Sarcoleotia Globosa (Sommerf.: Fr.) Korf, Taxonomy, Ecology and Distribution

Inclusion of Nothomitra in Geoglossomycetes

“…Both species also possess hyaline ascospores that develop 3-5 septa upon maturation. Lastly, both species are terrestrial and collection data suggests that an association with mosses exists in both species (Maas Geesteranus 1964, Schumacher andSilvertsen 1987). These morphological and ecological similarities support the close phylogenetic relationship of N. cinnamomea and S. globosa revealed by the molecular phylogeny (Fig 2).…”

A monograph of Hyaloscypha and allied genera

“…Raitviir 1985, Huhtinen 1985b, Huhtinen & Niemela 1985, Schumacher & Sivertsen 1987. In the present material, only a few species, with more than occasional collections, showed a restricted distribution.…”

Distribution and ecology of the ascomycete Sarcoleotia globosa in the United States

“…Our collections contained no spores with more than three septa, and even biseptate spores were rare. In contrast, Schumacher and Sivertsen (1987) reported that almost 10% of the spores they studied were three-or fourseptate (Table l), and uni-septate spores were most abundant (43.1 %). In our collections, non-septate spores predominated (67.8%) and 28.9% were uni-septate.…”

“…However, both characters are highly variable (Fig. 1) (Eckblad 1963;Schumacher and Sivertsen 1987) and may change with the maturity of the specimen. Our collections contained no spores with more than three septa, and even biseptate spores were rare.…”

“…(Sommerfelt 1826), it was long thought to be endemic to that region. Schumacher and Sivertsen (1987) reevaluated its distribution and taxonomy. Their thorough rcview of its nonicnclatural and taxonomic history is not repeatcd here.…”
