    Abstract Gymnopilus stabilis (Fungi, Agaricales), a very rare species of unclear identity described from Europe, was revised using morphological data and phylogenetic affiliations derived from ITS rDNA sequences. Collections from the Czech Republic, Germany, and Russia plus reference vouchers of related or similar species were studied. Gymnopilus stabilis sequences form a moderately supported but distinct clade in a lineage containing G. swaticus and a Gymnopilus collection of unknown identity from the USA. The G. stabilis lineage is sister to the G. sapineus clade, a group of species with low divergence in ITS rDNA region. This whole, well-supported group is clearly distinct from the lineage of G. penetrans, a species with which G. stabilis has sometimes been confused. Morphological characters of a recent, well-documented Czech collection of G. stabilis are described in detail and compared with the German and Russian ones. A literature review confirms that the taxonomic concept of G. stabilis has not substantially changed over time. In order to consolidate the taxonomy and nomenclature of this enigmatic species, lectotype and epitype are designated here for G. stabilis, and key diagnostic characters are highlighted. The taxonomic concepts of G. sapineus and G. penetrans are further specified based on well-documented, sequenced reference collections. Moreover, the position of G. hybridus is briefly discussed. The identification of several GenBank entries of G. stabilis, G. sapineus, and G. penetrans is revised in order to fix species concepts in this fascinating group of wood-decaying fungi.

    Abstract The species richness and composition of macrofungi on huge fallen trunks of silver fir (Abies alba) were monitored during a case study in the well-preserved Boubínský prales virgin forest in Czechia. A detailed survey of all macrofungal groups recorded 200 species on 30 trunks within the diameter range of 85–190 cm. This number is very high in the overall context and includes many rare and threatened species. The species-richest groups were corticioids and fleshy saprotrophic fungi. Individual trunks were inhabited by 4–33 species. The species richness was negatively correlated with trunk decay and positively with bark cover, moss cover and trunk length. Simultaneously, it was negatively correlated with increasing time since tree fall, time since tree death and the way of fall, namely its category ‘broken’. Species composition was significantly influenced by decay, bark cover, moss cover, and, to a lesser degree, also by canopy cover, time since fall and time since death. The best trunks in terms of mycobiota rarity and nature conservation were those which died a long time ago but fell to the ground only recently. They have gone through a long phase of slow decay and gradual succession in standing position. As a result, they are inhabited by many distinctive fungi, especially those preferring natural forests. Durandiella gallica, Hohenbuehelia josserandii, Panellus violaceofulvus, Phellinus pouzarii and Pseudoplectania melaena can be considered almost exclusive fir specialists. All these fir-associated fungal species are immediately threatened by the gradual disappearance of firs resulting mainly from ungulate overpopulation, requiring the urgent implementation of appropriate conservation measures. A list of fungi characteristic of wood of silver fir and Norway spruce is presented.

    Abstract During the last years we have witnessed progressive evolution of preparation of acenes with length up to dodecacene by on-surface synthesis in ultra-high vacuum or generation of acenes up to decacene in solid matrices at low temperatures. While these protocols with very specific conditions produce the acenes in amount of few molecules, the strategies leading to the acenes in large quantities dawdle behind. Only recently and after 70 years of synthetic attempts, heptacene has been prepared in bulk phase. However, the preparative scale synthesis of higher homologues still remains a formidable challenge. Here we report the preparation and characterisation of nonacene and show its excellent thermal and in-time stability.

    Abstract Species richness and composition of macrofungi on huge fallen trunks of spruce (Picea abies) were monitored at a model old-growth forest locality, Boubínský prales virgin forest (Czech Republic). Using detailed survey of all macrofungal groups based on fruit bodies, 168 species were recorded on 33 trunks with a diameter of 100–150 cm, which is a very high species richness. Individual trunks were inhabited by 6–32 species. The number of species per trunk was positively correlated with increasing tree cover, medium decay stages, and decreasing altitude. The species-richest groups were resupinate fungi with annual basidiomata and fleshy saprotrophic fungi. Species composition on particular trunks was significantly influenced by percentage of bark cover, altitude, and decay stage and to a lesser degree also by percentage of trunk contact with the soil and cover of mosses, trees, and shrubs. Resupinate fungi and fleshy saprotrophs were distributed along the entire decay gradient. Most polypores prevailed in early decay stages. Mycorrhizal agarics were associated with the latest stages. The presence of dominant species Fomitopsis pinicola had a low effect on the composition of other fungal species on the same trunk, whereas Phellinus nigrolimitatus had a significant effect. The monitoring revealed 71% of species known at the locality from spruce, and 45 species new to the locality, especially those with inconspicuous fruit bodies. The previously published field survey was more efficient for capturing rare species with larger fruit bodies. Both methods should be combined during mycobiota inventories.

