New evidence inferred from phylogenetic analyses of nuclear ribosomal DNA sequence data together with abroad taxon sampling at family level suggest that the fungus is amember of Extremaceaeand therefore its previous placement within the broadly defined Teratosphaeriaceae was not supported. Anew genus Castanedospora is introduced to accommodate this species on the basis of its distinct morphology and phylogenetic position distant from Sporidesmiaceae sensu stricto in Sordariomycetes. The holotype material from Cuba was found to be exhausted and the Florida specimen, which agrees well with the original description, is selected as epitype. The fungus produced considerably long cylindrical to narrowly obclavate conidia

MycoKeys 76: 1–16. https://doi.org/10.3897/mycokeys.76.58628 Abstract During the field studies, aTranslucidithyrium -like taxon was collected in Xishuangbanna of Yunnan Province, during an investigation into the diversity of microfungi in the southwest of China. Morpho- logical observations and phylogenetic analysis of combined LSU and ITS sequences revealed that the new taxon is a member of the genus Translucidithyrium and it is distinct from other species. Therefore, Translucidithyrium chinense sp. nov. is introduced here. The Maximum Clade Credibility (MCC) tree from LSU rDNA of Translucidithyrium and related species indicated the divergence time of existing and new species of Translucidithyrium was crown age at 16 (4–33) Mya. Combining the estimated diver- gence time, paleoecology and plate tectonic movements with the corresponding geological time scale, we proposed a hypothesis that the speciation (estimated divergence time) of T.

    Needle Fungi in Young Tasmanian Pinus Radiata Plantations in Relation to Elevation and Rainfall Istiana Prihatini1,2, Morag Glen1*, Timothy J

    Prihatini et al. New Zealand Journal of Forestry Science (2015) 45:25 DOI 10.1186/s40490-015-0055-6 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Needle fungi in young Tasmanian Pinus radiata plantations in relation to elevation and rainfall Istiana Prihatini1,2, Morag Glen1*, Timothy J. Wardlaw3, David A. Ratkowsky1 and Caroline L. Mohammed1 Abstract Background: Needle fungi in conifers have been extensively studied to explore their diversity, but environmental factors influencing the composition of fungal communities in Pinus radiata D.Don needles have received little attention. This study was conducted to examine the influence of the environment as defined by rainfall, elevation and temperature on the composition of fungal communities in pine needles at an age prior to that at which spring needle cast (SNC) is generally observed. Elucidating the entire fungal community in the needles is a first step towards understanding the cause of the disease. Methods: Needle samples were collected from 5-year-old P. radiata trees, their age predating the onset of SNC, from 12 plantations in Tasmania. Interpolated data for the climate variables, including seasonal components for rainfall and temperature, were obtained from an enhanced climate data bank. Pooled needle samples were examined for the fungi they contained using DNA sequencing of cloned polymerase chain reaction (PCR) products. Clones were grouped into operational taxonomic units (OTUs) and identified to their lowest possible taxonomic level by comparison with reference isolates and public DNA databases. Results: DNA sequencing revealed that needle fungal communities differed greatly, depending upon the total annual rainfall and needle age. Needle fungi that have been previously associated with pathogenic behaviour, such as Cyclaneusma minus, Dothistroma septosporum, Lophodermium pinastri, Strasseria geniculata and Sydowia polyspora, were all found in the needles in this study.

Yet they have been afforded little attention in Uruguay where these trees are an important resource for a growing pulp industry. The objective of this study was to identify species of Mycosphaerellaceae and Teratosphaeriaceae resulting from surveys in all major Eucalyptus growing areas of the country. Species identification was based on morphological characteristics and DNA sequence comparisons for the Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) region of the rDNA operon. A total of ten Mycosphaerellaceae and Teratosphaeriaceae were found associated with leaf spots and stem cankers on Eucalyptus. Of these, Mycosphaerella aurantia, M. heimii, M. lateralis, M. scytalidii, Pseudocercos- pora norchiensis, Teratosphaeria ohnowa and T. pluritubularis are newly recorded in Uruguay. This is also the first report of M. aurantia occurring outside of Australia, and the first record of P.

Introduction: Cladosporium Link (LINK 1816) is one of the largest genera of hyphomycetes, comprising more than 772 names, but also one of the most heterogeneous ones, which is not very surprising since all early circumscriptions and delimitations from similar genera were rather vague and imprecise (FRIES 1832, 1849; SACCARDO 1886; LINDAU 1907, etc.). All kinds of superficially similar cladosporioid fungi, i.e., amero- to phragmosporous dematiaceous hyphomycetes with conidia formed in acropetal chains, were assigned to Cladosporium s. lat., ranging from saprobes to plant pathogens as well as human-pathogenic taxa. DE VRIES (1952) and ELLIS (1971, 1976) maintained broad concepts of Cladosporium . ARX (1983), MORGAN - JONES & JACOBSEN (1988), MCKEMY & MORGAN -JONES (1990), MORGAN -JONES & MCKEMY (1990) and DAVID (1997) discussed the heterogeneity of Cladosporium and contributed towards a more natural circumscription of this genus.

Some species are frequently isolated contaminants, however, some species are pathogenic and toxigenic to humans. Cladosporium spp. are known to be the cause of cerebral and cutaneous phaehyphomycoses. In addition,Cladosporium spp . are strong aero-allergens and cause serious allergic diseases of the respiratory tract, as well as intrabronchial lesions. Identification ofCladosporium spp . as well as differentiation of species of this genus is possible only on the basis of morphologic and morphometric characteristics after standard procedure of cultivation and isolation of these strains in a laboratory for mycology. The procedure of isolation of these species is conducted in biologically safe cabinets, with obligatory taking all preventive measures. There is a few information in the literature about sensitivity of Cladosporium spp. to antimicotics. Key words: Cladosporium spp., opportunistic mycoses INTRODUCTION water pipes (7,8). Different species of plants are the food source to these fungi, so that Cladosporium spp. Phaeohyphomycosis is a fungal infection can be found on dead plants, wood plants, food, caused by fungi from the group dematicae straw, soil, colors, and textile. They contain more (pigmented moulds). The cause of this infection is than 10 antigens. alsoCladosporium spp. (1,2). Cladosporium spp. are pigmented moulds CLASSIFICATION (dematicae) widely distributed in the air as well as decayed organic matter, and very often they are food Cladosporium spp.

MycoKeys 49: 99–129. https://doi.org/10.3897/mycokeys.49.30886 Abstract Palms represent the most morphological diverse monocotyledonous plants and support a vast array of fungi. Recent examinations of palmicolous fungi in Thailand led to the discovery of a group of morpho- logically similar and interesting taxa.
