  • MYCOTAXON Vol
    MYCOTAXON Vol. XII, No. 1, pp. 137-167 October-December 1980 té ON THE FAMILY TUBEUFIACEAE (PLEOSPORALES) MARGARET E. BARR Department of BotanyUniversity of Massachusetts, Amherst, Massachusetts 01003 SUMMARY Ten genera are presently accepted in the family Tubeuf- iaceae. Those genera whose species are extralimital in distribution to temperate North America are considered briefly. Rebentischia and Tubeufia, with two and seven species respectively in temperate North America, are con­ sidered in more detail. Tubeufia is subdivided into the sections Tubeufia, Nectrioidea, Thaxteriella and Acantho- stigmina; new combinations are proposed for Tubeufia clintoniij T. pezizula, and T. scopula. INTRODUCTION The family Tubeufiaceae was erected recently (Barr, 1979) to accommodate a number of pleosporaceous fungi that are typically either hypersaprobic on other fungi or on substr­ ates previously colonized by other fungi or hyperparasitic on foliicolous fungi, or parasitic on scale insects, occas­ ionally parasitic on living leaves. The ovoid, globose, ellipsoid or cylindric ascomata of species in the family are soft and fleshy in consistency, range in pigmentation from none (hyaline) to yellowish, brownish or pinkish to dark vinaceous brown, but not red; surfaces may be smooth or ornamented by protruding cells, hyphal appendages, or setae. The bitunicate asci are clavate or cylindric and develop from the base of the locule in narrow cellular pseudopara­ physes. Ascospores are hyaline, yellowish, or light vinac­ eous brown, narrowly oblong or nearly ellipsoid, short to elongate fusoid, or cylindric, and one or more commonly several septate. The conidial states known for a number of the species are hyphomycetous; sympoduloconidia are typically helicosporous or staurosporous, but dictyosporous conidia are associated in some taxa.

Morphological studies of anamorphic taxa with helicospores (helicosporous fungi) were carried out based on observation of specimens collected in China and comparisons with descriptions in the literature. After examination of more than 300 freshly collected specimens and 100 herbarium specimens, we conclude that 71 species in 14 genera are presently known in mainland China, including 9 new species and 2 new combinations.

  • Fungi of Ding Darling Wildlife Refuge, Florida
    A Preliminary Report of the Microfungi of Ding Darling Wildlife Refuge (Sanibel Island, Florida), December 2010 Adrian Carter: Research Associate New Brunswick Museum; Volunteer Ding Darling Wildlife Refuge Introduction: The J. N. "Ding" Darling National Wildlife Refuge, administered by the US Fish and Wildlife Service, is located on the subtropical barrier island of Sanibel in the Gulf of Mexico, just west of Ft. Myers in Lee County, Florida. The refuge is part of the largest undeveloped mangrove ecosystem in the United States and is world famous for its spectacular migratory bird populations Long recognized as unique, numerous reports, surveys and checklists of the natural area have been generated. An excellent summary of the mangrove uplands and interior wetlands of Sanibel Island including Ding Darling can be found in John Clark's The Sanibel Report (Clark, 1976), now out of print but available through the internet. Since that time the area has developed into a tourist haven with the resulting impact of several thousand visitors per year. As recently as 2008 the US Fish and Wildlife Service initiated a comprehensive conservation plan and environmental assessment for Ding Darling announced in the Federal Register April 2, 2008 (Vol. 73, Number 64, pp. 17991-77912). While there is a great deal of interest in the area, a survey of the microfungi (Ascomycetes and their anamorphs) of the Ding Darling Wildlife Refuge has never been conducted. The current report is a preliminary attempt to address that gap. The information contained in the following report is useful not just from a biodiversity perspective, but can be used to address key initiatives in a conservation plan.

  • <I>Tubeufiaceae</I> from Andean Patagonian Forests of Argentina
    MYCOTAXON Volume 111, pp. 131–141 January–March 2010 New records in the Tubeufiaceae from Andean Patagonian forests of Argentina Romina M. Sánchez & M. Virginia Bianchinotti [email protected] & [email protected] Lab. Ficología y Micología, DBByF, Universidad Nacional del Sur. LEBBAH, CERZOS (CONICET), Edificio E1, Camino La Carrindanga, Km7, B8000FWB, Bahía Blanca, Argentina Abstract — Tubeufiaceae (Pleosporales, Ascomycota) occurring on native trees from the Andean Patagonian forests in Argentina are described and illustrated. Acanthostigma minutum and Tubeufia cerea with its anamorphic state are reported from South America for the first time on Nothofagus dombeyi and N. antarctica, respectively. Both species were up to now only known from the Northern Hemisphere. Key words — ascomycetes, Helicosporium, Nothofagaceae Introduction Barr (1979) erected the family Tubeufiaceae to accommodate several genera of Pleosporales that are saprobic on wood, hypersaprobic or hyperparasitic on other fungi, or parasitic on scale insects. The ascomata are small, pallid yellowish to brownish, globose, conic, ellipsoid or cylindrical. She included six genera in the family: the type genus Tubeufia, Letendraea Sacc., Melioliphila Speg., Podonectria Petch, Rebentischia P. Karst., and Thaxteriella Petr. Later, Barr (1980) added five more genera — Allonecte Syd., Boerlagiomyces Butzin, Byssocallis Syd., Paranectriella (Henn. ex Sacc. & D. Sacc.) Höhn., and Puttemansia Henn. — and synonymized Thaxteriella with Tubeufia. The classification of the Tubeufiaceae, mainly based on morphology, has been controversial. Eriksson (2005) placed this family as “Dothideomycetes et Chaetothyriomycetes incertae sedis”. Based on sequence analyses Kodsueb et al. (2006) considered the Tubeufiaceae a distinct monophyletic family that clusters within the Pleosporales as originally proposed by Barr (1980) and excluded Boerlagiomyces and Letendraea as phylogenetically unrelated.
