“…In Microstoma , the presence of hyphal mats has been reported in M. apiculosporum ( Wang, 2004 ; Ohmae et al, 2020 ), M. floccosum ( Kanouse, 1948 ; Wang, 2001 ), and M. radicatum ( Liu et al, 2018 ). In the present study, for the first time, we confirmed that hyphae consisting of hyphal mats of M. longipilum showed the same chemical reaction as hairs using 10% KOH ( Fig.…”
Microstoma longipilum sp. nov. collected from two localities in Japan is described. It is characterized by long apothecial hairs and salmon pink discs. Molecular phylogenetic analyses supported the novelty of the fungus. We additionally reported the overlooked morphology of hyphal mats, conidiogenous cells produced directly from ascospores, and conidia. With the addition of M. longipilum, now six species of Microstoma are documented in Japan.

“…Korf is also similar in having 3-septate ascospores, but is characterized by whitish apothecia and larger ascospores (16.4~20 µm long) [ 16 ]. Arachnopeziza hiemalis Yei Z. Wang is distinguished from A. aurelia by its much larger asci (115~150 × 11~12 µm) and ascospores (20~28 × 4.5~5.5 µm) [ 19 ]. It was first reported in Korea by Park et al in 1985 [ 10 ].…”
A fungal survey that targeted the tribe Arachnopezizeae (Hyaloscyphaceae, Helotiales) was conducted in Korea. One variety belonging to Proliferodiscus and one species belonging to Rodwayella are recorded for the first time from Korea. Proliferodiscus inspersus var. magniascus differs from P. earoleucus by its amyloid reaction in ascal apices and larger asci. Rodwayella citrinula is distinguished from other members of the genus by small ascospores and its occurrence on grasses. The descriptions, illustrations and cultural characteristics of the species are provided.
“…Monographs, dichotomous and synoptic keys (Brummelen van 1969, Korf 1972, Richardson et al 1997, Hansen et al 1998, Bell 1983, 2005, Doveri 2004) comprising morphological characters such as mycelium, ascomata, vestiture, asci, ascospore, colour, shape, size and formation were extensively used. Comparisons with referenced work were done (Prokhorov 1991, Wang 1993, 1997. Digital photomicrographs were taken on LEICA EZ4D® stereo and LEICA® compound microscope equipped with LEICA Application Suite® (LAS) software.…”

“…Our collection however, differs in the size of important features from the Russian collection of A. amoenus (Prokhorov 1991). The Taiwan collection of A. amoenus examined by Wang (1997) had broadly clavate asci 395-475 × 33-47 μm, ellipsoidal ascospores, 33-36 × 16-18 μm with unilateral or all-sided gelatinous sheath and paraphyses that were filiform, not enlarged at tips, 2-3 μm wide and embedded in greenish yellow mucus. A. amoenus is differentiated from A. elegans (J. Klein) Brumm.…”

Species of coprophilous Ascobolus were examined in a study of coprophilous fungi in different habitats and wildlife dung types from National Parks in Kenya. Dung samples were collected in the field and returned to the laboratory where they were incubated in moist chamber culture. Coprophilous Ascobolus were isolated from giraffe, impala, common zebra, African elephant dung, Cape buffalo, dikdik, hippopotamus, black rhinoceros and waterbuck dung. Six species, Ascobolus amoenus, A. bistisii, A. calesco, A. immersus, A. nairobiensis and A. tsavoensis are identified and described. Ascobolus calesco, A. amoenus and A. bistisii were the most common. Two new species, Ascobolus nairobiensis and A. tsavoensis are introduced in this paper. In addition, two others, Ascobolus bistisii and A. calesco are new records in Kenya and are described and illustrated. The diversity of coprophilous Ascobolus from wildlife dung in Kenya as deduced from this study is very high.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
