  • Fenestelloid Clades of the Cucurbitariaceae
    Persoonia 44, 2020: 1–40 ISSN (Online) 1878-9080 www.ingentaconnect.com/content/nhn/pimj RESEARCH ARTICLE https://doi.org/10.3767/persoonia.2020.44.01 Fenestelloid clades of the Cucurbitariaceae W.M. Jaklitsch1,2, H. Voglmayr1,2 Key words Abstract Fresh collections and their ascospore and conidial isolates backed up by type studies and molecular phylogenetic analyses of a multigene matrix of partial nuSSU-, complete ITS, partial LSU rDNA, rpb2, tef1 and tub2 Cucurbitaria sequences were used to evaluate the boundaries and species composition of Fenestella and related genera of the Dothideomycetes Cucurbitariaceae. Eight species, of which five are new, are recognised in Fenestella s.str., 13 in Parafenestella with multigene phylogenetic analysis eight new species and two in the new genus Synfenestella with one new species. Cucurbitaria crataegi is combined new taxa in Fenestella, C. sorbi in Synfenestella, Fenestella faberi and Thyridium salicis in Parafenestella. Cucurbitaria Phoma subcaespitosa is distinct from C. sorbi and combined in Neocucurbitaria. Fenestella minor is a synonym of Valsa Pleosporales tetratrupha, which is combined in Parafenestella. Cucurbitaria marchica is synonymous with Parafenestella salicis, Pyrenochaeta Fenestella bavarica with S. sorbi, F. macrospora with F. media, and P. mackenziei is synonymous with P. faberi, and the latter is lectotypified. Cucurbitaria sorbi, C. subcaespitosa and Fenestella macrospora are lecto- and epitypified, Cucurbitaria crataegi, Fenestella media, F. minor and Valsa tetratrupha are epitypified in order to stabilise the names in their phylogenetic positions. A neotype is proposed for Thyridium salicis. A determinative key to species is given. Asexual morphs of fenestelloid fungi are phoma-like and do not differ from those of other representatives of the Cucurbitariaceae.

Laccariopsis is morphologically close to these genera but distinguished by a unique combination of features: a Laccaria-like habit (distant, thick, subdecurrent lamellae), viscid pileus and upper stipe, glabrous stipe with a long pseudorhiza connecting with Ammophila and Juniperus roots and incorporating plant debris and sand particles, pileipellis consisting of a loose ixohymeniderm with slender pileocystidia, large and thin- to thick-walled spores and basidia, thin- to slightly thick-walled hymenial cystidia and caulocystidia, and monomitic stipe tissue. Phylogenetic analyses based on a combined ITS-LSU sequence dataset place Laccariopsis close to Gloiocephala and Rhizomarasmius. Key words — Agaricomycetes, Physalacriaceae, /gloiocephala clade, phylogeny, taxonomy Introduction Hydropus mediterraneus was originally described by Pacioni & Lalli (1985) based on collections from Mediterranean dune ecosystems in Central Italy, Sardinia, and Tunisia. Previous collections were misidentified as Laccaria maritima (Theodor.) Singer ex Huhtinen (Dal Savio 1984) due to their laccarioid habit. The generic attribution to Hydropus Kühner ex Singer by Pacioni & Lalli (1985) was due mainly to the presence of reddish watery droplets on young lamellae and sarcodimitic tissue in the stipe (Corner 1966, Singer 1982).

Abdollahzadeh1, E. Mohammadi Goltapeh1, A. Javadi2, M. Shams-bakhsh1, R. Zare2, A.J.L. Phillips3 Key words Abstract Species in the Botryosphaeriaceae are well known as pathogens and saprobes of woody hosts, but little is known about the species that occur in Iran. In a recent survey of this family in Iran two fungi with diplodia-like Citrus anamorphs were isolated from various tree hosts. These two fungi were fully characterised in terms of morphology EF 1-α of the anamorphs in culture, and sequences of the ITS1/ITS2 regions of the ribosomal DNA operon and partial ITS sequences of the translation elongation factor 1- .

  • Checklist of Argentine Agaricales 4
    Checklist of the Argentine Agaricales 4. Tricholomataceae and Polyporaceae 1 2* N. NIVEIRO & E. ALBERTÓ 1Instituto de Botánica del Nordeste (UNNE-CONICET). Sargento Cabral 2131, CC 209 Corrientes Capital, CP 3400, Argentina 2Instituto de Investigaciones Biotecnológicas (UNSAM-CONICET) Intendente Marino Km 8.200, Chascomús, Buenos Aires, CP 7130, Argentina CORRESPONDENCE TO *: [email protected] ABSTRACT— A species checklist of 86 genera and 709 species belonging to the families Tricholomataceae and Polyporaceae occurring in Argentina, and including all the species previously published up to year 2011 is presented. KEY WORDS—Agaricomycetes, Marasmius, Mycena, Collybia, Clitocybe Introduction The aim of the Checklist of the Argentinean Agaricales is to establish a baseline of knowledge on the diversity of mushrooms species described in the literature from Argentina up to 2011. The families Amanitaceae, Pluteaceae, Hygrophoraceae, Coprinaceae, Strophariaceae, Bolbitaceae and Crepidotaceae were previoulsy compiled (Niveiro & Albertó 2012a-c). In this contribution, the families Tricholomataceae and Polyporaceae are presented. Materials & Methods Nomenclature and classification systems This checklist compiled data from the available literature on Tricholomataceae and Polyporaceae recorded for Argentina up to the year 2011. Nomenclature and classification systems followed Singer (1986) for families. The genera Pleurotus, Panus, Lentinus, and Schyzophyllum are included in the family Polyporaceae. The Tribe Polyporae (including the genera Polyporus, Pseudofavolus, and Mycobonia) is excluded. There were important rearrangements in the families Tricholomataceae and Polyporaceae according to Singer (1986) over time to present. Tricholomataceae was distributed in six families: Tricholomataceae, Marasmiaceae, Physalacriaceae, Lyophyllaceae, Mycenaceae, and Hydnaginaceae. Some genera belonging to this family were transferred to other orders, i.e. Rickenella (Rickenellaceae, Hymenochaetales), and Lentinellus (Auriscalpiaceae, Russulales).

