Checklist of Myxomycetes from India

Professor Dr. Kiran R Ranadive

The authors present here the report of macro fungi and members of Myxomyecetes occurring at Palasdari. This is a small village and a common picnic spot. It is also a point of study tours of many school and college students, due to the presence of a forest and a waterfall. The present paper is a report of findings of lower plants, such as fungi along with the still less studied group, Myxomycetes. There are several reports of fungal biodiversity from different places of India, but there is no report about the Palasdari Flora. The fungal specimen observed were Psathyrella umbonata, Polyporus versicolor, Hypoxylon fragiforme, Auricularia auricula-judae, Marasmius rotula and the members of Myxomycetes were Physarum bogoriense, Physarum polycephalum. These specimens are economically valuable and possess medicinal value. Physarum polycephalum is used in many medical treatments and in the preparation of biological robot. Auricularia is important in the remedies of throat ailments. The human interference in these forests is increasing day by day. The construction work of new buildings and roads and carelessness of picnic goers are resulting in spoilage of vegetation. The present paper throws a light on the important and unseen treasures of nature, from this location that needs to be saved.

The Indian Myxomycetes Database (IMD) is the first on-line database of information on Myxomycetes in India. The database contains 394 records from 11 families, 50 genera and 351 species, and can be accessed at www.fungifromindia.com. Every species from this much neglected group of fungi has been given a unique identity number that can be cited in publications where a new species is described. Every entry in this database has been linked with the globally recognized myco-database (www.mycobank.org). The IMD is part of an Indian initiative to promote international biodiversity documentation and form a global network of databases on biological information. Introduction Fungi and fungi like organisms are among the most important organisms in the world, not only because of their vital roles in ecosystem functioning but also because of their influence on humans and human-related activities. Fungi are essential to such crucial activities as decomposition, nutrient cycling, and nutrient transport and are indispensable for achieving sustainable development (Palm & Chapela 1997). Although the diversity of fungi and fungus like organisms is daunting, we believe that variety, numbers, and importance mandate their inclusion in conservation dialogues and biodiversity projects. We also believe that they are tractable in a meaningful way. If the estimate is correct, then sites share enough species to make broad-scale inventory work possible yet harbors sufficient number of unique species to make valuable contributions to our understanding of fungi biodiversity and the ecological, evolutionary and genetic processes of these fungi and their associated organisms (Mueller et al. 2004). The ultimate aims of the present study were to study the occurrence and distribution of Myxomycetes from India and to give easy access for the information of Indian Myxomycetes to researchers and the students all over the world. The present work has tremendous mycological significance and it will update the knowledge of Myxomycetes of India. This is the first Indian database on a much neglected group of fungi. The user friendly database will inspire the students as well as researchers to study the Myxomycetes taxonomy from India. Such type of database gives the information in very short period which will help researchers to save their energy and time for further research.

Thirty species of lignicolous fungi belonging to Ascomycetes and Basidiomycete are reported from the Ratanmahal Wildlife Sanctuary, Gujarat, India. The new species are Coriolus versicolor, Coriolopsis gallica, Daedalea quercina, F. resupinate, D. unicplor var. hydnoidea, Fomitopsis rosea, Hypodontia comptopsis and Lenzites betulina. F. varigatum is reported for the first time from India. All the species are new to studied area.

