Miscellaneous phylogenetic trees
I'll use this entry to upload, and occasionally update, various phylogenetic trees for New Zealand fungi.
The first is an ITS+LSU+Tef tree for the genus Pluteus

MycoBlog
This blog is about all things mycological, it is great for small articles that don't need to go into the member's reports section. Anyone who has signed up as a user of this website can post here.
A note from Jerry - Currently (Nov. 2012) all the entries here are mine. Don't let this put you off adding entries. I use this site to make available work I don't intend to publish (in this form at least) and which otherwise wouldn't be widely available but which might be of interest. The entries are not peer reviewed so please also use the feedback facility to stimulate discussion.
A multi-locus phylogenetic tree of the suborder Tricholomatineae
In a recent paper (https://doi.org/10.1007/s13225-023-00527-2) the authors carried out a major re-organization of Clitocybe-like species, and the work has been long overdue. Here is a bit of background and a phylogenetic tree to show why.
Mycological Notes 43: The Clavariaceae of New Zealand
These notes are a summary of the present state of knowledge of the club and coral fungi in the family Clavariaceae in New Zealand. The last treatment of the group was back in 1988 and lots of things have changed since then. As usual for fungal groups we have a dominance of undescribed species and older names that have been used incorrectly. The notes are accompanied by a separate file containing the most recent multi-gene phylogeny for the group including sequences of New Zealand material.
Phylogenetic Tree for the Gomphales
The order Gomphales contains the colourful coral fungi in the genus Ramaria, as well as some of our unusual and uncommon species like the toothed Beenakia dacostae and the 'gomphoid' species of Gloeocantharellus. The coral fungi were last revised in New Zealand by Ron Petersen in 1988 (The clavarioid fungi of New Zealand. DSIR Science Information Publishing). That was pre-molecular era work and species concepts have changed over time.
10 Years of Barcoding NZ Basidios
This is a presentation I was to give at the 2023 Fungal Foray in Rotorua. Unfortunately, I wasn't able to make the foray.
DIY DNA PCR
This article is a bit different to my usual Mycological Notes.
Mycological Notes 42: A phylogenetic study of NZ wax-caps
FUNNZ 2021 Colloquium Abstract: New Zealand wax-caps are distinctive and frequently observed fungi described in the genera Hygrophorus, Gliophorus, Humidicutis, Hygrocybe and ‘Camarophyllus’. They are especially common in wetter regions and in non-mycorrhizal forests. The number of described species has increased since Greta Stevenson’s initial survey in 1962, but their phylogenetic relationships have remained unstudied, and there has been no revision of the group since Egon Horak’s monograph in 1990 (which included 57 taxa).
Mycological Notes 41: the Phallales (Stinkhorns) in New Zealand
The genera included here are Ileodicytyon, Anthurus, Aseroe, Clathrus, Pseudocolus, Claustula, Lysurus, Mutinus, Protubera & Phallobata.
Mycological Notes 40: the family Bolbitiaceae in New Zealand
The genera included here are Conocybe, Bolbitius, Pholiotina, Descolea, Descomyces & Timgrovea
Mycological Notes 39: Cystodermataceae sensu lato
The genera included here are Cystoderma, Squamanita, Cystodermella and Ripartitella.
