Abstract

Abstract The informal group of Basidiomycetes commonly known as Gasteromycetes, are now included in the sub-classes Agaricomycetidae and Phallomycetidae. These fungi are characterized mainly by distinctive enclosed fruiting bodies with a gleba that stores spores until maturity. For Puerto Rico, there is no official inventory of Gasteromycetes. To fulfill this need, a study was conducted within five different areas at the United States Fish and Wildlife Service Refuge in Cabo Rojo, Puerto Rico. Mature specimens were collected during twenty-eight fieldtrips between January, 2016 and July, 2017 from areas under three different conservation strategies. Throughout the visits there was a pattern of occurrence of various genera consistent with the season. Bovista, Cyathus, Rhizopogon, Tulostoma, and two unknown species were collected exclusively during the rainy season. Calvatia and Disciseda occurred only during the dry season. The presence of saprophytic and ectomycorrhizal Gasteromycetes is indicative of the success of the different conservation/restauration strategies implemented at the United States Fish and Wildlife Service Refuge in Cabo Rojo.

Gasteromyces是栖息地保护的无声帮手吗？

摘要担子菌纲的非正式类群，通常被称为Gasteromycetes，现在被分为琼脂纲和Phallomycetidae。这些真菌的特征主要是独特的封闭子实体，子实体具有储存孢子直至成熟的潜孔。对于波多黎各来说，没有官方的Gasteromycetes清单。为了满足这一需求，在波多黎各Cabo Rojo的美国鱼类和野生动物管理局保护区的五个不同区域进行了一项研究。在2016年1月至2017年7月的28次实地考察中，从三种不同保护策略下的区域采集了成熟的标本。在整个访问过程中，各种属的出现模式与季节一致。Bovista、Cyathus、Rhizopogon、Tulstoma和两个未知物种仅在雨季采集。Calvatia和Disciseda只发生在旱季。腐生和外生菌根Gasteromyces的存在表明了在Cabo Rojo的美国鱼类和野生动物管理局保护区实施的不同保护/恢复策略的成功。
