Steccherinum straminellum, a new record for Italy
2012
The first Italian record of Steccherinum straminellum is reported from Sicily. This collection represents the first record on wood of broadleaved trees. A description and line drawing of the species based on the Sicilian specimens are provided along with notes on the taxonomy, ecology, and distribution of this rare taxon.
Australohydnum dregeanum new to Italy
2014
We report on the first finding in Italy (and the third in Europe) of Australohydnum dregeanum. A detailed description of the macro- and micromorphological features, the ecological data, and some taxonomic remarks concerning this taxon are provided. The bluish tint in the centre of the hymenophoral surface and the non-cystidiform aspect of the marginal hyphae are previously undescribed characters.

Ecology, environmental requirements and conservation of corticioid fungi occupying small diameter dead wood
2016
The increasing human impact upon the biosphere of earth is causing profound changes across all spatial scales. The ability to cope with human-induced disturbance varies among organisms; specialist species are more negatively affected than generalist species. Forests are among the most heavily affected ecosystems; especially the dead wood associated organisms are in peril. The earlier research has strongly focused on large diameter dead wood and associated species. The aim of this thesis was to investigate small diameter dead wood and collect systematic information about species richness and abundance as well as habitat and substrate preferences of associated corticioid fungi. Fungal data wa…
