Multigene phylogeny and taxonomic revision of Atheliales s.l.: Reinstatement of three families and one new family, Lobuliciaceae fam. nov.

Delimiting species in Basidiomycota: a review

“…Molecular studies have revealed that characters such as basidioma formation and habit, hymenophore type, and color of spore-print were traditionally overemphasized (Singer 1986;Horak 2005) and are not reliable phylogenetic markers at higher taxonomic level, having resulted in many artificial groups (Hibbett et al 1997;Hibbett 2007He et al 2019;Varga et al 2019;Sánchez-García et al 2020). While some nongilled resupinate, cyphelloid, aphyllophoralean, and gasteroid fungi should be included in Agaricales (Hibbett et al 1997;Bodensteiner et al 2004;Binder et al 2005Binder et al , 2010Matheny et al 2006a, b;Sulistyo et al 2021), the opposite is also true-some typical pileate-stipitate gilled mushroom occur in other orders of Agaricomycetes: Lactifluus, Lactarius, Lentinellus, Multifurca, and Russula in Russulales (Miller et al 2006;Buyck et al 2008); Erytrophylloporus, Hygrophoropsis, Paxillus, Phylloporopsis, Phylloporus, and Tapinella in Boletales (Binder and Hibbett 2006;Farid et al 2018;Vadthanarat et al 2019b); and Contumyces, Gyroflexus, and Rickenella in Hymenochaetales (Larsson et al 2006). Automated searches of the NCBI GenBank and MycoCosm databases by Kalichman et al (2020) found that 7% of generic names of Agaricales had DNA sequences of their type specimens, 68% had sequences of their type species, 87% of genera were represented by sequences (nontype), and 103 accepted genera lacked sequence data.…”

“…The order Atheliales comprises five families (Atheliaceae, Byssocorticiaceae, Lobuliciaceae, Pilodermataceae, and Tylosporaceae), approximately 20 genera, and about 100 described species of mostly corticioid fungi (Sulistyo et al 2021). Over the years, several genera have been described and added to Atheliales, based on morphological characters alone (Hjortstam and Ryvarden 2010) or combined with molecular phylogenetic evidence (Kotiranta et al 2011).…”

“…Over the years, several genera have been described and added to Atheliales, based on morphological characters alone (Hjortstam and Ryvarden 2010) or combined with molecular phylogenetic evidence (Kotiranta et al 2011). Sequence-based studies found some of these genera to be polyphyletic, sometimes with members clustering within other orders (Hibbett et al 2007;Ertz et al 2008;Binder et al 2010;Sulistyo et al 2021). Members of Atheliales are generally inconspicuous and possess few diagnostic features, including pellicular basidiomata, thin-walled hyphae in a monomitic hyphal system, rarely with cystidia, which, if present, are little differentiated (Eriksson and Ryvarden 1973;Larsson 2007;Bernicchia and Gorjón 2010).…”

Morphological and phylogenetic characterization of fungi within Hymenochaetales: introducing two new species from southern China

“…Corticioid fungi are a diverse and heterogeneous group of fungi mainly referred to basidiomycete fungi in which basidiomes are generally resupinate, in which basidiome construction is often simple, and in most cases, only generative hyphae are found, and in more structured basidiomes, those with a reflexed margin or with a pileate surface, more or less sclerified hyphae are usually found (Gorjón 2020). Molecular phylogenetic studies have elucidated the relationships among different taxa of corticioid fungi, which is now known to be a polyphyletic group (Larsson and Larsson 2003, Larsson et al 2004, Binder et al 2005, 2010, Larsson 2007, Sulistyo et al 2021).…”

Chlovalicin B, a Chlorinated Sesquiterpene Isolated from the Marine Mushroom Digitatispora marina

“…The genus is one of the few genera of marine mushrooms and has been included in a number of phylogenetic studies. It has been placed in different orders, including Atheliales and Russulales [5,6]. In the most recent study by Sulistyo et al, Digitatispora was placed in the Niaceae family of the order Agaricales with node support from both bootstrap and posterior probability (BS/PP = 98/1.00) [6,7].…”
