Dacryopinax lowyi is described as new. The species can be differentiated from others in the genus by basidiome characteristics, a zone of subcortical vesicles and vesicular hyphae, basidiospores and basidia features, and ...

The aim of this study was to compare mycorrhizal abundance and diversity in sites with different regimes of disturbance in a tropical rain forest at Los Tuxtlas, Veracruz, Mexico. Arbuscular mycorrhizal spores were quantified ...

Tropical forests are dynamic systems with extensive natural disturbance, gaps in the canopy being one of the most important types. Tree and branch fall are often the principal cause of natural disturbance. This research ...

Faerberia has been known only from Europe. Recently, some collections were made in central Mexico, and there were no significant differences between these collections and others from Europe. Here, the species is described ...

An inventory of foliicolous lichens in Mexican lowland and montane rainforest revealed a total of 288 species, 238 of which are new records for the country, raising the number of reported lichen species to c. 1800. Among ...

A survey of lignicolous freshwater ascomycetes was carried out in Las Ilusiones Lagoon located in the metropolitan area of Villahermosa City State of Tabasco, Mexico. Aniptodera inflatiascigera, Ascosacculus aquaticus and ...

Most of our knowledge concerning the virulence determinants of pathogenic fungi comes from the infected host, mainly from animal models and more recently from in vitro studies with cell cultures. The fungi usually present ...

Phylogenetic relationships in Gomphaceae sensu late were investigated. This has been a taxonomically difficult group of macroscopic fungi because of their heterogeneous external morphology, despite similarities in their ...

Amanita polypyramis and Amanita alexandri are easily confused species of Amanita section Lepidella. The holotype of the latter taxon was studied, as well as of other collections of the two species. No significant difference ...

Traditionally, sporal characters, such as color, shape and ornamentation, have been important in differentiating the various genera within the Gomphales. In some instances, however, no precise analyses have been made that ...
