Preface

Now that the fifth volume of this compelling series is at hand,

The request of my friends Josef BREITENBACH and Fred KBANZLIN to write the Preface of Volume 1 of "Pilze der Schweiz" in 1981 filled me at the time with great joy, since

sadness mingles with our joy over this accomplishment: Josef (Sepp) BBEITENBACH is no longer among us. His

death puts the confidence and the stamina, which enable one to see such projects through, to a hard test. The Russulales must be done yet. They are planned for Volume 6. Whoever wants to pay tribute to Josef BBEITENBACH and render forthright thanks to him for his decades of unselfish involve-

worthy of admiration and protection. The pioneering spirit of this book and the enthusiasm which it carried stimulated worldwide admiration, while its documentation of ascomycetes in word, photograph, and microscopic drawing created new standards and opened new avenues into the biology and ecology of these fungi. For two decades now I have accompanied these two authors

and their collaborators in their work, in constant friendship and collegiality, tried to give encouragement and advice and have received much stimulation myself, critically reviewed the entire drafts of all five volumes and, where it seemed to me necessary, have tried to correct and also to conrirm their results and thereby to encourage them. Two volumes with 390 Ascomycetes and 528 Aphyllophorales accompany three more with 450,465, and 435 gilled fungi. With these 2268 painstakingly documented species of macrofungi for the comparatively small region of central Switzerland, the standard for similar projects has been raised to dizzying heights, while the esthetic requirements applicable to such a work have been fulfilled in exemplary fashion.

The legacy of our friend Josef BREITENBACH urges us to see it through from a higher perspective also. lf we want not only to study and to document the biological diversity of nature, but also to preserve at least an approximation of it, the classical disciplines of morphology, taxonomy, chorology, and

even ecology are no longer sufficient. This task requires an integrative system of concepts in conservation which extends over countries, regions, and continents, concrete measures Ior protection, continually improved strategies for supervision, and meaningful penalties. And we need, everywhere, people who unselfishly place their collective knowledge and their force of conviction in the service of species-

and habitalprotection, people like Josef BREITENBACH, Fred KRANZLIN, and their dedicated collaborators within and outside the Mycological Society of Lucerne.

Foreword and acknowledgments

As projected in the Foreword to Volume 4, my triend Josef Breitenbach and I charged into work on the family Cortinariaceae at the beginning of 1996, full o, enthusiasm and confidence, to bring out another new book in our five-year rhythm. But in the rall of 1998, in the midst of working up the systematic part and shonly after the end ol ihe Three Countries

Foray in Rothol/AT, fate struck inexorably and tore away in deaih my dear friend and true companion during three decades of mycological investigation. The close relationship which had arisen through the daily occupation with fungithus found an abrupt end. To Joset Breitenbach, to whom nature and especially mycology meant eveMhing, it is unfortunately no longer granted to experience the appearance of this fifth volume. All the more have I staked eveMhing on completing this work which we began together, in the spirit of our friendship which grew over the years.

Every mycologist has probably already discovered that the microscopic characters are more constant and therefore more reliable for identilication than macroscopic ones, and they undergo fewer changes as the lruiting body matures than do habitus and color. lt is thus surely no accident that, of the genera treated here, those with well-defined microscopic characters are generally described consistently in the literature. Where good microscopic characters are sparse, as in the genus Cortnarus and in the species which are distinguished principally from macroscopic and ecological aspects, the literature presents very divergent views. A principal reason for this is probably the fact that the descriptions and figures in FRIES as the sanctioning author are often differently interpreted by more recent authors. Uncenainties of identification are thus pre-programmed. Our collections were therefore compared thoroughly with the works of these more recent authors. Applying a name to a collection was therefore based on the best agreement with the macroscopic and microscopic descriptions, as well as with the color pictures and the ecological data. Where necessary for the orientation of our readers, the reasons which have persuaded us of a particular interpretation are given under the rubric "Remarks".

Like perhaps no other genus, Cortinaius requires a very attentive examination of the fruiting bodies at the site and also after collection, as well as during storage and during drying. Only in this way can odor, taste, and possible color changes be recorded reliably. Even slight nuances of color, such as perhaps a lilac stipe apex or an ocherish veil on the stipe, are often important for identification. For this reason

the collected fungi and also the color photographs were always evaluated in natural light.

The great response to the previous volumes has conrirmed that the fungi treated in them have been increasingly collecied, placed in herbaria, and in many societies also evaluated floristically. lt is to be hoped that the presenl volume will also stimulate similar activities.

Although amaieurs generally do noi willingly grapple with identification of Cortinarii, we have b€en able to count on the of numerous colleagues in the Mycological Society ol Lucerne. Friends from other parts of Switzerland and other countries made several collections available to us, so that we could present a representative sampling from each genus in the family Cortinariaceae.

