INTRODUCTION VENICE HERBARIUM MOOREA BIOCODE CONCLUSIONS
Fungi are diverse and poorly-known
Most are cryptic over the majority of their life cycle
Many are economically important:
- Pathogens- Mutualists- Foods, medicines,
industrial products

Unknowns:
• Diversity of life cycle stages (e.g., endophyte to pathogen transitions)
• Host ranges• Geographic ranges / biogeography• Community ecology

Unknowns:
• Diversity of life cycle stages (e.g., endophyte to pathogen transitions)
• Host ranges• Geographic ranges / biogeography• Community ecology
INTRODUCTION VENICE HERBARIUM MOOREA BIOCODE CONCLUSIONS
All of these characters are relevant to understanding ecology and evolution of fungi, and tracking the spread of fungal species.

Unknowns:
• Diversity of life cycle stages (e.g., endophyte to pathogen transitions)
• Host ranges• Geographic ranges / biogeography• Community ecology
INTRODUCTION VENICE HERBARIUM MOOREA BIOCODE CONCLUSIONS
DNA Barcoding is a useful and important tool for identifying fungi (rapid • able to detect cryptic fungi) and thereby understanding these factors…
![Page 7: Todd Osmundson - Algae, Protists & Fungi Plenary](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103114/55500193b4c905bc138b5249/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)
Unknowns:
• Diversity of life cycle stages (e.g., endophyte to pathogen transitions)
• Host ranges• Geographic ranges / biogeography• Community ecology
INTRODUCTION VENICE HERBARIUM MOOREA BIOCODE CONCLUSIONS
… However, utility of this tool is dependent upon existence of comprehensive sequence databases and methods for confidently assigning taxonomic identities via sequence comparisons.

INTRODUCTION VENICE HERBARIUM MOOREA BIOCODE CONCLUSIONS
2 recent projects:
• Barcoding the Venice Museum of Natural History Fungal Collection (Institutional)
• The Moorea Biocode Project (Geographic ) Issues/Questions:
• What types of target are most effective?• What types of sampling are most effective?• What are the implications for barcoding
strategy?

Strengths:• Links to Italy’s largest amateur mycological society
(Associazione Micologica Bresadola)• Collaboration with taxonomic experts• Taxonomic diversity of collections• Collections relatively recent• Habitat diversity (Alps plains Apennines
Mediterranean)

Classification potential of ITS barcodes:• Can ITS barcodes predict membership in genera and families based on overall similarity?
• Distance / UPGMA approach based on ITS1 + ITS2 distance matrices

INTRODUCTION VENICE HERBARIUM MOOREA BIOCODE CONCLUSIONS
Classification potential of ITS barcodes:• May reveal errors in classification; e.g., segregate genera in Coprinoid fungi
![Page 21: Todd Osmundson - Algae, Protists & Fungi Plenary](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103114/55500193b4c905bc138b5249/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
INTRODUCTION VENICE HERBARIUM MOOREA BIOCODE CONCLUSIONS
Is there a ‘barcoding gap’?•Compared number of nucleotide
differences within and between identified taxa
•Assessed 2 types of potential error:- False negative (same ITS for different species)- False positive (>1 ITS for one species)
![Page 22: Todd Osmundson - Algae, Protists & Fungi Plenary](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103114/55500193b4c905bc138b5249/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)

When differentiation fails (same ITS sequence for species identified as different):• 60 pairs with 0 bp difference but not
belonging to the same species:- 59 congeners (synonyms, species
complexes or ‘minor’ misidentifications)- 1 epigeous - sequestrate confamilial pair
(Leucoagaricus medioflavoides + Endoptychum agaricoides)

INTRODUCTION VENICE HERBARIUM MOOREA BIOCODE CONCLUSIONS
Examination of ITS1 and ITS2 as “mini-barcodes”
• Improved sequencing success rate: ITS1 amplified using primers ITS1F + ITS2 for 30 randomly-selected samples previously negative for full-length PCR amplifications (using ITS1F + ITS4) from 3 large genera:
GENUS PCR-POSITIVE SEQUENCE- Cortinarius 30/30 (100%)

INTRODUCTION VENICE HERBARIUM MOOREA BIOCODE CONCLUSIONS
Conclusions, Venice Herbarium Project:
• Similarity-based taxonomic assignment using ITS sequences works reasonably well at genus and family levels (but not flawless)
• At species level, incorrect assignments (assessed for morphospecies) in both “false negative” and “false positive” directions.
• A 1-2% divergence cutoff eliminates most “false positives” (>1 ITS sequence per morphospecies); however, “false negatives” (>1 taxon per ITS sequence occur even at 0-1 nucleotide difference.