    Abstract Numerous recent data on occurrence, substrates, and habitats of the rare saproxylic corticioid fungal species, Kneiffiella curvispora, were collected in order to describe its ecological demands in detail. Based on our records, the species prefers medium to strongly decayed, several decades dead, large trunks of Abies alba (less frequently also Picea abies) situated in mixed (sub)montane old-growth forests in which Fagus sylvatica dominates and there is sufficient host substrate at altitudes of 500–1220 m and avoids man-influenced forest habitats. Shady and slowly drying places on trunks with strongly decayed wood (cavities, undersides) are favoured types of microhabitat. Fungal (several times also bryophyte and lichen) communities on trunks inhabited by K. curvispora are described with emphasis on co-occurring species of conservation value. In total, 167 species were identified on 30 trunks with presence of K. curvispora. A total of 23 species are red-listed. Generally common species (Calocera viscosa, Lactarius subdulcis, Mycena stipata, Galerina hypnorum and Physisporinus sanguinolentus) were the most frequent on the occupied trunks. No evidence was found that K. curvispora requires a prior presence of other fungal species in the succession process on decaying trunks. The distribution of the species in Central Europe is summarized. The first collection from Slovakia is presented as well as several new localities of the species in the Czech Republic. The gradual decline of fir (and spruce) in favour of the spreading beech represents the most serious long-term threat to the species populations. The first phylogenetic tree containing complete ITS was calculated to show the placement of K. curvispora in the current phylogenetic tree of Kneiffiella.

    Abstract After a revision of Kneiffiella specimens from European old-growth forests in Czech Republic, Slovakia, Croatia and Poland, Kneiffiella altaica was found to have a western distribution far from its type locality at Teletskoye lake in Altai mountains in Russia. Comparing further material from USA, we found a similar species, Kneiffiella subaltaica, which we describe as new to science based on molecular inference of the ITS and 28S DNA sequence and morphology.

    Abstract The diversity of stipitate hydnoid fungi of the genera Bankera, Hydnellum, Phellodon and Sarcodon was studied at 92 microlocalities in the Czech Republic in 2010–2014. Their vegetation was documented by means of phytosociological relevés. In total, 26 hydnoid species were found. Individual microlocalities hosted 1–6 hydnoid species. Frequent co-occurrence of certain species pairs or groups was revealed. Multivariate analyses were used to test community patterns between hydnoids and vegetation, divided into layers and plant functional groups. We confirmed the hypothesis that vegetation layers and functional groups have different effects on the individual hydnoid species. The occurrence of hydnoids is conditional especially on the dominant tree species. The main vegetation gradient of hydnoid sites is represented by the proportion of deciduous versus coniferous trees. Smaller trees in shrub and herb layers do not play a significant role except for spruce. Some hydnoids occur at sites with a species-rich herb layer, whereas others occur at sites with ericoid heaths and lichens, wet sites covered with hygrophilous mosses, or bare soils only covered by litter. Possible factors favouring hydnoids and causing their accumulation at small sites are outlined, e.g. facilitation, phylogenetic conservatism and alteration of tree dominants during succession. Habitat conditions creating “hydnoid site quality” are summarized including the character of the Czech hydnoid-richest sites.

    Abstract Hygrophorus roseodiscoideus Bon & Chevassut is a poorly known species so far reported from Mediterranean Quercus ecosystems of western Europe. The lack of reference sequences for this species hampers its reliable identification by mycologists and fungal ecologists in the DNA era. We here fix this issue by epitypifying H. roseodiscoideus with a sequenced collection from the Aix-en-Provence area, where the species has been described from. We also report several sequenced collections from central European countries and Lebanon, that considerably extend the species' biogeographical distribution. Based on our findings, H. roseodiscoideus can be characterized as a morphologically distinct thermophilous species, associated with oaks on calcareous soils, distributed along the northern coasts of the Mediterranean, from Spain to the Levant, but also colonizing the warmest Quercus woodlands of central Europe.

    Abstract The taxonomy and phylogeny of the hydropoid clade (genera Clitocybula s.l., Megacollybia, Leucoinocybe gen. nov., Hydropus, Trogia, Gerronema, Porotheleum and Lignomphalia gen. nov.) in Europe is studied using morphological and molecular approaches; the first three genera in detail including all known European species. Only two European species remain in Clitocybula s.str., Clitocybula lacerata and Clitocybula familia. The European C. lacerata is a species complex which should be treated as C. lacerata agg. at the current state of knowledge. A neotype originating from type area was designated to fix the application of the name. The presence of American species Clitocybula abundans in Europe is insufficiently proved. "Clitocybula dryadicola ˮ belongs to the genus Hydropus, and Clitocybula tilieti has an unclear systematic position. The results showed that Megacollybia and Leucoinocybe represent independent genera separated from Clitocybula. The genus Leucoinocybe is validly published with two European species, Leucoinocybe lenta and Leucoinocybe taniae. "Clitocybula flavoaurantia" proved to be conspecific with the latter species. The genus Lignomphalia is published for "Pseudoomphalina lignicola", a lignicolous omphalinoid species. The Indian "Clitocybula sulcata" is transferred to Leucoinocybe and "Clitocybula atrialba" to Gerronema. The first European records of Megacollybia marginata are published.

    Abstract The development of functional organic molecules requires structures of increasing size and complexity, which are typically obtained by the covalent coupling of smaller building blocks. Herein, with the aid of high-resolution scanning tunneling microscopy/spectroscopy and density functional theory, the coupling of a sterically demanded pentacene derivative on Au(111) into fused dimers connected by non-benzenoid rings was studied. The diradical character of the products was tuned according to the coupling section. In particular, the antiaromaticity of cyclobutadiene as the coupling motif and its position within the structure play a decisive role in shifting the natural orbital occupancies toward a stronger diradical electronic character. Understanding these structure-property relations is desirable not only for fundamental reasons but also for designing new complex and functional molecular structures.
