The German romantic philosophy, represented mainly by SCHELnot only affected art and litterature but also science. Many scholars, especiaIly biologists, were fascinated by its speculative spirit and magnificent theory of the world. ELIAS FRIES, the Swedish systematic botanist and mycologist, (1794-1878) gives an example of this. This is a study of his systematic theories and their dependence upon the speculative natural philosophy. Nature was understood by the romantic natural philosophy as a spiritual entirety, built up of polar forces in constant development. Every individual part of the univers e mirrored the entirety, constituted a microcosmos, which contained something of the qualities of the whole. Because the world was spiritual and because man was also spiritual he could through his powers of reason explore it, and because the part mirrored the whole the study of one single part could lead to knowledge of the whole. Therefore the romantic philosophy could promise its supporters · a penetrating knowledge of the world, an absolute certainty concerning the principles of thought, LING, *) Akademisk avhandling.

FRIESIA VIII -1- - 2 - which also could appeal to other scientists, especially when their own research rested on dim principles. A fieid, which during the century before DARWIN was characterized to a great extent by a theoreticai uncertainty was the field of systematic botany. As early as during the 18th century many researchers strived after "the natural system", in which the plants would be classified according to their "real affinity", not according to external and artificial grounds. Most botanists had, however, a very dim idea of the meaning of affinity. They usually did not concern themselves with the phylogenetic affinity, because it was generally supposed that in our time just as many different species existed as were created in the beginning. Many scholars identified affinity with "resemblance", but it was usually vaguely felt that there was a deeper reason for it, a feeling which was expressed in the theories about God's plan for creation and in the opinion that the forms were grouped around types, Platonic ideas, which were reflected in different degrees of clarity by the different individuals. The method of research was also vague. The supporters of the natural system principally favoured the empirical method, but unconsciously they often resorted to logical deductions and subjective evaluations. The romantic biologists were, however, conscious of theory. Their plant system was built on a thoroughly comtemplated conception of the world and a determined idea of the scientific method. This is apparent through an investigation of the German romantic biologist L. OKEN'S natural system, published in Lehrbuch der N aturphilosophie in 1810, as well as of C. G. NEES VON ESENBECK'S Handbuch der Botanik) published in 1820, and System der Pilze und Schwiimme) published 1817. CHAPTER II. The literary romanticism did not appear in Sweden until about 1810. Before this time there was no romanticism in Swedish science. ELIAS FRIES hardly encountered romanticism until he starte d his studies at the univers ity in 1811. But even before that time, in the pre-romantic cultural atmosphere, there were phenomena, which could facilitate his later acceptance of the romantic philosophy: the worshipping of nature, and the religious currents such as Herrnhutism and Swedenborgianism, which had Platonic mysticism in common with romanticism. Natural theology ("physicotheology") according to whose doctrine the study of nature proved God's omni- - 3 - potence, wisdom and goodness, could also be developed into a sincere philosophy of life, related to romanticism. A few Swedish naturalists were Swedenborgianists and almost all of the botanists who were active around the year 1800 were familiar with and supporters of natural theology. FRIES'S father was a minister, interested in botany, and had been brought up in WOLFF'S philosophy, where the physicotheological arguments played an important part. During his school years in Vaxjo (1803-1811) ELIAS FRIES came into contact with different forms of pre-romanticism. CHAPTER III. As a background for FRIES'S activities a survey of the entire romantic current in Swedish science during the decade 1810 is given. Because the extreme romanticism in Swedish literature primarily appeared in Stockholm and Uppsala (in the middle of Sweden) one could also expect to find romantic science there. It is also true that there was an interest in speculative scientific research in the literary romantic circles, primarily in Uppsala, where especially CHR. STENHAMMAR and J. H. WALLMAN, both best known as botanists, are worth noticing. But also in Lund in the south of Sweden, where FRIES resided during his univers ity studies, there were representatives in speculative science. Most important of these is C. A. AGARDH, the famous algologist, professor of botany from 1812. He was FRIES'S tea cher and counsellor and it can be conjectured that he was very important in the growth of FRIES'S romanticism. During FRIES'S three undergraduate years, 1811-1814, there are, however, still no traces of romantic influence to be found. CHAPTER IV. In 1814 FRIES was appointed docens in botany (without pay) and he wrote his first scientific papers in systematic botany and phytogeography. He was aIready interested in the natural system. In the summer 1815 he has visited by WALLMAN. They became friends, and because W ALLMAN intended to publish a Swedish flora the following year, FRIES helped him with the fungi. In their correspondence during the spring 1816 they discussed OKEN'S plant system, and FRIES then appeared to be a confessor of romanticism- but with some hesitancy. In the printed flora the philosophic premises were, however, carefully 1* -4concealed. In 1819 FRIES and CHR. STENHAMMAR began to correspond, which was of great importance for FRIES' continued development. Toward the end of 1820 he published the first part of his most famous work, Systema mycologicum) which is still the basis for the nomenclature of many major groups of fungi. In the introduction of this work he was extremely speculative, primarily joining OKEN and NEES VON ESENBECK. The system of fungi is based on a metaphysical conception of the world: everything is supposedly built on four principles, the elements, the different proportions of which explain all the differences between the products of nature. The existence of fungi depends, apart from the elements (primarily water, air and the components of fire: light and heat), on a special force: nisus reproductivus. The proportionally varied influence of these factors is the basic reason for the different appearences of the fungi's fruit bodies and conditions in this way the systemization. FRIES distinguishes four different fruit types and creates therefore four classes of fungi, each class consisting of four orders, each order with four tribes or main genera. In each group there is a "center", where the combination of elements, which is typical of the group, appears most clearly, and "radii" , whose forms border on other groups. All groups are principally built up the same, and each form in a group reflects forms in the other groups. The forms within one gro up are connected by "affinity" , and plants from different groups, which resemble one another, are connected by "analogy" . These are two very important conceptions in FRIES' systemization. These terms were adopted by the English entomologist W. S. MAC LEAY (see his essay, which is mentioned in the reference list*) and were later adopted by several foreign biologists. CHAPTER V. FRIES'S most roman tic period occured during the first half of the 1820's. In letters to his friends he drew up a speculative system over the whole vegetable king dom in close connection with OKEN'S ideas, but in 1825, when he published the part which contained the lower cryptogams (in Systema orbis vegetabilis) ) he had aIready to a great extent freed himself of his dependence to OKEN. His system was still *) W. S. MAC LEAY: Remarks on the identity of certain general laws which have been lately observed to regulate the natural distribution of insects and fungi. - Trans. Linnean Soc. of London, vol. 14, pt. 1, London 1823. -5built upon a successive quartering, but it did not originate from OKEN'S theory of the four elements, but was built upon a logical dichotomy. (An English account of the theories in this thesis is given by J. LINDLEY; see the reference list. *) In 1820 FRIES was on bad terms with his former teacher AGARDH. Their personal disagreements were the background for scientific polemics. Above all they were disputing the usefulness of logic in systematic botany. AGARDH expressed an opinion that the logical rules were only human fictions, FRIES on the other hand vindicated in Systema orbis vegetabilis that the laws of nature followed the rules of logic. In spite of the fact that both botanists were romanticists they developed two very different botanical systems. CHAPTER VI. FRIES'S next large systematic work was Lichenographia europaea reformata} published in 1831. Many speculative elements from earlier works can be found here, but in spite of them there is a new and more "realistic" spirit in this book. FRIES gives human reason a more modest place than the empiric observation, and he no longer quotes any romantic philosophers, but seeks support for his opinions from FRANCIS BACON and other clas si c, generally accepted authorities. The development toward this standpoint can be followed in pamphlets and statements during the period 1825-1831, and can als o to a certain extent be explained through personal circumstances. CHAPTER VII. In 1834 FRIES was appointed professor in Uppsala, where he remained until his death. In 1835 he published a provincial flora, Flora scanica} where he for the first time published his system over the entire vegetable kingdom. In several small dissertations and other papers he presented the principles for this system, but he never wrote any collected and detailled representation of it. The system was still formed on a regular number of plant groups within each larger group. He also kept his idealistic theory about centers, the forms of which most clearly reflected the "idea" of the group, and * ) J. LINDLEY: Some account of the spherical and numerical system of nature of M. vol. 68, 1826. ELIAS FRIES. - The philosophical magazine and journal, - 6 - radii, the forms of which gradually bordered on other groups ; the theory of the difference between analogy and affinity and the logi cal classification is als o to be found here. But these theories fight against more "realistic" ideals, and the demand for empiric observation is growing stronger. Re no longer refers to a speculative theory of life as a foundation for his system, and he soon shows an open contempt for the German "Naturphilosophie" from which his own ideas once derived. As early as the 1820's there were traces of biologi cal vitalism in FRIES: he was of the opinion that life was a special force, higher than the inorganic forces. This vitalism became very clear in Lichenographia 1831, and occupied a prominent position in his concept of the world during his years in Uppsala. FRIES'S gro wing hostility toward speculations is closely connected with vitalism: because life was something higher, something divine, man could not, even with his ability to reason, penetrate it; only through a humble study of its different revelations could it be possibIe to trace its mysteries. Like many other romantic biologists FRIES had from an early stage nurtured a doctrine of evolution. Like most romanticists he did not at first believe that one species could develop into another, but he thought that all species at one time had been imperfect, and that they then separately had risen to higher perfection, and had become more and more similar to the idea which they reflected. During the 1830's and 1840's he began instead to assume that every genus had existed from the beginning, but that species within the genus could have developed through ramification from one single basic form. Re could, however, never accept R. F. LINK'S theory*) from the 1820's that man evolved from an ape, and he was equally unable to accept DARWIN'S opinion that all organisms have developed from a few original forms. As an idealist he was frightened by the materialism of Darwinism, but he also feared that the botanists would limit the number of the presently accepted species because of DARWIN'S theory of heredity. CHAPTER VIII. Concerning his general view of nature FRIES could, during his Uppsala period, be compared with many well known biologists from the middle of the 19th century. Four German botanists, for whom *) H. F. LINK: Die Urwelt und das Altertum, erHiutert durch die Natur- kunde. I-II. 1821-1822, Berlin. - 7 - FRIES especiaIly expressed admiration, are mentioned. In the works of the descriptive botanist WILHELM KOCH he found the same demands, i. e. that the marks of distinction between the species should be taken from the living plant, and not from dried out herbarium specimens, as he himself expressed. In the same way as FRIES L. REICHENBACH built a system upon the romantic "Naturphilosophie", developed a doctrine concerning the degrees of metamorphosis of plants, which FRIES had als o done, and adopted the terms analogy and affinity. M. SCHLEIDEN, the famous discoverer of the cell as the fundamental element of construction of plants, also showed, in spite of his harsh opposition to speculative botany, an inclination for a philosophical founda tion in science, and confessed tha t there was something divine in nature. ALEXANDER BRAUN formed an idealistic and vitalistic physiology of plants, which FRIES held in high esteem. An idealistic view of nature, free from the worst exaggerations of romanticism, als o distinguished such prominent researchers as GEOFFROY ST. HILAffiE, RICHARD OWEN and LOUIS AGASSIZ. In the general Swedish cultural atmosphere, as well as among contemporary Swedish scientists, the same spirit was also predominant. CHAPTER IX. Finally the relations between FRIES and two of his followers, N. J. ANDERsSON and H. VON POST, are being examined. ANDERSSON later adhered to DARWIN and J. D. HOOKER and was perhaps the first in Sweden to adopt the modern phylo-genetic conception of affinity. VON POST, skilled botanist, but primarily known as geologist, shared FRlEs's anti-materialism and carried his idealistic concept of nature farther in many respects. Until his death FRIES kept his vision of nature as a harmonious unity, governed by adivine reason, not by the struggle for existence. En indgående recension af fil. dr.

In a previous pap er (Friesia VI (1961), 291-309) the author has given descriptions of some unusual Agarics which during the last years ha ve been collected in the provinces Vastergotland, Halland, Bohuslan and Varmland in the southwestern part and in the province Småland in the southern part of Sweden. In the present paper the author has added further species from the mentioned area. Certain Agarics collected earlier have als o been identified and some of these are here reported. The following species are reported for the first time from Sweden: Mycena alba (BRES.) KUHN. (Omphalia alba BRES.), M. margaritispora J. E. LANGE, Pluteus Thomsonii (BERK. & BR.) DENNIS (P. cinereus QuEL.), Rhodophyllus (Eecilia) rusticoides (GILLET) J. E. LANGE, R. (Leptonia) fulvus (ORTON), (Leptonia Andrianae BRES. sensu F. H. MøLLER, non BRES.), R. (Nolanea) araneosus QuEL., R. (Nolanea) xylophilus J. E. LANGE, Hebeloma pusillum J. E. LANGE, Phaeocollybia lateraria A. H. SMITH, Cortinarius (Hydrocybe) crassifolius VELEN., Conocybe Mairei KUHN., Lactarius lacunarum ROMAGN. ex HORA and Leptoglossum Rickenii SING. ex HORA (Omphalia muralis (Sow. ex FR.) QuEL. sensu RICKEN, non FR. New records of a number of uncommon species are also given. The identification of these Agarics were based on my descriptions of the species in the fresh state. Microscopic examinations of the dried fruit-bodies were made on crushed mounts in ammoniacal Congo-8- - 9 - red, with or without addition of phloxine with ca. 3 % KOH or in Melzer's reagent as a test for amyloidity. Unfortunately many dried Agarics preserved in different herbaria are practically useless because descriptions of the fresh fungi were not made and it is then often impossible to determine them la ter with security. The collection numbers cited and the photographs are those of the writer. 1. Mycena alba (BRES.) KUHN. Syn. Omphalia alba BRES.

