Topic: Secotioid


In the News (Fri 1 Jan 10)

  
  Gastrosuillus laricinus
Secotioid agarics and boletes are morphological intermediates between normal epigeous mushrooms and hypogeous false-truffles.
We speculate that most or all extant secotioid boletes are also relatively recent and are unlikely to be the ancestors of the false truffles.
We hypothesize this because virtually all of the secotioid boletes are also rare and limited in range, and many have morphologies that suggest close relationships to extant species groups or sections of genera (18, 20).

Secotioid mushrooms lack the geotropic[?] orientation of the hymenophore, and basidiospores are not actively shot off, thus they are statismospores.
Perhaps an intermediate stage between hymenomycetes and gasteromycetes where gasteromycetation has occurred.

Secotioid inertia is a model implemented to explain the prevalence of highly derived false truffles with no obvious connection to the Homobasidiomycetes.
Morphological and molecular data from Russulaceae are used to model the evolutionary stages of secotioid inertia.
The implications of secotioid drive are discussed with reference to gasteromycete phylogenetics, evolution, and conservation.

 Pouch fungi and truffle-like fungi - Landcare Research
The Thaxterogaster species form a phylogenetically artificial group, and are now regarded as members of the large genus Cortinarius, but they are treated under their old name in this Guide, as they are such a macroscopically distinctive group.
Secotioid genus related to the boletes, with a single species, endemic to New Zealand.
The white fruiting bodies with a short stalk are always found under tea-tree, and it is quite common in northern New Zealand.

Thiers (1984) and Singer (1986) discussed the relationships of some secotioid forms to specific agarics or boletes and in some cases considered them to be intermediates in evolutionary lines leading to false truffles.
Thiers (1984) viewed the secotioid line as leading to the hypogeous forms selected for increasing aridity in the mountain ranges of the western part of North America where both secotioid and false-truffle forms are abundant and show high species di versity (Thiers, 1984).

 Botanical Electronic News - BEN #177
Bryce Kendrick explained to us that Macowanites is a member of the so-called sequestrate fungi (also called secotioid or gastroid fungi), mushrooms that follow the example of truffles and remain buried underground, or grow close to the soil surface.
It means that the spores are sequestered or hidden away, kept from contact with the outside world, at least until the fruit body decays or is eaten.
The term sequestrate appears to be a more useful and more widely applicable term than such frequently-used words as 'gastroid' (which inappropriately implies close relationship with gasteromycetes) and 'secotioid,' an arcane word suggesting similarity with the genus Secotium (which is a sequestrate derivative of Agaricus).

 Shroomery - Weraroa novea-zelandiae
Comments: Weraroa novea-zelandiae (W. noveazelandiae) is a rare secotioid form of caerulescent Psilocybe known only from the North Island of New Zealand.
In general, secotioid mushrooms appear to be lumpy, malformed mushrooms that never open up to expose their gills (or tubes in boletes).
The postings prompted molecular work (currently unpublished) by secotioid expert Ross Beever which reveals that W. novea-zelandiae is very closely related to Psilocybe subaeruginosa which appears to be synonymous with P. cyanescens.

We conducted cafeteria-style feeding trials to compare preferences of northern flying squirrels captured in the Lassen National Forest in northeastern California among sporocarps of 5 species of fungi (3 truffle species and 2 species of secotioid fungi), 2 species of lichens, and fir (Abies magnifica and A. concolor) seeds.
Mean proportion of food eaten varied significantly among the 3 truffle species, between the 2 species of secotioid fungi, and between the 2 lichen species.
Mean proportion of food eaten was greatest for 2 of the truffle species, followed by the lichen Bryoria fremontii.

 CJO - Abstract - Genera in the family Agaricaceae: evidence from nrITS and nrLSU sequences
Notholepiota areolata, a secotioid species from New Zealand, Cystoagaricus with brown, irregular-knobby spores, and Leucopholiota with gelatinized hymenophoral trama and amyloid spores, fall outside the family Agaricaceae.
In the reorganization, long accepted tribe and genus definitions are amended, viz.: (1) Macrolepiota and Chlorophyllum separately are monophyletic, but not together; (2) Leucoagaricus and Leucocoprinus together form one large monophyletic clade, that also includes polyphyletic Sericeomyces; (3) Lepiota, Cystolepiota and Melanophyllum together form a monophyletic clade; (4) Secotiation has happened within several clades (e.g.
Agaricus and Chlorophyllum), though not in the Leucoagaricus/Leucocoprinus clade, nor in the lineage of Macrolepiota proper; gasteroid and most secotioid species in the course of adaptation acquire coloured spores; and (5) the monovelangiocarpic Chamaemyces fracidus appears to be basal to the family and provides clues to the morphology of the ancestral Agaricaceae.

They were hanging, down and up, on rotten wood, at the edges of the snow banks.
Also abundant on wood was the secotioid fungus Nivatogastrium nubigastrum, a pholiota that is (d)evolving towards an underground life, and smells like chemical bubblegum.
One of the prettiest of the snowbank mycenas was out in abundance; Mycena griseoveridis, with its yellow gills and multi-colored stipe, provided an easy ID. Another easily identified mycena, collected in lesser numbers, was M. overholtsii, a large, gray species with an extraordinarily fuzzy "foot"; this species also grows on wood at snowmelt.

Abstract: We have used internal transcribed spacer sequences from the nuclear ribosomal repeat to investigate the secotioid genus Gastrosuillus and to clarify its relationship to Suillus.
Our results show that secotioid fruitbodies in the genus Gastrosuillus are clearly derived and have evolved at least two times from Suillus.
Gastrosuillus suilloides, Gastrosuillus amaranthii, and Gastrosuillus umbrinus proved to be genetically very closely related; their closest nonsecotioid relative was found to be Suillus variegatus.

Recent (including some unpublished) molecular studies concur with the morphological view that Limacella is a distinct genus; however, Amarrendia and Torrendia seem rather likely to comprise hypogeous and secotioid (respectively) species that evolved from multiple ancestors in multiple sections of the genus Amanita.
Torrendia - The species of this genus are (1) secotioid; (2) expand from within a membranous, universal veil; (3) have longitudinally acrophysalidic stipe tissue (as in Amanita); (4) have inamyloid spores (with one possible exception); and (5) have clamps on the bases of their basidia (with the same possible exception).
At least some of the taxa of this genus (including the type species) appear to have had ancestors in common with species of Amanita section Caesareae [

Dr. E. Vellinga's work sorting out Lepiotoid mushrooms and the family Agaricaceae has produced some very interesting results.
The association of several secotioid species (basically mushrooms that don't open the cap to expose their gills) with their mushroom relatives have now been suggested using molecular phylogenetic techniques.
For example, the genus Endoptychum is now known to be an assemblage of species that were not all closely related.

After their establishment, these apparently morphologically stable taxa show a tendency to radiate.
