Study of specimens in the Mycological Herbarium of the Komarov Botanical Institute (LE) is resulted in new records of Ceraceomyces sulphurinus (P. Karst.) J. Erikss. et Ryvarden, a species of corticioid fungi rare for Europe. This species is recorded for the first time for the Leningrad and Nizhny Novgorod Regions. Data on distribution and distinctive characters of Ceraceomyces sulphurinus are provided.
This paper is the result of an on-going study on distribution and ecology of corticioid wood-inhabiting fungi in Sicily. Twenty-five species not previously recorded in Sicily are here listed. For each taxon, ecological and distributional data are provided. Subulicystidium perlongisporum was recorded in Italy for the first time in two localities occurring on Quercus ilex L. wood. Description, distributional and ecological data of this rare taxon are also provided. Dendrophora versiformis and Kavinia alboviridis, considered rare species in Italy and Europe, are included in this report.
The floristic exploration and critical examination of specimens collected of family Convolvulaceae from Upper Gangetic Plains of India, resulted in addition of 2 new records for the flora viz. Ipomoea littoralis and Ipomoea capitellata var. multilobata. Detailed description, phenology, ecology, distribution, locality, field number, type specimens examined, illustrations and other relevant notes are provided.