We thank them all for their spontaneous, unselfish collaboration. We are indebted to our friend G. LUCCHINI and his associates for the many collections and slides from localities in Canton Tessin, of which we became aware through his illustrated flora (LUCCHINI 1 997). From the very beginning, JOSEF BACHLER stood by our side as closest collaborator. He was for many years a friend ol JOHANN STANGL Augsburg (Germany), who died in '1988, and during this time was able to acquire profound knowledge ol lnocybe- He made his extensive collection of photographs and all his notes and descriptions of finds available to us. Since his collections were preserved in the herbarium of the Nature Museum o, Lucerne, we could dig freely into this veritable mine of specimens. We were also able to receive numerous specimens of other genera from him. Thus he is entitled to not only a great "thank you", but above all well-earned

praise.

We are also especially obliged to thank G. J. KRIEGLSTEINER, Ourlangen (Germany), who wrote the Preface and reviewed all manuscripts of the taxonomic sections and, where necessary, has enlarged upon them. The critical comments of Dr. E. HORAK, Zurich, on some species saved us from misidentirications, for which we are very grateful. Forthe identification of alpine Sericeocybes we were able to rely on the support of Dr. M. BON, Saint Valery sur Somme (France).

We gladly thank him for his valuable help. Our colleague R. MURNER has, with his involvement with computers and his linguistic editing of many texts, rendered a contribution to the success o, this book worthy of thanks. ln recent years new works on several genera of the Cortinariaceae have repeatedly appeared, which have induced us always to compare our own work against the newest position. This situation brought the translators a full measure of extra effort, which they performed in a precise and termino-

10

logically correct manner. May our very special thanks be expressed to Dr. J. KELLER, Neuchatel, and F. BRUNELLI, SionAr'S, for the French version, and Mrs. V L. and Dr.

lntroduction

Agaricales Part 3, continuation of volumes 3 and 4 The present work gives an overview of 435 fungi in the family Cortinariaceae, in the genera listed on the Iollowing page.

With it, the series of books "Fungi of Switzerland", which began in '1981 with Volume 1 (Ascomycetes), is completed, after nearly 20 years, up to the family Bussulaceae. Treatment of the genera Fussula and Lactarius in this family is planned

and will again present an exciting challenge to all the participants. The species of the Cortinariaceae constitute a very heterogeneous group of fungi; all transitional forms are found in it from the smallest Galerina ot Crepidotus to the robust, lleshy Coftinarius praestans. The abundance of microscopic features also shows great range of variation. lt extends lrom species with several types of cystidia to those which are distinguished only by slight differences in shape, ornamentation, or size of the spores. The shape and structure of the spores are also diverse. Shapes range from globose through elliptical to amygdaliform or fusiform, and surfaces range from smooth, rough, marbled, to angular, tuberculate, or verrucose. However, nearly all species share a visible universal or partialveil, at least in very young condition.

Methods and remarks on individual genera

The procedure for collecting, identifying, describing, and preserving specimens is laid out in detail in Volumes 1+. lt is equally applicable to working up the Cortinariaceae. We

made the measurements of microscopic elements not with the ocular micrometer, as in the families treated earlier, but on the images projected through the camera lucida. This projection magniJied '1000 x or 2000 x (spores). Certain additional

methods of investigation or special characteristics for individual genera are described below. For all genera the pileipellis is represented in a radial section, generally at a scale of 250:1. Since the magnification was not sufficient to represent pigmentation and encrustations in detail, the hyphae are drawn with smooth walls. These particu-

lar features are, however, indicated in the microscopic descriptions. The spores were measured in KOH inclusive ofthe

ornamentation but not the apiculus and were taken from a spore print or scraped off the stipe apex.

ration will have strongly reacting spores, usually dark redbrown, while in other preparations the intrinsic color of the spores does not change, lntermediates between these two extremes can be observed, in which all or even only some of the spores change color, becoming pale to deep brown. ln many species the pileipellis consists of an ixocutis, but in others it is merely a layer of periclinal hyphae whose walls are only weakly gelatinised. This variation in the structure of the pileipellis is a useful distinguishing character. ln some species a thin layer of periclinal hyphae can be observed deep to the ixocutis. This was described by BRUCHET (1970) as the cutis, and he called the deeper layer of polymorphic cells the subcutis. Since this so-called cutis is very difficult or sometimes impossible to distinguish, we regard it as a part of the epicuiis and call the pseudoparenchyma which lies deep to it the subcutis. ln this we follow the usage of SINGER (1e86).

Specialized literature: BRUCHET (1970) VESTERHOLT (1989) VESTERHOLT (1995)

lnocybe As already explained, the basidia were measured in all species always excluding the sterigmata, but the cystidia always including any encrustation. The tubercles were included in measurements of tuberculate spores. Only the tubercles actually visible when the spores were in focus were counted. Many species in this genus can be determined only if the presence or absence of caulocystidia is known. For this reason the stipes of fruiting bodies selected for study should be touched as little as possible, since otherwise caulocystidia may be wiped away in places. Caulocystidia are usually recognizable even on fresh frbs. with a 1o-power hand lens as fine erect bristles. Specialized literature: BON (1997a) HEIM (1931) BON BON

