In this study, several Rhytidhysteron collections were made in northern Thailand and multi-gene phylogenetic analyses were used to resolve the phylogenetic boundaries of species. Two novel species, R. thailandicum and R. neorufulum are introduced, based on morphological traits and multi-gene phylogeny. The genus is revised with a key to species. +\VWHULDOHV3K\ORJHQ\QHZVSHFLHVPXOWLJHQHSK\ORJHQ\7KDLODQG ,1752'8&7,21 Hysteriaceous fungi are primarily lignicolous or corticolous and are saprobes on wide host range in temperate and tropical regions (Boehm et al., 2009a, b; Murillo et al., 2009; Hyde et al., 2013; de Almeida et al/LXet al., 2015; Yacharoen et al., 2015). The family Hysteriaceae was introduced by Chevallier (1826) as “Hysterineae” and this family has been treated with different genera by various authors (Zogg 1962; von Arx & Müller 1975; Kirk et al., 2001; Eriksson /XPEVFKDQG+XKQGRUI 5HFHQWPROHFXODUSK\ORJHQHWLFDQDO\VHVSODFHG Hysteriaceae in Hysteriales, Pleosporomycetidae (Boehm et al., 2009a, b; Hyde et al., 2013; Wijayawardene et al., 2014).

Rhytidhysteron was introduced by Spegazzini (1881) to accommodate R. brasiliense Speg. and R. viride Speg., without a type species being designated. Subsequently, Clements & Shear (1931) designated R. brasiliense as the type species (Samuels & Müller 1979; Yacharoen et al /DWHUVHYHUDOVSHFLHVZHUHDGGHG to the genus based on morphology (Spegazzini 1921; Sharma & Rawla 1985; Barr 1990; Magnes 1997) and currently there are 17 epithets listed in Index Fungorum 9DULRXVDXWKRUVKDYHFODVVL¿HGRhytidhysteron within the family Patellariaceae %DUU.XWRUJD +DZNVZRUWK(ULNVVRQ/XPEVFKDQG+XKQGRUI 2010). However, recent multi-gene phylogenetic studies have shown that Rhytidhysteron should be placed in Hysteriaceae (Boehm et al., 2009a, b, de Almeida et al., 2014; Wijayawardene et al., 2014). The genus Rhytidhysteron is characterized by closed and navicular ascomata, later opening by a longitudinal slit to become irregularly apothecioid at maturity and heavily pigmented, and with thick-walled ascospores (Boehm et al., 2009b). Aposphaeria-like’ or diplodia-like’ asexual morphs have been reported for Rhytidhysteron (Samuels & Müller 1979). In this study, we made several Rhytidhysteron collections on dead woody branches in northern Thailand.

Mycosphere 6(3), 290–326, Doi 10.5943/mycosphere/6/3/7 Abstract The Dothideomycetes include several genera whose ascomata can be considered as apothecia and thus would be grouped as discomycetes. Most genera are grouped in the family Patellariaceae, but also Agrynnaceae and other families. The Hysteriales include genera having hysterioid ascomata and can be confused with species in Patellariaceae with discoid apothecia if the opening is wide enough. In this study, genera of the family Patellariaceae were re-examined and characterized based on morphological examination. As a result of this study the genera Baggea, Endotryblidium, Holmiella, Hysteropatella, Lecanidiella, Lirellodisca, Murangium, Patellaria, Poetschia, Rhizodiscina, Schrakia, Stratisporella and Tryblidaria are retained in the family Patellariaceae. The genera Banhegyia, Pseudoparodia and Rhytidhysteron are excluded because of differing morphology and/or molecular data.

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.

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.

Knapp2 Received: 15 May 2020 /Revised: 14 November 2020 /Accepted: 29 November 2020 # The Author(s) 2020 Abstract In this study, we investigated two unidentified lineages of root-colonizing fungi belonging to the order Pleosporales (Dothideomycetes), which were isolated from Festuca vaginata (Poaceae), a dominant grass species in the semiarid sandy grass- lands of Hungary. For molecular phylogenetic studies, seven loci (internal transcribed spacer, partial large subunit and small subunit region of nrRNA, partial transcription elongation factor 1-α, RNA polymerase II largest subunit, RNA polymerase II second largest subunit, and ß-tubulin genes) were amplified and sequenced. Based on morphology and multilocus phylogenetic analyses, we found that one lineage belonged to Delitschia chaetomioides P. Karst. (Delitschiaceae), and the isolates of the other lineage represented a novel monotypic genus in the family Trematosphaeriaceae (suborder Massarineae). For this lineage, we proposed a new genus, Fuscosphaeria, represented by a single species, F. hungarica. In both lineages, only immature and degenerated sporocarps could be induced. These were sterile, black, globose, or depressed globose structures with numerous mycelioid appendages submerged in culture media or on the

Species are listed with localities, descriptions, illustrations and taxonomical and ecological notes. Most of them occur rarely in both countries or have very interesting habitats. Capronia borealis and Capronia chlorospora, so far known only from the temperate zone of North America, are reported from Europe for the first time. The systematic position of these species is arranged according to Eriksson and Hawksworth (1993).

Tanaka, [email protected] Abstract: The familial placement of four genera, Mycodidymella, Petrakia, Pseudodidymella, and Xenostigmina, was taxonomically revised based on morphological observations and phylogenetic analyses of nuclear rDNA SSU, LSU, tef1, and rpb2 sequences. ITS sequences were also provided as barcode markers. A total of 130 sequences were newly obtained from 28 isolates which are phylogenetically related to Melanommataceae (Pleosporales, Dothideomycetes) and its relatives. Phylo- genetic analyses and morphological observation of sexual and asexual morphs led to the conclusion that Melanommataceae should be restricted to its type genus Melanomma, which is characterised by ascomata composed of a well-developed, carbonaceous peridium, and an aposphaeria-like coelomycetous asexual morph. Although Mycodidymella, Petrakia, Pseudodidymella, and Xenostigmina are phylogenetically related to Melanommataceae, these genera are characterised by epi- phyllous, lenticular ascomata with well-developed basal stroma in their sexual morphs, and mycopappus-like propagules in their asexual morphs, which are clearly different from those of Melanomma.
