Fungal diversity notes 1512–1610: taxonomic and phylogenetic contributions on genera and species of fungal taxa

Abstract

This article is the 14th in the Fungal Diversity Notes series, wherein we report 98 taxa distributed in two phyla, seven classes, 26 orders and 50 families which are described and illustrated. Taxa in this study were collected from Australia, Brazil, Burkina Faso, Chile, China, Cyprus, Egypt, France, French Guiana, India, Indonesia, Italy, Laos, Mexico, Russia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Vietnam. There are 59 new taxa, 39 new hosts and new geographical distributions with one new combination. The 59 new species comprise Angustimassarina kunmingense , Asterina lopi , Asterina brigadeirensis , Bartalinia bidenticola , Bartalinia caryotae , Buellia pruinocalcarea , Coltricia insularis , Colletotrichum flexuosum , Colletotrichum thasutense , Coniochaeta caraganae , Coniothyrium yuccicola , Dematipyriforma aquatic , Dematipyriforma globispora , Dematipyriforma nilotica , Distoseptispora bambusicola , Fulvifomes jawadhuvensis , Fulvifomes malaiyanurensis , Fulvifomes thiruvannamalaiensis , Fusarium purpurea , Gerronema atrovirens , Gerronema flavum , Gerronema keralense , Gerronema kuruvense , Grammothele taiwanensis , Hongkongmyces changchunensis , Hypoxylon inaequale , Kirschsteiniothelia acutisporum , Kirschsteiniothelia crustaceum , Kirschsteiniothelia extensum , Kirschsteiniothelia septemseptatum , Kirschsteiniothelia spatiosum , Lecanora immersocalcarea , Lepiota subthailandica , Lindgomyces guizhouensis , Marthe asmius pallidoaurantiacus , Marasmius tangerinus , Neovaginatispora mangiferae , Pararamichloridium aquisubtropicum , Pestalotiopsis piraubensis , Phacidium chinaum , ...

Two Previously Unrecorded Fungal Species Isolated from Muui Island in Korea

“…Note: The overall morphological characteristics of 1-B-1 are similar to the previously reported strain of Fusarium brachygibbosum [ 14 , 15 ]. However, the length of macroconidia of 1-B-1 was larger than that of the strain of F. brachygibbosum (22.1–48.3 µm vs. 15.2–22.0 µm) [ 14 ].…”

Multi-locus phylogenetic analyses reveal eight novel species of Distoseptispora from southern China

“…Moreover, D. jinghongensis differs from D. amniculi ( 5 ) by its shorter conidiophores (54.6–94.6 µm vs 90–180 µm) and smaller conidia (56.4–127.3 × 7.3–10.9 µm vs 85–167 × 9–11.8 µm) with fewer distosepta [7–17 vs (7–)12–24]. Distoseptispora jinghongensis is also morphologically similar to D. bambusicola ( 28 ), but the latter has bigger conidiophores (64–116 × 4–7 µm vs 54.6–94.6 × 3.6–4 µm), and yellowish-brown, longer conidia (72–193 µm vs 56.4–127.3 µm).…”

Morphophylogenetic evidence reveals four new fungal species within Tetraplosphaeriaceae (Pleosporales, Ascomycota) from tropical and subtropical forest in China

“… Tetraploa conata , T. indica , T. josettae , T. siwalika and T. taugourdeaui based on the observation that the spores of both fossil and contemporary species exhibit identical morphological characteristics. To date, there are 35 species accepted in Tetraploa ( Wijayawardene et al 2022 ; Jayawardena et al 2023 ; this study; Table 2 ). In this study, a new Tetraploa species is introduced.…”

“…Most members of Tetraplosphaeriaceae contain anamorphic species ( Wijayawardene et al 2022 ). However, Pseudotetraploa , Tetraploa , and Triplosphaeria exhibit both teleomorphs and anamorphs ( Wijayawardene et al 2022 ), while Byssolophis is only known in its teleomorphic morph ( Tanaka et al 2009 ; Ariyawansa et al 2015 ; Pem et al 2019 ; Hongsanan et al 2020 ; Li et al 2021 ; Jayawardena et al 2023 ). Tetraplosphaeriaceae is characterized by massarina-like teleomorph morphs but can be distinguished from other families by its immersed to superficial, glabrous or brown hyphae at sides of ascomata with flattened bases and cylindrical to clavate, short pedicellate 8-spored asci which are narrowly fusiform to broadly cylindrical, septate, hyaline to pale brown ascospores, usually with a complete sheath or appendage-like sheath ( Tanaka et al 2009 ; Hyde et al 2013 ).…”
