages from multiple lists arrive into your personal mail file in chronological order of posting only and are mixed in with your personal messages. You have to connect the discussion threads yourself if you use e-mail. In summary, e-mail participation should be seen as a LAST RESORT to be used only if news software can not be installed locally. Fortunately, BIOSCI offers advantages for e-mail users too. By having distribution sites or "nodes" on each major network, BIOSCI allows its e-mail users to contact people around the world without having to learn a variety of computer addressing tricks. Any user can simply post a message to his/her regional BIOSCI node and copies of that message will be distributed automatically to all other subscribers on all of the participating networks, including the Internet, USENET, BITNET, EARN, NETNORTH, HEANET, and JANET. List of BIOSCI newsgroups ------------------------- BIOSCI messages are distributed on the newsgroups in the "bionet" hierarchy of USENET and on the corresponding mailing lists indicated below. Contents of the USENET newsgroups and the e-mail distributions are *identical*, i.e., messages sent in by e-mail are also forwarded to USENET and messages posted to USENET newsgroups are also distributed to e-mail subscribers. An expanded description of the purpose of each newsgroup follows this list.

BIOSCI Newsgroup Discussion Leaders ----------------------------------- Most scientific specialty newsgroups (except for a few created several years ago) have individuals who are responsible for stimulating discussion on the newsgroup. General purpose forums such as METHODS-AND-REAGENTS do not have discussion leaders. If a group that you are interested in does not seem to have much activity recently, please contact the discussion leader and ask why.

Participating in BIOSCI Using USENET News Software -------------------------------------------------- Users who have access to USENET news software and the bionet USENET groups can participate immediately, i.e., they do not need to "subscribe" to anything. They can read and reply to messages using their local news software (e.g., "nn" or "rn") and post new messages of their own. Users will have to consult their local systems managers for help in using news software. There are many different programs available and the BIOSCI staff can not provide training in news software use. Fortunately, most news software is fairly simple to use and can be learned quickly. When posting new messages, USENET users should be sure to set the message "distribution" to "world" or "bionet" or else your message may not be distributed beyond your local computer. In most cases, messages are posted directly to the newsgroups without editorial intervention. Some groups (indicated in the lists above) are "moderated," however. This means that postings to these newsgroups will be sent to the newsgroup moderator who will decide whether or not the message is suitable for posting to the newsgroup in question. Participating in BIOSCI by E-mail --------------------------------- PLEASE NOTE THAT IF YOU HAVE ACCESS TO USENET NEWS YOU DO NOT NEED AN E-MAIL SUBSCRIPTION!! Simply read and post to the newsgroups in the "bionet" newsgroup hierarchy using your USENET news software. E-mail Subscription Requests and other Information -------------------------------------------------- For users in the Americas and Pacific Rim countries, e-mail subscription and cancellation requests are handled automatically by an e-mail server, although personal assistance is also available via the biosci@net.bio.net address. Once your e-mail address is added to a subscription list, mail will be sent to your address automatically each time someone posts a message. This will continue until you remove your address from the subscription list. To obtain instructions automatically on BIOSCI e-mail server use, please send a message to the address biosci-server@net.bio.net leaving the Subject: line of your message blank and putting the text help in the body of the message. Brief server instructions follow: first send the "lists" command to the biosci-server@net.bio.net address to obtain a listing of all BIOSCI mailing lists. Use the "subscribe listname" or ^^^^^^^^ "unsubscribe listname" commands to add or delete your address from any ^^^^^^^^ of the BIOSCI subscription lists. Your e-mail address is obtained automatically from the header of your mail message; BE SURE to substitute for "listname" in the commands above the appropriate mailing list name FROM THE "lists" COMMAND OUTPUT! Multiple commands may be placed on separate lines in the same mail message. Other command details are described in the e-mail server help file. NOTE!! WE WILL ASSUME THAT YOU HAVE FOLLOWED THESE INSTRUCTIONS and will DELETE any message to the administrative address biosci@net.bio.net that simply requests us to carry out manually "subscribe" or "unsubscribe" commands without further explanation. IF YOU NEED HUMAN ASSISTANCE, PLEASE SAY SO PROMINENTLY AND EXPLICITLY AT THE BEGINNING OF YOUR MAIL. For example, please put the line ASSISTANCE NEEDED at the beginning of the body of your message or in the Subject: line of your message to biosci@net.bio.net. E-mail Address Changes ---------------------- If you have subscribed to a newsgroup and are now leaving an institution or changing your e-mail address, it is IMPERATIVE that you send a note to biosci@net.bio.net and cancel your subscription! Non-existent addresses or overflowing mailboxes cause computer mail programs to send back "daemon" messages which might bother everybody on the newsgroup. We will immediately remove any address causing such a problem, but would prefer it if you would notify us in advance as a courtesy to the rest of the user community. Interruption of E-mail Service ------------------------------ It is our policy to remove any address from our mailing lists which becomes inaccessible and causes mail to bounce back to the sender. This might happen to you if your local computer or network fails for a significant period of time. If you notice that you are no longer receiving BIOSCI postings, it may be because your address was removed for the above reason. It will be necessary for you to contact biosci@net.bio.net and resubscribe. Please see the BIOSCI FAQ, mentioned at the beginning of this document, for more details on how BIOSCI handles addresses which reject mail. Posting Messages to Newsgroups by E-mail ---------------------------------------- Those who use e-mail to post messages should send their mail to the following Internet addresses in the USA: ********************************************************************** DO NOT, REPEAT, DO NOT POST SUBSCRIPTION OR CANCELLATION REQUESTS DIRECTLY TO ANY OF THE NEWSGROUP E-MAIL POSTING ADDRESSES.