This fungus is evidently RhodophyZlus araneosus QuEL. as described and figured by L. and H. DøsSING in Friesia (1961). QUELET, Flore Mycologique de la France etc. (1888) does, however, not mention the conspicuous cheilocystidia, the sometimes reddish tinge near the base of the stem and sta tes tha t his fungus has narrow gills and is gro wing in woods of conifers. KURNER & ROMAGNESI, Fl. anal. (1953) have described the stem as "orne d'une forte houppe de poils raides, gris ou jaunes, ± rougissantes" which is not in accordance with the original diagnosis.

C a p about 8-15 cm across, somewhat convex, then flattened, slightly umbilicate, thin, brittle, paIe yellowish-brown with brownish striae and a darker spot in the centre, hygrophanous, pallid and shining as dry; g i Il s whitish at first, then dirty yellowish, finally rose-coloured, rather crowded, broad, thin, widest in the middle, almost free; s t e m about 2.5 cm X 1-1.5 mm, equal, brittle, solid, dingy yellowish-brown, apex pallid, smooth; f l e s h thin, sordid. S p o r e s 8-11 X 7-8,.u; cystidia absent. A good illustration is given by J. E. LANGE, Fl. Agar. Dan. pI. 79 H. The species is rather uncommon in this area. l have gathered a species which resembles this fungus but it differs mainly in ha ving cystidia on the edges of the gills. l think it may be R. (Leptonia) tenellus FAVRE but prefer to await further collections to be sure of that. -14 - Fig. 1. Rhodophyllus (Nolan ea) papillatus (BRES.) J. E. LANGE.

Basidia 4-spored; cystidia absent; hyphae of cap cuticle 7-15p diam. -15 My fungus agrees very well with the deseription given by BRESADOLA, leon. Mye. pl. 583.1 in having "lamellae ex albide luridis earneo-fuseae" . Aeeording to KUHNER & ROMAGNESI, Flore Anal., 189, N olanea clandestina as figured by BRESADOLA, leon. Mye. pI. 585,2 is more like N. papillatus BRES. The gills as described by him for N. clandestina "e griseo-umbrinis purpuraseentes" is, however, in accordance with the deseription given by FRIES "ex umbrine purpuraseentes" . The species is also described and figured by KONRAD & MAUBLANC pl. 180,2 and by J. E. LANGE, Fl. Agar. Dan. pl. 78 D. LANGE writes, however: "Gills originally dirty brown" whieh does not agree with BRESADOLA'S diagnosis. This species seems to be uneommon in the area investigated by me. 11.

I have ealier (Acta Horti Gotoburgensis (1958) collected this small Agaric from Rya skog. It is readily recognizable by the more or less dull violet colour all over; c a p up to 1 cm broad; g i Il s distant, broad and thick; s t e m 2-3 cm X 1-2.5 mm. It grows on moist gro und especially under Alnus glutinosa. 19.

My description agrees very well with this given by VELENOVSKY, Ceske Hoube (1920). Characteristic features are the very broad, distant and thick gills and the blackening of the whole fungus with age or when handled. This species is growing with Picea as apparent mycorrhiza partner. During the season of 1957 while studying Agarics in Femsjo together with Dr. M. MOSER, Innsbruck, I have obtained a fresh collect determined by him (n. 6333) and a few days later I myself have colected material of this characteristic species in the same parish (6419). As reported for the first time from Sweden it is a nice addition to our Flora. 20.

The species is well illustrated as Flammula Agardhii by J. E. LANGE, Fl. Agar. Dan. pI. 122 D. According to him the species is "only mentioned by Scandinavian authors". It has, however, according to ORTON (1960) long been known to him from England, 1951 and 1954, and was recorded and described by REm 1955 from the same country. The species is apparently rather rare in this country and is growing under Salix on moist ground, but FRIEs says in Hym. Eur. it grows "in pratis inter gramina". 23. Psathyrella pennaia (FR.)

The fungus is described and figured by L. and H. DøsSING in Friesia (1961) as PsathyreZla carbonicola A. H. SMITH. The species is apparently uncommon in Sweden. 24. Coprinus hemerobius FR. - Goteborg: Botan. Tradgården amongst grass on a lawn, 22.VII.1940 (n. 1997). The species resembles the rather common C. plicatilis (CURT. ex FR.) FR. which, however, has a greyish cap, gills separated from the stem by a distinct collarium and spores more or les s heart-shaped or triangular in face view, 10-11 X 6-7,li. C. hemerobius FR. has a dingy alutaceous c a p, gills are not separated from the stem by a collarium and spores more or less oval, 11-13 X 7-8,li. Illustrated by J. E. LANGE in FI. Agar.

SUMMARY In the extremely hot and dry summer of 1959, Erysiphe betae (VANHA) WELTZIEN, the powdery mildew of beet, was found for the first time in Danish beet fields. The attacks were surprisingly widespread and rather severe in the southern parts of the country, especially on the Islands. Even perithecia were found. Since 1959 only very few and weak attacks have been observed. In the autumn of 1966, however, numerous perithecia were found which made new investigations possible. Erysiphe betae (VANHA) WELTZIEN, the powdery mildew of beet, is normally of importance only in countries with a more continental climate, e. g. South Russia. Before 1959 the fungus was found in Denmark only in a glasshouse at the State Plant Pathology Institute in 1941 and in a single record at Risø in 1958. In the extremely hot and dry summer of 1959, however, powdery mildew was found for the first time in Danish beet fields. The attacks were surprisingly widespread and rather severe in the southern parts of the country, especially on the Islands. The strong attacks of Beet yellow virus in 1959 have perhaps favoured the infections of powdery mildewas mentioned by WIESNER (1960). S o u r c e s o f i n f e c t i o n for the severe and widespread attacks of the powdery mildew in beets in 1959 are considered to be found on the Continent, mainly in the German Democratic Republic. - 28- - 29- Here, widespread attacks of beet mildew were found in the middle of July (WIESNER 1960), a month earlier than in Denmark. Southerly winds had been domina ting for periods of 2-3 days in the beginning and the end of J une, and in the middle of J uly. Long distance spread of powdery mildew is formerly suggested and proved by HERMANSEN (1964), concerning the early infection with Erysiphe graminis on cereals in Denmark. Another example of long distance spread, with southerly winds from the Continent, is given by BUCHWALD (1961) concerning unusual and widespread attacks of Puccinia graminis on wheat in 1951. T h e f u n g u s. Beet mildew was first observed in 1902 in Czechoslovakia by VANHA (1903). Unfortunately he named the fungus Microsphaera betae because of some branching of the appendages. Later findings of mildew on beets mostly concerned the Oidium form of the fungus, but JACZEWSKI (1927), MURAVJEV (1928) (both according to BLUMER 1933) and WENZL (1957) have found the perfect stage and refer it correctly to the genus Erysiphe. Until1963 the beet mildew usually had been referred to as Erysiphe communis (WALLR.) LINK':- ) or E. polygoni (DC.) St.-Am. WENZL (1957) discusses in detail the questions of nomenclature. After a correspondance with Dr. S. BLUMER, WENZL concluded that the beet mildew in spite of the branching of the appendages provisionally must be referred to E. communis. Based on extensive occurrence of beet mildew in Lebanon in 1962, WEL'TZIEN (1963) investigated a great number of perithecia. He gives the combination ETysiphe betae (VANHA) comb. nov., because he finds the fungus to be different from E. communis} in having branched appendages and fewer spores per ascus, and different from E. polygoni} in the smaller size of the perithecia and nearly equal numbers of 2 and 3 spored asci (E. polygoni generally has 3 ascospores in each ascus). D a n i s h i n ves t i g a t i o n s. In Denmark, perithecia of the beet mildew fungus have been found only to a small extent in the fieId, even in 1959. Perithecia found by CHR. STAPEL, at the end of September 1959, were investigated by the present author as herbarium specimens embedded in glycerol (JENSEN 1966). In past years beet mildew has been observed a few times on beet in the glasshouses at the State Plant Pathology Institute, Lyngby. *) E. knautiae Duby (1830). TABL E 1.

The investigations by the present author support that the beet mildew must be called Erysiphe betae (VAN"HA) WELTZIEN, but there is a divergence in the number of spores per ascus. WELTZIEN uses the small number (mostly 2 or 3) of spores as a separating factor. The findings by the present author show clearly that the number is greater. Perhaps the number of spores is a question of maturity of the perithecia. WENZL (1957) reports the finding of 2-3 spored asci in October, but la ter in the year, mostly 3-4 spore d asci could be found. LITERATURE. Blurner, S.

KICKX) VARDV AXTVAL I SVERIGE By INGVAR NORDIN Institutionen for Systematisk Botanik, UpsaIa SUMMARY The Swedish host species of Fomes fomentarius (L. ex FR.) I{ICKX The polypore Fomes fomentarius is a widespread and well-known fungus, which has been dealt with in detail by many authors, for instance BUCHWALD (1930) and JAHN (1966). F. fomentarius appears abundantly on old beech-trunks on the Continent of Europe and even in the southernmost parts of Sweden. But in the rest of Sweden (and outside the area with wild beech) the species is as frequent on birch as it is on beech. That is to say, the Fagus-limit does not constitute a boundary for Fomes fomentarius in Sweden. For many fungi which are closely connected with beech on the Continent of Europe, the northern limit of this tree in Sweden is a more or less definite boundary (Trametes gibbosa and OudemansielZa mucida); other fungi show a marked decrease in frequency (Trametes versicolor and Schizophyllurn commune). It is a well-known faet, that where Fomes fomentarius occurs, the fungus sometimes also appears on other substrata than the two mentioned above. In this paper the author lists 12 host-genera with 1"4 species for F. fomentarius in Sweden. Acer platanoides with 18 localities is the only one of these occasional hosts that is fairly common (see photos!). Corylus and Sorbus are reported as new host-genera. At the end of the lists of localities there are, after every host, observations made by the author of other polypores on the same substratum in Central Sweden (Uppland, Vastmanland and Narke). Corylus avellana has pro ved a rich substratum at least within the - 32 - - 33- area just mentioned ; all polypores so far known on this host are listed in the paper. An asterisk indicates, that the substratum is determined by an expert, Mr. ERIC ÅBERG, after microscopical investigation. The author is of the opinion that the occurrence of Fomes fomentarius on different substrata is of no taxonomical value. See als o the table of measured fruit bodies! Det ar ej for mycket sagt, att fnosktickan ar en av de allra bast kanda svamparna i Skandinavien, liksom inom artens hela utbredningsområde. Hartill bidrager sakert svampens ofta allmanna forekomst, fruktkropparnas storlek, deras intressanta utveckling, formoch fargvariationen samt anvandningen i aldre tid i fnoskindustrin. Det finns en rik litteratur om svampen. Jag vill har referera till några intressanta artiklar, dels professor BUCHWALD'S arbeten, och framst det om Fomes fomentarius) naturhistoria, his to ria och anvandning i "Meddelelser" (BUCHWALD 1930), dels till dr. JAHN'S fornamligt illustrerade artikel i "Westfalische Pilzbriefe" (JAHN 1965). Fomes fomentarius har en vid utbredning i nastan hela Europa, forekommer (dock mindre rikligt) aven i Nordamerika och ar uppgiven från Asien. Den europeiska sydgransen sammanfaller ungefar med sydgransen for vildvaxande bok, nordgransen for bjorkens nordgrans. De namnda två lovtraden, Fagus och Betula, ar de huvudsakliga vardarna i Europa; bok inom det nordligt tempererade lovskogsområdet, bjork inom det nordligt tempererade barrskogsområdet. I Sverige ar boken vild endast i de sydligaste landskapen (men odlad och forvildad annu i Mellansverige) , medan bjorkar forekommer genom hela landet. Fnosktickan ar allman i alla delar a v Sverige (i Sydsverige kallas svampen stundom "bokticka"); den overskrider alltså bo kens nordgrans och upptrader norr darom med oforandrad frekvens. Detta ar ett intressant fenomen. Ser man på några andra polyporeer, exempelvis Trametes gibbosa och T. versicolor) vilka liksom Fomes fomentarius ar allmant forekommande på bok i Mellaneuropa, upphor dessa, respektive minskar starkt i frekvens vid bokens nordgrans. Trametes versicolor) som i stora delar av landet ersatts av T. zonata) har jag iakttagit på några få lokaler iMellansverige norr om Malaren, bland annat på odlad Fagus (Uppland, Lot, Fåno; coll. GUNNAR ERIKSSON). Trametes gibbosa foreligger i Upsala-herbariet från foljande utpostlokaler: Bohuslan, Rodbo, Bjorkåsen, på FRIE S IA VIII - 34 Betula) 1943 (NATHORST-WINDAHL 3768-*) samt bland, GardslOsa, prastgården, 1950 (DAHLGREN) . I Sverige - liksom overallt inom det område dar Fomes jomentarius forekommer - kan svampen av och till upptrada aven på andra an de ovannamnda substraten. Avsikten med foreliggande avhandling ar att offentliggora ett ganska omfattande materialover fnosktickans vardvaxtval. Det mesta harror från mina egna insamlingar under senare år iMellansverige (Uppland, Vastmanland, Narke etc.). Jag har ave n fortecknat de fynd som ar belagda i våra stora herbarier, ytterligare material har erhållits från mykologer som tillskrivits angående F. jomentarius) substratval. I sitt ovannamnda arbete behandlar BUCHWALD in gående fnosktickans vardvaxtval. For Danmark anges sju vardslakten (sammanlagt 9 arter). I en senare notits (BUCHWALD 1934) har tillkommit annu en art Populus) namligen P. virginiana. BJ0RNEKÆR (1938) anger Acer pseudoplatanus och Alnus glutinosa som nya vardvaxter for Danmark. Svampen ar sedan konstaterad har 4 a 5 gånger på Acer pseudoplatanus) ett par gånger på Alnus glutinosa samt 1 a 2 gånger på Ulmus glabra (BUCHWALD in litt.). De namnda avhandlingarna har gjort mig intresserad for Fomes i Sverige, och enligt vår nuvarande kannedom ar har motsvarande antal 12 slakten med tillsammans 14 arter (Carpinus betulus ej medraknad), vilket skall jamforas med den aktuella danska siffran 9 vardslakten (sammanlagt 12 arter). Såvitt jag kunnat finn:;t, ar två av dessa sIakten ej alls tidigare uppgivna som hysande Fomes jomentarius) namligen Corylus och Sorbus. Som framgår av nedanstående lokallista, hor de fortecknade vardarna till våra svamprikaste lignoser - med undantag a v Fraxinus. Fnosktickan ar en svår rotsvamp på bok och bjork, på ovriga trad och buskar saknar den på grund av sin sallsynthet betydelse. Endast i fråga om Acer platanoides bland de tillfalliga substraten ar F. jomentarius någotsånar viktig; 18 lokaler ar kanda, och det ar fråga om alle- och landsvagstrad som infekterats. Nastan samtliga av dessa observationer har jag gjort under bilfarder, och det har varit de helt eller delvis doda stammarna som dragit uppmarksamheten till sig - och vid många tillfallen har då fnosktickan avslOjats. Underhand har for Alnus incana och Populus tremula tillkommit så många nya lokaler, att F. jomentarius lokalt kan betraktas som en tamligen viktig rotsvamp, åtminstone på gråal.

