New species of macromycetes for regions of the Russian Far East. 1
The research of the species diversity of fungi in Russian Far East has a long-time history. A lot of material has been accumulated over years of inventorying studies, however, a significant part of these data has not yet been published. The paper opens a series of publications devoted to new finds of macrofungi (ascomycetes, basidiomycetes) in regions of Russian Far East. A total of 76 species of macromycetes are reported for the first time from 8 administrative units of Russian Far East: Amur Oblast, Magadan Oblast, Sakhalin Oblast, Kamchatka Krai, Khabarovsk Krai, Primorskiy Krai, Chukotka Autonomous Okrug, and Jewish Autonomous Oblast. Each annotated record provides details about specimen ecology and collection information: locality, habitat, substrate, specimen herbarium numbers, collectors and determiners as well as notes on rarity and protection status of some species. The material was deposited in several herbaria (VLA, MAG, LE) and in the Yu. Rebriev and A. Shiryaev personal collections. Six species (Ascocoryne turficola, Morchella semilibera, M. crassipes, Geastrum quadrifidum, Phallus flavocostatus, and P. tenuis) are reported as the first records for the Russian Far East. Sphaerobolus ingoldii is recorded in Asian part of Russia for the first time, and Calostoma japonicum is a new species for Russia.
