Recommendations are made for which of the competing generic names should be used based nomenclature on criteria such as priority, number of potential names changes, and frequency of use. Some recommendations for well- pleomorphic fungi known genera include Arthrinium over Apiospora, Colletotrichum over Glomerella, Menispora over Zignoëlla, Microdochium protected lists over Monographella, Nigrospora over Khuskia, and Plectosphaerella over Plectosporium. All competing generic names taxonomy are listed in a table of recommended names along with the required action. If priority is not accorded to sexually typified generic names after 2017, only four names would require formal protection: Chaetosphaerella over Oedemium, Diatrype over Libertella, Microdochium over Monographella, and Phaeoacremonium over Romellia and Togninia. Concerning species in the recommended genera, one replacement name (Xylaria benjaminii nom. nov.) is introduced, and the following new combinations are made: Arthrinium sinense, Chloridium caesium, C. chloroconium, C. gonytrichii, Corollospora marina, C. parvula, C. ramulosa, Juncigena fruticosae, Melanospora simplex, Seimatosporium massarina, Sporoschisma daemonoropis, S. taitense, Torpedospora mangrovei, Xylaria penicilliopsis, and X. termiticola combs. nov.

Togniniales, Torpedosporales, and Xylariales. ARTICLE Based on the obsolete version of Article 59 of the outdated International Code of Botanical Nomenclature (McNeill et al. 2006), these morphs had previously been described in RECOMMENDATIONS FOR GENERIC NAMES different genera resulting in more than one scientific name for a single fungal species. With the change to the International (A) = a name typified by an asexual morph, and (S) = a name Code of Nomenclature for algae, fungi, and plants (ICN; typified by a sexual morph. McNeill et al. 2012), two or more names for different morphs of the same species are no longer allowed. Although determining Amphisphaeriales which name to use generally follows the principle of priority of publication at the family, generic and species level, Use Dyrithiopsis L. Cai et al. 2003 (S) rather exceptions to this principle are allowed, especially in the case than Monochaetiopsis L. Cai et al. 2003 (A) of economically important and widely used taxa.

Mycosphere 10(1), 757–775, Doi 10.5943/mycosphere/10/1/17 Abstract A new hyphomycete genus, Pleopunctum, is introduced to accommodate two new species, P. ellipsoideum sp. nov. (type species) and P. pseudoellipsoideum sp. nov., collected from decaying wood in Guizhou Province, China. The genus is characterized by macronematous, mononematous conidiophores, monoblastic conidiogenous cells and muriform, oval to ellipsoidal conidia often with a hyaline, elliptical to globose basal cell. Phylogenetic analyses of combined LSU, SSU, ITS and TEF1α sequence data of 55 taxa were carried out to infer their phylogenetic relationships. The new taxa formed a well-supported subclade in the family Phaeoseptaceae and basal to Lignosphaeria and Thyridaria macrostomoides.

    Chaetomium convolutum and C. hexagonosporum from Italy with a morphological revision of the group-bostrychodes Francesco DOVERI Abstract: Chaetomium convolutum, newly isolated from herbivore dung in a survey of coprophilous asco- mycetes and basidiomycetes, is first described from Italy and compared with other species of the so called “group-bostrychodes”. The taxonomic uncertainty, still present in this group despite a recent comparative, morphological and molecular study, led the author to revise all Italian collections of species related to C. convolutum, and to prove that also the very rare C. hexagonosporum is present in Italy. The morphological Ascomycete.org, 8 (5) : 185-198. features of C. hexagonosporum are described in detail and particularly compared with those of C. convolutum. Novembre 2016 The results of this review confirm the existence of several intermediates in the group-bostrychodes, for which Mise en ligne le 3/11/2016 a much more extended revision is hoped. Keywords: cellulose, Chaetomiun bostrychodes, Chaetomium robustum, coprophilous fungi, morphological study. Riassunto: Chaetomium convolutum, isolato recentemente da escrementi di erbivori in un’ indagine sugli ascomiceti e basidiomiceti coprofili, è descritto per la prima volta in Italia e messo a confronto con altre specie del cosiddetto "gruppo-bostrychodes". L'incertezza tassonomica, ancora presente in questo gruppo nonostante un recente studio comparativo, morfologico e molecolare, ha indotto l'autore a rivedere tutte le raccolte italiane correlate a C. convolutum, e a dimostrare che anche il molto raro C. hexagonosporum è presente in Italia. Le caratteristiche morfologiche di C. hexagonosporum sono dettagliatamente descritte e in modo particolare confrontate con quelle di C. convolutum.

New record of Chaetomium species isolated from soil under pineapple plantation in Thailand. Journal of Agricultural Technology 4(2): 91-103. Chaetomium species were isolated from soil in pineapple plantations in Phatthalung and Rayong provinces by soil plate and baiting techniques. Taxonomic study was based on available dichotomously keys and monograph of the genus. Five species are recorded as follows: C. aureum, C. bostrychodes, C. cochliodes, C. cupreum and C. gracile. Another four species are reported to be new records in Thailand as follows: C. carinthiacum, C. flavigenum, C. perlucidum and C. succineum. Key words: Chaetomium, Taxonomic study Introduction Chaetomium is a fungus belonging to Ascomycota of the family Chaetomiaceae which established by Kunze in 1817 (von Arx et al., 1986). Chaetomium Kunze is one of the largest genera of saprophytic ascomycetes which comprise more than 300 species worldwide (von Arx et al., 1986; Soytong and Quimio, 1989; Decock and Hennebert, 1997; Udagawa et al., 1997; Rodríguez et al., 2002).