Från kontine nten, sarskil t Frankr ike, finns uppgif ter om ytterliga re var da r, bland vilka flera kan tankas komma i fråga aven i Sverige . I juli 1965 iakttog jag F. foment arius på Acer platano ides i Warsza wa (Ogrod Saski) och i oktobe r 1966 på Aescul us hippoca stanum i en park i Prag. Under en exkurs ion i Bohme rwald tillsam rnans med dr. ALBERT PILAT hade jag tillfald e att studera Fomes fomentarius på ej mindre an fyra olika substra t, namlig en spars amt på Acer platano ides och Aescul us hippoca stanum i alle vid Diana (distr. Tachov ) samt mycket rikligt på Acer pseudo platanu s och Fagus silvatic a i urs kogen intill Diana. Angåen de ovriga lignose r som infekte ras av F. foment arius se BOURDOT et GALZIN (1928), PILAT (1936-4 2), KREISEL (1961) och JAHN (1965).

Ju tunnar e stam desto mindre och hogre a tickorn blir (under forutsa ttning att stamm en ar uppratt , på lågor - 37- lang re och ej så haga). BUCHWALD har harfor anvant uttrycket matrikalmodifika tion. Se tabell och fig! I svampsuccessionen på såval upprattstående som liggande stammar av flera olika vardvaxter upptrader Fomes jomentarius och Fomitopsis pinicoZa samtidigt. Valutvecklade fruktkroppar av de namnda arterna har iakttagits tillsamrnans på BetuZa (fig. 7), Acer pZatanoides} AZnus incana} PopuZus tremuZa och Sorbus aucuparia. I ett nyutkommet arbete, JAHN (1966), behandlas svampsamhallen på PopuZus tremuZa i Fiby urskog (Uppland, Vange socken). Av intressanta polyporeer som i mindre antal antecknats på liggande, doda aspstamrnar av måttlig formultningsgrad marks Fomes jomentarius} dessutom Antrodia moZZis} Fomitopsis pinicoZa} Ganoderma appZanatum och Trametes betuZina. Eldtickan (PheZZinus igniarius) har ofta kommit att betraktas som en dubbelgångare till fnosktickan; svårigheterna att skilja de två åt ar dock betydligt overdrivna. Ph. igniarius (s. lat.) har ett jamfort med Fomes jomentarius betydligt vidare vardvaxtregister ave n i Sverige; endast i något fall ar fnosktickan den vanligare a v de två. Det kan var a betydligt svårare att makroskopiskt skilja platttickan (Ganoderma appZanatum) från Fomes jomentarius} sarskilt då den forstnamnda vaxer på upprattstående stammar av till exempel Acer pZatanoides (se lokallistan), Quercus etc. Från G. appZanatum skiljs dock F. jomentarius på forekomst av primordialkarna samt på sammanhangande ror, hos plattickan ar rorskikten åtskilda av brun trama. G. appZanatum kan i Sverige upptrada på nastan vilket substrat som helst, från Spiraea till Abies och Pinus. På Brittiska oarna (exklusive Skottland) har Fomes jomentarius forvaxlats med Ganoderma appZanatum; fnosktickan har visat sig vara en mycket sallsynt svamp har med endast en saker lokal i Kent (REID & AUSTWICK 1963, p. 304). Angående fnosktickans utbredning meddel ar KARSTEN (1882): "Loftrad, helst bok och bjork, a.". I upplaga 4 av KROK & ALMQUIST"S kryptogam del (1917) lamnar ROMELL foljande upplysning: "Stamm. och stubb. av bjork och bok, någon gång aven på ek och lonn, a.". Som framgår av nedanstående lokallista finns ROMELL'S egna insamlingar på ek och lonn bevarade i Riksmuseets samlingar (S).

Hos oss ar den emellertid i så overvagande grad hanvisad till bjork och bok, att den på andra tradslag, t. ex. al, alm och lonn, kan betecknas som en sallsynthet". Varken i Skogshogskolans eller Riksmuseets samlingar finns någon kollekt som skulle kunna verifiera uppgiften om F. fomentarius på alm. Ulmus ar ett av vardtraden i Danmark. Phellinus igniarius ar sedd en gång på alm (i Uppland). ADDENDUM De kompletteringar till ovanstående artikel - huvudsakligen i form av nya lokalfynd - som gjorts under sommaren och hosten 1967 har endast delvis kunnat arbetas in i artikeln. Acer platanoides. 58. Upl, Soderfors, Soderfors bruk. 1967 (L N.). Tre fruktkrop par i dod topp av gronskande trad. - 46- 59. Upl, 6sterlOvsta, Spjutbo. 1967 (L N.)

Aesculus hippocastanum. 62. Bl, Sillhovda, Holmsjo. 1967 (O. ANDERSSON in litt.). Hastkastanjen brukar normalt vara fri från rotsvampar. Phellinus igniarius ar dock antecknad på Aesculus hippocastanum från 6 lokaler, och i ovrigt marks Polyporus squamosus} Oxyporus populinus} Polyporus varius och Spongipellis spumeus samt Bjerkandera adusta} B. fumosa och Ganoderma applanatum} de flesta endast vid något enda tillfalle. Alnus glutinosa_ 63. Upl, Forsmark, Klockarhagen. 1967 (L N. 4361 *). Låga. Salix caprea. 64. Dlr, Husby, Borgarhyttan (Stjernsunds skogsforvaltning). 1967 (L N. 4374). Sorbus aucuparia. 65. Upl, Vaksaia, Jalla, N. om Tomten. 1967 (L N. 4369). Tillsammans med Trametes hirsuta. Lokalen belagen 400 m SW. om lokal nr. 30. Genom OLOF ANDERSSON'S fynd av Fomes fomentarius på Aesculus och Ulmus i Blekinge ar nu antalet sakert konstaterade vardvaxter 14 (12 slakten). I sydligaste Sverige kan forvantas att fnosktickan skall bli funnen ave n på Acer pseudoplatanus. Thesleff (i "Studier ofver basidsvampfloran i sydostra Finland". - Bidrag till kannedom af Finlands natur och folk. Helsingfors 1919) anger fOljande om - 47- Fomes jomentarius: "Bjork, lind, asp, al, hagg; hela året. a". Bland dessa ar lind och hagg ej kanda som vardtrad i Sverige. De flesta kompletteringarna, bland annat samtliga nya lokaler på skogslOnn, harror från Bergslagsterrangen, dar Acer platanoides ar allmant odlad som vård- och alletrad. Listan over forekomster av Fomes jomentarius på A. platanoides från denna trakt kommer att kunna kompletteras ytterligare. Hosten 1967 har jag haft tillfalle att besoka ett område vid Flinesjon iDalarna, tillhorigt Stjernsunds skogsforvaltning, dar lovskogen dodats genom fickning. De doende traden hade infekterats av Fomes jomentarius) vars fruktkroppar nu i mycket stort antal brot fra m på de kaIa bjorkstammarna inom stora områden. Salix caprea antecknades aven som vardvaxt, och det ar mycket troligt att aven andra lovtrad var infekterade av fnosktickan. Metoden med fickning anvands inom storskogsbruket på många håll. Resultatet kan bli som på den namnda lokalen en kolossal uppblomstring av vissa rotsvamp ar, och framst då Fomes jomentarius. På bjorkstammar som blivit svedda av eld upptradde darjamte Fomitopsis pinicola) Pycnoporus cinnabarinus etc. Bland de polyporeer som - forutom Fomes jomentarius - antraffats på Corylus avellana marks den nyfunna Phetlinus robustus (en lokal iOstergotland) . I och med f yndet foreligger nu två for Quercus och Corylus gemensamma och exklusiva tickor, namligen Coriolellus campestris och Phellinus robustus. Ektickans huvudform ar i Sverige endast kan d från ek, men upptrader på kontinenten aven på Castanea och Robinia. Dr. HERMANN JAHN, som verifierat min bestamning, har dock funnit en stor fruktkropp av Ph. robustus aven på Corylus i Westfalen (JAHN in litt.). Den av mig funna kollekten utgors av f. resupinatus BOURD. & GALZIN, helt resupinat på upprattstående, doda hasselstammar. I brottet hade fruktkropparna en for arten karaktaristisk gulbrun farg och sidenglans. Se JAHN 1966-67, pp.94-95. Ingenjor ERIC ABERG, Upsala, har nedlagt ett stort arbete på att bestamma vedprover åt mig, ej endast de i artikeln markerade kollekterna, utan aven alIa de som aldrig togs med, emedan substratet ej visade sig vara av specielIt intresse. Professor JOHN AXEL NANNFELDT och doktor HERMANN JAHN har last artikeln i manuskript. Professor N. FABRITIUS BUCHWALD har aven haft vanligheten att Iamna uppgifter och anvisningar om fnosktickan. Många mykologer har på begaran lamnat vardefulla lokaluppgifter. Jag ber att få framfora ett hjartligt tack for all denna hjalp. - 48- Storleken i mm hos fruktkroppar av F. jomentarius på olika vardtrad.

