A preliminary survey of fungi at the UWM Field Station

Abstract

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 is a summary of all taxa, 147 species, that have been recorded from the Field Station to date. The groups represented include 8 Myxomycetes, 10 Deuteromycetes , 25 Ascomycetes , 33 Agaricales , 38 Aphyl1ophorales , 4 Gasteromycetes, and 28 Heterobasidiomycetes.