They are predominantly restricted to high rainfall and humid climatic regions. Following a literature review, a checklist is provided of 373 species of Mxyomycetes, 17 varieties and 4 forms within 50 genera, 11 families and 6 orders. Most records come from the states of Himachal Pradesh, West Bengal, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Maharashtra, Karnataka in South India, Jammu and Kashmir. Key Words – acellular slime moulds – fungi – literature review Article Information Received 24 May 2012 Accepted 30 May 2012 Published online 30 June 2012 *Corresponding author: Ranade VD – e-mail – ranade.medha@gmail.com Introduction Myxomycetes are plant-like in their manner of reproduction but resemble animals in the characteristics of their assimilative phase. The organism exhibits two alternating phases in its life cycle, the assimilative phase and the sporulating phase. The former consists of a free-living, acellular, mobile mass of protoplasm i.e., the plasmodium. The plasmodium absorbs nutrients from the surroundings and also engulfs solid particles including bacterial and fungal spores. The sporulating phase (sporocarp) bears spores externally on, or inside, a spore case. The spore case consists of an outer, generally persistent peridium, which envelops a free thread-like netted structure, the capilitium, which aids in spore dispersal. Myxomycetes are a cosmopilitian group of organisms that can be found in a variety of habitats including well-manicured lawns and flower beds, and damp places, especially on old wood or other plant material undergoing decomposition. Slime molds are also common on dung and a few species may be restricted to this substratum. Another more recently recognized, specialized niche is dead branches attached to living trees. The important taxonomic treatises available on slime moulds include Lodhi (1934), Martin & Alexopoulos (1969), Alexopoulos (1973, 1978), Farr (1976), Thind (1977) and Lakhanpal & Mukherji (1981). Several workers also reported Myxomycetes from different parts of India, which were published under the banner of Fungi of India.

Indian work on Myxomycetes Many fungi were collected in India by Dr. Wight and these were examined by Klotzsch (1830–1833) and Berkeley (1839). Wight was perhaps the first person to collect a slime mould, Physarum cinereum (Batsch.) Pers., from Madras (Chennai), India on grass leaves in 1830 (Lakhanpal & Mukerji, 1981). Three species namely, Physarum conglomeratum (Fr.) Rost. Dictydiaethalium plumbeum (Schum.) Rost. and Lycogala epidendrum (L.) Fr. were collected and reported by Sir J.D. Hooker in 1849–1850 from Sikkim and Darjelling. J.C. Hobson (1862) recorded Hemitrichia serpula (Scop.) Rost. from Bombay (Mumbai). E. S. Berkley recorded 11 species of Myxomycetes between 1864 and 1882 (Lakhanpal & Mukerji, 1981). Pioneer work on slime moulds in India was done by Mrs. A. Drake, who collected them from different parts of India (1911– 1927). She made 124 collections belonging to 74 species, which were then identified by Miss G. Lister. Her collection as well as of others are preserved at the Royal Botanic Garden, Kew. Lister (1924) published the first paper on Indian Myxomycetes entitled “Mycetozoa from North India”. This publication was based on 36 collection made by Mrs. Drake from 1912– 1919. Bruhl & Gupta (1927) published the second paper on Indian Myxomycetes describing 16 species from West Bengal. Butler & Bisby (1931) compiled a list of Indian Fungi and remarked, “The Myxomycetes have not been studied in India but many of these widely distributed organisms occur there”. They did not include any representative of this group in their compilation. However, Lister A (1894) had already mentioned (under habit only) the occurrence of 18 species in different parts of India. Lodhi (1934) published a monograph of Indian slime moulds describing and illustrating 43 species collected by Mrs. A. Drake. The period between 1952–1976 can be considered the Golden Period for the studies of Mxyomycetes in India. Around 1952 interest was revived in this field. Dr. K.S. Thind in North India, and Dr. V. Agnihothurudu in South India, started work on Indian Myxomycetes almost simultaneously. Thind et al. (1955–1973) in a series of 24 research papers have described about 175 species from the North Western and Eastern Himalayas and the Punjab Plains. Their contributions include 19 new species and two new varities. Agnihothrudu and his collaborators (Agnihothrudu 1954–1956, 1965–1966; Agnihothrudu & Chinnappa 1968–1969, Indira 1968, 1975) have described 78 species from South India, including one new species. Agnihothrudu (1958–1965) in a series of four papers described 56 species including two new species from North-East India. Ghosh & Dutta (1962) from Orissa, Pathak & Ghosh (1962) from Uttar Pradesh, Kar (1964) from Calcutta, Singh, & Pushpavathy (1965 – 1979), Singh, Pushpavathy & Sethi (1979) from Delhi, Patwardhan & Joshi (1975), Patil & Ranade (1975), Ranade & Mishra (1977, 1979), Chavan & Kulkarni (1974), Thite (1975) from Maharashtra, Dhillon (1978), and Dhillon et al. (1978, 1979) recorded more species of Myxomycetes from their respective places. In 1977, Prof. Thind published “Myxomycetes of India” describing and illustrating 182 species recorded up to 1973. Lakahanpal T.N. began work on Myxomycetes of Kulu and Simla in 1965, later extending the work to other parts of Himachal Pradesh. From 1965 to 1978 he collected about one thousand specimens, including about 75 from Delhi (1969–1975). In his doctoral thesis, Lakahanpal T.N. described and illustrated 156 species. In this work he recorded 7 genera and 43 species for the first time from India and described 22 species new to science. He also reported 50 species (and one variety) from Delhi, and 83 species from Himachal Pradesh for the first time. He also amended the diagnosis of Metatrichia vesparium and Physarum laevisporum and resolved the controversy regarding the delimitation of the species of Lycogala on the basis of the ontogeny of their corticals scales.