Contribution No. 79 from the Department of Plant Pathology, The Royal Veterinary and Agricultural College, Copenhagen. SUMMARY Physoderma gerhardtii SCHROET. is reported to have been found on Glyceria maxima in Denmark. The germination of the resting sporangia is described in detail. Preliminary infection experiments with Alopecurus pratensis) Baldingera arundinacea) Dactylis glomerata) Glyceria fluitans and Glyceria maxima resulted in infections on the latter species only. During an excursion on 11th June 1966 to Utterslev Bog in the northern environs of Copenhagen, the author noted that the lowest leaves of a population of Glyceria maxima bore from few to many rustlike spots which, af ter microscopic examination, were found to be infections of Physoderma gerhardtii SCHROET. Since no Physoderma species have previously been recorded on grasses in Denmark and many species within this interesting genus are in general rare, and therefore not very intensively investigated, some observations concerning this discovery are reported here. The population of Glyceria maxima was growing in a flat depression, the bottom of which was so wet and spongy that is was not possibie to venture there in shoes. The population was dense and - 51 - 4* - 52- Fig. 1. Physoderma gerhardtii on leaves of Glyceria maxima. Phot. 13.6.1966. covered an area of 40 X 20 m. In the lowest-lying parts 90 % of the plants were infected, while slightly high er up only 20 % showed signs of infection. With a further rise of approximately 5 cm the infection died out completely. Normally only the lowest leaf was infected, although occasional plants were found with two infected leaves. The infection spots consisted of a brown-violet centre surrounded by a yellowish zone. They occurred singly, in larger aggregates, or in shorter to longer single-rowed stripes, and were 1,5-4 mm in lenght and 1-2 mm in breadth. Three weeks la ter the single infection spots were found to meas ure up to 9 mm in length. The spots were, in general, larger when they occurred singly, and small where numerous infections were sited on a small area of leaf (fig. 1). This is, without - 53- a c b Fig. 2.

The difference in size of the infection spots in the Danish material is considered, however, to be determined by the relative absence or abundance of nutrients for the individual mycelia, and not to be due to a difference in genotype. In each cell 1-3 resting sporangia were observed. These frequentley had taken the shape of the cell and measured 19.5-41.1 X 15.6-31.2p, with an average of 26.6 X 21.5 p (50 spores). The walls of the resting sporangia were violet in colour, approximately 1 p thick, and smooth. Rhizomycelium and haustoria from resting sporangia and turbinate cells were found. Since the germination process was not known (KARLING 1950), attempts were made to germinate resting sporangia in suspended drops of glass-distilled water. This method proved practicable so far as spores germinated after two days at room temperature and released zoospores. Upon germination an endosporangium was produced which pushed up a circular cup-shaped lid from the broader side of the epispore. A part of the endospore, as a rule still carrying the lid, was then extruded, taking the shape of a truncate d cone (fig. - 54 - Fig. 3. Resting sporangium of Physoderma gerhardtii immediately after release of zoospores. The epispore contains a residual drop let. Phot. 11.7.1966. X 460. 2a). At the same time the cytoplasm was observed to become increasingly differentiated. Highly refractive droplets appeared, and the faint outlines of few zoospores could be vagueley distinguished. As a presage of the final germination phase, bacteria in the neighbourhood of the resting sporangium suddenly became activated, and accumulated around the sporangium (fig. 2b), their swimming speed being greatly increased. The sporangium was finally observed to lie in a halo of higly-activated bacteria. After 5-10 seconds the bacterial activity returned to normal again. No visible change was observed in the germinating spore, but aseeretion was undoubtly emitted, either through apical fission of the endospore or by diffusion. After this presage 5-15 minutes passed before the final phase of germination commeneed. The cytoplasm began to flow slowly out of the apex of the endospore, the speed gradually increasing. Outside in the water the cytoplasm contraeted to form a segmented vesicle which appeared well defined for approximately 1 second (fig. 2c). This vesicle disrupted abruptly due to the independent movements of the individual zoospores, which af ter a few seconds swam away. At the apex of the empty endospores a circular opening with frayed edges could often be seen. The opening was of approximately the same size - 55 freas the remo ved epispor ial lid (fig. 2).

SKOU Agricultural Research Department, Danish Atomic Energy Commission Research Establishment Risa, Roskilde, Denmark SUMMARY CochZiobolus sativus (ITO et KURIE.) DRECHSLER*) stat. conid. has been in Denmark for a long time. The fungus is common on grains of cereals, while it is very sparsely reported from gro wing plants. The author has occasionally isolated the fungus from the roots and stem base of cereals during his work to isolate other pathogens (Ophiobolus graminis and Cercosporella herpotrichoides) . Investigations show that the Danish isolates have the same properties as isolates from other regions and therefore are at least potential pathogens, able to cause diseases when and where the inoculum potential is great enough. But as the symptoms (root rot, eye spots) caused by C. sativus on the plants are rather unspecific, they may be disguised under symptoms of the severe cereal pathogens O. graminis and C. herpotrichoides. In addition the fungus may cause leaf spots. An intense dark brown colour is characteristic of all the symptoms, no matter on what part of the plants they occur. It was found tha t both the toxin and the fungus diminished the yield. Weibulls Starke wheat and Weibulls Ingrid barley were affected by both the toxin and the fungus, Petkus II rye nearly exc1usively and SvalOf Stål oats insignificantly by the toxin only, and Carlsberg *) sensu DASTUR (1942). - 57- - 58 - II barley mainly but not exclusively by the fungus. An effect on the germination of wheat and rye was observed. Ingrid barley was found significantly more susceptible to C. sativus than Carlsberg II as measured by symptoms and dry-matter yield in seedling tests. The difference between the isolates manifests itself mainly in the amount of toxin produced. The attacks were increased by adding meal of wheat grains to the inoculum medium. 1. INTRODUCTION Cochliobolus sativus (ITo et KURIE.) DRECHSLER->:- ) stat. conid. (syn. Helmisporium ** ) sativum PAMM., KING et BAKKE; Bipolaris sorokiniana (SACC. in SOROK.) SHOEMAKER) is a common, variable and polyphagous pathogen on cereals and grasses in the main part of the graingrowing areas of the world. The attacks seem to be most severe in the U.S.A. and Canada, where the fungus occasionally caus~s great losses in barley and wheat. Occurrence of C. sativus is frequently reported from different parts of Europe; however, the fungus seems les s significant in this region, though perhaps more than hitherto assumed (KOLK 1966, LANGE-DE LA CAMP 1958, MULLER 1956, DE TEMPE 1964). The reports from the northern part of Europe, including Denmark (see below) refer nearly exclusively to occurrence on and in the grains of cereals (FRITZ 1965, 1966, KOLK 1966, DE TEMPE 1964), on which the fungus may be considered common. In spite of this there are very few reports about attacks on the plants (LANGE-DE LA CAMP 1958). These apparently conflicting facts are surprising: as the inoculum must come from a source and as it is an accepted faet that C. sativus has little or no competitive saprophytic ability in soil (GARRETT 1963, and others), the fungus must, at least rather frequently, occur and propagate on susceptible plants. One may then ask whether attacks by Cochliobolus sativus in this region is a disease disguised under symptoms of other diseases, whether it is a potential pathogen able to cause attacks on cereals when and where the inoculum potential becomes great enough (GARRETT 1960), or whether its significance is less than its occurrence on * ) sensu D ASTUR (1942). According to HUGHES (1958) and SHOEMAKER (1959) H elminthosporium LINK ex PERS. (1822) is an illeg itimate orthographic variant of Helmisporium LINK (1809), validated by S. F. GRAY (1821). * *) - 59 - Fig. 1. Conidia of Co chliobolus sativus. (a) Conidia from a steri lized barley ear in the her barium of C. A . Jørge nsen, 1930 .

N ote the variation in size. - X 180. the grains appears to show, because of a lower pathogenicity or more saprophytic strains than in areas where severe attacks on all parts of the plants are known to occur. The reason for asking these questions is that C. sativus sometimes came out when the author tried to isolate Ophiobolus graminis SACC. from roots of cereals and CercosporeZZa herpotrichoides FRON from their stem base. n is worth knowing the answers as well from the plant pathology point of view as for experiments concerned with breeding for resistance to diseases producing interchangeable symptoms. Results of experiments for the elucidation of some of the questions are reported below. 2. C O C H L I O B O L U S S A T I V U S A N D I T S O C C U R E N C E IN DENMARK The dark brown to black colonies of C. sativus stat. conid. with the brown phaeophragmic conidia are placed in the form family Dematiaceae. The size, and the number of cells in the conidia are very variable (cf. e. g. ANDERSEN 1954, DICKSON 1956, DRECHSLER 1923). As aiready shown by DRECHSLER (1923) , this is due, at least in part, - 60- to the hosts or substra tes (Fig. 1). Therefore the size of the conidia given in the literature is of limited value if it is not supplemented with a specification of host or substrate, and even then the conidia are not uniform from isolate to isolate. A more reliable characteristic is the strictly bipolar (or polar) germination of the conidia (DRECHSLER 1934, RAPILLY 1964, SHOEMAKER 1969), compare Fig. 2. In 1963 (ANDERSEN 1963 a, b) Cochliobolus sativus was mentioned for the first time in the Danish literature on plant pathology. A few years later a severe attack was observed in an experiment with sowing seeds of Lolium perenne L. infected by H elmisporium catenarium DRECHSLER (ANDERSEN 1969). With barley as cover crop the attack by H. catenarium was strongly restrieted, while an attack by C. sativus increased from 40 to 76 % of the plants. ANDERSEN considered it prom o te d by the barley. Recently an examination of 100 seed samples of barley showed 62 samples to be infected by C. sativus with a variation from 1 to 6 % infected grains (JØRGENSEN 1966). All these observa tions were made primarily on grains or seeds and only sparcely on the gro wing plants (L. perenne) see above). The first discovery in Denmark, however, was made on roots and stem base of diseased barley plants by C. A. JØRGENSEN as early as 1930. H. H. HOLME HANSEN, agricultural adviser, took the plants from a diseased spot in a barley field at Sæbyholm, Lolland, and forwarded them to the Government Plant Pathology Institute, Lyngby, with the remark that the cause was possibly drought. This isolate of C. sativus together with drawings of the conidiophores and of the conidia with or without the bipolar germination (see above and Fig. 2) and an isolate of the fungus received from Professor J. J. CHRISTENSEN, Univers ity of Minnesota, in 1930, still exist (in dry condition) in the herbarium of C. A. JØRGENSEN. The isolates made by the present author are found identical with those of this herbarium. As noted in the introduetion, the author has now and then isolated C. sativus from both roots and straw. On the basis of the above it may be stated that the fungus has been in Denmark for a long time and that it is, perhaps, as common here as in our adjacent countries, and further that it is sparsely reported on growing plants (cf. ANDERsEN 1969, LANGE-DE LA CAMP 1968). - . . . 0/:.7 Ty, ;, 61- 677 6>'C) Fig. 2. Conidia of Cochliobolus sativus. The bipolar germination of conidia as seen 24 hours af ter plating.

Both were isolated as mycelium from black-coloured roots of barley in 1964 by the method of DAVIES (1936) ; No. 600 from an apparently healthy corp at Riso, Zealand and No. 617 from a crop with severe root rot at Engbjerggård, Snoldelev, Zealand. From its general appearance the attack was thought to be caused by Ophiobolus graminis} the take-all fungus. The isolates were grown on malt extract agar or on a medium containing wheat straw extract and glycine. All transfers were made with a rather large amount of mycelium and conidia in an attempt to keep possible special characteristics. As host plants Weibulls Starke wheat, Petkus II (2n) rye, Carlsberg II barley, Weibulls Ingrid barley, and SvalOf Stål oats were used. The grains were surface sterilized with 1 % NaClO and soaked overnight on moistened filter paper before sowing. The following medium was used for preparing the inoculum: K-soil (standardized commercial peat-rich soil inriched by clay and fertilizer) mixed with wheat-straw meal (or meal of wheat straw + grains) - 62- in the ratio of 30: 5. Af ter autoclaving at 1 kg per cm2 (15 Ib per square inch) for four hours in portions of ca. 50 g in 250-300 ml glass jars, 20 ml of a solution of 4 % glucose and 0.25 % glycine was added to each jar. The mixture, having a water holding capacity of 300-320 g water per 100 g, was moistened to ca. 70 % saturation. From a dens e growth of C. sativus) ca. 2 cm2 agar with mycelium and conidia was split up and spread on the surface of the medium. After incubation at ro om temperature for a month the K-soil medium was completely interwoven with the mycelium and ready for use. The experiments (seedling tests) were performed in the greenhouse at 15-25° C. Plastic pots (diam. 15 cm) were filled three quarters with untreated Perlite, upon which the inoculum was placed, one glass for each pot. An autoclaved, uninoculated medium served as control (see further the third series of experiments). Then 25 grains were sown, and the whole was covered with ca. 1.5 cm steamboiled rough sand. During the growth the plants were fertilized with a standard nutrient solution (HEWITT 1952). Three-four weeks after sowing - depending on the temperature the experiments were stoppe d ; the roots were washed free of soil and Perlite and examined for symptoms in accordance with the following scale: o = roots without symptoms; 1 = 0-10 %; 2 = 10-25 %; 3 = 25-50 %; 4 = 50-75 % and 5 = 75-100 % discoloured root-mass. The dry-matter production was determined in root and top separately; compensation for lack of plants was made so that the results given are for 25 plants where not otherwise stated. The coefficient of variation was always greater for roots than for tops. In the tables, roots and tops are added up. Significant effect always means significance at the 5 % confidence limit or better. For the induction of symptoms on the upper parts of the plants, Starke wheat, Carlsberg II and Ingrid barley were sprayed with a suspension of conidia at the three-four-Ieaf stage and then placed in a humid atmosphere at ca. 20 ° C for three weeks. Finally the isolates of the fungus were examined for toxin production and for toxin-induced symptoms by the method of GAYED (1961) . - 63- b. Results of infectio n experim ents. 1. Experim ents with direct compar ison of sympto ms caused by Cochlio bolus sativus and Ophiobo lus gTamini s. The aim of the first series of infectio n experim ents was to see whethe r the isolate s of C. sativus were able to cause root sympto ms interch angeab le with those of O. graminis) and whethe r they were able to diminis h the dry-ma tter yield. In table 1 the effects of the two C. sativus isolate s are compar ed directly with the averag e effect of some O. gramin is isolates and with the most aggress ive isolate of o. gramin is (No. 504) separat ely. No. 504 is se en to cause a severe loss in yield. On an averag e of all the O. gramin is isolates , the yield is diminis hed signific antly. Also the random isolate s of C. sativus cause a signific ant loss of drymatter. They clearly differ in effect. No. 500 has a signific ant effect only on Starke wheat, while No. 517 causes a signific ant loss in both Starke wheat, Carlsbe rg II barley and Petkus II rye. The points for discolo ured roots are in agreem ent with the loss in yield. It is worth noting that No. 517 diminis hes the yield in rye withou t appreci able discolo ura tion of the roots. A compar ison of the root sympto ms caused by Ophiobolus graminis and by Cochliobolus sativus showed that it would be difficu lt or imposs ible to disting uish betwee n the two disease s on the basis of the root sympto ms alone. The most appare nt differe nce to the naked eye is that roots attacke d by O. gramin is appear more or less blackis h while those attacke d by C. sativus are dark browni sh. Less conspicuous is the fact that roots attacke d by C. sativus have a greater tendenc y to collaps e in belts and then may become somew hat stubby . 2. Infectio n experim ents with all cereal species grown in Denmar k. In a second series (table 2) the two isolates were inocula ted on the four cereal species grown in Denma rk, inc1uding two varietie s of barley. As in the first series, a substan tial differe nce is seen betwee n the two isolates , No. 517 being the most aggress ive. Barley and wheat are most strongl y affecte d. Isolate No. 517 diminis hes the dry-ma tter yield of Ingrid barley signific antly more than that of Carlsbe rg II barley (Fig. 3).

