Colletotrichum: complex species or species complexes? edited by Ulrike Damm CBS-KNAW Fungal Biodiversity Centre, Uppsalalaan 8, 3584 CT Utrecht, The Netherlands Paul F. Cannon CABI Europe-UK, Bakeham Lane, Egham, Surrey TW20 9TY, UK and Royal Botanic Gardens, Kew, Richmond TW9 3AB, UK Pedro W. Crous CBS-KNAW Fungal Biodiversity Centre, Uppsalalaan 8, 3584 CT Utrecht, The Netherlands CBS-KNAW Fungal Biodiversity Centre, Utrecht, The Netherlands An institute of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences DEDICATION This volume is dedicated to Brian C. Sutton, fungal systematist non plus ultra and Chief Mycologist at the International Mycological Institute (IMI) until his retirement in 1995. After arrival at IMI straight from university in 1959, Brian was faced with the choice of specialising in rusts or coelomycetes (fungi forming conidia within fruit-bodies). His courageous decision to work with the then almost unknown coelomycete group paved the way for a long and diverse career. Many of the fungi he worked with are minute and require patient and meticulous analytical microscopy. Brian’s ability to see almost invisible details of conidiomatal anatomy, conidiogenesis and conidium morphology, and to translate these observations into detailed descriptions and beautiful line drawings, made him one of the most celebrated fungal systematists of the pre-molecular era. He has a voluminous publication record, and his 1980 monograph “The Coelomycetes – Fungi imperfecti with pycnidia, acervuli and stromata” is still the basic standard morphological reference work for this group of fungi. The diversity of his output can be judged by the list of 990 fungal names he authored or co-authored. Some of these were imaginatively named, including the genera Satchmopsis (in honour of his jazz hero Louis Armstrong) and Omega (the final taxon published inTransactions of the British Mycological Society, of which he was Senior Editor between 1977 and 1988). Brian was always generous with his time in support of fellow mycologists and students from all over the globe, who sent him numerous collections of “troublesome” coelomycetes. On many occasions, these initial requests for help led on to mentoring of the developing scientific careers of his correspondents, and to continuing collaborations in fungal systematics. Brian’s involvement with Colletotrichum began with a paper on C. dematium and C. trichellum in 1962, and developed as the subject for his PhD thesis which focused on the morphology and ontogeny of species associated with grasses. His were the first scientific contributions that established the importance of appressorium morphology in Colletotrichum systematics. After studies of conidial fungi in almost all the branches and bywaters of the Ascomycota, his second major contribution was to provide a user-friendly guide to Colletotrichum in the 1980 Coelomycetes monograph, which built on von Arx’s work to provide a framework for morphology-based identification that still has value today. This was followed by a further systematic account in 1992, which increased the number of accepted species to 39. Brian retired shortly before the fungal molecular phylogenetic revolution gained pace. Although the classification he developed inThe Coelomycetes was unavoidably artificial, it continues to play a major role in ground-truthing of the results of new phylogenetic research, Brian Sutton working in his office (1992), in the final days of the International through integration with recent studies that add molecular data to Mycological Institute at Kew (photo by David Minter). Brian’s original morphological observations. Other than his love for fungi, Brian’s love for jazz music is well known among his mycological colleagues. Our decision to dedicate this volume to him comes with the expectation that he will be paging through it with something soothing playing in the background. Although the backbone of Colletotrichum systematics remains unaltered more than thirty years after The Coelomycetes was published, we hope that recognition of the cryptic lineages within the species complexes included in this volume goes some way towards explanation of their extraordinary variation. “And it feels like rain “ing species” – Buddy Guy The Editors September 2012 CONTENTS U.
