“…Owing to distinct morphology and genetic stability recognition of synonyms in Myrmaecium is much easier than in Valsaria , and 19 epithets of Valsaria have been relegated to Myrmaecium by Ju et al (1996) under V. rubricosa and V. fulvopruinata . Many epithets of Valsaria have been recognized as synonyms of other fungi, most notably Pseudovalsaria (Spooner 1986; Untereiner et al 2013), Endoxylina (Ju et al 1996; Untereiner et al 2013) or Rousso7#x00EB;lla (Ju et al 1996), and several other pyrenomycetous genera. Ju et al (1996) studied all type specimens and other herbarium material available to them and synonymized numerous names with V. insitiva .…”

“…Whether or not this fungus, which is only known from the type specimen collected on Agave in Mexico and has striate ascospores, is a member of Valsariaceae remains to be assessed. Spooner (1986) combined Pseudothyridaria insitiva Petr. in Valsaria .…”

“…This fungus, described from Aesculus , has to be recollected for determination of DNA data. Spooner (1986) also recognized that V. foedans does not belong to Valsaria and described the new genus Pseudovalsaria for it, a genus of the Boliniales; see Untereiner et al (2013) for a recent treatment, phylogenetic placement and synonyms. Kale (1970) summarized Valsaria in India.…”

More than 100 recent collections of mostly from Europe were used to elucidate the species composition within the genus. Multigene phylogeny based on SSU, LSU, ITS, and sequences revealed a monophyletic group of ten species within the, belonging to three morphologically similar genera. This group could not be accommodated in any known family and are thus classified in the new family and the new order The genus comprises, ,, , sp. nov. and sp. nov., which are phylogenetically well-defined, but morphologically nearly indistinguishable species. The new monotypic genus is introduced to accommodate and are combined in , a genus traditionally treated as a synonym of, which comprises three species, with as its generic type. This work is presented as a basis for additional species to be detected in future.

“…Valsaria type (HdV-263) or a different species within the Dothideomycetes class is well represented in zone 1a, although the genus Valsaria seems to be rare in Scotland today with only an unconfirmed presence recorded in western Scotland (NBNatlas, 2021). In terms of ecology, Pseudovalsaria has been recorded on Alnus wood (Spooner, 1986) whilst Van Geel et al (2003) describes Valsaria variospora (HdV-140) as often found under eutrophic wet conditions. Valsaria type in this record appears to show some association with the aquatic NPP group and was perhaps growing on rotting plant remains caused by the waterlogged conditions of the mire.…”

Settlement, landscape and land-use change at a Pictish Elite Centre: Assessing the palaeoecological record for economic continuity and social change at Rhynie in NE Scotland

et al. 2021

The first millennium AD was a transformative period when many of the medieval kingdoms of Europe began to take shape, but despite recent advances in palaeoecological and archaeological research there remains a shortage of interdisciplinary collaborative research targeting this period. For some regions we know relatively little about the societies who lived during this formative period. This current investigation focusses on an early medieval elite centre near to Rhynie in NE Scotland; an important power-centre during the fourth–seventh centuries AD as evidenced by a remarkable series of Class I Pictish symbol stones, fortified enclosures at Cairn more, Tap o’ Noth and the Craw-Stane, as well as high status metal-working and a range of continental imports from the Craw-Stane enclosure. However, by the end of the seventh century AD, elite focus appears to have shifted elsewhere with the Craw-Stane and Cairn More enclosures all being abandoned. By combining paleoenvironmental analysis with available historical and archaeological archives this paper provides new insights into societal change during the first Millennium AD, with focus on the economic, social and environmental impacts caused by the rise and subsequent abandonment of elite nodes of power. A calibrated age of AD 260–415, near the base of the core, coincides with the earliest dates for the Craw-Stane complex and pre-dates the construction of the nearby Cairn More enclosure. The results provide a rare snapshot of the Late Roman Iron Age to Medieval environment of Northeast Scotland. This centre appears to have been supported by a rich agricultural landscape, with evidence of pastoral and arable farming, and potential metal working. One of the most significant findings of this study has revealed that despite abandonment of these elite enclosed sites by the seventh century AD, people continued to utilise the surrounding landscape and available resources right through until modern times.

“…Kuntze, as a known pathogen species in this genus causes charcoal canker disease on Quercus L. species worldwide (Henriques et al., 2012; Henriques et al., 2016; Jurc & Ogris, 2006; Mirabolfathy, 2013; Mirabolfathy et al., 2011; Vannini et al., 1996; Vannini & Scarascia Mugnozza, 1991). This fungus has also been isolated and reported from other forest and ornamental tree genera such as Castanea L. (Spooner, 1986), Acer L., Eucalyptus L'Hér., Fagus L., Lithocarpus L., (Ju et al., 1998), Carpinus L. , Corylus L. (Fournier & Magni, 2004) and Fraxinus L. (Ragazzi et al., 2012). Biscogniauxia mediterranea has been already reported before in Iran on Quercus castaneifolia C.A.Mey.…”

In order to study fungal trunk pathogens on some forest trees, a survey was conducted from various forest areas in Guilan Province (in the north of Iran) between October 2012 and May 2015. Samples were collected from branches of diseased trees, and fungal isolations were made from necrotic wood tissues on malt extract agar (MEA) supplemented with 100 mg/L streptomycin sulphate. Fungal isolations from infected branches of forest trees yielded 53 hyphomycetous fungal isolates. All 31 strains isolated from Common medlar (Mespilus germanica) and Persian iron wood (Parrotia persica) exhibited a Phialophora‐like anamorph and were identified as Jattea algeriensis based on morphological characters and phylogenetic analysis. All 22 strains isolated from necrotic tissues of Small‐flowered black hawthorn (Crataegus pentagyna) formed a Nodulisporium‐like anamorph and are identified as Biscogniauxia mediterranea on the basis of morphological characters and DNA sequence data. Pathogenicity tests showed that both species are pathogenic on M. germanica, P. persica wood and Small‐flowered black hawthorn shoots and B. mediterranea proved to be the most aggressive than J. algeriensis. This study is the first report of J. algeriensis on M. germanica and P. persica and also B. mediterranea on C. pentagyna in the world. In addition, J. algeriensis has not previously been reported from Iran and our work also provides the first record of this species in this country.
