Reclassification of Corner (Basidiomycota: Agaricales) introducing the ant-associated genus gen. nov., Henn. and the corticioid fam. nov.

was formally proposed to group six coralloid and dimitic genera: (=, , , , and . Recent molecular studies have shown that some of the characters currently used in do not distinguish the genera. and have been removed, and a few other resupinate genera were added to the family.

Cultural and cytological characterization of Dacryopinax primogenitus, a new species in the Dacrymycetes with a fully sequenced genome.

A Dacryopinax species that was cultured in Costa Rica and fruited in the laboratory provided DNA for the first sequenced genome for the Dacrymycetes. Here we characterize the isolate morphologically and cytologically and name it D. primogenitus Molecular sequences from the nuclear large subunit gene and internal transcribed spacer indicated that it is closely related to the South American D.

Septal pore apparatus and nuclear division of Auriscalpium vulgare.

Ultrastructure of the septal pore apparatus and nuclear division of Auriscalpium vulgare (Russulales) was examined with freeze substitution and is presented for inclusion in the AFTOL Structural and Biochemical Database (http://aftol.umn.edu).