Abstract: The new genus Morinagamyces is introduced herein to accommodate the fungus Apiosordaria vermicularis as inferred from a phylogenetic study based on sequences of the internal transcribed spacer region (ITS), the nuclear rDNA large subunit (LSU), and partial fragments of ribosomal polymerase II subunit 2 (rpb2) and β-tubulin (tub2) genes. Morinagamyces vermicularis was analyzed for the production of secondary metabolites, resulting in the isolation of a new depsipeptide named morinagadepsin (1), and the already known chaetone B (3). While the planar structure of 1 was elucidated by extensive 1D- and 2D-NMR analysis and high-resolution mass spectrometry, the absolute configuration of the building blocks Ala, Val, and Leu was determined as -L by Marfey’s method. The configuration of the 3-hydroxy-2-methyldecanyl unit was assigned as 22R,23R by Citation: Harms, K.; Surup, F.; Stadler, M.; Stchigel, A.M.; J-based configuration analysis and Mosher’s method after partial hydrolysis of the morinagadepsin Marin-Felix, Y.

  • 9B Taxonomy to Genus
    Fungus and Lichen Genera in the NEMF Database Taxonomic hierarchy: phyllum > class (-etes) > order (-ales) > family (-ceae) > genus. Total number of genera in the database: 526 Anamorphic fungi (see p. 4), which are disseminated by propagules not formed from cells where meiosis has occurred, are presently not grouped by class, order, etc. Most propagules can be referred to as "conidia," but some are derived from unspecialized vegetative mycelium. A significant number are correlated with fungal states that produce spores derived from cells where meiosis has, or is assumed to have, occurred. These are, where known, members of the ascomycetes or basidiomycetes. However, in many cases, they are still undescribed, unrecognized or poorly known. (Explanation paraphrased from "Dictionary of the Fungi, 9th Edition.") Principal authority for this taxonomy is the Dictionary of the Fungi and its online database, www.indexfungorum.org.

Seifert2 1Department of Taxonomy, Institute of Botany of the Academy of Sciences, CZ – 252 43, Průhonice, Czech Republic; 2Biodiversity (Mycology and Botany), Agriculture and Agri- Food Canada, Ottawa, Ontario, K1A 0C6, Canada *Correspondence: Martina Réblová, [email protected] Abstract: Sterigmatobotrys macrocarpa is a conspicuous, lignicolous, dematiaceous hyphomycete with macronematous, penicillate conidiophores with branches or metulae arising from the apex of the stipe, terminating with cylindrical, elongated conidiogenous cells producing conidia in a holoblastic manner. The discovery of its teleomorph is documented here based on perithecial ascomata associated with fertile conidiophores of S. macrocarpa on a specimen collected in the Czech Republic; an identical anamorph developed from ascospores isolated in axenic culture. The teleomorph is morphologically similar to species of the genera Carpoligna and Chaetosphaeria, especially in its nonstromatic perithecia, hyaline, cylindrical to fusiform ascospores, unitunicate asci with a distinct apical annulus, and tapering paraphyses. Identical perithecia were later observed on a herbarium specimen of S. macrocarpa originating in New Zealand. Sterigmatobotrys includes two species, S. macrocarpa, a taxonomic synonym of the type species, S. elata, and S. uniseptata. Because no teleomorph was described in the protologue of Sterigmatobotrys, we apply Article 59.7 of the International Code of Botanical Nomenclature. We epitypify (teleotypify) both Sterigmatobotrys elata and S. macrocarpa to give the genus holomorphic status, and the name S.

  • Amplistroma Gen. Nov. and Its Relation to Wallrothiella, Two Genera with Globose Ascospores and Acrodontium-Like Anamorphs
    Mycologia, 101(6), 2009, pp. 904–919. DOI: 10.3852/08-213 # 2009 by The Mycological Society of America, Lawrence, KS 66044-8897 Amplistroma gen. nov. and its relation to Wallrothiella, two genera with globose ascospores and acrodontium-like anamorphs Sabine M. Huhndorf1 INTRODUCTION Botany Department, Field Museum of Natural History, Chicago, Illinois 60605-2496 Genus Wallrothiella Sacc. recently has been rede- scribed and the type species, W. congregata (Wallr.) Andrew N. Miller Sacc., was neotypified based on collections from Illinois Natural History Survey, University of Illinois at France and Ukraine (Re´blova´ and Seifert 2004). Urbana-Champaign, Champaign, Illinois 61820-6970 The genus is distinct in its globose, long-necked Matthew Greif ascomata, its wide, long, tapering paraphyses and its Botany Department, Field Museum of Natural History, cylindrical, stipitate asci with eight, small, globose Chicago, Illinois 60605-2496 ascospores. Surveys of wood-inhabiting Sordariomy- cetes in Puerto Rico and Great Smoky Mountains Gary J. Samuels National Park in the eastern United States uncovered USDA-ARS, Systematic Mycology & Microbiology several specimens that match the description of W. Laboratory, Room 304, B-011A, 10300 Baltimore Avenue, Beltsville, Maryland 20705-2350 congregata, and a collection from Puerto Rico was obtained in culture. A few years earlier several specimens that shared key characteristics of W. Abstract: Amplistroma is described as a new genus congregata were conveyed to us. These specimens for A. carolinianum, A. diminutisporum, A. guianense, have the same distinctive eight, globose-spored asci A. hallingii, A. ravum, A. tartareum and A. xylar- and wide paraphyses that are long and tapering above ioides.SpeciesofAmplistroma are distinguished by the asci.
