“…Therefore, these three strains are identified as P. artemisiae in this study. Morphologically, P. artemisiae can be distinguished from P. alishanica by having wider and shorter conidiophores, with branched at the apex and smaller conidia [ 40 ]. Periconia alishanica was isolated from many host plants in Taiwan viz.…”

“…However, about 36 species previously placed in Periconia have been transferred to other genera in Dothideomycetes, Pezizomycetes, Sordariomycetes and Ascomycota genera incertae sedis as well as synonymized to other Periconia species [ 13 , 25 , 26 , 27 , 28 , 29 , 30 , 31 , 32 , 33 , 34 , 35 , 36 , 37 , 38 , 39 ]. To date, Periconia comprises 117 morphological species [ 39 ], of which only 24 species have so far been confirmed of phylogenetic affinities based on molecular data [ 2 , 40 ]. Species of Periconia are usually known as saprobes on a variety of plant substrates and have a wide distribution across temperate and tropical regions [ 3 , 24 , 41 ].…”

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.

“…They are used in health care or treatment of human ailments and have been used since prehistoric times worldwide (Rasool-Hassan 2012). Many fungi have been found on medicinal plants and are members of Dothideomycetes and Sordariomycetes (Bhagat et al 2012;Long et al 2019;Ma et al 2019;Hyde et al 2020;Tennakoon et al 2021). They form important associations with medicinal plants and as pathogens or saprobes (Long et al 2019;Tennakoon et al 2021), sources of medicines (Strobel et al 1993;Huang et al 2008;Hyde et al 2019), involved in nutrient recycling (Bonnardeaux et al 2007) and some are used in biological control (Hyde et al 2019).…”

Pleocatenata, a new genus, is introduced with its type species, Pleocatenata chiangraiensis, which was isolated from withered twigs of two medicinal plants, Clerodendrum quadriloculare (Blanco) Merr (Verbenaceae) and Tarenna stellulata (Hook.f.) Ridl (Rubiaceae) in northern Thailand. The genus is characterized by mononematous, septate, brown or dark brown conidiophores, monotretic conidiogenous cells and catenate, obclavate, olivaceous to blackish brown conidia. Phylogenetic analysis of combined LSU, SSU, tef1-α, rpb2 and ITS sequence data showed Pleocatenata forms a distinct phylogenetic lineage in Pleosporales, Dothideomycetes. Therefore, we treat Pleocatenata as Pleosporales genera incertae sedis based on morphology and phylogenetic analyses. Descriptions and illustrations of the new taxa are provided, and it is compared with morphologically similar genera.
