Colville National Forest Macro-fungi Surveys Interagency Special Status/Sensitive Species Program Final Report, December 7, 2009 Kathy Ahlenslager, Colville National Forest, 765 S. Main, Colville, WA, 509-684-7178, kahlenslager@fs.fed.us. Introduction Through this project a list of 228 macro-fungi from the Colville National Forest was created from spring and fall surveys in 2009 (Table 1). One, Cudonia monticola, is listed as Sensitive on the Regional Forester’s Special Status Species List (2008). This is the first list of macro-fungi taxa for the Forest. Two cooperators, Dr. James Groth and Drew Parker, collected and identified specimens. Parker considers another species, Volvariella smithii, quite rare. Methods Each of the two cooperators surveyed two locations for a total of 169 acres, as shown in Table 2. The sites occurred across the Colville National Forest (Maps 1-7). Surveys were conducted according to the Region 6 “Macro-fungi Sporocarp Survey Protocol” (USDA FS and USDI BLM 2008). Each of the four sites was surveyed three times, once in the spring and twice in the fall. Specimens were collected, prepared, and identified by the cooperators. Results Tables 4-7 are taxa lists for each of the four sites with the date observed. Sighting forms and GPS locations for sensitive taxa were provided by the cooperators. The Colville National Forest GIS layer and NRIS database will be updated for sensitive taxa by Forest Service employees. A reference collection of two rare fungi were sent to Darci Pankratz-Rivers, ISSSSP Inventory Coordinator Assistant, for curation at the University of Washington Herbarium at the Burke Museum.

Comments from Parker: “I did well on the fall surveys despite the dry September and early end of the season from the cold snap at the beginning of October. It was an unusual year weatherwise and the fungal fruiting was a little unusual as well. Bunchgrass peaked in late August but was still fair near the end of September. It was a matter of keeping track of when and where it rained.” Taxa Albatrellus ovinus Amanita muscaria var. alba Amanita muscaria var. flavivolvata Amanita pantherina Auricularia auricula Boletus coniferarum Boletus edulis Boletus smithii Byssonectria terrestris Calvatia fumosa Catathelasma ventricosum Chalciporus piperatus Chroogomphus ochraceus Chroogomphus vinicolor Climacocystis borealis Clitocybe glacialis Collybia tuberosa Coltricia perennis Cortinarius ahsii Cortinarius caperatus (=Rozites caperatus) Cortinarius croceus Cortinarius flavoroseus (nom. prov.)

Fall counts. 8 September and 5 October 2009. September date: moderately warm and dry. No evidence of recent rain. October date: weather cool, high about 35, snow cover about 50% near highway to 80% on Sherman Peak Loop Trail. Snow is not deep enough to cover larger musrooms. However, dry conditions on pass nearly all summer meant that few mushrooms were present before cold snap, as was observed there in August (brief visit) and September.” Taxa Notes July 5, 2009 Agrocybe praecox Clitocybe squamulosa Cortinarius. sp.
