Panus fasciatus

Panus fasciatus (common name includes hairy trumpet) is a species of fungi in the family Polyporaceae in the genus Panus of the Basidiomycota.[1] P. fasciatus has a fruiting body in the shape of a funnel with a velvety texture hence the nickname "hairy trumpet." When it was identified by D. Pegler of Kew,[2] he created a subgroup of the Lentinus fungi, called Panus based on their hyphal systems.[3] For this reason, Panus fasciatus is sometimes referred to as Lentinus fasciatus.[1] Panus fasciatus has been described with numerous other names which were combined by Pegler in 1965.

Morphology

The fungus has a unique shape, with the cap in-rolled when the fungus is young, and then developing a funnel shape over time.[5] It is also known for having pale brown hairs that cover the cap. [6] In dry conditions, the stalk peels like bark but return to normal following rain.[5] P. fasciatus also has deeply decurrent gills, a velvety pileus, and dense hairs.[7] The fungus can have purple gills that turn brown as they mature.[5] The spores have a white print. [6]

Reproduction

Basidiospores of P. fasciatus reside on the hymenium of the gills of the fruiting body[8]. When two germinating basidiospores of opposite mating type fuse via plasmogamy, the two nuclei remain unfused while a basidiocarp fruiting body is formed[8]. On the gills beneath the cap, numerous basidia are formed[8]. Karyogamy and meiosis occur and give rise to mature basidiospores[8]. These are then released via the Buller's drop method of spore release. [8]

Ecology

Panus fasciatus is a wood decaying saprotroph feeding on rotting logs or small branches.[9]

Habitat

Panus fasciatus is commonly found in drier woodland environments, amongst grass, beneath eucalypts, acacias, and casuarinas.[5] It is usually exposed to sunlight most of the day.[5]

Distribution

Panus fasciatus is commonly found in southern and eastern Australia, Africa, Cameroon,[10] Oceania, Papua New Guinea, and New Caledonia, however much of its distribution is unknown.[7] It has been recorded in low numbers in the Jarrah forest region of western Australia.[11]

Taxonomy

The species was originally described by Berkeley in 1840 as Lentinus fasciatus[12]. It was later renamed by David Pegler of the Kew Royal Botanical Garden in 1965 in the Australian Journal of Botany[1]. Pegler treated Panus as a subgroup of Lentinus, however another mycologist, Corner, considered Panus and Lentinus as two separate genre based on their hyphal systems, so their relationship is controversial. [3] These subgroups were identified based on morphology, but held true for the most part upon more molecular data. [13] Pegler's identification of P. fasciatus was based on collections from Tasmania gathered by R.C. Dunn and R. W. Lawrence[12]. P. fasciatus was among the first fungal species to be identified in Australia. [12]
