New and Interesting Fungi. 3

Abstract

Seven new genera, 26 new species, 10 new combinations, two epitypes, one new name, and 20 interesting new host and / or geographical records are introduced in this study. New genera are: Italiofungus (based on Italiofungus phillyreae) on leaves of Phillyrea latifolia (Italy); Neolamproconium (based on Neolamproconium silvestre) on branch of Tilia sp. (Ukraine); Neosorocybe (based on Neosorocybe pini) on trunk of Pinus sylvestris (Ukraine); Nothoseptoria (based on Nothoseptoria caraganae) on leaves of Caragana arborescens (Russia); Pruniphilomyces (based on Pruniphilomyces circumscissus) on Prunus cerasus (Russia); Vesiculozygosporium (based on Vesiculozygosporium echinosporum) on leaves of Muntingia calabura (Malaysia); Longiseptatispora (based on Longiseptatispora curvata) on leaves of Lonicera tatarica (Russia). New species are: Barrmaelia serenoae on leaf of Serenoa repens (USA); Chaetopsina gautengina on leaves of unidentified grass (South Africa); Chloridium pini on fallen trunk of Pinus sylvestris (Ukraine); Cadophora fallopiae on stems of Reynoutria sachalinensis (Poland); Coleophoma eucalyptigena on leaf litter of Eucalyptus sp. (Spain); Cylindrium corymbiae on leaves of Corymbia maculata (Australia); Diaporthe tarchonanthi on leaves of Tarchonanthus littoralis (South Africa); Elsinoe eucalyptorum on leaves of Eucalyptus propinqua (Australia); Exophiala quercina on dead wood of Quercus sp., (Germany); Fusarium californicum on cambium of budwood of Prunus dulcis (USA); Hypomyces gamsii on wood of Alnus glutinosa (Ukraine); Kalmusia araucariae on leaves of Araucaria bidwillii (USA); Lectera sambuci on leaves of Sambucus nigra (Russia); Melanomma populicola on fallen twig of Populus canadensis (Netherlands), Neocladosporium syringae on branches of Syringa vulgarishorus (Ukraine); Paraconiothyrium iridis on leaves of Iris pseudacorus (Ukraine); Pararoussoella quercina on branch of Quercus robur (Ukraine); Phialemonium pulveris from bore dust of deathwatch beetle (France); Polyscytalum pinicola on needles of Pinus tecunumanii (Malaysia); Acervuloseptoria fraxini on Fraxinus pennsylvanica (Russia); Roussoella arundinacea on culms of Arundo donax (Spain); Sphaerulina neoaceris on leaves of Acer negundo (Russia); Sphaerulina salicicola on leaves of Salix fragilis (Russia); Trichomerium syzygii on leaves of Syzygium cordatum (South Africa); Uzbekistanica vitis-viniferae on dead stem of Vitis vinifera (Ukraine); Vermiculariopsiella eucalyptigena on leaves of Eucalyptus sp. (Australia).

The Evolution of Life Modes in Stictidaceae, with Three Novel Taxa

“…The classification of the family Stictidaceae has changed over time [ 1 , 14 , 15 , 23 , 33 , 52 , 53 , 62 , 63 , 64 , 65 , 66 ]. Its detailed taxonomy was first studied by Sherwood, focusing on excipular structure, ascospore type, and biology [ 33 , 53 ].…”

“…Presently, Stictidaceae comprises 33 genera: Absconditella , Acarosporina , Biostictis , Carestiella , Conotremopsis , Cryptodiscus , Cyanodermella , Delpontia , Dendroseptoria , Eriospora , Fitzroyomyces , Geisleria , Glomerobolus , Hormodochis , Ingvariella , Karstenia , Lillicoa , Nanostictis , Neostictis , Neofitzroyomyces , Ostropa , Ostropomyces , Phacidiella , Propoliopsis , Robergea , Schizoxylon , Sphaeropezia , Stictis , Stictophacidium , Thelopsis , Topelia , Trinathotrema , and Xyloschistes [ 1 , 14 , 15 , 64 ]. Generic classification in the family is challenging, given that the convergent evolution of ascoma types is frequent [ 19 ] and both apothecoid and perithecoid ascomata have evolved several times in separate lineages [ 33 , 73 ].…”

Morphological and molecular identification of Diaporthe species in south-western China, with description of eight new species

“…As for phylogenetic analysis for Diaporthe species, the use of a five-locus dataset ( ITS - TUB - TEF - CAL - HIS ) is the optimal combination for species delimitation as revealed by Santos et al (2017) . Thus, in recent years, many Diaporthe species have been described based on a polyphasic approach combined with morphological characterization and their host associations ( Guarnaccia and Crous 2017 ; Gao et al 2017 ; Yang et al 2018 , 2020 ; Crous et al 2020 ; Dayarathne et al 2020 ; Guo et al 2020 ; Hyde et al 2020 ; Li et al 2020 ; Zapata et al 2020 ).…”

Fungal Planet description sheets: 1042–1111

“…Notes — Coleophoma includes species that are plant pathogenic or saprobic, occurring on a wide range of plant hosts ( Crous et al 2019b , 2020b ). The genus was revised by Crous & Groenewald (2016) , and shown to reside in the Dermateaceae ( Leotiomycetes ), with morphologically similar taxa also clustering in Dothideomycetes .…”
