Balsamiaceae

Balsamia

TFTaDMSSoCAR B. platyspora Berk. & Br. A rarely recorded fungus in Scotland, possibly because there has not been any concerted effort to collect hypogeous species in the country. Known only from Forth (Belhaven, Dunbar, under Fagus sylvatica, 24 xi 1985).

Helvellaceae

Acetabula 

TFTaDMSSoCAR A. cribrosa (Grev.) Boud. Described by Greville from Forth as Peziza. The figure in Cooke is taken from the original collection from Balmuto, Fife but no specimen is in E. It was also collected by Greville and J. Hooker whilst crossing from the west coast of Scotland to Inverness in 1821 but this material from Sheildhag is referrable to Peziza badia qv.according to B.J.Spooner  (Kew)  Stevenson offers a description and discussion on this species from Forth. The identity and systematic position of this fungus is still in doubt.

Helvella Specimens have been examined by H. Dissing in the preparation of his monograph of European species. Dansk Bot. Ark. 25: 1-172, 1966. 

TFTaDMSSoCAR H. acetabulum (L.) Quél. In woodland and heathy scrub, even in montane communities and probably better kown in the genus Paxina.

Pezizaceae

Iodophanus Although currently placed in the Pezizaceae it is isolated on a branch of the phylogenetic tree and might warrant its own family. Frequently placed in Ascophanus in older texts.

TFTaDMSSoCAR  I. verrucisporus (P.W.Graff) Kimb. Forth (Dalkeith, on rabbit droppings, 4 i 2004. legit M.J.Richardson)

Tribe Pezizeae

Adelphella

TFTaDMSSoCAR A. babingtonii (Berk.)Boud. Undoubtedly under-recorded as the habitat requirement on partially submerged  wood is rarely examined. As Humaria Oocardii Tay (on sodden wood, leather and sacking in small stream Perth vii-viii 1909; 

Blair Atholl, on log in small stream, 10 ix 1991; Glen Fearnach on wet Betula, 26 ix 1964), Moray (Darnaway, on very rotten Betula, 15 x 1881, Rev.

Pachyella

TFTaDMSSoCAR P. brunnea (Phill.) Boud.  Moray (Greeshope, on prunings and garden refuse rotting in damp heap, as Ombrophila. 26 vii 1879 –Holotype, Syntype 15 vii 1879). Apparently close to Peziza emilea, fide Dennis.

Aberdeenshire, 29 ix 1974). Old collections also from Clyde (as Geopyxis, Ardrossan, vii 1890, legit W. Evans) and from Tay (St Andrews, coll. Rev. Anderson in M.C Cooke Series 2 Fungi, British Exs. No. 645 but no further data). Recorded with description in Stevenson  from Tay. Known from Shetland.

TFTaDMSSoCAR P. amplissima Fr. Forth (Edinburgh, Orchard Road, in plant trough, 1 x 1969). This collection needs re-examination.

TFTDMSSoCAR P. ampliata Pers. Tweed (Dawyck, under Fagus, 11 x 2000 & 2 x 2002; Traquair, on plaster, 10 vi 1954), Solway (Castle Douglas, on carpet, 28 ix 1960), Forth (Saltoun Big Wood, East Lothian, on bonfire site, 2 vi 2000). This elf-cap generally grows on rotten wood or on woody fragments. Thus all but the Dawyck collection should be re-examined and even this could turn out to be P. arvernensis which is widespread under Fagus at Dawyck. 

TFTaDMSSoCAR P. arvenensis Boud.Tweed (Dawyck 5 x 1995 to 24 xi 2009, under Fagus in deep shade several collectons), Moray (Culbin, along track, 6 ix 1988), Tay (Birks of Aberfeldy, 11 viii 2010).

Macdonald, 26 ix 1954 – needs re-examination), Sutherland (Ben Loyal, viii 1982), Argyll (Loch Maree, sandy shore of loch, 2 viii 1986). Known from Rhum & from both Shetland and Orkney. Also known from Arran, Skernish, Skye, x 1980 & Loch Buie, Mull, 9 ix 1988 and Sleat 20 x 1980. A collection from Ruaival, Hirta, St Kilda growing amongst Salix repens, 15 ix 1971 probably belongs here and a collection labelled P ? phlebospora (Loch Ba, Mull, 8 x 1967) is probably not distinct from this species.

Carmichael) is in Greville Herb. Also 2 collections by Rev. Keith, Moray (Aviemore, 9 ix 1877 & Cluny Hill x 1877) and one other collection not localised. A collection of P.cribrosa from Argyll (Glen Sheil in 1821) collected by J. Hooker & R.

Known from CS records Clyde (near Stevenston, Ayrshire, in moss, 1911, D.A.Boyd), Moray (Altyre Wd.,1912 as Lachnea) & Tay (Glen Lyon, ix 1969). On dead Betula branch, Orkney. In Stevenson recorded from Tay and Moray as Peziza. 

TFTaDMSSoCAR H. ollaris Fr. Recorded as Peziza for Tay (on naked soil, Glamis) in Stevenson with description. The systematic position of this discomycete is uncertain and consequently it has been transferred at different times to a range genera, even it’s own genus Humarina..With such confusion as to the status this species has been synonymized incorrectly to Octospora humosa.

Genea

TFTaDMSSoCAR G. fragrans (Wallr.) Paoletti Material as G. verrucosa and collected by Klotszch and communicated to Berkeley is now in K; no material in E. The K material is probably isotype material of G. Klotschii = G. verrucosa. There is some doubt as to whether it was actually collected in Scotland but if so where is unknown. The collecting sites of Klotzsch are well known so it might be possible to narrow the search down to a few localites. Recorded from Dee (on ground, Hazelhead, Aberdeen in Ann. Nat. Hist Scot.; possibly introduced). See Pegler et al. (1993) for discussion on the former specimen. Sometimes placed it is own family.

Sarcoscyphaceae

Sarcoscypha

TFTaDMSSoCAR S. austriaca (Beck ex Sacc.) Boud. This species has been separated from S. coccinea and since the separation was recognized all the old E collections have all been checked by Gill. Butterfill (Kew) and the following have been found to belong to this species. With Ulmus glabra, Acer pseudoplatanus, Corylus, Fraxinius and Salix caprea, often amongst Eurhynchium praelongum and Brachythecium rutabulum. Since separation the following collections have been identified as S. austriaca Known from Clyde (Chatelherault, Jock’s Gill, U. Nethan Cylde (Dundedin Hse., on mossy branch in garden 12 iii 2007), Tweed (Duns Castle, on mossy log, 1 iv 2007), Forth (Roslin Glen, in mossy gulley, 1 ii 2007; Davidson’s Mains, Edinb., on mossy branch in litter, 20 i 2000, Bannockburn, on Salix and Alnus,  27 ii 2005, Culthills, Fife, on Fraxinus, 28 ii 2005, Cambs, Fife, 29 i 2005) & Tay (Comrie, on soil in grass, buried wood, 2 iii 2006; Forfar, Finavon, on sticks of Acer?) 1993).