Retrieval of old postings from the BIOSCI archives -------------------------------------------------- Users with Internet access can use either the WAIS or gopher software to search the BIOSCI archives located at net.bio.net as described in the BIOSCI FAQ. E-mail users can retrieve messages from our waismail e-mail server. For waismail instructions, send the word help in a message to waismail@net.bio.net. Please leave the Subject: line of your message blank. BIOSCI "prototype" newsgroups ----------------------------- To assist areas of research in developing their own electronic communication forums, BIOSCI at net.bio.net will set up on request a mailing list *without* an associated USENET newsgroup. The mailing list is created only at net.bio.net, the U.S. BIOSCI node, and all subscription requests must be sent to biosci@net.bio.net regardless of one's geographical location. There is no charge for this or any other BIOSCI service, as usual. This procedure waives the rule that requires each new newsgroup proposal to be put to a vote of the readership first (see the BIOSCI FAQ, mentioned at the beginning of this document, for details on creating new full-fledged newsgroups and prototype newsgroups). Each mailing list ("prototype newsgroup") must have a scientist volunteer to serve as its discussion leader and an initial list of e-mail subscribers. The prototype newsgroup has six months to build up its readership after which time it is put out for a vote for full newsgroup status (i.e., to have both a mailing list *and* parallel USENET newsgroup created at both BIOSCI nodes in the U.S. and U.K.). If you are interested in establishing such a forum for your research specialty, please contact biosci@net.bio.net. The current prototype newsgroups are listed below. Please send subscription requests to biosci-server@net.bio.net and NOT to the newsgroup posting addresses. Prototype newsgroups may *not* be fully archived, so please be sure to save any messages that you may want to refer to again. Posting Address Purpose --------------- ------- pep-libs@net.bio.net Discussion on generation and use of peptide molecular repertoires displayed on phage or prepared as synthetic peptide combinatorial libraries. rna@net.bio.net Discussions about RNA editing, RNA splicing, and ribozyme activities of RNA. yac@net.bio.net Dicussions about yeast artificial chromosomes FURTHER QUESTIONS??? Please address them to biosci@net.bio.net. PLEASE DO NOT DIRECT BIOSCI QUESTIONS TO THE PERSONAL E-MAIL ADDRESSES OF PEOPLE ON THE BIOSCI STAFF!! DUE TO OUR VOLUME OF MAIL, ANSWERS MAY BE DELAYED OR NOT SENT AT ALL!!