Galerina When collecting Galerinas one should examine the stipe of young frbs. carefully for velar remnants or an annular zone, since these often disappear as the frb. ages. The substrate should also be precisely recorded, and it is also essential to note odor and taste. Since the spore ornamentation is hard to evaluate in some species, several spores should be examined by focusing the oil-immersion objective at different levels. Phase-contrast equipment helps in this examination. One must also be aware that certain species are obligate associates ol Sphagnum, while others inhabit both Sphagnum and other mosses. For determining whether a species has pileocystidia or not, a thin tangential section serves better than a radial section. SMITH & SINGER Specialized literature: BON (1992b)

Some hebelomas secrete hyaline or milk-white droplets on the lamellae when young and fresh. ln the course of development of the frb., these dry up and form red-brown spots (from the spores). ln dry weather, however, these droplets may be absent, so that mature frbs. must be inspected for brown spots. One must always examine several frbs. of a collection for this propedy. Some authors also use dextrinoidity of the spores for identitying certain species. Actually, in some species, one prepa-

Species in the subgenus Sericeocybe do not have an ixocutis; at most the hyphae of their pileipellis have weakly gelatinised walls. Moreover, neither their flesh nor their pileipellis reacts with 10% KOH. Such a reaction can however be observed in many phlegmaciums. Many species of Dermocybe are easily recognized in the field by their bright yellow, orange, or red lamellae. Those species whose lamellae have dull olive, yellowish greenish, or mixed tones are sometimes difficult. ln these cases we have had good results with the method described by FINCK (1994. Pieces of pileus and stipe are wrapped in a piece of absorbent white paper (paper handkerchie0 previously soaked in ethanol.

With this method, we have been able to assign supposed Dermocybes to their correct subgenera, namely Leprocybe andTelamonia. ln Cortinarii, hymenial cystidia are present in only a few species. On the other hand, sterile cells can be observed on the lamellar edges in most oI them. ln our drawings we have for the most part represented those cells which differed in shape and/or size from young basidia.

Dermocybe Cortinarius This very speciose genus is at present divided very differently by different authors. From our own experience and for prac-

tical reasons we have decided to recognize the following seven subgenera: Coftinarius, Dermocybe, Leprocybe, Seiceocybe, Phlegmacium, Myxacium, and lelamonia. Although many species can be easily identified with some practice, many are difficult to place in even the proper subgenus. Trying to separate the subgeneru Phlegmacium, Myxacium, and Sericeocybe is often very exacting forthe mycologist, and the same is true for Dermocybe, Leprocybe, and Telamonia. Species of Myxacium with distinctly slimy stipes are easily recognized as such, but not those whose stipes are almost dry ln such cases, the often bitter taste or always clampless 14

Remalks

Typical of this species are its distinctly acutely umbonate, granulose-squa-

mulose pil€us, its occurrence on wet, sandy soils, the largs, irregula y shaped spores, and the poorly differentiated caulocystidia only on the very apex of the stipe. The specios is very variable. Therefore, KUYPER (1986) distinguished four varieties: var, rhacodes with in part catenate cheilocystidia, var. regula/,s with relat.vely broad spores with an average O-value of 1.8, var, bcera (No. 33) with spores havinq a O-value of 2.1-2,9, and var. helobia described here. we include var rhacodes (No. 50) as a separate sp€ci6s, since it distinctly diffels microscopically from the others.

Remarkg Although the color of ihe pileus ofthis speci€s is v€ry variable, rangino from gray-lilac through dingy ocher to gray-brown, and the basal bulb can be almost abs€nt to distinctly marginate, this species is easy to recognize in the field by its typicalfarinaceous odor and taste. While this feature often occurs in the families lrbholomataceae and Entolomataceae, to our knowledge it is found in only a very few species of Colthar,'./s, e. g. in C- (Phleg.) flavovirqs Hry. and C. (Myx.) buwceus Hry. Coftinaius clionysee can be confused with C- glaucopus var olivaceus (No. 211), which also occurs in conilerous forests near Picea, but lacks a farinaceous odor and taste and has elliptical, rather than citrif orm, spores.

Remark! lfone is not careful

in judging the KOH reaction while identifying this species,

one could incorrectly arrive d Cotlinarius (Tel-) sinapl2ans Mos., which likewise has a dry pileus and occurs with green alderc. Howev€r, the latter has a hygrophanous pileus and a brown-black KOH reaction on the pileus and flesh, which unequivocally places it in subgenus lelamonia. C- kuehnei is an atypical species of Phlegmacium. lts dry pileus and the structurs of the pp would actually fii the subgenus Ssrceocybe better

Remarks The yollow KOH reaction on th6 fl6sh means that this species should be sought in sec, Vaiecolores. Characteristic of C. /a/gus are the pale frbs., which have pale lilac tones only wh6n young, the absence of an earthy odor, and its occunence in hardwood forests near Fagus- Coftina us nemorensis (No. 222) belongs to the same circle of forms and occurs in the same habitats. but it has less pale and more strongly violel fllcs,. an unpleasant musty€anhy odor, and somewhat larger spores. Corliranls anserhus (No. 187) is somewhat similar, but the flesh does not have a yellow KOH reaction. The related species c. yarlecolor {No. 246) occurs in montane spruce forests. lt often grows in troops or fairy rings, ats pileus is brown-violet with a violet margin when young aod is rather dark red-brown when old, and its odor is strongly earthy.
