“…Lophiostoma mangrovei ), and is characterized by its erumpent ascomata with elongated flat tops, cellular pseudoparaphyses and cylindrical asci (Suetrong et al 2009 ). Ascospores are fusoid, hyaline, 3-septate and surrounded with an evanescent sheath (Kohlmeyer and Vittal 1986 ; Suetrong et al 2009 ). Rimora forms a robust clade with other marine fungi, such as species of Aigialus and Ascocratera , and a new family, Aigialaceae was introduced to accommodate them (Suetrong et al 2009 ).…”

One hundred and five generic types of Pleosporales are described and illustrated. A brief introduction and detailed history with short notes on morphology, molecular phylogeny as well as a general conclusion of each genus are provided. For those genera where the type or a representative specimen is unavailable, a brief note is given. Altogether 174 genera of Pleosporales are treated. Phaeotrichaceae as well as Krie-geriella, Zeuctomorpha and Muroia are excluded from Pleosporales. Based on the multigene phylogenetic analysis, the suborder Massarineae is emended to accommodate five families, viz. Lentitheciaceae, Massarinaceae, Montagnulaceae, Morosphaeriaceae and Trematosphaeriaceae.

Lophiostoma and Lophiotrema share several morphological and ecological features. They have been regarded as closely related genera within the family Lophiostomataceae, but their morphological circumscriptions have been uncertain. To clarify the generic definitions of Lophiostoma and Lophiotrema, we conducted phylogenetic analyses of 29 isolates of these genera based on the SSU and LSU nrDNA sequences, and also reevaluated several key characters previously used for their generic characterization. Our results clearly confirmed that Lophiostoma and Lophiotrema are distinct genera belonging to different families; the ascus shape, including length of the ascus stipe, is a reliable taxonomic indicator to allow discrimination between the genera. In Lophiostoma species, asci are clavate with relatively long stipes [mostly (10-) 15-30 lm in length], whereas in Lophiotrema the asci are cylindrical with short stipes (up to 15 lm long). A new family, Lophiotremataceae, is proposed to accommodate species in the Lophiotrema clade that was distantly placed from the Lophiostomataceae within the Pleosporales. Lophiostoma quadrisporum, collected from twigs of Liriodendron tulipifera, is described as a new species with distinctive 4-spored asci. Lophiotrema vitigenum, which has clavate asci with long stipes, is transferred to Lophiostoma.

“…Only a few systematic ecological studies have been carried out (Hyde & Jones, 1988 ;Kohlmeyer, 1969 ;Tan & Leong, 1989) . Moreover, these studies were mostly limited to fungi on bark and decorticated wood, roots, pneumatophores (Kohlmeyer & Vittal, 1986 ;Hyde et al, 1986 ;Hyde & Jones, 1988), and on leaves either partially immersed or totally submerged in high salinity areas (Anastasiou & Churchland, 1969 ;Fell & Master, 1973Newell, 1976) . Little is known of the fungi colonizing herbaceous mangrove plants or their associates (e .g .…”

Observations on vertical distribution of fungi associated with standing senescent Acanthus ilicifolius stems at Mai Po Mangrove, Hong Kong

The present study was carried out to investigate the higher fungi colonizing the herbaceous mangrove associate Acanthus ilicifolius . This paper reports part of an investigation to determine if there is vertical distribution of fungi on the standing plant .The Mai Po Mangrove, Hong Kong is estuarine with great variations in salinity mainly due to the influence of the Pearl River. Senescent and dead stems of standing Acanthus ilicifolius were collected from mangroves in Mai Po from April to December 1992 . The maximum tidal range observed was 2 .6 m . A stratified sampling strategy was employed to assess the vertical distribution on the standing plant . A total of 44 fungi were collected : 32 Deuteromycotina, 11 Ascomycotina and 1 Basidiomycotina . Very frequent species were Acremonium sp .(55%), Colletotrichum gloeosporioides cf.(42 .5%), Phoma sp . (42 .5%) Fusarium sp .,(25%), Tubercularia sp . (24 .2%) and Phialophora s p . c f. (19 .2%) . Agerita sp ., Corynespora cassiicola, Stachybotrys chartarum, Trichoderma sp. and D82 were frequent, while the remaining species were recorded at less than 10% . Vertical zonation of fungi colonizing the standing stems was observed . The apical portions were colonized by typical terrestrial fungi and the basal portions by marine species . This can be attributed to both the nature of the substratum and the degree of exposure due to tidal inundation . 119