The oats are only insignificantly affected by both isolates and, like the rye (by No. 517), without discolouration on the roots. 3. The effect of autoclaved inoculum compared with that of living inoculum. In a third series (table 3) the effect of autoclaved (20 nain. at 1 kg per cna 2 ) inoculuna was conapared with that of living inoculuna in order to see whether the isolates produced a thernaostable toxin-X- ) as pointed out by LUDWIG et al. (1956). In this series, too, the effect of a larger anaount of easily deconaposable organic naatter in the inoculuna naediuna (naediuna 2) was tried, but in wheat only. No difference was denaonstrated between uninoculated autoclaved control (naediuna 1) and untreated raw K-soil. The autoclaved inocula proved toxic, which naust be ascribed to the previous growth of the isolates of C. sativus. No. 500, autocl., thus significantly dinainished the dry-naatter production of Ingrid barley, but not that of Carlsberg II barley and Starke wheat. No. 517, autocl., on the other hand, showed a strong effect on Starke wheat (both naedia) and on Petkus II rye as well as on Ingrid barley, but not on Carlsberg II barley and Stål oats. Autoclaved inocula gave no or practically no synaptonas on the roots. The living inocula of both isolates had a stronger effect than the autoclaved inocula, due to the fungus and to the toxic substance produced before and during the experinaent. In wheat and rye both isolates caused a significant decrease in the nunaber of plants per pot. On conapensation for this, the loss caused by No. 500 disappeared on naediuna 1, in both wheat and rye, but not on naediuna 2 (wheat). The conapensation could not elinainate the effect of No. 517. In barley and oats there was no effect on the nunaber of plants. These results are in agreenaent with those of HORRICKS (1963), who found wheat generally naore susceptible to toxic substances in soil than *) The significance of the toxin produced by Oochliobolus sativus was first demonstrated by LUDWIG (1957). In 1961 DE MAYO et al. isolated and characterized the toxin as an unsaturated aliphatic dialdehyde of terpenoid structure with the formula C15H220 2. In 1963 COREY & NOZOE made the total synthesis and were able to provide the absolute stereochemistry of the toxin. It is named helminthosporal. 5'" - 68- TABLE 3.

Apart from this, the effect of the living inoculum agreed with that observed in the two previous series. On medium 2 there was a substantially greater effect on both dry-matter yield and symptoms than on medium 1. This is probably due to a heavier growth of the fungi on medium 2 together with an increased production of the toxin. The significantly smaller drymatter yield of the controIon medium 2 as compared with the control on medium 1 is not due to a toxic effect of the medium, but rather to a very rapid growth of random microorganisms on the more easily decomposable medium 2 immediately after sowing (author unpubl.; cf. further LUDWIG et al. 1956, HORRICKS 1963). 4. Demonstration of toxin production on liquid media. Supplementary investigations showed that the toxin production on liquid media (method of GAYED 1961) is easily demonstrable (Fig. 4). Af ter the fungus has been grown on the medium for about one month, whole leaves or pieces of leaves are placed in the filtered - 70- Fig. 5. Barely leaves four days af ter inoculation with conidia of Cochliobolus sativus. Incubation in a humid atmosphere at ca. 20 0 C. Left leaf, contro l. medium for 48 hours. By this time necrotic spots of varying size develop. The small spots are dark brown while the greater ones have a paIe dea d centre surrounded by an intensely brown halo. H was thus possible, both by inoculation of seedlings and by growing the fungi on an artificial medium, to demonstrate the production and effect of the crude toxin. 5. Spraying of young plants of barley and wheat with canidia af Cochliobolus sativus. Finally barley and wheat plants at the three-four-Ieaf stage were spraye d with a suspension of conidia in order to see if they could produce symptoms on the upper part of the plants. AIready four days after inoculation severe symptoms occurred on barley leaves at 20 ° C in a humid atmosphere (Fig. 5). At this time only faint symptoms were seen on wheat where attacks develop more slowly than on barley, but may become severe. - 71 - The more or less necrotic spots are dark brown and oval to fusiform, on the lea f edge greater and less uniform, and surrounded by a yellowish green halo which may spread to greater areas of the leaves so tha t they a ttain asenescent colour (Fig. 5). The coleoptile seems especially susceptible. These findings agre e with LANGE-DE LA CAMP (1958), LUDWIG (1960), and MULLER (1956). In three-four weeks the attacked leaves may wilt so that the plants become somewhat defoliated - the defoliation beginning at the lower part. Secondary infections occurred on la ter developing leaves. On the lower leaf sheats near the stem base, oblong brown spots developed, which, although atypical, may be interchangeable with symptoms of Cercosporella herpotrichoides under ' field conditions. According to LANGE-DE LA CAMP (1958) these symptoms may become real eyespots. 4. D I S C U S S ION The fact that Cochliobolus sativus in Denmark is nearly exclusi vely known from grains and seeds of cereals and grasses may ha ve several causes. First of all the climatic and edaphic factors may play a part as it is known that severe attacks on all parts of the plants occur primarily in countries with warm and dry summers and that the fungus prefers soils of low fertility (BUTLER 1959, GARRETT 1966). For these reasons the propagation may be so slow and the attacks so late in this country that symptoms on the upper parts of the plants may be hidden under senescent or ripenning colours, which can be promote d by the fungus (cf. e.g. GARRETT 1963). However, as shown in infection experiments, the symptoms of C. sativus may als o occur disguised under symptoms of Ophiobolus graminis and CercosporelZa herpotrichoides. It might be from plants thus attacked that the grains are infected (LANGE-DE LA CAMP 1958, MULLER 1956, DE TAMPE 1964). The most essential difference between the two isolates used in the experiments seems to be in the amount of toxin produced. Greater differences are thought to occur in the field (cf. e.g. WOOD 1962). The difference in susceptibility found between the species and varieties of cereals tried seems determined by one or both of two agents, namely the toxin and the fungus. Starke wheat and Ingrid barley are susceptible to both the fungus and the toxin. In these - 72 - Fig. 6. A severe attack of Cochli obolus sativus in a barley field at Hanehøj, Zealand. Great spots wi t h sparse growth of small, poorly deve loped p lants, often wi th rudimen tary, steri le side-shoots. Photo 9 August, 1967_ experiments at least, Petkus II rye nearly exclusively and Stål oats exclusively but insignificantly are affected by the toxin. Carlsberg II barley is mainly attacked by the fungus. Thus, in agreement with LUDWIG (1957), the toxin may affect all the four species. The results of the experiments and the fact that nobody knows the distribution and severity of attacks by CochZioboZus sativus in Danish agriculture point to the expediency of searching for an elucidation of its importance. This is especially imperative for an exact diagnose in field experiments with breeding for resistance to root rot of cereals where even a small attack can make troubles. ADDENDUM In the summer of 1967, two months after the manuscript was forwarded, a rather severe spontaneous attack of CochZioboZus sativus was observed and identified as the primary cause of a diseased crop for the first time in Denmark. The attack covere d about 5,000 m 2 in a barley field at Hanehøj, Tjæreby (near Roskilde), Zealand (Fig. 6). - 73 - Fig. 7. CochZioboZu s sativus at the base of ba r ley plants. From left to right increasing degree of attack, the firs t pl an t to the left being h ea lthy. The attacked roots an d straw base vary in co lour from paie greyis h ( diffuse necro tic areas - sometimes with brown h alos like the eyespots, see plants 2 and 4 fro m the left) to uniform dark brown . The conditions for an attack were excellent: The summer was warm and dry and the soil light and sandy. The barley was secondcrop spring barley. In the time between the two crops there were pits of narcissus bulbs covered with barley straw on the area. After the pits had been removed most of the straw was burned, but some was ploughed down and may have brought about some nitrogen deficiency here and there (compare e.g. BUTLER 1959, GARRETT 1966). Of course the damage was aggravated by the drought, but neither this nor a possibIe deficiency in nitrogen could be primarily responsibIe for it. The attack was found on straw, roots (Fig. 7) and kerneIs, from which the fungus could be isolated very eas ily after a surface sterilization. AIso the characteristic brown spots on leaves (compare Fig. 5) were observed - mainly on young leaves of a regrowth brought forth after the rain.

