Hidden fungal diversity from the Neotropics: Geastrum hirsutum, G. schweinitzii (Basidiomycota, Geastrales) and their allies

Abstract: Taxonomy of Geastrum species in the neotropics has been subject to divergent opinions among specialists. In our study, type collections were reassessed and compared with recent collections in order to delimit species in Geastrum, sect. Myceliostroma, subsect. Epigaea. A thorough review of morphologic features combined with barcode and phylogenetic analyses (ITS and LSU nrDNA) revealed six new species (G. neoamericanum, G. rubellum, G. brunneocapillatum, G. baculicrystallum, G. rubropusillum and G. courtecuisse… Show more

“…Our results suggest that a great number of species might be hidden within the circum-tropical P. indusiatus species concept, since the sequence data obtained from GenBank are clearly polyphyletic with different relationships with other Phallus species (Figures 2, 3). In a similar way, several studies have unveiled cryptic fungal diversity hidden within species complexes, especially after the integration of phenotypic, single-DNA and next-generation sequencing (NGS) data (Geml et al 2006, Jargeat et al 2010, Kasuya et al 2012, Kõljalg et al 2013, Sousa et al 2017, Accioly et al 2019). For instance, Geml et al (2008) revealed that at least eight phylogenetic species are found in the worldwide distribution of Amanita muscaria (L.) Lam, with strong intercontinental genetic disjunctions and intracontinental phylogeographic structure.…”

“… The tree was obtained after a Bayesian analysis (ITS nrDNA) in MrBayes v. 3.2.7a ( Ronquist et al 2012 ) using the settings indicated in Accioly et al (2019) , protocol deposited in protocols.io ( https://doi.org/10.17504/protocols.io.wpdfdi6 ). …”

“…Many taxa of fungi have recently been described using an integrative approach, combining morphology, DNA data and ecology (e.g. Aime 2004;Singh et al 2015;Accioly et al 2019;Jumbam et al 2019;Sochorová et al 2019). This was also shown to be a useful approach in the delimitation of species within Chroogomphus (Scambler et al 2018).…”
