Abstract	Post-mining sites represent important secondary refuges for invertebrates as well as for fungal species, often providing biodiversity hotspots in homogenous landscapes. Our study focuses on assemblages of carabid beetles (Coleoptera: Carabidae), spiders (Araneae), and macromycetes (Fungi: Basidiomycota, Ascomycota) in abandoned kaolin quarries and their immediate surroundings in the Pilsen region, Czech Republic. We studied mined and unmined sites and the impact of past mining, the vegetation composition of the sites, cover of herb and tree layers, and the amount of dead wood on the target groups. In total, we confirm the occurrence of 54 carabid beetle, 147 spider, and 139 macromycetes species, including several Red-listed species across the given groups. Carabid beetles and spiders, as well as the all Red-listed species, tend to prefer early successional open habitats. The fungal species displayed affinity to dead wood. Our results indicate that not only the invertebrates, but also macromycetes species prefer open post-mining sites, which are a substitute for endangered habitats such as natural wetlands or xerophilic grasslands.

Abstract	In the present paper, we select a neotype for Tremella cerasi and prove that it is conspecific with Ditangium insigne (the genus type of Ditangium). We argue that Ditangium should be restored as a correct genus for T. cerasi, while the currently used generic name Craterocolla is to be treated as its younger synonym. Morphological, ecological and genetic variability of Ditangium cerasi is discussed, and two other Ditangium species are described—D. altaicum, sp. nov. and D. incarnatum, comb. nov. In addition, Exidia fulva is combined in Globulisebacina.

Abstract	Sequencing of the ribosomal ITS region was used to resolve the relationship among USA collections of the morphological species Fomitiporia robusta. F. robusta corresponding to European collections was not found and its occurrence in the USA is regarded as questionable. Birch-growing fungus from mid-western and eastern United States known as Phellinus bakeri is a closely related polypore, but because of the absence of typical F. robusta here, it should be considered a separate species. Oak-growing pileate fungus from the south-eastern USA, also known as Fomes calkinsii, is a distinct species, rather distant from the European F. robusta. New combinations Fomitiporia bakeri and F. calkinsii are proposed. Notes on other similar species are provided.

Abstract	Bjerkandera is a worldwide polypore genus characterized by the pileate grayish basidiomes, often becoming darker when dried, and monomitic hyphal system. Tyromyces atroalbus is a rare Brazilian species re-discovered in recent surveys in São Paulo State. Even though it has been placed in Tyromyces, it presents a characteristic darkening of basidiomes when touched or dried, a feature absent in other species of the genus. In order to understand the evolutionary relations of T. atroalbus with Bjerkandera and Tyromyces and find its proper phylogenetic placement, morphological and molecular studies were carried out. Specimens from Brazil and Mexico were studied morphologically and selected specimens were used for DNA sequence analyses of internal transcribed spacer (ITS) and large subunit (LSU) of ribosomal RNA genes and translation elongation factor 1-alpha genes. Type specimens of T. atroalbus and T. humeana were also morphologically examined to confirm their possible synonymy as well as to confirm the identity of the recent collections. Molecular and morphological characters of T. atroalbus place the species in Bjerkandera. Our results also revealed that the specimens from Brazil and Mexico represent two distinct species. Therefore, the new combination Bjerkandera atroalba and description of new species B. centroamericana is published. In addition, the type study of T. atroalbus and T. humeana supports their synonymy.

Abstract	Taxonomy of the rare polypore Dichomitus albidofuscus is revised and discussed. Examination of extensive herbarium material as well as rDNA sequencing revealed that this species is alien to the heterogenous genus Dichomitus but is very similar to another rare polypore, Donkioporia expansa. Consequently, a new combination Donkioporia albidofusca is proposed. An emended description of Donkioporia is provided to also accommodate annual species with light yellowish brown vegetative hyphae with arboriform branched ends.

Abstract	Nomenclatural type definitions are one of the most important concepts in biological nomenclature. Being physical objects that can be re-studied by other researchers, types permanently link taxonomy (an artificial agreement to classify biological diversity) with nomenclature (an artificial agreement to name biological diversity). Two proposals to amend the International Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICN), allowing DNA sequences alone (of any region and extent) to serve as types of taxon names for voucherless fungi (mainly putative taxa from environmental DNA sequences), have been submitted to be voted on at the 11th International Mycological Congress (Puerto Rico, July 2018). We consider various genetic processes affecting the distribution of alleles among taxa and find that alleles may not consistently and uniquely represent the species within which they are contained. Should the proposals be accepted, the meaning of nomenclatural types would change in a fundamental way from physical objects as sources of data to the data themselves. Such changes are conducive to irreproducible science, the potential typification on artefactual data, and massive creation of names with low information content, ultimately causing nomenclatural instability and unnecessary work for future researchers that would stall future explorations of fungal diversity. We conclude that the acceptance of DNA sequences alone as types of names of taxa, under the terms used in the current proposals, is unnecessary and would not solve the problem of naming putative taxa known only from DNA sequences in a scientifically defensible way. As an alternative, we highlight the use of formulas for naming putative taxa (candidate taxa) that do not require any modification of the ICN.

Article: Pileate Fomitiporia species in the USA. New combinations Fomitiporia calkinsii and F. bakeri

Abstract	Sequencing of the ribosomal ITS region was used to resolve the relationship among USA collections of the morphological species Fomitiporia robusta. F. robusta corresponding to European collections was not found and its occurrence in the USA is regarded as questionable. Birch-growing fungus from mid-western and eastern United States known as Phellinus bakeri is a closely related polypore, but because of the absence of typical F. robusta here, it should be considered a separate species. Oak-growing pileate fungus from the south-eastern USA, also known as Fomes calkinsii, is a distinct species, rather distant from the European F. robusta.