Den første del af ROGER HEIlVI'S bog er en interessant sammenfatning af, delvis også supplering af vor hidtidige viden om giftsvampe, hvorom der er udgivet mange bøger. Af størst værdi er bogens anden del: de hallucinogene svampe. Forf. giver i indledningen et historisk tilbageblik over svampeforgiftninger. Talrige steninskriptioner og rester af de schweiziske pælebygninger viser, at svampe i årtusinder har været kendt og anvendt som menneskeføde. Det er let at genkende Velsmagende Mælkehat (Lactarius deliciosus) på kalkmalerierne i Herculanum. De romerske aristokrater ansatte tidligere plebejer til at samle svampe. SENECA sagde herom: "Du store Gud! Hvor folk dog arbejder bare for mavens skyld!" Hvor der er svampeforbrug, forekommer også forgiftninger. Ud over rene forgiftningsulykker kendes også flere overlagte kriminelle tilfælde; blandt disse er det mest berygtede: kejser CLA UDlUS' død. AGRIPPIN A, den foregående kejser CALIGULA'S søster, var utålmodig efter, at hendes søn, NERO, skulle bestige tronen. Hun sørgede for ved hjælp af sine hoffolk, at en ret af den fine Kejserfluesvamp (Amanita caesarea) J som kejseren skulle spise, blev gennemvædet med saft udpresset af Løgknoldet Fluesvamp (Amanita phalloides) . Efter det underholdende historiske kapitel følger en datarig redegørelse over svampeforgiftninger i tropiske og subtropiske egne. Beskrivelsen af de forskellige sygdomsbilleder (syndromer) kan især regne med speciallægers og toxikologers opmærksomhed. En gennemgang af de talrige arter og ikke mindst af de arter, der betragtes som farlige - indbefattet nogle mikroskopiske svampe, f. eks. Monilia sitophila - er også fra et rent mykologisk synspunkt interessant. Det lille kapitel om de "rehabiliterede" arter byder sandsynligvis for manges vedkommende på overraskelser. Volvaria gloiocephala og dens var. speciosa er spiselige lige som alle de andre arter inden for slægten. Den pågældende art sælges i øvrigt på Nord-Portugals frugtmarkeder. Amanita citrina (A. mappa) betragtedes længe som værende lige så farlig, ja dødsensfarlig som A. phalloides. Bønderne i Cevennerne spiser A. citrinaJ og CHAUVIN påviste eksperimentelt dens uskadelighed (sml. BUCHWALD i "Friesia" 2: 243-263, 1943). Blandt de hallucinogene svampe spiller Rød Fluesvamp (A mani ta muscaria) en vigtig rolle. En gastro-intestinal forgiftning fremkalder ved dens toxin, muscarin, frem for alt en tilstand af vildelse, beruselse, eventuelt sansepirring eller hallucinationer. Forf. fortæller - idet han nævner R. G. & V. P. WASSON (1957) som kilde - , at svenske soldater fra Varmland-regimentet i begyndelsen af det 19. århundrede var helt ophidsede, ja bogstavelig talt rasende som følge af indtagelse af A. muscaria J før de gik i kampen. Det gjorde de herefter med skummende mund, og deres dumdristighed kendte ingen grænser (sml. POUL THORSEN i "Friesia" 3: 333-351, 1949). - 76- - 77 - Amerikanske stenstatuetter af svamp e. Fra venstre til højre: Statuette med en skrubtudse fra sidste del af den præklassiske periode 500 f. Kr.-200 e. Kr., Mexico, Guatemala; med en jaguar fra epoken Miraflores 1000-500 f. Kr., Kaminaljuya, Guatemala; med en menneskelig figur, sidste del af den præklassiske periode, Guatemala. Indianerne lige fra Mexico til Peru spiste ofte hallucinogene svampe ved deres religiøse-kultiske fester. Stenstatuetter af skrubtudser, jaguarer og mandsskikkelser - fra hvis hoveder fremvokser en hatsvamp - vidner om de gamles kendskab til denne dæmoniske narkomani. New-Guineas's urbefolkning så vel som Sibiriens samojeder anvender den dag i dag giftige svampe som aphrodisiaca. Ved en mængde eksempler gennemgås de enkelte hallucinogene svampeslægters psykiske virkning, først og fremmest Psilocybe) som rummer mange hallucinogene arter, dernæst S trop haria) Panaeoltts) Amanita m. fl. Et særligt kapitel beskæftiger sig med ergotismens (meldrøjer-forgiftning) historie og med kemien af de alkaloider, der fremkalder denne frygtede forgiftning, så som ergotamin, ergosin, ergokryptin, ergocornin og det i vore dage så ofte omtalte LSD 25. Forf., den fremragende mykolog, behandler med elegant sikkerhed de til emnet hørende arkæologiske, kulturhistoriske, etnografiske, biokemiske, toxikologiske og psykopatologiske enkeltheder. - Det er en bog langt ud over det sædvanlige.

Det er forf. s tanke at publicere fuldstændige beskrivelser af sjældne eller interessante svampe ledsaget af stregtegninger af mikroskopiske karakterer og farvetavler med akvareller udført af forfatteren selv efter frisk materiale. Hovedvægten tænkes lagt på Agaricales (hatsvampordenen), men også nogle svampe fra Aphyllophorales (poresvampordenen) skulle medtages. I foreliggende hefte er beskrevet 4 Boletus-arter, 1 Laccaria-art, 4 Lepiota-arter, 1 A manita-art og 1 Stropharia- - 78 - art med tilhørende farvetavler. Heftet er smukt, og rækken som helhed skulle med sine omhyggelige beskrivelser af svampe, hvorom det ellers kan være vanskeligt at finde publikationer, kunne blive en værdifuld støtte ikke blot for fagmykologer, men også for særligt interesserede amatørmykologer.

Gustav Fisehers Verlag. Stuttgart 1967. - Pris DM 28.-. I den nyttige serie af mellemeuropæiske kryptogamfloraer i lommeformat er der nu også kommet et bind om laver, udarbejdet af seriens redaktør. En sådan bog har længe været imødeset med forventning, for vi mangler i høj grad sammenfattende lavfloraer. De færreste lichenologer har haft mod til at gå i gang hermed måske afskrækkes de af, at der stadig mangler special-monografier over mange store og artsrige slægter af laver, samt af det forhold, at laverne er dobbelt-organismer, hvad der yderligere gør det vanskeligt at opstille en fornuftig lav-systematik. Det er derfor meget fortjentsfuldt, at HELMUT GAMS, som ikke selv er lavforsker af faget, har påtaget sig at skrive en lavflora for Europa, og det skal siges med det samme, at det er lykkedes ham at løse opgaven fortrinligt, når der tages hensyn til den begrænsede plads, der har stået til hans rådighed. Det siger sig selv, at det har været umuligt at få alle de fra Mellemeuropa angivne arter af laver med, især af skorpelaverne; men det er der nu heller ikke sket nogen større skade ved, for en stor del af disse arter er ret tvivlsomme og skal maske snarere betegnes som modifikationer end som arter. Ligeledes har forf. i almindelighed ikke medtaget arter, som kun adskiller sig fra andre lignende arter ved sporernes dimensioner eller ved kemiske reaktioner, og der er heller ikke medtaget arter, som kun er angivet fra en enkelt lokalitet. Til brug for dem, som ønsker at gå mere i dybden med deres lavstudier, er der givet oplysning om den forhåndenværende (men desværre ikke altid tilstrækkeligt fyldestgørende) speciallitteratur. Oplysningerne om arternes udbredelse er ret detaillerede med rimelig hensyntagen til de nordiske lande. Det kan således nævnes, at det er om den i Nordamerika hyppige, men i Europa sjældne art Caloplaca microphyllina (TUCK.) HASSE angives, at den forekommer i 0stalperne, i Danmark og i Sydsver~ge. Ligeledes noteres, at det om den i Troperne og i Subtroperne vidt udbredte art Graphis elegans (SM.) ACH. angives, at den forekommer i Vesteuropa indtil Skotland, i Danmark og i Tyskland til Weser og Schwarzwald. Det kan yderligere nævnes, at der også er blevet plads til en omtale af de hovedsageligt subarktiske og alpine basidiolichener. Af særlig interesse for danske forhold er de dobbelt-organismer, som dannes ved symbiose mellem grønalger af slægten Coccomyxa og bladhatte af slægten Omphalina) dels Botrydina vulgaris med homoeomert, grynet thallus og dels Coriscium vulgare med heteromert thallus af form som små runde skæl. De anførte eksempler turde være tilstrækkelige til at dokumentere, at bogen er særdeles brugbar, også for et dansk publikum. Den være hermed anbefalet på det bedste. M. SKYTTE CHRISTIANSEN. FRIESIA . Bind VIII . Hefte 1 . 1966 MEDDELELSER fra FORENINGEN TIL SVAMPEKUNDSKABENS FREMME. ORDINÆR GENERALFORSAMLING I 1963. Torsdag d. 21. februar 1963, kl. 20,00, afholdtes den ordinære generalforsamling i Botanisk Laboratoriums auditorium, Gothersgade 140. Fabrikant Sv. TROYER valgtes til dirigent og erklærede generalforsamlingen for lovligt indvarslet. a. Formanden, professor N. F ABRITIUS BucHwALD, aflagde derpå beretning for året 1962. Sommerens triste vejr, der var koldt og fugtigt, er der gjort nærmere rede for i indledningen til ekskursionsberetningerne for 1962 ("Friesia " 7: 134-135, 1963). N år artsantallet på svampeudstillingen trods de dårlige vejrforhold kom op på 256, skyldes det en stor ihærdighed hos de mange, der deltog i indsamlingen. Om udstillingen, se "Friesia" 7: 147-149, 1963. Blandt ekskursionerne var der særlig grund til at nævne den vellykkede weekend-tur den 8.-9. september til Andrarum i Skåne, hvor der blev fundet bemærkelsesværdigt mange eksemplarer af Pisolithus tinetorius (ærtetrøffel ). *) Efter ekskursionsberetningen vistes farvelysbilleder fra årets ekskursioner optaget af redaktør BØRGE RØNNE. Angående "Friesia" nævnte formanden, at heftet, der skulle gælde for 1962, var på trapperne. En glædelig ting var det, at overlærer K. BJØRNEKÆR havde modtaget 13.000,00 kr. af Carlsberg-Fondet til trykning af sin store monografi over de danske slimsvampe.*":- ) Fra undervisningsministeriet var modtaget 1.750,00 kr. for finansåret 1961/62. * ) Se i øvrigt "Friesia" 6: 356-358, 1961. ** ) Se " Friesia" 7 : 149A-296, 1963. - 79 - - 80 - Medlemstallet viste en tilbagegang på 4 medlemmer. I beretningsåret var 5 medlemmer afgået ved døden, nemlig: Sproglærer VALDEMAR CHRISTENSEN, overretssagfører W. KARNOV, fhv. retspræsident K. MUNDT, overlærer F. H. MØLLER og fil. dr. E. G. RENNERFELT. Formanden udtalte særlige mindeord over retspræsident K. MUNDT, fil. dr. E. G. RENNERFELDT og overlærer F. H. MØLLER. Over K. MUNDT og E. G. RENNERFELDT er der optaget nekrologer i "Friesia", henholdsvis i bd. 7: 105-106 (1963) og 7: 372-374 (1964). Om sidstnævnte udtalte formanden: "Ved overlærer F. H. MØLLER'S død har dansk, ja nordisk mykologi lidt et meget stort tab. Der vil utvivlsomt gå mange år, inden Danmark atter fostrer en så dygtig amatørmykolog. MØLLER begyndte allerede få år efter sin indtræden i foreningen i 1912 - han havde altså ved sin død netop været medlem i 50 år at publicere om svampe. Et par af hans første betydelige bidrag til dansk mykologi var fundene af den overordentlig giftige Teglstensrød Trævlehat (Inocybe patouillardii) syn. I. lateraria) og den ligeledes meget giftige Satans-Rørhat (Boletus satanas) ) begge arter påvist første gang i Danmark af MØLLER. Siden har han, som vi alle ved, skrevet meget. Jeg skal nøjes med blot at nævne hans to hovedværker: "Fungi of the Færoes", I-II (1945,1958) og den store Champignon-monografi: "Danish Psalliota species" (1950-52). Det sidstnævnte arbejde må vel betegnes som hans betydeligste og har vundet almindelig anerkendelse overalt i den mykologiske verden. Den fremragende svenske agaricaceforsker, fil. dr. SETH LUNDELL skrev, da han hørte om overlærer MØLLER'S død, bl. a.: "Han var den store svampentusiasten ...... Fremforallt genom sin overdådiga Psalliotamonografi kommer hans namn alltid att leva, - et sannskyldigt monumentum aere perennius!(( Personligt vil jeg mindes MØLLER som min bedste mykologiske ven gennem 40 år. I næsten 20 år var han min medredaktør af "Friesia". En mere nidkær, samvittighedsfuld og pligtopfyldende medredaktør kan ingen ønske sig". - En nekrolog over overlærer MØLLER vil senere fremkomme i "Friesia". Vi vil ære disses minde. b. Kassereren fremlagde derefter regnskabet, som blev godkendt. c. De fire bestyrelsesmedlemmer, Fru ELISABETH ANDERSEN, professor N. F. BUCHWALD, amanuensis J. KOCH og redaktør BØRGE RØNNE og suppleanten, afdelingsbestyrer PAUL NEERGAARD, der afgik efter tur, blev alle genvalgt. d. Som revisor genvalgtes ekspeditionssekretær K. RANKOV. - 81 - e. Formanden forelagde et forslag om at udnævne fil. dr. h. c. SETH LUNDELL til æresmedlem af foreningen. Særligt fremhævede formanden SETH LUNDELL'S udforskning af den svenske hymenomycetflora og hans medvirken ved udgivelsen af exsikkatværket "Fungi exsiccati suecici". Forslaget blev vedtaget med akklamation (se "Friesia" 7:107, 1963). f. Følgende ekskursioner blev foreslået: Boserup Skov og Skovvænge samt Hvalsø-skovene, Romele Klint, Tisvilde Hegn, Aastrup Skov og Kongsøre Skov. g. Eventuelt. Intet at bemærke. Generalforsamlingen hævet. Formanden takkede dirigenten. sign. Sv. TROYER Efter generalforsamlingen holdt forsøgsleder, havebrugskandidat C. RIBER RASMUSSEN et interessant foredrag med titlen: "Nyere fremskridt inden for champignondyrkningen". Efter mødet samledes man til tvangfrit samvær på Universitetets Spisestuer, Nørregade 10. J. KOCH EKSKURSIONER I 1963. Søndag den 19. maj 1963. Ekskursion til B o s e r u p S k o v og S k o v h u s V æ n g e. Ca. 45 deltagere, hvoraf 31 med bus. Efter en usædvanlig lang vinter med is og sne blev det endelig forår. Bøgeskoven havde kun været fuldt udsprunget et par dage, da ekskursionen fandt sted. Bøgebladene var endnu smukt lysegrønne, violerne netop kommet i blomst, slåenbuskene var lige ved at springe ud, og skovbundsfloraen, som er så rig både i Boserup og Skovhus Vænge, stod på sit højeste. Det måtte være Morkeltid ! Men nej! De var endnu ikke rigtigt kommet frem, så der fandtes kun få eksemplarer (Morchella esculenta) i Boserup og slet ingen i Skovhus Vænge. Jordtemperaturen var åbenbart endnu for lav. Skønt det øsregnede klo 6-7, var skovbunden allerede blevet tør ved ankomsten til Boserup Skov, og det blev tørvejr resten af dagen. På Hotel Postgaarden, Køge, hvor frokosten skulle være indtaget, var der ikke plads, og vi kørte derfor videre til Vallø Strandhotel, syd for Køge, efter at vi ved en opringning havde forvisset os om, at FRIESIA VIII - 82- hotellet havde plads til et halvt hundrede frokostgæster. Efter frokosten kørte vi kl. 13112 til Skovhus Vænge, og kl. 16 forlod vi parkeringspladsen ved Yderholm Kro og var i København ved 17-tiden. Storsvampefloraen, især Bladhatfloraen, var yderst ringe på begge lokaliteter, øjensynligt af samme årsag som angivet for Morklernes vedkommende. Opmærksomheden koncentreredes derfor for en del til de parasitiske Mikromyceter. Der er grund til at nævne, at ny for den danske flora er vist H eterosporium vegetum) der fandtes i Skovhus Vænge på en nedfalden Bøgepind sammen med Hypoxylon fragiforme) samt at Fusidium eburneum fandtes på en for landet ny vært, Ficaria verna. laIt iagttoges 56 arter.

