Geographic Coverage

Specimens deposited in the YSU Fungarium were collected mainly in the taiga zone of Western Siberia (Russia). The majority of specimens were collected in Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug-Yugra (94%), 150 specimens from Tomskaya oblast, and several dozens of specimens from Irkutskaya, Moskovskaya, Murmanskaya oblast and from Altay, while the rest four regions represented by a few specimens (Krasnoyarskiy Kray, Novosibirskaya Oblast’, Respublica Buryatia, Tyumenskaya Oblast’). Within administrative borders of Yugra, 6 districts are represented with majority (98%) from Khanty-Mansiyskiy district. The two main sampling areas are located in the vicinities of Khanty-Mansiysk (60N 68E) and the nearby Shapsha and Mukhrino field stations of the YSU. Major vegetation types covered by the collection are coniferous dark taiga forests and their deciduous derivates (more than half of the collection), and ombrotrophic raised bogs (comprising about 30% of the collection). Coniferous forests (dominated by Pinus sibirica, Picea obovata, and Abies sibirica) and their deciduous successions (Populus tremula, Betula pubescens) are characteristic for the taiga zone of Western Siberia. The region is highly bogged, with ombrotrophic peatlands covering about 50% of the area. Other major landscapes include floodplains of big rivers, where meadow and floodplain shrub vegetation develops.

Taxonomic Coverage

The total number of species represented – 1205, genera represented – 460, families represented – 154. The majority of the specimens in the YSU Fungarium belong to the Basidiomycota (about 86%), less to Ascomycota (12%) with few specimens of Zygomycota and Myxomycota. The largest classes are the Agaricomycetes (85%), Leotiomycetes (5%), and Pezizomycetes (4%); the other 11 classes are represented by less than 70 specimens. A total of 41 orders are represented , with Agaricales (66%), Russulales (8%), Helotiales (4%), Pezizales (4%) and Boletales (4%). The Fungarium of the YSU represents 154 families, of which 14% and 18% belong to the families Cortinariaceae and Strophariaceae, respectively. They are followed by the Mycenaceae (6%), Tricholomataceae (6%), Hymenogastraceae (4%), Pluteaceae (4%), Inocybaceae (4%), Agaricaceae (3%), Omphalotaceae (3%), Entolomataceae (3%) with the rest of families representing less than 2%. The collection includes 460 genera, notably Cortinarius (976 specimens), Mycena (364 specimens), Russula (365), Pluteus (278), Galerina (210), Entoloma (186) and Lactarius (166 specimens).

Sampling Methods

Specimens in the collection are accumulated by direct observation and extraction of fruiting structures of fungi. The two major approaches are used: observation and collection of fruiting structures of larger fungi (macromycetes) by naked eye, and lens observations of substrates followed by extraction of smaller fruiting structures of discomycetes, hyphomycetes, pyrenomycetes etc. A common procedure of collecting, describing and preserving specimens recommended for inventories of macrofungi is used (Mueller et al., 2004, Biodiversity of fungi).

Method step description:

1. Fruitbodies of larger fungi are photographed and their growing conditions are described in the field, extracted from the substrate and packed in aluminium foil to be processed in the laboratory later on the day of collection.
2. Macro-morphological features of sporocarps are described according to schemes required for specific systematic groups.
3. Spore prints are obtained when the number of sporocarps is sufficient.
4. Sporocarps are dried after processing in a drying oven under 50°C and stored as dry specimens in Ziploc bags and kraft-paper envelopes.
5. The preparations are made from vital or dried specimens soaked in tap water, ammonia, or KOH (10%), with dyes when necessary (Melzer solution and Congo red).
6. Microscopical characters are studied using a Zeiss Stemi-2000C stereomicroscope (providing a magnification from 6x to 50x), and Zeiss Axiostar transmitted light microscope (50x to 1000x) with Achromat 5/0.12, 10/0.25, 40/0.65 (dry) and Achromat 100/1.25 (oil immersion) lenses.
7. Microphotographs are obtained under transmitted light microscopes using a AxioCam ERc5c digital camera and processed with AxioVision software.
8. Measurements made using AxioVision software.
