The recently generated molecular phylogeny for the kingdom Fungi, on which a new classification scheme is based, still suffers from an under representation of numerous apparently asexual genera of microfungi. In an attempt to populate the Fungal Tree of Life, fresh samples of 10 obscure genera of hyphomycetes were collected. These fungi were subsequently established in culture, and subjected to DNA sequence analysis of the ITS and LSU nrRNA genes to resolve species and generic questions related to these obscure genera. Brycekendrickomyces (Herpotrichiellaceae) is introduced as a new genus similar to, but distinct from Haplographium and Lauriomyces. Chalastospora is shown to be a genus in the Pleosporales, with two new species, C. ellipsoidea and C. obclavata, to which Alternaria malorum is added as an additional taxon under its oldest epithet, C. gossypii. Cyphellophora eugeniae is newly described in Cyphellophora (Herpotrichiellaceae), and distinguished from other taxa in the genus. Dictyosporium is placed in the Pleosporales, with one new species, D. streliziae. The genus Edenia, which was recently introduced for a sterile endophytic fungus isolated in Mexico, is shown to be a hyphomycete (Pleosporales) forming a pyronellea-like synanamorph in culture. Thedgonia is shown not to represent an anamorph of Mycosphaerella, but to belong to the Helotiales. Trochophora, however, clustered basal to the Pseudocercospora complex in the Mycosphaerellaceae, as did Verrucisporota. Vonarxia, a rather forgotten genus of hyphomycetes, is shown to belong to the Herpotrichiellaceae and Xenostigmina is confirmed as synanamorph of Mycopappus, and is shown to be allied to Seifertia in the Pleosporales. Dichotomous keys are provided for species in the various genera treated. Furthermore, several families are shown to be polyphyletic within some orders, especially in the Capnodiales, Chaetothyriales and Pleosporales.

“…2 The assigning of unique MycoBank database reference numbers to newly described fungi when they are first published is a practice initiated in 2004 with the publication of Crous et al (2004b). For further information on the philosophy and procedures involved see Crous et al (2004a). The securing of such numbers prior to publication is likely to be become a mandatory editorial requirement for the acceptance for papers including descriptions of new species in the leading mycological (including lichenological) journals over the next few years.…”

The first lichen-forming species of Psammina, P. palmata sp. nov., with notes on the status of Cheiromycina and Pycnopsammina

The first lichen-forming species of Psammina, P. palmata sp. nov., is described from decorticate oak in West Suffolk (UK). It is distinguished from other species by the palmate and 2–3-order branched non-septate conidia flattened in a single plane. The conidia recall those of the lichen-forming hyphomycete genus Cheiromycina in some respects, but do not originate from the swollen subglobose cells characteristic of that genus. The generic concepts in this complex of algicolous, lichen-forming, lichenicolous, and saprobic fungi are discussed, and it is concluded that Pycnopsammina should be treated as a synonym of Psammina as the conidiogenesis resembles that of the type species of Psammina, which also has rather similar conidiomata; the combination Psammina lobariae comb. nov. (syn. Pycnopsammina lobariae) is therefore made. A key to the eight species now accepted in the genus is provided, which now includes algicolous, lichen-forming, lichenicolous, and plant saprobic species.
