- DNA was extracted from 31 basidiomes
of Cantharellus, Craterellus, and other
basidiomycetes considered to have affinities to the Cantharellaceae.
The internal transcribed spacer (ITS) between the 18S and the
28S genes of the nuclear ribosomal DNA was amplified using the
polymerase chain reaction. Except for Cantharellus tubaeformis
and Cantharellus infundibuliformis, the ITS region
was longer in the Cantharellaceae than in the other fungi tested,
and highly variable in length. The ITS-1 region between the 18S
and the 5.8S genes was the site of most variation. The Cantharellus
cibarius group had the longest ITS-1, ranging from 820
to 1100 base pairs (bp), compared with 240 to 350 bp in other
basidiomycetes. Chanterelles have the longest and most variable
ITS region yet described for fungi.

- A new species, Cantharellus
tabernensis, is described from mixed pine and hardwood
forests of southern Mississippi. A yellowish brown pileus with
a dark brown disk and a bright orange hymenophore and stipe morphologically
separate this chanterelle from other species. The new species
is shown to have a long internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region
of the nuclear ribosomal DNA, consistent with other Cantharellus
species. Restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis of
the 5' end of the nuclear large ribosomal subunit gene supports
the status of C. tabernensis as a distinct species.

- DNA was extracted from dried specimens
of nine taxa of the Cantharellaceae. Approximately 325 bases
near the 5' end of the nuclear 28S ribosomal gene were sequenced,
and the sequences were compared. Sequence analyses demonstrated
that Cantharellus and Craterellus
should be treated as distinct genera. The phylogeny generated
using parsimony suggests that Cantharellus tubaeformis
and Pseudocraterellus sinuosus should be considered species
of Craterellus. As a result of this study, we recognize
the first...

acid in lipid of the Cantharellus luteocomus and its distribution
in the Cantharellaceae and allied families. Transactions
of the Mycological Society of Japan. 33(4): 517- 525.
- Cis-9, cis-14 diene-12-yne-octadecanoic
acid (dehydrocrepenynic acid) was detected as the main fatty
acid of lipid in Cantharellus luteocomus. It was
found in mushrooms of the Cantharellaceae, Clavulinaceae and
Hydnaceae, but not in those of the Gomphaceae, Ramariacea, Clavariaceae,
Climacodontaceae, Hericiaceae and Scutigeraceae. Analysis of
this fatty acid seems to be useful for the classification of
mushrooms of the Cantharellaceae and allied...

- Color and carotenoid content are important
characters both for identification of species and as indicators
of taxonomic relationships within the chanterelles. High performance
liquid chromatography (HPLC) was used to compare pigment profiles
of carotenoid pigments extracted from basidiocarps of Cantharellus
cibarius, Cantharellus cibarius var. amethysteus,
Cantharellus lateritius, and Cantharellus
tabernensis. beta-Carotene was the main carotenoid detected
in all four species.