Deltagerantal 27 med tog til Slotspavillonens st., hvortil ankomst kl. 9,16; en halv snes deltagere kom i egen befordring. - August måned var usædvanlig regnfuld, med en samlet nedbør på 154 mm (normalt 83 mm) og således endnu fugtigere end nogen måned i de ellers regnrige somre 1960-62 (jfr. Friesia 7: 134-135).*) Da temperaturen tilmed for hele måneden lå lidt over normalen, var der således skabt betingelser for en god svampesæson. Svampeudbyttet på denne og de følgende efterårsekskursioner skuffede da heller ikke, tværtimod. Der fandtes på denne ekskursion 159 arter, hvoraf alene 99 Agaricalesj som sædvanligt på denne årstid dominerede rør- og skørhattene, med henholdsvis 10 og 19 arter. Fra Slotspavillonens st. gik man gennem anlægget omkring S l o t s p a v i Il o n e n, der viste sig at være en god lokalitet for Boleter(Boletus miniatoporus og B. edulis) og Kantareller; her fandtes også 4 smukke eksemplarer af Tue-Poresvamp (Polyporus jrondosus) ved foden af gamle Ege. Derefter gik turen ind i L i Il e D y r eh a v e, hvor bl. a. et enkelt mindre Egetræ tiltrak sig opmærksomheden ved dets mange hvide blade, som lyste langt bort. Bladene viste sig at være tæt dækket med peritecier af Egemeldug ; endvidere note*) Man skal helt tilbage til 1891 for at træffe en tilsvarende stor nedbør i august. - 84 - redes her de sjældnere rørhatte: Boletus castaneus og B. pulverulentus samt Russula sororia under Eg. Ved 12-tiden indtoges frokosten i restaurant "Rosenhaven" ved Frederiksborg Slotssø. I kronen af et stort Gråpæretræ (Pyrus communis) i restaurationshaven sad taglagt stillede frugtlegemer af Polyporus sulphureus. Efter en demonstration af formiddagens svampefund sejlede vi over Slotssøen til I n d el u k k e t, hvor vi straks overraskedes af en regnbyge, der dog kun blev kortvarig. I Indelukket fandtes ikke nær så mange svampe som i Dyrehaven. På et gammelt Bøgestød voksede en rig flora: Crepidotus moZlis) Polyporus giganteus) P. varius og Stereum rugosum. Peritecier af Egemeldug fandtes også her på en gammel Eg's lavt siddende blade*). Fra Indelukket gik vi ind i Frederiksborg Slotsh a v e, hvor det interessantes te fund var den sjældne Thelephora spiculosa) der voksede op ad græsstængler, og ekskursionen sluttede på "J æ g e r b a k k e n", hvor der fandtes talrige i græs voksende eksemplarer af Hummer-Skørhat (Russula xerampelina) i mange udviklingsstadier . Udbyttet af spisesvampe var ret stort. Der indsamledes mange Kantareller, "Karl Johan", Punktstokket Rørhat og enkelte eksemplarer af Mandel-Champignon og Pigsvamp. Ved udarbejdelsen af den følgende artsliste er foruden egne notater benyttet lister modtaget fra fru ELISABETH ANDERSEN, overlærer M. P. CHRISTIANSEN, tandlæge K. HAUERSLEV og tandlæge J. E. BREGNHØJ LARSEN. D = Lille Dyrehave; F = Frederiksborg Slotshave ; I = Indelukket; J = Jægerbakken; S = Slotspavillonens Anlæg.

Peziza badia D, cupularis J vesiculosa D Ustulina maxima (Tilia) F *) Fundet af peritecier hos Egemeldug (Microsphaera alphitoides) i stor mængde må betegnes som ekskursionens mest interessante oplevelse. Det skulle senere vise sig, at Egemelduggen også havde udviklet peritecier på andre lokaliteter i landet; bl. a. fandtes talrige peritecier på egetræer i Landbohøjskolens have, Rolighedsvej. Der er tidligere mange gange søgt efter peritecier, men indtil 1963 var de kun iagttaget 2-3 gange i Danmark (jfr. FERDINANDSEN & JØRGENSEN: Skovtræernes Sygdomme, 1938-39).

Søndag den 8. september 1963. Ekskursion til G a n l ø s e E g e d, K r o g e n l u n d og U g g e l ø s e S k o v. Ca. 55 deltagere mødte op ved togets ankomst til Farum st. kl. 9,49, hvorfra de i taxa og private vogne transporteredes videre til vestkanten af Bastrup Sø; her tog ekskursionen sin begyndelse med en gennemsøgning af Ganløse Eged. Af mere bemærkelsesværdige fund kan nævnes Boletus appendiculatus og B. porphyrosporus) som begge fandtes flere steder, Clitocybe injundibulijormis med et frugtlegeme i superposition i normal stilling, Lactarius volemus) flere eksemplarer, og en snes individer af Amanita phalloides) hvoraf et enkelt med en stærk afvigende farve, nærmest glinsende grå og kun med en ganske svag grønlig tone i hatranden, men med tydeligt vatret stok. Frokosten indtoges på traktørstedet ved Bure Sø, som desværre viste sig at være alt for lille til det store rykind; adskillige måtte betjene sig selv, og mange nåede endda ikke at få en kop kaffe. Om nogen svampedemonstration kunne der under disse forhold ikke blive tale. Efter frokosten gik turen op gennem den vestlige del af Krogenlund, som væsentligt består af gammel Bøgeskov. Her var det interessanteste fund Hydnotrya tulasnei. Sammen med redaktør B. RØNHE, - 87 - der fandt det første eksemplar, lykkedes det os på morbund under en gammel Bøg at finde 15-20 eksemplarer. De ti største frugtlegemer, der tilsammen havde en friskvægt på 86 g -X- ), havde følgende mål: 4.75X3.75X2.25 cm 4.25 X 4.25 X 2.50 4.25 X 3.00 X 2.00 4.00 X 3.50 X 1.50 4.00 X 3.25 X 1.75 - 3.50 X 3.00 X 2.00 cm 3.50 X 2.50 X 1.50 3.25 X 2.75 X 1.75 3.00 X 2.25 X 1.00 2.00 X 1.50 X 1.00 - Et andet interessant fund var Hypholoma cotoneum) ved hvis gule stokbasis der fandtes sklerotier:>:--X- ) På den kendte store hængebøg i den nordlige udkant af Krogenlund voksede Armillaria mucida. Ekskursionen afsluttedes med et på grund af den stærkt fremrykkede tid kortvarigt besøg i Uggeløse Skov. Her voksede Schizophyllum commune og Polyporus hirsutus i stor mængde på tørre, barksprukne, gamle Bøgekævler, der havde ligget for længe i skoven. Der noteredes lige som på den forrige ekskursion et ret betydeligt artsantal, nemlig 139, hvoraf 90 var Agaricales; der noteredes ingen resupinate arter. Udbyttet af spisesvampe var godt og bestod især af Kantarel, Trompetsvamp, Pigsvamp, Punktstokket Rørhat, PerleFluesvamp og Rabarber-Parasolhat.

Andersens Boulevard, hvor 27 deltagere samledes kl. 8. Under køreturen fortalte redaktør B. RØNNE i korte træk om inddæmningen af Lammefjord og Sidingefjord. Samtidig gjorde han opmærksom på, at da Gundestrup Kro kun kunne huse 30 personer med "medbragte madkurve", var frokosten blevet forlagt til Vig Kro, hvor vi senere blev vel modtaget, og hvor arrangementet klappede fuldkomment. Ingenør HERTZ gennemgik her efter frokosten i korte træk formiddagens fund. Efter ankomsten til Grevinge Skov ved 9,15-tiden spredtes man i terrænet. Af særlige fund i denne skov kan nævnes: Xylaria longipes på bøg; M erulius serpens også på bøg; Trametes mollis på asp; Hypholoma cotoneum med sklerotier*); Lactarius acer (eet eksemplar) ; Hebeloma (Pholiota) radicosum i adskillige eksemplarer.

S. HERTZ. Søndag den 6. oktober 1963. Ekskursion til V r a n g e s k o v og S k j o l d n æ s h o l m. 56 deltagere. I gråvejr startede man med bus lidt over kl. 8 fra Studenderforeningen og nåede frem til Vrangeskov Kro til planlagt tid, ca. kl. 9,30. Efter at professor N. F. BUCHWALD havde givet en lille oversigt over de historiske begivenheder omkring mordet på Knud Lavard i 1131, gennemsøgte man "skoven med de vrange bøge". Noget rigt svampeflor var her ikke; der er dog noteret 140 arter herfra. På et bøgetræ bag kroen fandtes mange frugtlegemer af Polyporus pjeifferi) og på et dødt, kroget bøgetræ foran kroen fandtes følgende 7 arter: Coprinus micaceus) Dictydiaetalium plumbeum) Hypoxylon coccineum) Libertella jaginea) Polyporus jomentarius) Psathyrella disseminata og Ustulina maxima. Efter frokosten og fru ELISABETH ANDERSEN'S demonstration af de indsamlede svampe fortsattes turen til Skjoldnæsholm. På vejen dertil gjorde man et øjeblik holdt for at betragte mindekorset for KNUD LAVARD. I skoven ved Skjoldnæsholm fandtes straks en interessant lokalitet i en beplantning med Cypres, hvor der før havde stået Rødgran; det bløde mostæppe var rigt på svampe, især Cortinarius cinnamomeus, Lepiota amianthina) Lepiota carcharias og Limacium pustulatum. Efter et besøg på Gyldenløveshøj, hvor det blæste koldt, tiltrådtes hjemturen; dog måtte man først beundre to flotte eksemplarer af Pholiota aurea) som fru ASTA PETERSEN havde fundet ved vejen. Dagen var forløbet godt, til dels i solskin og med kun en enkelt regnbyge ved frokosttid. Ved hjælp af lister fra professor N. F. BUCHWALD, kaptajn M. P. CHRISTIANSEN og ingeniør S. HERTZ kommer den fuldstændige liste på 202 arter og varieteter til a t se således ud: V = Vrange skov, S = Skjoldnæsholm. - Myxomycetes Ceratiomyxa fruticulosa s Dictydiaethalium plumbeum (Fagus) V Lycogala epidendron V, S Trichia varia V Ascomycetes Ascotremella faginea (Fagus) V Coryne sarcoides V Helvella crispa V, lacunosa V Hypoxylon coccineum (Fagus) V Nectria cinnabarina (Fagus) V, (Fagus) S Peziza aurantia V) catinus (cupularis) V Phaeobulgaria polymorpha (Quercus) S Quaternaria persoonii (Libertella faginea) (Fagus) V Ustulina maxima (Fagus) V Xylaria hypoxylon V Trernellales Calocera cornea (Fagus) V, viscosa S Dacryomyces deliquescens (Picea) V, S Helicobasidium purpureum (på gren af Fagus) V Tremella foliacea (Betula) S, mesenterica (Fagus) V, (Fagus) S 92 Daedalia gibbosa (Fagus) V Grandinia mutabilis (Fagus) V Hydnum repandum V, S Lenzites betulina (Fagus) V Merulius corium (papyrinus) V Odontia bicolor (Picea) S Peniophora cinerea V, incarnata (Fagus) V, (Picea) S, longispora (Fagus) V, velutina (Fagus) V Polyporus adustus (Fagus) V, annosus (Picea abies) alm.

