Abstract
Summary. Gasteroid, hypogeal Basidiomycota allied to the ballistosporic families of the Boletales, and to the Agaricales and Aphyllophorales occurring in Victoria State, Australia, are described and illustrated. The following families are recognized. Rhizopogonaceae with two species of Rhizopogon and three species of Alpova, and Chamonixiaceae with three species of Chamonixia. Alpova grandisporus, A. lignicolor and Chamonixia vittatispora are described as new species, and two new combinations are proposed: Alpova clelandii and Chamonixia pachydermis. In Agaricales, two species of Hysterogaster in Secotiaceae and two species of Richoniellaceae are recognized, and two new combinations are proposed for Hysterogasterfusisporus (Hysterangium) and H. tasmanicus (Hymenogaster). In Aphyllophorales, Stephanospora flava of Stephanosporaceae is recognized and described. 5. BOLETALES Gilbert Les Bolets: 82 (1931). Subdivision Holobasidiomycetidae. Basidiome pilothecial with either pileus or peridium and an underlying hymenophore. Boletoid, agaricoid or gasteroid. Context homoiomerous, lacking sphaerocytes, with or without clampconnexions. Hymenophore various, truly lamellate, secondarily lamellate, gyrose, boletinoid, tubulate, labyrinthoid or loculate. Basidiospores either ballistosporic or statismosporic in structure, hyaline or pigmented, globose to cylindric, smooth or with a eusporial ornamentation, often with a hyaline, inamyloid myxosporium. Development gymnocarpic, hemiangiocarpic or angiocarpic. World-wide, epigeal or hypogeal, often forming ectotrophic mycorrhizal associations. Smith & Singer (1959) proposed a 'Gastroboletus Series' associating ballistosporic boletoid genera with statismosporic secotioid and hypogeal genera. Pegler & Young (1981) recognized six families within the Boletales, each representing a different line of descent but developing along parallel lines, and all associated with hypogeal, gasteroid genera. In the present paper, two families restricted to hypogeal gasteroid genera, from Victoria State, Australia, are considered, namely Rhizopogonaceae Gaum. & Dodge (possibly allied to Boletaceae Chev.), and Chamonixiaceae Jiilich (possibly allied to Gyrodontaceae (Singer) Heinem.).
