... 2.5.6 Hypoxylon aurantium and H. mangrovei Dayarathne et al. (2020a) introduced these two species based on morphological observations and nucleotide differences of the ITS and tub2 gene loci. Hypoxylon aurantium is a distinctive Hypoxylon species in possessing a bright orange ascostromatal surface which is somewhat similar to H. fendleri (Vasilyeva et al. 2007). Hypoxylon aurantium and H. fendleri formed a sister lineage with high statistical support (97 % ML, 0.97 PP) and the base pair difference of ITS and tub2 gene loci accounts 52 out of 604 (84 %) and 163 bp out of 1028 bp (15 %), respectively. ...
This article revises the documented diversity of known marine fungi from nine phyla, 33 classes, 107 orders, 273 families, 767 genera and 1898 species reported worldwide. A member of the Aphelidiomycota, Pseudaphelidium drebesii, is reported for the first time from the marine environment, on a diatom. Likewise, the phylum Mortierellomycota is listed following taxonomic changes, as are six subclasses: Chaetothyriomycetidae, Savoryellomycetidae, Sclerococcomycetidae, Agaricostilbomycetidae, Auriculariomycetidae and Aphelidiomycotina. Thirty-three orders and 105 family names with marine species are added to the checklist, along with 641 species in 228 genera, bringing the total to 1898. New additions of species added to the list of marine fungi are highlighted. Four new combinations are proposed: Stigmatodiscus mangrovei, Diaporthe krabiensis and Diaporthe xylocarpi, while the hyphomycete Humicola alopallonella is referred to the genus Halosphaeriopsis, as Halosphaeriopsis alopallonella.

WS34, WS35, and WS36) ( Table 1), these fungal hosts were identified based on morphological features using references by Laessoe and Peterson [32] and Vasilyeva et al. [35]. Both sampling sites were typical secondary forests where Aucuba japonica, Cryptomeria japonica, Quercus serrata, and Zelkova serrata were dominant. ...
The diversity of sporocarp-inhabiting fungi (SCIF) was examined using six samples of xylarialean fungi from two different forests in Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan: a moist forest in the Sakuragawa area and an urban dry forest in the Tsukuba area. These fungi were enumerated using direct observation and dilution plate methods. We obtained 44 isolates, and careful morphological and molecular phylogenetic studies of these isolates revealed that approximately 30% of the operating taxonomic units were undescribed or cryptic species related to known fungi. Although typical mycoparasitic fungi, such as helotialean fungi and Trichoderma spp., were not isolated, the genera Acremonium, Acrodontium, and Simplicillium were detected. Comparisons of SCIF communities between the two forests suggested that the number of isolated species in the Sakuragawa area was lower than that in the Tsukuba area. Soil-borne fungi, such as Aspergillus, Beauveria, Penicillium, and Talaromyces, or polypores/corticioid mushrooms, are frequently detected in the Tsukuba area. Factors affecting SCIF communities in the two forests are discussed. Some noteworthy fungi are briefly described with notes on taxonomy, ecology, and molecular phylogeny.

