A Survey Of Fungi At The University Of Wisconsin-Waukesha Field Station, Alan D. Parker
A Survey Of Fungi At The University Of Wisconsin-Waukesha Field Station, Alan D. Parker
Field Station Bulletins
A long-term study of higher fungi and Myxomycetes, primarilyfrom the xeric oak woods, was started in 1978. Collections have been made periodically since then, and recent sampling in conifer plantations indicates that characteristic ectomycorrhizal species of Basidiomycetes are beginning to appear in these communities. To date seven Myxomy-cetes, 22 Ascomycetes, and 107 Basidiomycetes have been identifiedfrom various habitats. These data will be incorporated into a master list of fungi generated from long-term surveys at several additional sites in southeastern Wisconsin.
A Preliminary Survey Of The Fungi Of Sapa Spruce Bog, Alan D. Parker
A Preliminary Survey Of The Fungi Of Sapa Spruce Bog, Alan D. Parker
Field Station Bulletins
An extensive study of the fungi of Sapa Spruce Bog was started during the summer of 1989. The site was divided into three collecting zones the swamp hardwoods surrounding the bog, the tamrac and black spruce zone, and the central, open sphagnum mat zone. Greatest species diversity has been observed in the swamp hardwoods; many fungi identified from this zone have also been recorded from the Field Station beech/maple woods (Parker, 1987 and 1988). Factors contributing to the greater diversity of fungi in this zone include the composition of leaf litter and humus, the larger amount of downed logs in …

A preliminary checklist totaling 147 species of fungi identified from the Field Station was published recently (Parker, 1987). Extensive collecting in the beech-maple hardwoods and one trip into the cedar-tamarack swamp during July-October 1987 have provided records of an additional 54 species. Among the fungi identified during 1987 are the following noteworthy taxa: Thuemenella cubispora (Ellis & Holw.) Boedjn - Ascomycetes, Hypocreales

Three previous accounts of fungi occurring at the Field Station have appeared in the Bulletin. The first inventory of seventy-five species, including 29 plant pathogens, was published by Baxter (1970). Baxter and Bronaugh (1974) isolated four species of aquatic Hyphomycetes during their study of this group in southeastern Wisconsin. Ciombor and Dibben (1984) identified 29 fungi, 23 of which had not been previously reported. In addition, Baxter (1973) listed the following five fungi as new records for Wisconsin, but did not indicate where they were collected. The present paper reports 71 species, 46 of which are new records. Also included …

Fungal Flora Of Southeastern Wisconsin, Kristine Ciombor, Martyn J. Dibben
Field Station Bulletins
Since its reorganization in 1981, one goal of the Wisconsin Mycological Society has been a comprehensive long-term survey of fleshy and other fungi of southeastern Wisconsin. Over a period of years, random collections are to be made at a series of selected foray sites to document spring through fall floras. The UWM Field Station is one of these foray sites. Habitat and locality are to be recorded for each specimen along with field characteristics. Each identified collection will be dried and filed in the herbarium of the Milwaukee Public Museum. To date 35 specimens representing 29 species are on file. …

A Study Of Aquatic Hyphomycetes Of Southeastern Wisconsin, John W. Baxter, Juanita Bronaugh
Field Station Bulletins
This paper presents a portion of the results of a distributional and ecological study of aquatic Hyphomycetes in seven counties of southeastern Wisconsin. Results of the water chemistry studies and laboratory studies on the physiology of these fungi will be published separately in Mycopathologia et Mycologia Applicata. Part of this research was supported by a grant from the Graduate Faculty Research Committee. In the present investigation 28 species, representing 21 genera, were found growing on submerged decaying leaves in streams, lakes and bogs. Three previously undescribed species were found as loose spores in foam samples from Cedar Creek and Sauk …

Mycological Research At The Field Station, John Baxter
Field Station Bulletins
During the past three years, several mycological research projects have been conducted partially at the Field Station or have used research material obtained at the Station. These include a study of cellulose-digesting fungi from soils of the area (Gatford, 1969), an investigation of lignin digestion by wood-rotting fungi collected at the Station (Flashinski, 1970), and life cycle studies of certain rust fungi of southeastern Wisconsin (Baxter, 1971). At the present time two new mycological research projects are being planned.

The UWM Field Station now has a mycological reference collection, for use in identifying fungi of the area. Botanists and zoologists doing research at the Field Station will find the collection useful. It can also be used by visiting groups who have some interest in identifying the more conspicuous fungi that are likely to be seen during a tour of the area.
