MATING SYSTEMS IN HYMENOMYCETES - NEW REPORTS AND TAXONOMIC IMPLICATIONS

Mating systems are reported for the following members of the Aphylloph orales and Agaricales: Cheimomophyllum candidissimum, Collybia conflue ns, Gloiodon strigosum, Hypsizyqus tessulatus, Lentinellus castoreus, Marasmiellus candidus, M. rameales, M. stenophyllus, Marasmius epiphyl lus, Mycena aurantiomarginata, M. rosella, Omphalotus illudens, O. oli vascens, Phyllotopsis nidulans, and Steccherinum basibadium of which a re tetrapolar. Observations are presented on the life cycle of Marasmi us minutus although its mating system remains unknown. In each case, a report of a definable mating system adds data to emerging patterns at generic and suprageneric levels.