Om formiddagen afsøgtes den sydøstlige del af Dyrehaven, og af fund kan nævnes Hydnum coralloides på en i hvert fald for Danmark ny vært, Ulmus glabra.*) Desuden kan nævnes Tremella joliacea på Eg og Phaeolepiota (Pholiota) vahlii. Frokosten spiste s på "Kildeøen", for manges vedkommende i det fri, lokket af solen. Om eftermiddagen gik man ad Indelukket til, men da der ekskursioneredes under vejs, nåede kun et fåtal frem. Indelukket bør stryges, da det ikke er første gang, man ikke er nået frem, og man må om eftermiddagen i stedet for koncentrere sig om den sydlige del af Dyrehaven, i hvert fald hvis udgangspunktet er "Kildeøen".

Veterinær- og Landbohøjskole et svampekursus mandagene den 23. og 30. september og den 7. og 14. oktober 1963, hver gang kl. 19,30-21,00. Kurset omfattede dels en gennemgang af storsvampenes systematik og biologi, dels en vejledning i bestemmelse af storsvampe. I kurset, der lededes af foreningens formand og sekretær, deltog 22 medlemmer. Prisen pr. deltager var 25 kr. *) Sml.

France 80: 102-112, 1964). ' - 96 - ORDINÆR GENERALFORSAMLING I 1964. Fredag den 28. februar 1964, klo 20,00, afholdtes den ordinære generalforsamling i Botanisk Laboratoriums auditorium, Gothersgade 140. Fabrikant Sv. TROYER valgtes til dirigent og konstaterede, at geneneralforsamlingen var lovligt indvarslet. a. Formanden, professor N. FABRITIUS BUCHWALD, aflagde derefter beretning for året 1963. I tilknytning til omtalen af de enkelte ekskursioner fremvistes farvelysbilleder, et festligt og godt indslag. Foruden ekskursionsbillederne vistes der farvelysbilleder af den sjældne Rørhat, Boletus satanas. Billederne var taget af politiadvokat BIRGER WILCKE, som havde fundet Satans-Rørhatten i det sydlige Fyn. I 1963 var der ingen svampeudstilling, men der afholdtes et svampekursus. Nærmere herom side 95. I slutningen af 1963 udsendtes et stort hæfte af "Friesia" på næsten 160 sider, det første hæfte af det nye bind 7. Hovedafhandlingen er en detaljeret redegørelse af fil. dr. LENNART HOLM & professor J. A. NANNFELDT for det berømteste af alle svampeexsiccater, nemlig det af E . FRIES udgivne exsiccat "Scleromyceti Sueciae", der udsendtes i 10 fascikler indeholdende 340 svampearter, ganske overvejende Pyrenomycetes) udgivet 1819-1822 (1825). Hæftet indeholder desuden et billede af foreningens første udenlandske æresmedlem dr. h. c. SETH LUNDELL og en medlemsfortegnelse. Næste hæfte var på trapperne og vil indeholde overlærer K. BJ0RNEKÆR'S og grosserer A. B. KLINGE'S store monografi over danske Slimsvampe. Fra undervisningsministeriet modtoges for 1962/63 kr. 1.750.-; for nærværende finansår er der, som sidste år, søgt om kr. 2.000.-. Medlemstallet var desværre gået tilbage fra 482 pr. 1.1.1963 til 463 pr. 1.1.1964. Antallet af udenlandske medlemmer er glædeligvis i stadig stigen og udgør 140 pr. 1.1.1964. Også i dette beretningsår har foreningen lidt store tab ved dødsfald: Professor E. GAUMANN, grosserer A. B. KLINGE, frk. R. MUNKVAD og direktør M. P. WILKENS, alle medlemmer, der havde stået i foreningen i mange år:r.) På en af de sidste dage døde den betydelige schweiziske mykolog og plantepatolog E. GAUMANN (1893-1963), kort efter at være fyldt *) Nekrologer er optaget i "Friesia" (Bd. 7, 1966) over grosserer KLINGE (s. 375-376) og direktør WILKENS (s. 377-378). - 97 - 70 år. Han var vel på sine ældre dage foreningens mest berømte medlem; han havde været abonnent på "Friesia" siden dets start i 1932*). Deres minde blev æret. b. Kassereren fremlagde herefter det reviderede regnskab, der blev godkendt uden bemærkninger. Af regnskabets poster kan nævnes, at udgiften til trykning af det netop udkomne nummer af "Friesia" beløb sig til kr. 13.606. c. Bestyrelsesmedlemmerne overlærer K. BJØRNEKÆR, tandlæge K. HAUERSLEV og ingeniør S. HERTz afgik efter tur og blev genvalgt. Suppleanten, mag. scient. fru E. LøHR ønskede ikke genvalg, og formanden foreslog som ny 1. suppleant dr. JOHANNES JØRGENSEN, som valgtes. d. Som revisor genvalgtes K. RANKov. e. Som emner til ekskursioner blev foreslået Kongelunden, Mogenstrup As, Bornholm (week-endtur). En sommertur til Tisvilde Hegn med tog eller til Rådvad. Endvidere week-endtur til Midtjylland eller Corseli tze-skovene. f. Under eventuelt oplæste formanden et brev fra ingeniør E. TRYLL, hvori denne foreslog en ændring af forenings navnet. Formanden redegjorde for forenings navnets tilblivelseshistorie og konkluderede, at han og andre i bestyrelsen fandt det uheldigt at skifte navn, idet det kun ville skabe uklarhed, men erklærede, at generalforsamlingen hverken kunne forkaste eller godkende forslaget, da dette ikke var fremsendt til bestyrelsen inden afvigte nytår, som det skulle have været efter foreningens love. Generalforsamlingen hævedes, og dirigenten takkedes. (sign.) Sv. TROYER. Professor N. F. BUCHWALD holdt efter generalforsamlingen følgende foredrag: "I hundredåret for tre danske mykologers fødsel". De tre mykologer er: JAKOB E. LANGE (1864-1941), POUL LARSEN (1864-1938) og OVE RoSTRUP (1864-1933). Foredraget ledsagedes af lysbilleder. - Efter mødet var der tvangfrit samvær på Universitetets Spisestuer. J. KOCH. *) Nekrologer findes bl. a. i Mitt. Naturforsch. Ges. Bern, N.

Landet var usædvanligt grønt og frodigt og præsenterede sig særligt godt i det smukke solskinsvejr. Boserup Skov gav mange eksemplarer af Spiselig Morkel (Morchella esculenta) og en enkelt Hætte-Morkel (M. rimosipes). Om eftermiddagen gik hovedparten af deltagerne gennem Herthadalen til Ledreborg Slotspark; de øvrige af selskabet kørte. Eftermiddagsturen volder vanskeligheder for bilisterne, der må tilbage for at hente deres vogne. Det var nok rimeligt af denne grund at lægge turen noget om. Kun ganske få Agaricaceer noteredes. De resupinate arter er samlet og bestemt af tandlægerne K. HAUERSLEV og J. E. BREGNH0J LARSEN, og de parasitiske micromyceter af licentiatstuderende L. A. HoBOLTH. Der fandtes ialt 64 arter.

KOCH. Søndag den 23. august 1964. Ekskursion til R u d e S k o v. Der var 25 deltagere med toget til Birkerød st., hvortil vi ankom kl. 9,54; en halv snes deltagere kørte i egen befordring. Sommeren 1964 havde været kølig og juni og juli haft ret mange regnsvejrsdage, men august var mod sædvane meget fattig på nedbør (sml. årene 1962 og 1963, "Friesia" 7: 134-135 og 8:83). Ugen forud for ekskursionen var ganske tør, og solen strålede på hele ekskursionsdagen. Om formiddagen gik turen forbi Ebberødgaard og Skovrøddam. Frokosten spistes på "Lollikhus", og efterfulgtes af en demonstration af de indsamlede svampe. Om eftermiddagen fortsatte man gennem den østlige del af Rudeskov og gennem Holte Villaby til stationen, hvorfra de fleste deltagere tog hjem med toget 16,48. Af de fundne svampearter må bl. a. fremhæves følgende: Boletus pachypus) Helicomyces roseus) der dannede smukke, lillafarvede overtræk på Bøgestød, Helotium monilijerum på Bøgestød, som var angrebet af Bispora monilioides) Hypocrea citrina på og omkring stærkt frønnet Egestød, Schizophyllum commune på grene af Larix) Rutstroemia petiolorum på fugtigt liggende, visne Egeblade samt Puccinia i* - 100 - komarovii på Impatiens parviflora) en rustsvamp, som ikke tidligere synes at være rapporteret fra Danmark. Skønt der blev noteret ikke færre end 162 arter, deriblandt 87 Agaricales) må svampefloret ikke desto mindre betegnes som meget pauvert. Der samledes næsten ingen spisesvampe, væsentligt Boletus edulis og B. appendiculatus. De res up ina te svampearter er bestemt af tandlæge K. HAUERSLEV.

Det tørre vejr, som kendetegnede august, fortsatte ind i september måned, og følgen blev, at svampefloret også fortsatte med at være fattigt. Der noteredes ganske vist 120 arter på denne ekskursion, men heraf hørte kun 40 til AgaricaIes) medens de øvrige overvejende var træboende former, bl. a. 31 resupinate arter. Ekskursionen indledtes med et besøg i den store Gavnø Slotspark, som viste sig at være en forholdsvis rig svampelokalitet. Her vokser mange sjældne træarter, og på flere af de gamle træer fandtes Pore- - 102 - Fig. 1. Fomes robustus på Quercus robur) Lønned Skov, Gavnø.

Formiddagen afsluttedes med et besøg kl. 11-12 i slotskapellet, hvor vi først påhørte en højttalerudsendelse (indtalt ved baron REEDTZ-THOTT) om Gavnø Slots historie og derefter under kyndig vejledning vistes rundt i slottets storslåede malerisamling, den største privatsamling i Skandinavien.-x-) *) I 1960 overlod den nuværende ejer, baron AXEL REEDTZ-THOTT Gavnø Slot, parken og den væsentlige del af det historiske indbo (herunder malerisamlingen) til en selvstændig institution: Gavnø Fonden. - 104 - Frokosten indtoges kl. 12,15-13,30 i "Karetmagerens Hus", en smuk gammel bindingsværksbygning, nu indrettet til restaurant. Efter en svampedemonstration kørte vi til Lønned Skov på sydspidsen af øen Gavnø. Den mest interessante lokalitet her var græssletten omkring baron REEDTZ-THOTT'S sommerhus, "Sofienlyst", hvor der vokser mange gamle, fritstående ege. På et enkelt træ taltes ikke færre end 34 frugtlegemer af Polyporus (Fomes) robustus (se fig. log 2); i øvrigt noteredes på Egene: Daedalea quercina) Polyporus dryadeus ved grunden af en stamme, P. fumosus på et stød og P. sulphureus i kronen af et træ. I Lønned Skov fandtes bl. a. den af M. P. CHRISTIANSEN beskrevne Phlebia (Peniophora) danica på gren af Fraxinus. Godt 16,00 forlod vi Gavnø og var hjemme i København ved 18tiden efter en vel tilbragt dag trods det noget pauvre svampeudbytte. Foreningen havde gennem Gavnø Godskontor indhentet særlig tilladelse til fri entre til slotsparken og slottet samt til ekskursion i Lønned Skov.

September måneds tørre vejr fortsattes ind i oktober og satte sit præg på ekskursionens svampe udbytte, men i øvrigt blev søndagen den 4. oktober en dejlig efterårsdag med strålende sol og vindstille. Om formiddagen ekskursioneredes i Køge Strandskov, hvis vestlige del - vest for volden - i de senere år er blevet forvandlet fra Fyrreskov til Bøgeskov. Som sædvanligt bød skoven på interessante ting som Flammula penetrans i stor mængde på Fyrregrene, Lepiota clypeolaria og L. seminuda omkring bevoksninger af Brændenælder, Mycena janthina sensu RICKEN med smuk lilla stok, hat og lamelrande, Omphalia pyxidata) Pluteus salicinus på Quercus og Polyporus annosus på Pinus silvestris) flere steder. Efter frokost på Vallø Strandhotel afholdtes svampedemonstration, og derpå gik turen videre til Pramskov og Purlund. Udbyttet i disse to småskove, der overvejende består af Bøg, var meget ringe; et af de interessantes te fund var Polyporus (Fomes) pfeifferi ved grunden af en gammel Bøg.

Gruppen blev genfundet ved nordsiden af søen på en for denne svamp typisk lokalitet: dyb, fed muld i kraftig omsætning, bevokset med en rig nældevegetation. Der taltes 140 store, veludviklede eksemplarer på et område af størrelsen % X 1% m. På hjemvejen gik vi en lille omvej for at syne en belægning af slimsvampen BrejeZdia maxima i VON LANGEN'S Plantage. Svampen dækkede næsten fladen af et 8tort bøgestød og var desuden "klatret" op i nogle nærstående nælder, omkring hvis stængler den havde dannet belægninger, der af størrelse og farve mindede om den valseformede frugtstand hos Dunhammer.
