Dark-spored species of Agaricineae from Republic of São Tomé and Príncipe, West Africa

SummaryFieldwork on the distribution, status and ecology of the endemic bird species of São Tomé and Príncipe was conducted from June to September 1990. The results are here combined with other evidence, notably from recent ICBP-backed fieldwork. Findings largely support existing Red Data Book listings, although Oriolus crassirostris is now found only in remote undisturbed areas at low density, and deserves “Rare” status. Particular achievements of the 1990 fieldwork were the first observations since the 1920s of Bostrychia bocagei, Lanius newtoni and Amaurocichla bocagii, the first two being very rare (one seen of each) and the last patchily common (along streams), records of all three being from either Rio Xufexufe or Rio Ana Chaves or both. Primary forest, mature secondary forest and shade forest are all important to the security of the full avifauna of both islands.

New Distribution

Limited research has been published on the mushroom-forming basidiomycetous fungi of the oceanic islands São Tomé and Príncipe, West Africa. Based on field work in April 2006 and 2008, which generated 24 specimens of mycenoid fungi, we recognize 14 species of Mycena, and 5 species belonging to the allied genera Clitocybula, Filoboletus, Hydropus and “Trogia”. Of these, 9 species are recognized herein as new to science, viz., Mycena antennae, M. brunneoviolacea, M. longinqua, M. oboensis, M. phaeonox, M. solis, Clitocybula intervenosa, Hydropus globosporus, and H. murinus; an additional 10 species are new distribution reports for São Tomé and Príncipe. Species delimitations are based on comprehensive morphological descriptions and molecular sequence (nLSU, ITS) data. Line drawings of salient micromorphological features, colour photographs of basidiomata, comparisons with allied taxa, a key to aid in identification, and phylogenetic inferences are provided.
