“…Species limits are however often difficult to define due to the lack of good morphological characters. Recent studies confirm that the current concept of C. prunulus is polyphyletic (Hartley et al 2009, Vizzini et al 2011). Clitopilus austroprunulus is very similar morphologically to C. prunulus from Europe, and therefore Noordeloos & Gates (2012) initially listed it as Clitopilus cf.…”

“…prunulus. However, a phylogenetic analysis based on internal transcribed spacer (ITS) sequences derived from two C. austroprunulus isolates and previously published data (Co-David et al 2009, Hartley et al 2009, Vizzini et al 2011) clearly showed that the collections of C. austroprunulus cluster together as a clade of their own, phylogenetically distinct from the rest of the C. prunulus clade. The other closely related species, C. cystidiatus and C. chrischonensis are phylogenetically distinct and differ from C. austroprunulus in morphology by the abundant presence of cheilocystidia.…”

Several species are also described from South Africa, namely: Ceramothyrium podocarpi from Podocarpus, Cercospora chrysanthemoides from Chrysanthemoides, Devriesia shakazului from Aloe, Penidiella drakensbergensis from Protea, Strelitziana cliviae from Clivia and Zasmidium syzygii from Syzygium. Other species include Bipolaris microstegii from Microstegium and Synchaetomella acerina from Acer (USA), Brunneiapiospora austropalmicola from Rhopalostylis (New Zealand), Calonectria pentaseptata from Eucalyptus and Macadamia (Vietnam), Ceramothyrium melastoma from Melastoma (Indonesia), Collembolispora aristata from stream foam (Czech Republic), Devriesia imbrexigena from glazed decorative tiles (Portugal), Microcyclospora rhoicola from Rhus (Canada), Seiridium phylicae from Phylica (Tristan de Cunha, Inaccessible Island), Passalora lobeliae-fistulosis from Lobelia (Brazil) and Zymoseptoria verkleyi from Poa (The Netherlands). Valsalnicola represents a new ascomycete genus from Alnus (Austria) and Parapenidiella a new hyphomycete genus from Eucalyptus (Australia). Morphological and culture characteristics along with ITS DNA barcodes are also provided.