Stemonitales I–XVII” and “Experimental studies on Indian Myxomycetes – I and II” described and illustrated more than 62 species from Himachal Pradesh and Delhi and have recorded their observations on the life cycle and sporangial development of some important species such as Licea scyphoides Keller & Brookes, Macbridela cornea (G. Lister & Cram)Alexop. and Clastoderma debaryanum Blytt. They also conducted cultural studies on some species of Didymium i.e., Didymium muscorum Lakhanpal & Mukherji, D. karstenii Nann.Bremk., D. intermedium Schroet. and D. squamulosum (Alb. & Schw.) Fr. Earlier, Thind & Lakhanpal (1968a–d) described 16 species and Lakhanpal (1971–1973) 56 species from Himachal Pradesh, including some already described by him with Prof. Thind (loc. cit.). Kowalski & Lakhanpal (1973) and Lakhanpal (1972) described one genus and ten species from Delhi. Lakhanpal (1972) recorded five species from Nainital in Uttar Pradesh. Many species have been collected from natural habitats since 1976 and some more interesting forms have been obtained, in moist chambers, from the bark of living trees. The work after 1976 has seen contributions from T.N. Lakhanpal, K.G. Mukherji, S.S. Dhillon (1976–1980), S.D. Patil (1977–1979), V.D. Ranade (1977–1979), R.L. Mishra (1977– 1979), M.L. Farr (1960–1979), H. Singh (1981), S.P. Nanir (1979 –1985), S.P. Nanir et al. (1987), R.R. Tembhurne & S.P. Nanir (2011), B.G. Rokade & S.P. Nanir (1993), N.E. Nannenga-Bremekamp, R. Pasricha, R. Sharma, R.K. Chopra (1990), S. Kaur (1996), Wrigley and Lado (2005). Distribution of Myxomycetes in India Temperature, humidity, rainfall, and topography are the main factors that determine the distribution of Myxomycetes. It is suggested that Myxomycetes attack wood after it has been partially degraded by Basidiomycetes, but their role in the decay of conifer wood may be understated. The present study provides a checklist containing 373 species of Mxyomycetes, 17 varieties and 4 forms within 50 genera, 11 families and 6 orders. (Table 1). Liceales is the dominant order with 3 families. Stemonitaceae is the dominant family with 12 genera and Physarum is the dominant genus with up to 76 species in India. Worldwide, these 50 genera recorded in India are represented by 2344 species, 523 varieties, 4 subspecies and 58 forms (Table 2). Various classification systems of Kingdom Fungi have been proposed by mycologists, among which is the recent classification system given by Alexopoulos et al. (1996). However, the present study has taken into consideration the Ainsworth system of classification of Fungi. For classification of Mxyomycetes (also called Acellular slime moulds or True slime moulds), a system proposed by Martin et al. (1983) is used. Checklist of Mxyomycetes reported in India. The genera and species are listed according to the substrate and areas of India where these are recorded. 361 Mycosphere Doi 10.5943/mycosphere/3/3/9 Table 2 Distribution of Myxomycetes contributed by Indian workers in comparison with the world data.
