Agaricomycetes (Basidiomycota, Fungi) diversity in a protected area in the Maracaju Mountains, in the Brazilian central region

Diversidade de Agaricomicetos (Basidiomycota, Fungi) em uma área protegida nas Montanhas de Maracaju, na região central do Brasil

ABSTRACT

The fungi diversity in Brazil is not fully known yet, mainly in Serra de Maracaju, which is located in the central portion of the State of Mato Grosso do Sul, in the center-western region of Brazil. Samples were taken from different phytophysiognomies of the Cerrado, the dominating biome of that region, in areas where Cerrado and pasture alternate, in the municipality of Corguinho. Of the species identified, 18 are new citations for Brazil, as they are not included in the List of Brazilian Flora (fungi), and 36 are recorded for the first time for [the State of] Mato Grosso do Sul. As a total, 62 species were collected in nine excursions during 2014 and 2015. Out of this total, 15 species are deemed edible, four are toxic, ten are medicinal, two are used in bioremediation processes, and one is bioluminescent, according to the literature.

RESUMO

A diversidade dos fungos brasileiros ainda não é totalmente conhecida, principalmente na Serra de Maracaju, localizada na região central do Estado de Mato Grosso do Sul, no centro-oeste do Brasil. Coletas foram realizadas em diferentes fitofisionomias do Cerrado, bioma predominante na região, no município de Corguinho, em áreas onde o cerrado e pastagens se alternam. Dezoito das espécies identificadas são primeira citação para o Brasil e não se encontram relacionadas na lista da flora do Brasil (fungos) e 36 são citadas pela primeira vez para Mato Grosso do Sul, de um total de 62 espécies coletadas em nove excursões realizadas durante os anos de 2014 e 2015. Deste total 15 espécies coletadas são consideradas comestíveis, quatro tóxicas, 10 medicinais, duas utilizadas em processos de biorremediação e uma bioluminescente, segundo a literatura.

Introduction

The Maracaju Mountains, 900 m altitude on average, are located in the central region of Mato Grosso do Sul State (23°15'S, 55°31'W; 17°34'S, 54°45'W), dividing it in the north-south direction, acting as a watershed between High Paraguay River Basin to the west, and High Paraná River Basin to the east.

The region is located in the core area of the Cerrado domain in its southern part, being covered with many different physiognomies. Among them we can mention arboreal cerrado, shrubland cerrado, clean and dirty grassland, seasonal forests (with loss of leaves), riparian forests (in the margins of water courses) and meadows, a riparian formation dominated by Buriti palms (Mauritia flexuosa Mart.).

The presence of the city and large cattle farms with exotic grasses, mainly Urochloa spp. in the region, have led to great anthropogenic influence due the presence of Eucalyptus spp., sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum L.) and soybean (Glicyne max (L.) Merrill) plantations, among other crops. However, natural fragmented remnants are still found in areas in the region where there are many places with continuous areas of preserved habitats. That occurs especially on the slopes of mountains and other isolated sites.

Brazil has been known to have one of the most significant biodiversity in the world. However, existing data on biological diversity are limited to some types of organisms, mainly superior plants and vertebrates spread in institutions, museums and scientific collections in the country and abroad.

Assessments of the Brazilian biodiversity conducted in Brazil (Bicudo & Menezes 1996, Siqueira & Joly 1996, Canhos 1997, Joly & Bicudo 1998) counted about 2500 macroscopic fungi species. A few were recorded for the region or for the State of Mato Grosso do Sul. According to Maia & Carvalho Jr. (2015), for the State 116 fungi species have been listed divided into 66 families and 21 orders of the Classes Ascomycota, Basidiomycota, Blastocladiomycota, Chytridiomycota and Glomeromycota. Out of that total, 45 species are Agaricomycetes, 21 out of which occur in savannah areas.

Up to this date, in the cerrado biome, including areas in Mato Grosso (Sampaio 1916) and São Paulo (Fidalgo et al. 1965, Bononi 1984, Gugliotta 1997, Baseia & Milanez 2001a,b, 2002a,b, 2003, Baseia 2005, Baseia et al. 2007), a total of 95 species have been mentioned (Gibertoni & Drechsler-Santos 2010).

This paper intends to broaden the knowledge of Brazilian biodiversity in a Maracaju Mountains located in the central region of Mato Grosso do Sul State, southwestern Brazil, showing its abundance and potential, completing data in the list of the Brazilian Flora, fungi, prepared by the Botanical Garden of Rio de Janeiro, IBAMA (Maia & Carvalho Jr. 2015). The assessment and vouchers deposited in the national herbarium enable future molecular biology studies to confirm the diversity and phylogenetic connections among the species found.

Material & methods

Study Area - The study site was the area in the Maracaju Mountains located in the central region of Mato Grosso do Sul State, southwestern Brazil, with samples taken from different types of vegetation in the cerrado, the dominating biome occurring in the Taboco region, municipality of Corguinho, Mato Grosso do Sul, Brazil.

The region altitude is 320 m on average and, according to Köppen & Geiger, the climate is tropical (Aw) with dry winters and rainy summers, with a temperature of 24,8 ºC on average and annual rainfall of 1444 mm on average (Secretaria de Planejamento e Coordenação Geral de Mato Grosso do Sul 1990).

