Thozetella (Hyphomycetes): An exercise in diversity

Two new species of Ramichloridium-like hyphomycetes from senescent leaves of Night-scented Lily (Alocasia odora) in Taiwan

“…Bars=10 µm; except for A=20 µm Ramichloridium bicellularipes is known only from culture and could not be detected on the assumed original substrate, the elephant ear leaf. The morphologies of Fungi Imperfecti can differ considerably, depending on whether they grow in vivo or in vitro (Sutton and Cole 1983). This is also evident in the closely related R. musae which in vivo forms much longer and more branched conidiophores (Ellis 1967) than in vitro (Hoog 1977Arzanlou et al 2007).…”

Preparation of Microfungi for Scanning Electron Microscopy

“…It is recognized, however, that some morphogenetic variations occur when such fungi are grown on artificial media (Nag Raj, 1981). Investigators interested in developmental aspects of pycnidial fungi, therefore, need to compare features of sporulation on both artificial and natural substrates (DiCosmo and Cole, 1980;Sutton and Cole, 1983). A similar situation confronts those concerned with morphogenesis of many fungal pathogens of animals.…”

A new aero-aquatic hyphomycete from Papua New Guinea and Australia

“…Various authors have questioned the weight to be given to different criteria in determining generic relationships in the Hyphomycetes and Coelomycetes, including Kendrick (1980), Sutton & Cole (1983) and Sutton & Alcorn (1984). Kendrick (1980) postulated that there are now too many genera of Hyphomycetes and that the characteristics used to define them are often inadequate, poorly defined or purely monothetic; sometimes these activities are justified by differences which, though small, are fundamental (e.g.…”
