Most of the fungi sequenced were intertidal mangrove taxa and belong to members of 12 families in the Pleosporales: Aigialaceae, Didymellaceae, Leptosphaeriaceae, Lenthitheciaceae, Lophiostomataceae, Massarinaceae, Montagnulaceae, Morosphaeriaceae, Phaeosphaeriaceae, Pleosporaceae, Testudinaceae and Trematosphaeriaceae. Two new families are described: Aigialaceae and Morosphaeriaceae, and three new genera proposed: Halomassarina, Morosphaeria and Rimora.

Box 513, 5600 MB Eindhoven, The Netherlands *Correspondence: J.M. Miadlikowska, [email protected]; J.A.M.P. Houbraken, [email protected] Abstract: A culture-based survey of staining fungi on oil-treated timber after outdoor exposure in Australia and the Netherlands uncovered new taxa in Pezizomycotina. Their taxonomic novelty was confirmed by phylogenetic analyses of multi-locus sequences (ITS, nrSSU, nrLSU, mitSSU, RPB1, RPB2, and EF-1α) using multiple reference data sets. These previously unknown taxa are recognised as part of a new order (Superstratomycetales) potentially closely related to Trypetheliales (Dothideomycetes), and as a new species of Cyanodermella, C. oleoligni in Stictidaceae (Ostropales) part of the mostly lichenised class Lecanoromycetes. Within Superstratomycetales a single genus named Superstratomyces with three putative species: S. flavomucosus, S. atroviridis, and S. albomucosus are formally described. Monophyly of each circumscribed Superstratomyces species was highly supported and the intraspecific genetic variation was substantially lower than interspecific differences detected among species based on the ITS, nrLSU, and EF-1α loci. Ribosomal loci for all members of Superstratomyces were noticeably different from all fungal sequences available in GenBank.

Towards a phylogenetic clarification of Lophiostoma / Massarina and morphologically similar genera in the Pleosporales. Fungal Diversity 38: 225-251. Lophiostoma, Lophiotrema and Massarina are similar genera that are difficult to distinguish morphologically. In order to obtain a better understanding of these genera, lectotype material of the generic types, Lophiostoma macrostomum, Lophiotrema nucula and Massarina eburnea were examined and are re-described. The phylogeny of these genera is investigated based on the analysis of 26 Lophiostoma- and Massarina-like taxa and three genes – 18S, 28S rDNA and RPB2. These taxa formed five well-supported sub-clades in Pleosporales. This study confirms that both Lophiostoma and Massarina are polyphyletic. Massarina-like taxa can presently be differentiated into two groups – the Lentithecium group and the Massarina group.

Descriptions and illustrations of Helminthosporium velutinum and a new species H. aquaticum are provided. A combined phylogenetic tree, based on SSU, ITS and LSU sequence data, place the species in Massarinaceae, Pleosporales.

MycoKeys 65: 119–138. https://doi.org/10.3897/mycokeys.65.49769 Abstract Lignicolous freshwater fungi represent one of the largest groups of Ascomycota. This taxonomically highly diverse group plays an important role in nutrient and carbon cycling, biological diversity and ecosystem functioning. The diversity of lignicolous freshwater fungi along a north-south latitudinal gradient is cur- rently being studied in Asia.

  • The Genus Pseudodidymosphaeria
    Asian Journal of Mycology 1(1): 1–8 (2018) ISSN TBA www.asianjournalofmycology.org Article Doi 10.5943/ajom/1/1/1 Copyright © Mushroom Research Foundation The genus Pseudodidymosphaeria Thambugala KM1, Peršoh D2, Perera RH1 and Hyde KD1 1Center of Excellence in Fungal Research, Mae Fah Luang University, Chiang Rai 57100, Thailand 2Geobotany, Ruhr-Universität Bochum, Universitätsstraße 150, 44780 Bochum, Germany Thambugala KM, Peršoh D, Perera RH, Hyde KD 2018 – The genus Pseudodidymosphaeria. Asian Journal of Mycology 1(1), 1–8, Doi 10.5943/ajom/1/1/1 Abstract The genus Pseudodidymosphaeria is revisited with an overview of its history, a generic description with amendments and notes and illustrations of the genus. Molecular data from two species of the genus are analyzed using single and combined ITS and LSU gene datasets and the workflow of phylogenetic analysis is provided in an appendix. The genus Pseudodidymosphaeria formed a well-supported clade in the family Massarinaceae. Key words – ARB – ITS – LSU – Massarinaceae – Poaceae Introduction The family Massarinaceae was established to accommodate four genera, Keissleriella, Massarina, Metasphaeria, Pseudotrichia, and Trichometasphaeria (Munk 1956). Barr (1987) treated Massarinaceae as a synonym of Lophiostomataceae. However, these two families are now recognized as separate lineages in Pleosporales, Dothideomycetes (Zhang et al. 2012, Hyde et al. 2013, Thambugala et al. 2015b, Wijayawardene et al. 2018). During the past 60 years many genera were included or removed from Massarinaceae depending on the various taxonomic treatments and accessibility of sequence data (Zhang et al. 2012, Hyde et al. 2013, Wijayawardene et al. 2014, 2017, Tanaka et al. 2015, Thambugala et al.