The collection region is located in the Chaqueno morphoclimatic domain in the sub-region cerrado (Morrone 2001), with predominance of the cerrado phytophysiognomy, stricto sensu, and presence of forest formations in the cerrado, where there are arboreal species such as Caryocar brasiliense Camb. (pequi), Copaifera langsdorffii Desf. (copaíba), Lafoensia pacari A. St./Hil. (pacari), Siphoneugena densiflora Berg. (maria-preta), Vochysia haenkeana Mart. (escorrega-macaco), Xylopia aromatica (Lam.) Mart. (pimenta-de-macaco), Agonandra brasiliensis Miers ex Benth & Hook. f. (pau-marfim), Bowdichia virgilioides Kunth. (sucupira-preta), Dimorphandra mollis Benth. (faveiro), Qualea grandiflora Mart. (pau-terra-grande), Callisthene fasciculata Mart. (jacaré-da-folha-grande), Dilodendron bippinatum Radlk. (maria-pobre), Luehea paniculata Mart. & Zucc. (açoita-cavalo), Dipteryx alata Vog. (baru), Pseudobombax tomentosum (Mart. & Zucc.) A.Robyns (imbiruçu), Terminalia argentea Mart. & Zucc. (capitão-do-campo), among others.

In the unique shrubby cerrado habitat we can find, for instance, Callistene major Mart. (Itapicuru), Qualea parviflora Mart., Lafoensia pacari (dedaleira), Caryocar brasiliense (pequi), Kielmeyera coriacea Mart. & Zucc. (pau-santo), Hymenaea stigonocarpa Mart. ex Hayne (jatobá), Hancornia speciosa B.A. Gomes (mangabeira), Palicourea rigida Kunth (chapéu-de-couro), Tabebuia serratifolia (Vahl) G. Nicholson (ipê), Syagrus flexuosa (Mart.) Becc. (ariri), Licania humilis Cham. & Schltdl. (oiti), Stryphnodendron obovatum Benth. (barbatimão), Casearia sylvestris Sw. (pau-de-espeto) and Norantea guianensis Aubl (flor de papagio).

The forest vegetation over small water courses (gallery woods) has species such as Protium heptaphyllum (Aubl.) March (breu, almécega), Psychotria carthagenensis Jacq. (erva-de-gralha), Schefflera morototoni (Aubl.) Maguire, Steyerm. & Frodin (morototó), Tapirira guianensis Aubl. (pombeiro), Virola sebifera Aubl. (virola), Xylopia sericea St. Hill. (pimenta-de-macaco), Nectandra cissiflora Nees (louro), Maclura tinctoria (L.) D. Don. ex Steud. (amoreira), Rapanea ferruginea (Ruiz & Pav.) Mez. (copororoca), Cecropia lyratiloba Miq. (cecropia), Calophyllum brasiliensis Camb. (guanandi), Alibertia edulis A. Rich. (marmelada), Inga nobilis Willd. (inga) and Guarea guidonia (L.) Sleumer. (marinheiro).

However, most part of the region has pastures planted with Urochloa humidicola (Rendle) Morrone & Zuloaga, which dominate at flatter sites.

Collections - Only macroscopic fungi were collected, which were deposited in the herbarium of the Botanical Institute of São Paulo (SP). Nine collection excursions were undertaken in the months of March, April, May, June, August, September, October, November and December 2014. Collectors were Ademir Kleber Morbeck de Oliveira, Richard Matheus Fernandes and Bruno Carlos Feliciano de Lima Silva.

The collection, preservation and herborization followed the standardized techniques for fungi (Fidalgo & Bononi 1984). Identification was based on micro and macrostructure of the basidiome accordingly to the recommendations of Teixeira (1962, 1995), Gilbertson & Ryvarden (1986), and Ryvarden (1991, 2004). Nomenclature and classification system followed those used by Kirk et al. (2008), Index Fungorum (www.indexfungorum.org), and Mycobank and related databases (www.mycobank.org). Taxa are mentioned in alphabetic order, families and species of Agaricomycetes. Geographic distribution in Brazil was based on the List of Brazilian Flora, fungi (Gugliotta et al. 2015). The species cited for Brazil for the first time are marked with 1 asterisk and those cited for the first time for the State of Mato Grosso do Sul, with 2 asterisks. Descriptions of the species cited for the first time for Brazil and photographs (all taken by Ademir Kleber Morbeck de Oliveira) have been included in this paper.

Discussion

The region researched is a zone of transition from plateau to flat land in Pantanal, a place periodically flooded, with species that have not been described for the place and for Brazil, indicating its potential for study. The finding of 18 new specifies of macroscopic fungi for Brazil shows the lack of local knowledge and also how limited the number of experts who research this biome is.

Once the assessment lasted a limited period of time, it probably does not exhaust the number of species present in the region and other may come to be found. The majority of the species cited for the first time are ephemeral and, therefore, harder to find. However, more perennial species, such as Fomitiporia robusta, Cymatoderma elegans, Atheliopsis galzinii and Trametes ellipsospora have also been identified for the first time in Brazil.

Molecular studies of the new Agaricomycetes species from Brazil with commercial kits were tried but were unsucessfull, probably because the drying and conservation techniques. New approaches with manual DNA extraction are being tested and vouchers of these materials are available at the SP Herbarium.

Among the species collected, Neonothopanus gardnerii, a bioluminescent and edible species with preference on palm trees and found in several places in Brazil, can be highlighted. Hydnochaete badia, on the other hand, is a species described and known only in Brazil, probably endemic. But this paper broadens its area of geographical distribution.

Once work of environmental education and ecotourism are developed in the region, we tried to identify species of interest and to inform in the text whether they are edible, their medicinal use and applications in biotechnological processes.

Conclusion

This paper contributes to the knowledge to the mycota of Agaricomycetes of the region Planalto da Serra de Maracajú and of Brazil, broadening the knowledge of the geographical distribution of fifty-four fungi species. Fungi with potential economic interest are available in the area studied.
