Opinions are solely those of the authors and uncredited opinions solely those of the Editor. Please address comments, complaints and contributions to the largely self-appointed Editor, Andrus Voitk: seened AT gmail DOT com, … who eagerly invites contributions to OMPHALINA, dealing with any aspect even remotely related to mushrooms.

COVER Cerrena unicolor photographed by Maria Voitk March 2, 2011, in the woods towards Barry’s Lookout, Humber Village, a reminder of the beautiful days we get in March. In Newfoundland and Labrador C. unicolor is commonly found on dead birch or alder, both standing and fallen, where it causes white rot. Woodpeckers prefer brown rot for nesting, and, indeed, this hole was just a hole, not a nest cavity. The lead article gives a glimpse into the amazing life of this bracket fungus—another coevolutionary unbroken chain linking many organisms with ties that eventually bind us all together, provide us succor, but limit our freedom.
