摘要在旧大陆的热带雨林中发现了11种白蚁属,其中7种来自马来西亚,7种来自喀麦隆共和国,其中3种为两者所共有。盘柄鳞伞与白蚁菌(Termitomycesletestui)同义,第二个记录是由类似于白蚁菌(TermitomycesheimiNatarajan)的白蚁菌(Tricholomatermitomycoides Corner)制成。在收集外生菌根真菌的大圣殿公园,雪兰莪州,Pasoh森林保护区,森美兰,无论是在马来西亚,Korup雨林国家公园,喀麦隆共和国,作为三个独立的跨学科研究的一部分,也收集了几个种群的白蚁属。本记录记录了这些发现,从而扩大了所考虑物种的已知分布。马来西亚森林研究所(FRIM)在Kepong的政策中进行了新的收集,该研究所占地1300公顷,是大圣殿公园的一部分。它以前是农业用地,在一些地方有锡矿开采,现在可以被归类为低地雨林。它是一个次要的性质,特别是因为它是人工种植在许多地区与各种龙脑香和其他标本树。种植的历史可以追溯到1929年,并有很好的记录。在森林资源研究所的一个分站Pasoh的伐木区和未伐木区进行了进一步的收集。这一地区是一个混合的低地龙脑香林占主导地位的Shorea leprosula Miq。五十多年来一直是深入研究的主题。科鲁普的采集是在一个以云实豆科植物为主的未采伐森林地区进行的。木耳属Termitomyces R.海姆一直以来不仅是真菌学家的好奇心,也是植物学家甚至昆虫学家的好奇心。1779年,德国博物学家约翰·科尼希(Johann Konig)在东印度群岛首次描述了某些白蚁和真菌之间的关系(柯林斯,1982)。白蚁属物种是众所周知的食物来源,被认为是美味佳肴,在旧世界热带地区的市场和路边有许多物种在销售。白蚁是热带地区最重要的无脊椎动物分解者,据估计,马来西亚雨林中约28%的落叶被白蚁清除(柯林斯,1982年)。大白蚁亚科(Macrotermitinae)的成员与白蚁属的成员有联系。这些白蚁
Summary. Eleven species of Termitomyces are enumerated from the rainforests of the Old World, seven from Malaysia and seven from the Republic of Cameroon, with three species common to both. Lepiota discipes Henn. is synonymised with Termitomyces letestui and a second record is made of Tricholoma termitomycoides Corner, which resembles Termitomyces heimii Natarajan. During collecting trips for ectomycorrhizal fungi to Greater Templar Park, Selangor, and Pasoh Forest Reserve, Negri Sembilan, both in Malaysia, and Korup Rainforest National Park, Republic of Cameroon, as part of three separate interdisciplinary studies, several populations of the genus Termitomyces were also collected. This account records these finds and in so doing expands the known distribution of the species considered. Fresh collections were made in the policies of the Forest Research Institute of Malaysia (FRIM) at Kepong, an area of 1300 hectares which forms part of the Greater Templar Park. It was formerly agricultural land, in some places with tin mining and can now be classified as a lowland rainforest. It is of a secondary nature especially as it was artificially planted in many areas with various dipterocarps and other specimen trees. The history of the plantings dates back to 1929 and is well documented. Further collections were made in logged and unlogged areas at Pasoh, an outstation of FRIM. This area is a mixed lowland dipterocarp forest dominated by Shorea leprosula Miq. and has been the subject of intensive study for over fifty years. The Korup collections were made in an area of unlogged forest dominated by caesalpinioid legumes. The agaric genus Termitomyces R. Heim has long been a curiosity to not only mycologists but botanists and even entomologists. The relationship between certain termites and fungi was first described in 1779 from the East Indies by Johann Konig, the German naturalist (Collins 1982). Termitomyces species are well known as a food source and are considered delicacies, with many species on sale in markets and at roadsides in the old world tropics. Termites are the most important group of invertebrate decomposers in the tropics and it is estimated that they are responsible for the removal of approximately 28% of all leaf litter in the rainforests of Malaysia (Collins 1982). Members of the family Termitidae, subfamily Macrotermitinae (the higher termites), have an association with members of the genus Termitomyces. These termites build
