Fungal diversity notes 603–708: taxonomic and phylogenetic notes on genera and species

Abstract

This is the sixth in a series of papers where we bring collaborating mycologists together to produce a set of notes of several taxa of fungi. In this study we introduce a new family Fuscostagonosporaceae in Dothideomycetes. We also introduce the new ascomycete genera Acericola , Castellaniomyces , Dictyosporina and Longitudinalis and new species Acericola italica , Alternariaster trigonosporus , Amarenomyces dactylidis , Angustimassarina coryli , Astrocystis bambusicola , Castellaniomyces rosae , Chaetothyrina artocarpi , Chlamydotubeufia krabiensis , Colletotrichum lauri , Collodiscula chiangraiensis , Curvularia palmicola , Cytospora mali - sylvestris , Dictyocheirospora cheirospora , Dictyosporina ferruginea , Dothiora coronillae , Dothiora spartii , Dyfrolomyces phetchaburiensis , Epicoccum cedri , Epicoccum pruni , Fasciatispora calami , Fuscostagonospora cytisi , Grandibotrys hyalinus , Hermatomyces nabanheensis , Hongkongmyces thailandica , Hysterium rhizophorae , Jahnula guttulaspora , Kirschsteiniothelia rostrata , Koorchalomella salmonispora , Longitudinalis nabanheensis , Lophium zalerioides , Magnibotryascoma mali , Meliola clerodendri - infortunati , Microthyrium chinense , Neodidymelliopsis moricola , Neophaeocryptopus spartii , Nigrograna thymi , Ophiocordyceps cossidarum , Ophiocordyceps issidarum , Ophiosimulans plantaginis , Otidea pruinosa , Otidea stipitata , Paucispora kunmingense , Phaeoisaria microspora , Pleurothecium floriforme , Poaceascoma halophila , Periconia aquatica , Periconia submersa , Phaeosphaeria acaciae , Phaeopoacea muriformis , Pseudopithomyces kunmingnensis , Ramgea ozimecii , Sardiniella celtidis , Seimatosporium italicum , Setoseptoria scirpi , Torula gaodangensis and Vamsapriya breviconidiophora . We also provide an amended account of Rhytidhysteron to include apothecial ascomata and a J+ hymenium. The type species of Ascotrichella hawksworthii ( Xylariales genera incertae sedis ), Biciliopsis leptogiicola ( Sordariomycetes genera incertae sedis ), Brooksia tropicalis ( Micropeltidaceae ), Bryochiton monascus ( Teratosphaeriaceae ), Bryomyces scapaniae ( Pseudoperisporiaceae ), Buelliella minimula ( Dothideomycetes genera incertae sedis ), Carinispora nypae ( Pseudoastrosphaeriellaceae ), Cocciscia hammeri ( Verrucariaceae ), Endoxylina astroidea ( Diatrypaceae ), Exserohilum turcicum ( Pleosporaceae ), Immotthia hypoxylon ( Roussoellaceae ), Licopolia franciscana ( Vizellaceae ), Murispora rubicunda ( Amniculicolaceae ) and Doratospora guianensis (synonymized under Rizalia guianensis , Trichosphaeriaceae ) were re-examined and descriptions, illustrations and discussion on their familial placement are given based on phylogeny and morphological data. New host records or new country reports are provided for Chlamydotubeufia huaikangplaensis , Colletotrichum fioriniae , Diaporthe subclavata , Diatrypella vulgaris , Immersidiscosia eucalypti , Leptoxyphium glochidion , Stemphylium vesicarium , Tetraploa yakushimensis and Xepicula leucotricha . Diaporthe baccae is synonymized under Diaporthe rhusicola. A reference specimen is provided for Periconia minutissima. Updated phylogenetic trees are provided for most families and genera. We introduce the new basidiomycete species Agaricus purpurlesquameus , Agaricus rufusfibrillosus , Lactifluus holophyllus , Lactifluus luteolamellatus , Lactifluus pseudohygrophoroides , Russula benwooii , Russula hypofragilis , Russula obscurozelleri , Russula parapallens , Russula phoenicea , Russula pseudopelargonia , Russula pseudotsugarum , Russula rhodocephala , Russula salishensis , Steccherinum amapaense , Tephrocybella constrictospora , Tyromyces amazonicus and Tyromyces angulatus and provide updated trees to the genera. We also introduce Mortierella formicae in Mortierellales , Mucoromycota and provide an updated phylogenetic tree.