The Xylariales (Sordariomycetes, Ascomycota) is an order of mostly stromatic perithecial fungi generally inhabiting wood and other plant debris, as well as some impor- tant plant pathogenic species. As a follow-up to an extensive fungal inventory conducted by D. Haelewaters and colleagues since December 2012 at the Boston Harbor Islands National Recreation Area in Massachusetts, I examined members of the Xylariales in detail, including previously unreported collections. I constructed keys for included taxa, and I provide species notes, references, substrate, and collecting data of the following Xylarialean genera: Diatrype, Eutypa, Eutypella (Diatrypaceae); Biscogniauxia, Camil- lea, Graphostroma (Graphostromataceae); Annulohypoxylon, Daldinia, Hypomontagnella, Hypoxylon, Jackrogersella (Hypoxylaceae); Lopadostoma (Lopadostomataceae); and Entoleuca, Kretzschmaria, Nemania, Rosellinia, Xylaria (Xylariaceae). I herein formally describe a new species, Xylaria nismundoensis sp. nov., based on combined morphology and multi-locus phylogenetic analysis. This taxon provides the rst evidence of a saprotrophic lifestyle for members of the E9 phylogenetic clade of Xylaria, previously only known as endophytes.
... Most of fungal species were identified directly in site. For problematic species, the sporomes were collected and identified in laboratory using literature (Ellis & Everhart 1966;Ryvarden 1976;Breitenbach & Kränzlin 1986;Gilbertson & Ryvarden 1986Jülich 1989;Ryvarden 1991;Ryvarden & Gilbertson 1994;Senn-Irlet 1995;Gerhardt 1999;Vasilyeva et al. 2007; Tănase et al. ...
... Some species were found especially on logs -Phellinus hartigii, Pseudohydnum gelatinosum (Breitenbach & Kränzlin 1986) -while others on stumps, such as Hypholoma capnoides, Tricholomopsis rutilans (Eyssartier & Roux 2013). Numerous diagnostic species preferred beech wood: Mycetinis alliaceus, Mucidula mucida, Eutypa spinosa and Jackrogersella cohaerens (Eyssartier & Roux 2013;Kutszegi et al. 2015;Müller et al. 2007;Vasilyeva et al. 2007). The diagnostic species for Cluster 3 (assemblages in sessile oak-coniferous forests) belonged to ephemeral genera like Mycena sp. and Calocera sp. ...
Background and aims – Lignicolous fungal assemblages perform numerous functions in forest ecosystems, one of the most important being their capacity to decay wood. As a consequence of their belonging to different ecological niches, the forest ecosystem influences the fungal assemblages in terms of species richness and composition. Methods – In this study we analyzed the main lignicolous macrofungal assemblages in some deciduous and mixed deciduous-coniferous forests in the North-East Region of Romania. We searched to find fungal indicator species for a certain forest type and which are the main drivers and their effects on the composition of the lignicolous macrofungal assemblages. Fungal assemblages were identified using a hierarchical agglomerative clustering procedure, while diagnostic species for each cluster were identified based on the indicator value index. Relationships between fungal composition of plots and environmental variables were performed using detrended and canonical correspondence analyses.Key results – A total of 377 fungal taxa in approximately 4600 records (in 59 plots) were identified. Six distinct clusters of lignicolous fungal assemblages were defined and separated three groups: 1) species-rich lignicolous fungal assemblages in beech forests (1 cluster), 2) well defined fungal assemblages in the mixed broadleaved-coniferous forests (2 clusters), and 3) fungal assemblages typical to oak forests (3 clusters). Ordination methods highlighted the forest type as the most important factor influencing the fungal composition of plots. Forestry Aridity Index, tree diversity and large trees basal area were also important factors for fungal assemblages but with a lower contribution. Conclusion – In the studied region, fungal assemblages changed from oak to beech and to mixed, broadleaved-coniferous forests mainly as a consequence of different tree composition. Climate also shaped fungal composition but to a lesser extent.

Our investigation of saprobic marine fungi in India, Thailand, Sweden and the UK yielded 57 species accommodated in 26 families. In the present study, we describe two new genera, 37 new species and 15 new host records. Novel genera, Halocryptosphaeria and Halotestudina are introduced within Diatrypaceae (Xylariales) and Testudinaceae (Xenoacremonium brunneosporum are introduced based on multigene analyses and morphological studies. This study also provides insights into the diversity of fungi from marine based habitats and confirm that they occupy diverse marine niches. We also demonstrate how marine based substrates, including sand dunes, are fascinating substrates for discovering novel taxa. All taxa described herein are based on morphological examination of fresh specimens supported by multigene phylogenies to better integrate taxa into higher taxonomic framework and infer their phylogenetic relationships as well as establish new species.

The present study deals with new distribution record of five Xylaria species from Tripura, North-east India. Out of total five species, X. obovata, X. nigripes, X. multiplex and X. hypoxylon were not reported from entire Northeast India. Present findings revealed a potential check list of Xylaria of the region. It was observed that Xylaria species prefer to grow on dead decaying wooden logs situated on the moist deciduous forest floor. In addition, the present study also examines the toxicity test for all Xylaria species, and found that all five reported species contain toxic components and recommended as non-edible wild mushroom.

The diversity of the macroscopic ascomycetes currently known from the Agua Blanca State Park, Tabasco, is the result of several previous investigations of macromycetes at the state level. As there is no specific study on the ascomycetes of the aforementioned park, in this work the previous records were combined with the results of new explorations within this project. The Agua Blanca State Park is located in the western and northeastern region of the state of Tabasco, Mexico. Twenty eight explorations were carried out between December 2011 and July 2015. The material collected was deposited in the UJAT herbarium for its preservation and identification.
Identification of the samples was carried out following the conventional mycological techniques. 129 specimens were revised, allowing for the determination of 22 species belonging to two classes, three orders, five families and eight genera. The genera Scutellinia and Rosellinia are reported for the first time for the state. The genus Xylaria is the most diverse with 10 species, while the genera Ophiocordyceps, Scutellinia, Hypoxylon and Rosellinia are the least diverse with one species each. Of the 22 species identified, 12(55%) were new records for Tabasco and 18(22%) were this for the study area, while 10(45%) of the species had previously been found in the state and 4(18%)
in the reserve. Finally, this study shows a higher number of species evaluated compared to previous work.