The oldest binomial disclosed is Torula hammonis ; it was written by Ehrenberg in 1824 on the voucher specimen of a fungus he collected in Egypt. From 1824-1900 simply 8 new taxa were named. None was established in the first decade of the 20th century, while a large proportion was issued in the years 1910-1930: 68.2%. Most novelties were described as species, and fewer were considered varieties or forma of known species; the genus Lacellina was proposed for L. libyca, now L . graminicola . The relevant protologues were elaborated by few mycologists active in France, Germany and Italy. The new organisms commonly developed on parts of green plants collected by European residents or travellers botanists. The original localities of collections are now situated in Egypt, Irak, Libya, Palestine and Yemen. Over half of the novel taxa originates from Egypt. Such includes the oldest 6 species due to Ehrenberg and Thuemen (1876-1880), and another 16 taxa due to Reichert in 1921; the specimens of the latter were collected by Schweinfurth and Ehrenberg with occasional ones by Th.

Slippers1, J. Roux2, M.J. Wingfield1, F.J.J. van der Walt2, F. Jami2, J.W.M. Mehl2, G.J. Marais3 Key words Abstract Identification of fungi and the International Code of Nomenclature underpinning this process, rests strongly on the characterisation of morphological structures. Yet, the value of these characters to define species in Botryosphaeriales many groups has become questionable or even superfluous. This has emerged as DNA-based techniques have morphotaxa increasingly revealed cryptic species and species complexes. This problem is vividly illustrated in the present phylogeny study where 105 isolates of the Botryosphaeriales were recovered from both healthy and diseased woody tissues taxonomy of native Acacia spp. in Namibia and South Africa. Thirteen phylogenetically distinct groups were identified based tree health on Internal Transcribed Spacer (ITS) rDNA PCR-RFLP and translation elongation factor 1-α (TEF1-α) sequence data, two loci that are known to be reliable markers to distinguish species in the Botryosphaeriales. Four of these groups could be linked reliably to sequence data for formerly described species, including Botryosphaeria dothidea, Dothiorella dulcispinae, Lasiodiplodia pseudotheobromae and Spencermartinsia viticola. Nine groups, however, could not be linked to any other species known from culture and for which sequence data are available. These groups are, therefore, described as Aplosporella africana, A. papillata, Botryosphaeria auasmontanum, Dothiorella capri-amissi, Do. oblonga, Lasiodiplodia pyriformis, Spencermartinsia rosulata, Sphaeropsis variabilis and an un- described Neofusicoccum sp.

  • Mycoparasite Hypomyces Odoratus Infests Agaricus Xanthodermus Fruiting Bodies in Nature Kiran Lakkireddy1,2†, Weeradej Khonsuntia1,2,3† and Ursula Kües1,2*
    Lakkireddy et al. AMB Expr (2020) 10:141 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13568-020-01085-5 ORIGINAL ARTICLE Open Access Mycoparasite Hypomyces odoratus infests Agaricus xanthodermus fruiting bodies in nature Kiran Lakkireddy1,2†, Weeradej Khonsuntia1,2,3† and Ursula Kües1,2* Abstract Mycopathogens are serious threats to the crops in commercial mushroom cultivations. In contrast, little is yet known on their occurrence and behaviour in nature. Cobweb infections by a conidiogenous Cladobotryum-type fungus iden- tifed by morphology and ITS sequences as Hypomyces odoratus were observed in the year 2015 on primordia and young and mature fruiting bodies of Agaricus xanthodermus in the wild. Progress in development and morphologies of fruiting bodies were afected by the infections. Infested structures aged and decayed prematurely. The mycopara- sites tended by mycelial growth from the surroundings to infect healthy fungal structures. They entered from the base of the stipes to grow upwards and eventually also onto lamellae and caps. Isolated H. odoratus strains from a diseased standing mushroom, from a decaying overturned mushroom stipe and from rotting plant material infected mushrooms of diferent species of the genus Agaricus while Pleurotus ostreatus fruiting bodies were largely resistant. Growing and grown A. xanthodermus and P. ostreatus mycelium showed degrees of resistance against the mycopatho- gen, in contrast to mycelium of Coprinopsis cinerea. Mycelial morphological characteristics (colonies, conidiophores and conidia, chlamydospores, microsclerotia, pulvinate stroma) and variations of fve diferent H. odoratus isolates are presented. In pH-dependent manner, H. odoratus strains stained growth media by pigment production yellow (acidic pH range) or pinkish-red (neutral to slightly alkaline pH range).
