Hypoxylon ochraceotuberosum and Hypoxylon rickii (Ascomycota, Hypoxylaceae) in Las Yungas of Salta province, Northwest of Argentina

Abstract

Hypoxylon ochraceotuberosum and H. rickii are reported for the first time for the Argentinean funga based on recently collected specimens from the northwestern montane forest. Until now, H. ochraceotuberosum has only been known to occur in the Martinique (French West Indies). In contrast, H. rickii was already recorded for the Southern Cone, but based on specimens collected in the Atlantic Rain Forests from Southeast Brazil. Detailed descriptions and photo illustrations are provided for each species.

Rosellinia (Xylariaceae, Ascomycota) in the Southern Yungas, novelties for the funga of Argentina

“…The xylarialean Sordariomycetes have been the most intensely collected fungi of the Ascomycota phylum in the Southern Andean Yungas for the last decades. As a result, more than one hundred species are recognized as part of this ecoregion, which represents a valuable contribution to the funga of South America (Hladki & Romero, 2010;Sir et al, 2012aSir et al, , 2012bSir et al, , 2013Sir et al, , 2015aSir et al, , 2015bSir et al, , 2016aSir et al, , 2016bLambert et al, 2019;Medina et al, 2021;Sir, 2021).…”
