This taxon is distinguished from all other Coccomyces taxa by having two types of paraphyses. The type specimen is deposited in the Reference Collection of Forest Fungi of Anhui Agricultural University, China (AAUF). Key words — foliicolous fungus, taxonomy, Fabaceae, fungal diversity Introduction Coccomyces De Not. is the second-largest genus in the Rhytismataceae (Rhytismatales, Leotiomycetes, Ascomycota), of which at least 116 species have been recorded (Kirk et al. 2008, Lin et al. 2012). They are widely distributed and occur on leaves, herbaceous stems, bark, and wood (Sherwood 1980). The study of Coccomyces in China began in 1934 with the records of C. dentatus on Quercus and Castanea, and C. delta (Kunze) Sacc. on Lauraceae (Teng 1934). Subsequently, twenty-eight additional species have been reported (Korf & Zhuang 1985; Lin et al. 1994; Lin 1998; Hou et al. 2006, 2007; Jia et al. 2012; Zheng et al. 2012; Wang et al. 2013; Yang et al. 2013). Of the 159 fungal species known to inhabit Millettia, no Coccomyces species has yet been reported on this plant genus (Farr & Rossman 2014).

This species differs from C. dentatus by its asci with subtruncate-conical apices, paraphyses branched near the top, infrequent zone lines, and the absence of conidiomata. The type specimen is deposited in the Reference Collection of Forest Fungi of Anhui Agricultural University, China (AAUF). Key words —Rhytismataceae, morphology, Ericaceae Introduction Coccomyces De Not., established by de Notaris in 1847, is now placed in the Rhytismatales (Leotiomycetes, Ascomycota) (Kirk et al. 2008). Coccomyces taxa are characterized by polygonal or more or less circular ascomata that open by several radiate or irregular splits, cylindrical to clavate asci, and filiform, long- fusiform, or clavate ascospores, often with gelatinous sheaths (Sherwood 1980; Cannon & Minter 1986; Johnston 1986, 2000; Spooner 1990; Lin et al. 1994; Jia et al. 2012). External shape, size, and ascomal openings, ascal shape and size, and the shape of paraphyses at the apex are regarded as the most important taxonomic characters (Johnston 1986; Lin 1998). Twenty-five Coccomyces species have been reported in China (Korf & Zhuang 1985; Lin 1998; Hou et al.

  • Nuevos Registros De Coccomyces (Rhytismatales, Ascomycota) Para México New Records of Coccomyces (Rhytismatales, Ascomycota) for Mexico
    Artículo de investigación Nuevos registros de Coccomyces (Rhytismatales, Ascomycota) para México New records of Coccomyces (Rhytismatales, Ascomycota) for Mexico Ricardo Valenzuela1 , Tania Raymundo1,2 Resumen: Antecedentes y Objetivos: Coccomyces presenta ascomas subcirculares a poligonales inmersos en hojas con un estroma negro que al madurar deja el himenio expuesto y errumpente. Las ascas son subclavadas a cilíndricas y las paráfisis filiformes con ápices uncinados, enroscados, hinchados a lanceolados. Las ascosporas varían de subclavadas a filiformes rodeadas por una vaina mucilaginosa. Este género es endófito, mejor conocido como foliícola, por formar fructificaciones sobre hojarasca en regiones templadas. Se han descrito alrededor de 116 especies. En México, sólo se han regis- trado Coccomyces arctostaphyloides y C. parasiticus. El objetivo principal de este estudio es contribuir al conocimiento taxonómico del género en los bosques de niebla de los estados de Hidalgo y Puebla, México. Métodos: Se revisó el material depositado en la colección de hongos del herbario ENCB; además se recolectaron especímenes en fresco en los mu- nicipios Zacualtipán de Ángeles y Acaxochitlán, Hidalgo y en los de Honey y Naupan, Puebla. Las especies se determinaron y describieron morfológi- camente siguiendo las técnicas micológicas tradicionales. Resultados clave: Se citan por primera vez para México Coccomyces coronatus y C. tumidus (Rhytismataceae). La primera se caracteriza por presentar apotecios poligonales inmersos en hojas de Fagus mexicana en el municipio Zacualtipán de Ángeles, Hidalgo y hojas de Quercus sp. en el municipio Honey, Puebla, mientras que la segunda forma apotecios superficiales sobre hojas deQuercus ilex en el municipio Acaxochitlán, Hidalgo y en Naupan, Puebla. Se presentan descripciones taxonómicas e ilustraciones de ambas especies foliícolas del bosque de niebla.

  • An Inventory of Fungal Diversity in Ohio Research Thesis Presented In
    An Inventory of Fungal Diversity in Ohio Research Thesis Presented in partial fulfillment of the requirements for graduation with research distinction in the undergraduate colleges of The Ohio State University by Django Grootmyers The Ohio State University April 2021 1 ABSTRACT Fungi are a large and diverse group of eukaryotic organisms that play important roles in nutrient cycling in ecosystems worldwide. Fungi are poorly documented compared to plants in Ohio despite 197 years of collecting activity, and an attempt to compile all the species of fungi known from Ohio has not been completed since 1894. This paper compiles the species of fungi currently known from Ohio based on vouchered fungal collections available in digitized form at the Mycology Collections Portal (MyCoPortal) and other online collections databases and new collections by the author. All groups of fungi are treated, including lichens and microfungi. 69,795 total records of Ohio fungi were processed, resulting in a list of 4,865 total species-level taxa. 250 of these taxa are newly reported from Ohio in this work. 229 of the taxa known from Ohio are species that were originally described from Ohio. A number of potentially novel fungal species were discovered over the course of this study and will be described in future publications. The insights gained from this work will be useful in facilitating future research on Ohio fungi, developing more comprehensive and modern guides to Ohio fungi, and beginning to investigate the possibility of fungal conservation in Ohio. INTRODUCTION Fungi are a large and very diverse group of organisms that play a variety of vital roles in natural and agricultural ecosystems: as decomposers (Lindahl, Taylor and Finlay 2002), mycorrhizal partners of plant species (Van Der Heijden et al.

Key words: Abstract: Fungal endophytes comprise one of the most ubiquitous groups of plant symbionts. They live bryophytes asymptomatically within vascular plants, bryophytes and also in close association with algal photobionts endophytes inside lichen thalli. While endophytic diversity in land plants has been well studied, their diversity in lichens lichens and bryophytes are poorly understood. Here, we compare the endolichenic and endophytic fungal multi-locus molecular phylogeny communities isolated from lichens and bryophytes in the Barton Peninsula, King George Island, Antarctica.
