ABSTRACT

The aim of the present study was to investigate the phylogeny and evolution of sequestrate fungi (with gastroid or partially exposed basidiomes) in relation to their gilled relatives from the Cortinariaceae (Basidiomycetes). Phylogenetic analyses of 151 ITS sequences from 77 gilled species and 37 sequestrate taxa were performed using maximum parsimony and maximum likelihood methods. Results show that sequestrate basidiome forms occur in all three major ectomycorrhizal lineages of Cortinariaceae: the clades Cortinarius, Hebeloma/Hymenogaster/Naucoria, and Descolea. However, these forms do not appear within the saprobic outgroup Gymnopilus, indicating multiple origins of sequestrate forms from ectomycorrhizal ancestors. Additionally, within the Cortinarius clade sequestrate forms have multiple origins: emergent Cortinarius spp., Thaxterogaster, Quadrispora, Protoglossum, and two Hymenogaster spp. (H. remyi, H. sublilacinus) share common ancestors with Cortinarius spp., but these sequestrate genera are not closely related to each other (with exception of Thaxterogaster and Quadrispora). Hymenogaster sensu stricto, Setchelliogaster, and Descomyces were placed in the two other major clades. Thus, sequestrate taxa evolved independently many times within brown-spored Agaricales. Furthermore, emergent, secotioid, and gastroid forms have evolved independently from each other, and so are not necessarily intermediate forms. After their establishment, these apparently morphologically stable taxa show a tendency to radiate.

ABSTRACT

We describe two brothers who developed chronic pulmonary disease in early childhood. Lung biopsies were diagnostic of lymphoid interstitial pneumonia (LIP). Familial LIP has not been previously reported, and the natural history is unknown. The elder brother experienced progressive respiratory disability and died 10 years after the onset of symptoms. The younger brother age 13, has been observed for 11 years and despite progression of pathological changes revealed in his second lung biopsy, he has had few symptoms and leads an active life. Current pulmonary function tests reveal decreased lung volumes, increased maximal expiratory flow rates and decreased lung compliance. Arterial PO2 is 75 mm Hg at rest and falls to 56 mm Hg with exercise. These findings, consistent with restrictive lung disease, contrast with the obstructive ventilatory pattern seen in some adult patients.
