The Fungarium of Yugra State University is a systematic reference collection of fungi organized as a part of the Yugra State University Biological Collection (YSU BC). The main purpose of the Fungarium is to initiate and facilitate systematic studies of fungi in the region. It also serves for education and can be used by specialists in different applied disciplines.
The taxonomical structure of the collections currently includes the total number of species represented – about 1.5K, genera represented – about 500, families represented – about 150. The majority of the specimens in the YSU Fungarium belong to the Basidiomycota (about 80%), less to Ascomycota (10%) with few specimens of Zygomycota and Myxomycota. The majority of specimens were collected in Khanty-Mansi Autonomous Okrug (90%), with 11 other regions of Russia represented by small numbers.
The collection is gradually growing and is open to prospective users in systematics, ecology and geography as well as applied disciplines of mycology.
Purpose
The collection is gradually growing and is opened to prospective users such as taxonomists interested in work with a particular group of fungi represented in the region and other research areas of basic and applied mycology. We support practices of actual visits for work with the collection and remote access to the database and photographs. You are kindly welcome to visit the YSU Fungarium!
Sampling Description
Study Extent
Currently the database holds about 10K collection objects, 18K preparations, and 5 Type specimens (1 isotype, 1 holotype and 3 paratypes).Sampling
Specimens in the collection are accumulated by direct observation and extraction of fruiting structures of fungi. The two major approaches are used: observation and collection of fruiting structures of larger fungi (macromycetes) by naked eye, and lens observations of substrates followed by extraction of smaller fruiting structures of discomycetes, hyphomycetes, pyrenomycetes etc. A common procedure of collecting, describing and preserving specimens recommended for inventories of macrofungi is used (Mueller et al., 2004, Biodiversity of fungi).Quality Control
27% of the collection specimens have been cited in one to four publications. A total of 107 publications are linked to specimens in the database, including journal papers, descriptions in the Red Book and publications of specimens in Internet mycological forums (AscoFrance, MushroomObserver, iNaturalist and others). The collections are made by the trained mycologists or amateur mycologists, the total number of collectors – 14, the majority of specimens (87%) in the collection were collected by one person (Filippova N.). Identification was performed by a total of 30 specialists through direct work in the Fungarium (Filippova N., Bulyonkova T. – a total of 5150 specimens), in other laboratories with loaned material (Zmitrovich I. – 50 specimens, Rebriev Yu. – 34, Novozhilov Yu. – 9, Khimich Yu. – 27, Popov E. – 15, Blagoveschenskaya E. – 12, and others), or making comments on identification through Internet mycological forums (Baral H. – 27 specimens, and others). About 20% of the collection specimens are currently not identified to the species rank (representatives of the systematically complex groups, like Russula, Cortinarius, Mycena, Entoloma, Inocybe, Clitocybe, and others).Method steps
- Fruitbodies of larger fungi are photographed and their growing conditions are described in the field, extracted from the substrate and packed in aluminium foil to be processed in the laboratory later on the day of collection.
- Macro-morphological features of sporocarps are described according to schemes required for specific systematic groups.
- Spore prints are obtained when the number of sporocarps is sufficient.
- Sporocarps are dried after processing in a drying oven under 50°C and stored as dry specimens in Ziploc bags and kraft-paper envelopes.
- The preparations are made from vital or dried specimens soaked in tap water, ammonia, or KOH (10%), with dyes when necessary (Melzer solution and Congo red).
- Microscopical characters are studied using a Zeiss Stemi-2000C stereomicroscope (providing a magnification from 6x to 50x), and Zeiss Axiostar transmitted light microscope (50x to 1000x) with Achromat 5/0.12, 10/0.25, 40/0.65 (dry) and Achromat 100/1.25 (oil immersion) lenses.
- Microphotographs are obtained under transmitted light microscopes using a AxioCam ERc5c digital camera and processed with AxioVision software.
- Measurements made using AxioVision software.
- Since 2021, the barcoding (sequencing) of collection has been initiated. We relied primarily on the ITS region using the ITS1-F and ITS4 primers TEF1 and LSU regions were amplified occasionally.
- Ready sequences are uploaded to the YSU Fungarium database in Specify 7. Sequence metadata, the edited sequence and original files are saved. Each sample may correspond to one or several sequences (different regions). Each sequence may have one or several original files with their sequencing parameters. Primer parameters are filled in a separate table.
- During the two years of the project, over 1500 sequences from about 2000 specimens were performed. About a third was a part of the revision of the large genus Cortinarius. Another large part was within the effort of raised bog fungi barcoding. The remaining specimens were from revisions of minor groups, students projects and sequencing of noteworthy finds and taxa potentially new to region or to science in general.
- Currently the dataset presents abotu 500 sequences as DNA-derived extension. The sequences linked to their specimens and contain 10 fields describing the sequence and its metadata.
