anaholomorphs. Continuum dispersion is more typical for
holomorphs with Septoria anamorphs spread over the
Eurasian-American region, while constituent teleomorphs
sometimes are geographically limited with disjunctions in
arid areas.

Descriptions, drawings of microscopic features and
photographs of 12 new taxa (11 species and 1 variety) of
the genus Marasmius s. str. (Basidiomycetes,
Tricholomataceae) of the sect. Epiphylli, Fusicystides,
Globulares, Hygrometrici and Neosessiles from tropical
Africa are presented. Six species (M. albidocremeus, M.
camerunensis, M. lacteoides, M. muramwyanensis, M.
kigwenensis, M. tshopoensis) belong to the sect.
Globulares, two species and one variety (M. minutoides,
M. minutoides var. angustisporus, M. nyika) to the sect.
Hygrometrici, one species to the sect. Epiphylli (M.
foliiphilus), sect. Fusicystides (M. longicystidiatus) and
sect. Neosessiles (M. bururiensis). Species presented here
represent a part of results of the monographic studies of the
genus Marasmius in tropical Africa.

Due to the close relationship between fungi and
environment, conservation of fungal species often depends
on environmental protection. This is particularly true for
entities that grow exclusively in certain habitats; if their
habitat is threatened, so are they. Areas of particular
phytogeographical interest and/or limited size were listed
for Tuscany under the 'Bioitaly' project which implements
the Habitats Directive 92/43; many of these areas were
surveyed from the mycological point of view in the Tuscan
mapping project. The mycoflora of some of these areas was
not systematically monitored until recently. The results for
the relict mountain mires and autochthonous spruce forest
in the National Natural Reserve of Campolino in the upper
Sestaione Valley (pSIC IT5130001), the coastal dunes of
Burano Lake (pSIC IT5190032) and Diaccia Botrona
(pSIC IT5190011) are reported here. Information on
environmental features is given for each of the areas listed,
together with a list of epigeous macromycetes to be
included in a future Tuscan Red-List. The IUCN category
140
of each fungal species is indicated. The exsiccata of taxa
proposed for the regional Red-List are preserved in the
Herbarium Universitatis Senensis (SIENA).

The Association of Tuscan Mycology Groups (AGMT)
was formed in 1993. It currently coordinates 22 mycology
groups, is active in scientific research and in the field of
education. In collaboration with the Tuscan Agency for
Development and Innovation in Agriculture and Forestry
(ARSIA), the Tuscan Regional Administration, the
botanical gardens and the universities, AGMT is beginning
a new programme involving census, mapping and
conservation of epigeous fungi in Tuscany. The first census
(1995-98) led to publication of a check-list of about 1000
taxa. Besides adding to the check-list, the new convention
will draw up a regional red-list based on IUCN criteria
(2000). The first part of the programme involves
bibliographic research to create a Tuscan mycological
database. The data of the mapping projects presented by
the Italian Botanical Society (SBI), the Confederatio
Europeae Micologiae Mediterraneensis (CEMM) and the
European Council for the Conservation of Fungi (ECCF)
will then be extrapolated. The database will include data on
vegetation and substrate, frequency, and chart coordinates
for each taxon. The exsiccata will be kept in the Herbarium
Universitatis Senensis (SIENA). Details of the project can
be viewed on the ARSIA website.

Taxonomy of Fusarium in Japan has long been based on
the Snyder & Hansen's taxonomic system, especially
among workers in the phytopathology. The taxonomic
system was really epoch-making and recognized only nine
species within the giant anamorphic genus based on the
present sense of Fusarium mycology. Application of
taxonomic systems contradictory to it, such as
Wollenweber & Reinking's or Booth's, was also tried in
Japan, but recognition or description of a new taxon was
