The Biota of the Gordon Natural Area - Fungi
Macrofungi at the GNA
A good deal of mycological investigation has taken place at the GNA. In 2009, undergrad Lauryn Levy, under the supervision of Dr. Greg Turner, conducted a survey of the GNA macrofungi, in which she noted 21 species of fungi (and one slime mold). For the next eight years, no mycological work appears to have taken place at the GNA, other than occasional photographing of fungi by then GNA Stewardship Manager Gerry Hertel and GNA Student Intern William Ricci.
Beginning in late 2017, GNA Student Intern Alexandra Hodowanec and GNA Stewardship Manager Nur Ritter began photographing and documenting the fungi (and slime molds) at the Gordon. This work has continued since that time with other student interns who have surveyed, identified, and catalogued the GNA’s fungi. Student Interns Paige Vermeulen, Maribeth Beatty, and Ariana Rivellini have all been at the forefront of this work.
To date, 378 species of fungi, in 240 Genera, 109 Families, and 33 Orders have been noted at the GNA. As with the bryophytes and lichens, there are numerous photos of unidentified fungi awaiting determination. And, one important thing to note is that macrofungi (i.e., the ‘visible’ fungi) represent only a tiny portion of an ecosystem's fungi, with mycorrhizal fungi representing the majority of the ecosystem's fungal component.
The species are organized in three Phyla: Ascomycetes (92 species); Basidiomycetes (282 species); and, Zygomycetes (4 species). For the Basidiomycetes, the best-represented families are the Polyporaceae (26 species) and Meruliaceae (15 species). The most speciose Ascomycete Families are the Xylariaceae (10 species), and the Hypocreaceae (8 species). Although we haven't collected any abundance data, it appears to us that the most commonly encountered and abundant species are Trichaptum biforme (Violet-toothed Polypore), Trametes versicolor (Turkey Tail), Stereum ostrea (False Turkey Tail), and Stereum complicatum (Crowded Parchment).
The actual number of species of fungi at the Gordon is assumed to be significantly higher than the 378 species currently known for the GNA and could easily be two to three times that number. What can be said is that when one of us goes out looking for fungi, they frequently encounter at least one 'new' species (i.e., one that hadn't previously been noted in the GNA). For example, of the 181 species of fungi noted in the GNA during 2020, approximately one-fifth (41 species; 22.7%) constituted first records for the Gordon.
Below, is a list of the species that have been observed at the GNA. PLEASE NOTE: The greatest part of these species identifications has been by amateurs (i.e., lovers of fungi who, in some cases, have little or no training in mycology). Hence, you should not consider these images to be a reliable source for identification. Many fungi are poisonous and you should not collect or eat any mushrooms without being absolutely certain of their identity!

This mold utilizes the honeydew droppings of beech blight aphids; thus, the honeydew eater is commonly found below aphid colonies and on American Beech trees and plant matter. The mold is white but darkens to brown and black after months as it generates ascopores. (A Field Guide to Mushrooms of the Carolinas, pg.285)

Years Noted: 2020; 2021; 2022
Identified and First Noted By: Nur Ritter
Comments:
"This interesting fungus grows in symbiosis with algae (Coccomyxa) similar to lichens. While in true lichens algae are internal to fungi body, algae associated with Multiclavula mucida grow externally to the fungus on the same substratum. Algae can be observed like a thin layer of something green spreading around fungi sporocarps. M. mucida is also a rare example of symbiosis of a Basidiomycete and algae. Vast majority of lichens is an association of Ascomycete with algae." — https://mushroomobserver.org/observer/show_observation/157303.
This species has been noted in various parts of the Gordon forest and appears to be fairly common.

Comments:
We originally called the material at the Gordon Mycena luteopallens. However, Cara Coulter (iNaturalist, and vice President of the WPAMC) annotated one of our iNaturalist observations as follows: 'The type species for Mycena luteopallens was actually a Hygrocybe, and not a nut growing Mycena. Mycena crocea was/is commonly misidentified as M. luteopallens. Consesus is that these are now M. crocea.'

Also Noted By: Paige Vermeulen; R. Nygard (iNaturalist)
Comments:
Entomopathogenic fungus that parasitizes Mayflies (Tipulidae). To date, a single 'occurrence' has been noted at the Gordon. Quite similar to Icing Sugar Fungus (Cordyceps bassiana).

Spinellus fusiger (Bonnet Mold)
Pilobolus crystallinus (Dung Cannon)
Group: Fungi
Type: Mucoromycota
Family: Pilobolaceae
Notes
Common Name: Dung Cannon
Year Noted: 2021
Identified and First Noted By: Nur Ritter
Comments:
A diminutive coprophilous species (i.e., one that colonizes feces). Despite it's small size, the 'Dung Cannon' can shoot its sporangium (i.e., the spore containing body) up to 2 meters!
To date, only a single occurrence has been noted in the GNA: this was growing on White-tailed Deer scat. However, with this species, timing is everything (i.e., you need to encounter scat at the time when the fungus is mature) and it likely is a common species at the Gordon.
