CENANGIUM OLYMPIUM, COMB. NOV.

Yang, Zhu-Liang
New records of the cup-fungus Zeus olympius Minter & Diam. (Rhytismataceae, Ascomycota) are reported from the territory of Kosovo, and a new taxonomic combination for the species is proposed. Phylogenetic analyses were conducted using nrITS (Nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer) sequences from dry material collected in Kosovo and Greece. Based on the new phylogenetic placement, where species morphologically identified as Zeus olympius are placed within a clade of the genus Cenangium, Cenangium olympium (Minter & Diam.) M. Karadelev, K. Rusevska, G. Wu & Zhu L. Yang is introduced as a comb. nov. for Zeus olympius.

Fungi have been used by humans since prehistoric times. Informal structures or groups for knowledge exchange regarding mushrooms and lichens probably existed for ages. Only recently, mycological activities have been structured in formal organizations. And where until a few centuries ago there were only learned societies and naturalists’ clubs, nowadays also mycological societies and citizen scientists have joined the landscape. However, the history of mycological organizations and activities in Europe is difficult to track. Here, we initiated two surveys to characterize the current landscape of mycological organizations focused on fungal diversity across Europe and to collate citizen science activities mapping fungi. The surveys were shared on social media and sent to mycologists in 49 countries in Europe. Responses of the surveys allowed us to present the history, geographical distribution, and structure of mycological rganizations in Europe as well as their types of activities, including the publication of journals and magazines, the organization of meetings and educational initiatives, and citizen science projects. In addition to the surveys, local mycologists presented expert knowledge for a more comprehensive overview. Our data show that the mycological landscape in Europe is diverse and heterogeneous. We discuss ways to overcome economic, cultural, and linguistic barriers towards better integration of mycological communities, activities, and data in Europe. Mycological societies focusedon studying fungal diversity can be leveraged towards common goals that include raising public awareness, data integration, uniting academics and non-academics, and developing common standards for research and communication.

Provisional list of the Ascomycota species from Kosovo with data on new records

The mycobiota of Kosovo, especially fungi of the phylum Ascomycota, remains under-explored despite its ecological and biological importance. This study aims to assess the diversity and distribution of macrofungal species of the phylum Ascomycota in different ecosystems in Kosovo. Field work combined with laboratory analysis was conducted from 2017 to 2022, using standard mycological techniques for species identification. A total of 82 species have now been documented in Kosovo. Of these, 39 species have been previously reported in the scientific literature, and 43 species are new records, significantly enriching the knowledge of the diversity of fungi in Kosovo. Taxonomic analysis showed that these species belong to 56 genera, distributed in 34 families, 10 orders, six subclasses, five classes and one subphylum. The Helotiales and Pezizales orders had the highest diversity, with 12 and nine families, respectively. In contrast, the orders such as Xylariales and Hypocreales showed remarkable variation, while several other orders were represented by a single family. These results highlight the rich but under-explored diversity of Ascomycota in Kosovo and emphasise the importance of further research to support biodiversity conservation.

EUTROPHICATION – A NEED FOR UNDERSTANDING THE DANGERS FROM AN OLD NEMESIS
(Macedonian Academy of Sciences and Arts, 2026-02-11)
S. Krstić, Svetislav

Aleksovski, Boris
Nutrient enrichment of aquatic environments, or eutrophication in modern terms, is a fundamental primordial planetary process that enables the proliferation of life in otherwise "sterile" ecosystems. It strongly supports the rapid expansion of primary producers, most of all – the algae, which initiates the formation of sequenced food chains, leading to life boosts in specific areas. This so-called ‘natural’ eutrophication has been a driving force for living forms throughout the history of our planet, and may even have been depicted in the Bible. However, the development of human society, including agriculture, industrial and technological expansion, and waste generation, has been the starting point of socalled ‘cultural’ or accelerated eutrophication that poses numerous problems for both the environment and humans. Based on selected natural and manmade ecosystems in North Macedonia, this paper points out the necessity of understanding and combating the deleterious effect of accelerated eutrophication in all water bodies.

NEW AND INTERESTING MAYAMAEA SPECIES (BACILLARIOPHYCEAE) FROM OSOGOVO
(Macedonian Academy of Sciences and Arts, 2026-02-11)
;
Zaova, Dušica

Observations of asample from a small spring on MountainOsogovo revealed the presence of several interesting and previously unknown small-celled diatom species. Among them, the genus Mayamaeashows relatively high diversi-ty, with at least eight species. Four species are presented in this study, two of which are described as new: Mayamaea matevskianasp. nov. and Mayamaea stafiloviiLevkov & Zaova sp. nov. Mayamaea matevskianais characterized by elliptical to elliptic-lanceolate valves, relatively coarse and strongly radiate striae, an indistinct central area bordered by more distantly positioned central striae, slightly expanded proximal raphe ends, and simple distal raphe ends. Maya-maea stafiloviihas a similar valve morphology and shape of the central area to M. matevskianabut differences can be observed in the valve size (which is considerably smaller than M. matevskiana) and the shape of the external distal ra-phe ends (which are long, slightly deflected, and extend onto the valve mantle). The new species are described based on detailed light and scanning electron microscopic observations.

This study presents the first report of three Hericium species in Kosovo: Hericiumn cirrhatum (Pers.) Nikol., H. coralloides (Scop.) Pers. and H. erinaceus (Bull.) Pers. These species were found in mixed deciduous and oak forests in the central-eastern part of the country.
