“…The pairwise nucleotide comparison showed that our strain (CGMCC 3.23748) differs from L. urticae (MFLU 18-0591) in 44/487 bp of ITS (9.03%, with 5 gaps) and L. pedicularis (CBS 390.80) in 37/513 bp of ITS (7.23%, with 6 gaps) and 24/334 bp of tub 2 (7.19%, with 2 gaps). Significant morphological differences were observed when compared with the literature for the genus (for example, [ 2 , 5 , 13 , 41 , 53 ]). Leptosphaeria yunnanensis differs from related species by having a unique conidiomatal wall that occupies almost the entire interior of the conidiomata and sporulation indistinctly in the centre.…”

Leptosphaeriaceae is a widely distributed fungal family with diverse lifestyles. The family includes several genera that can be distinguished by morphology and molecular phylogenetic analysis. During our investigation of saprobic fungi on grasslands in Yunnan Province, China, four fungal taxa belonging to Leptosphaeriaceae associated with grasses were collected. Morphological observations and phylogenetic analyses of the combined SSU, LSU, ITS, tub2, and rpb2 loci based on maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference were used to reveal the taxonomic placement of these fungal taxa. This study introduces four new taxa, viz. Leptosphaeria yunnanensis, L. zhaotongensis, Paraleptosphaeria kunmingensis, and Plenodomus zhaotongensis. Colour photo plates, full descriptions, and a phylogenetic tree to show the placement of the new taxa are provided.

“…In contrast, the remaining states, such as Arunachal Pradesh, Assam, Gujarat, Haryana, Madhya Pradesh, Mizoram, Nagaland, Sikkim, Tamil Nadu, Telangana, West Bengal, Tripura, as well as the Union Territories of Andaman and Nicobar Islands, have received significantly less attention in terms of research on this subject.

The families, Hypoxylaceae and Xylariaceae, constitute a well-known group of fungi, with a distribution that is dominant throughout the world. This article reviews available literature, books, and doctoral theses on this group of fungi, producing a checklist of Hypoxylaceae and Xylariaceae species. A total of 206 species has been identified, including both newly introduced and previously recorded species from India. These species belong to 23 different genera across the two distinct families. Among these, the genus, Xylaria, stands out with the highest number of species (76 spp.), making it the most species-rich genus within the two families. The genus Hypoxylon comes next, as the second most species-bearing genus (36 spp.), followed by the genus Rosellinia, which is the third most species-bearing genus (20 spp.

“…More recently, Niranjan and Sarma [451] compiled a checklist of fungi reported from the Andaman-Nicobar Islands, where many palmicolous fungi have been documented. Several other palmicolous fungi, including new species, have been reported from the rainforests of these islands by Ram and Sinha [452] and Niranjan and Sarma [453][454][455][456][457].…”

“…Later, the new species Dictyocheirospora indica (as Dictyosporium indicum) was collected on a petiole of Phoenix rupicola from India [593] and the new species Endophragmiella licualae was collected on dead branches of Licuala fordiana from China [594]. More recently, several palmicolous fungi, including new species, have been reported from the rainforests of the Andaman-Nicobar Islands (India) by Niranjan and Sarma [453][454][455]457] based on morphology alone, including important palmicolous genera whose taxonomic resolution highly relies on DNA sequence data, such as members of Aigialaceae, viz. Fissuroma and Neoastrosphaeriella, and Astrosphaeriellaceae, viz.…”

Palm Fungi and Their Key Role in Biodiversity Surveys: A Review

Over the past three decades, a wealth of studies has shown that palm trees (Arecaceae) are a diverse habitat with intense fungal colonisation, making them an important substratum to explore fungal diversity. Palm trees are perennial, monocotyledonous plants mainly restricted to the tropics that include economically important crops and highly valued ornamental plants worldwide. The extensive research conducted in Southeast Asia and Australasia indicates that palm fungi are undoubtedly a taxonomically diverse assemblage from which a remarkable number of new species is continuously being reported. Despite this wealth of data, no recent comprehensive review on palm fungi exists to date. In this regard, we present here a historical account and discussion of the research on the palm fungi to reflect on their importance as a diverse and understudied assemblage. The taxonomic structure of palm fungi is also outlined, along with comments on the need for further studies to place them within modern DNA sequence-based classifications. Palm trees can be considered model plants for studying fungal biodiversity and, therefore, the key role of palm fungi in biodiversity surveys is discussed. The close association and intrinsic relationship between palm hosts and palm fungi, coupled with a high fungal diversity, suggest that the diversity of palm fungi is still far from being fully understood. The figures suggested in the literature for the diversity of palm fungi have been revisited and updated here. As a result, it is estimated that there are about 76,000 species of palm fungi worldwide, of which more than 2500 are currently known. This review emphasises that research on palm fungi may provide answers to a number of current fungal biodiversity challenges.
