This article is the 14th in the Fungal Diversity Notes series, wherein we report 98 taxa distributed in two phyla, seven classes, 26 orders and 50 families which are described and illustrated. Taxa in this study were collected from Australia, Brazil, Burkina Faso, Chile, China, Cyprus, Egypt, France, French Guiana, India, Indonesia, Italy, Laos, Mexico, Russia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Vietnam. There are 59 new taxa, 39 new hosts and new geographical distributions with one new combination. The 59 new species comprise Angustimassarina kunmingense , Asterina lopi , Asterina brigadeirensis , Bartalinia bidenticola , Bartalinia caryotae , Buellia pruinocalcarea , Coltricia insularis , Colletotrichum flexuosum , Colletotrichum thasutense , Coniochaeta caraganae , Coniothyrium yuccicola , Dematipyriforma aquatic , Dematipyriforma globispora , Dematipyriforma nilotica , Distoseptispora bambusicola , Fulvifomes jawadhuvensis , Fulvifomes malaiyanurensis , Fulvifomes thiruvannamalaiensis , Fusarium purpurea , Gerronema atrovirens , Gerronema flavum , Gerronema keralense , Gerronema kuruvense , Grammothele taiwanensis , Hongkongmyces changchunensis , Hypoxylon inaequale , Kirschsteiniothelia acutisporum , Kirschsteiniothelia crustaceum , Kirschsteiniothelia extensum , Kirschsteiniothelia septemseptatum , Kirschsteiniothelia spatiosum , Lecanora immersocalcarea , Lepiota subthailandica , Lindgomyces guizhouensis , Marthe asmius pallidoaurantiacus , Marasmius tangerinus , Neovaginatispora mangiferae , Pararamichloridium aquisubtropicum , Pestalotiopsis piraubensis , Phacidium chinaum , ...

“…The genus comprises many saprophytes and endophytes, while few are plant pathogens, mainly causing diseases in graminaceous plants [ 2 , 4 , 13 , 14 , 15 ]. For example, P. circinata causes the blackening and rotting of wheat roots and stem bases (milo disease), and P. macrospinosa causes leaf necrosis in the pointed gourd (Cucurbitaceae) [ 16 , 17 ]. Gunasekaran et al [ 18 ] reported that P. atra causes human corneal ulcers.…”

Periconia is a polyphyletic and asexual morphic genus within the family Periconiaceae (Pleosporales). The genus is characterized by a pale to dark brown stipe with an apical conidial head and ellipsoidal to oblong conidia. Species of Periconia are widely distributed throughout the world in various hosts, while most species are isolated from graminaceous plants. During our investigations of microfungal in Sichuan Province, China, 26 Periconia isolates were collected from a wide variety of graminaceous plants. These isolates corresponded to 11 species based on the examination of morphology and multi-locus phylogenetic analysis (SSU, ITS, LSU, TEF1, RPB2). This includes six new species (P. chengduensis, P. cynodontis, P. festucae, P. imperatae, P. penniseti, and P. spodiopogonis) and five new records (P. byssoides, P. chimonanthi, P. cookie, P. pseudobyssoides, and P. verrucosa). A comprehensive description and illustrations of the new species are provided and discussed with comparable taxa. These discoveries expand our knowledge of the species diversity of Periconia taxa in graminaceous plants in China.

As a result of an ongoing research survey of microfungi in Yunnan, China, several saprobic ascomycetes were collected from various host substrates. Preliminary morphological analyses identified a few of these taxa as Periconia species. We obtained DNA sequence data of the Periconia species from pure cultures and investigated their phylogenetic affinities. Phylogenetic analyses of a combined LSU, ITS, SSU and tef1-α sequence dataset demonstrated that five isolates of Periconia formed well-resolved subclades within Periconiaceae. Accordingly, three new Periconia species are introduced viz. P. artemisiae, P. chimonanthi and P. thysanolaenae, and new host and geographical records of P. byssoides and P. pseudobyssoides, are also reported from dead branches of Prunus armeniaca and Scrophularia ningpoensis. Periconia celtidis formed a monophyletic clade with P. byssoides in the present phylogenetic analyses. Results of the pairwise homoplasy index (PHI) test indicated significant recombination between P. byssoides and P. celtidis. Therefore, P. celtidis has been synonymized under P. byssoides. In addition, we re-illustrated and studied the type specimen of the sexual genus Bambusistroma. As a type species of Bambusistroma, B. didymosporum features similar morphology to the sexual morph of Periconia homothallica and P. pseudodigitata. We therefore synonymize Bambusistroma under Periconia based on morphological and phylogenetic evidence. Furthermore, our new isolates produced brown conidia of asexual morph in agar media typical of the genus Noosia. Based on morphological comparison with Periconia in vitro and phylogenetic status of Noosia, we also treat Noosia as a synonym of Periconia. Detailed descriptions and illustrations of three novel taxa and two new records of Periconia byssoides and P. pseudobyssoides as well as the illustration of P. didymosporum comb. nov. are provided. An updated phylogenetic tree of Periconiaceae using maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference analyses is constructed. Generic circumscription of Periconia is amended.