Incomplete database?Potential radiations?Insular rapid evolution?
• 23% exhibit best BLAST match to environmental sequence (cultured or uncultured)
• Voucher-supported sequences will enhance ecological and biodiversity discovery; underscores importance of collections-based research

evolution• If to named material: sequencing
facilitates ID of Moorea taxa• If to environmental sequences:

INTRODUCTION VENICE HERBARIUM MOOREA BIOCODE CONCLUSIONS
CONCLUSIONS:
Large-scale barcoding approaches based on institutional collections and ecosystems contribute to the study of fungal biodiversity, ecology, biogeography, and epidemiology.
Institutional targeting: • Adds barcodes for well vouchered and
identified material• Adds value to herbarium collections• Allows assessment of barcode “behavior”
(laboratory approaches, barcoding gaps, need for multilocus barcodes, etc.) for different taxonomic groups
![Page 44: Todd Osmundson - Algae, Protists & Fungi Plenary](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103114/55500193b4c905bc138b5249/html5/thumbnails/44.jpg)
INTRODUCTION VENICE HERBARIUM MOOREA BIOCODE CONCLUSIONS
CONCLUSIONS, continued:Ecosystem targeting:• Increases representation of poorly-sampled
biomes • Aids biogeographic studies• Barcoding speeds time to identification,
facilitating biodiversity surveys
Both Approaches:• Exhibit advantages over focusing on specific
taxonomic groups of expertise or interest• Offer opportunities for collaboration with
taxonomic specialists and amateur enthusiasts

INTRODUCTION VENICE HERBARIUM MOOREA BIOCODE CONCLUSIONS
IMPLICATIONS OF LARGE-SCALE STUDIES FOR DNA BARCODING OF FUNGI:
1. Utility of ITS as a barcode locus:• Similarity-based searches are often
sufficient for assignment to genera and families
• Use as a species-specific marker problematic due to false negatives and positives
• A firm “barcoding gap” is lacking, though some level of success is met using 1-2 bp differences; A 98% or 97% similarity threshold appears to be too low; most species-level similarity is on the order of 99% or higher
![Page 46: Todd Osmundson - Algae, Protists & Fungi Plenary](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103114/55500193b4c905bc138b5249/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
INTRODUCTION VENICE HERBARIUM MOOREA BIOCODE CONCLUSIONS
IMPLICATIONS OF LARGE-SCALE STUDIES FOR DNA BARCODING OF FUNGI:
2. “Environmental species”:• Formal (or semi-formal) recognition of
entities known only from environmental DNA sequences; subject of a formal discussion session at 2011 MSA annual meeting
• Appealing as a means to improve comparison across studies and progress from descriptive or comparative community studies (OTU-based) to a more functional understanding of communities and ecosystems
![Page 47: Todd Osmundson - Algae, Protists & Fungi Plenary](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103114/55500193b4c905bc138b5249/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)
INTRODUCTION VENICE HERBARIUM MOOREA BIOCODE CONCLUSIONS
IMPLICATIONS OF LARGE-SCALE STUDIES FOR DNA BARCODING OF FUNGI:
2. “Environmental species” (continued):• Our results suggest that a simple identity-
or similarity-based approach may be useful for group placement (genera or families), but species-level circumscription is unlikely.
![Page 48: Todd Osmundson - Algae, Protists & Fungi Plenary](https://reader037.vdocument.in/reader037/viewer/2022103114/55500193b4c905bc138b5249/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)
INTRODUCTION VENICE HERBARIUM MOOREA BIOCODE CONCLUSIONS
IMPLICATIONS OF LARGE-SCALE STUDIES FOR DNA BARCODING OF FUNGI:
3. Multilocus barcodes:• Already well-recognized that ITS is not a
species-level barcode for some groups of Ascomycota
• Our results strongly suggest that a similar issue exists for Agaricales (Basidiomycota) as well.
