... However, for instance, they remain hyaline in the generic type Capronia sexdecimspora (Barr 1991). Compared to the lichenicolous species of Capronia keyed out in Halici et al. (2010) and the subsequently described species of the genus (Flakus & Kukwa 2012;Zhurbenko 2012;Etayo et al. 2013;Etayo 2017;Tsurykau & Etayo 2017), the new species is most similar to C. amylacea, C. hypotrachynae, C. normandinae and C. pseudonormandinae. However, all these species are quite distinct in their ascospores, which are pigmented, submuriform and of another size: in C. amylacea they are shorter, 18-23 × 6-8 µm; in C. hypotrachynae and C. pseudonormandinae they are smaller, 12-19 × 5.5-7.5 µm and 12.5-16 × 6-7.5 µm respectively; and in C. normandinae they are broader, 7.5-9 µm wide (Hawksworth 1990;Aptroot et al. 1997;Etayo & Diederich 1998;Etayo 2017). ...
A first synopsis of lichenicolous fungi of Mongolia based on new collections and literature data is provided, including 114 species. Five new species are described: Capronia cogtii (on Vahliella leucophaea ), Echinothecium hypogymniae (on Hypogymnia bitteri ), Feltgeniomyces mongolicus (on H. bitteri ), Phacopsis vulpicidae (on Vulpicida juniperina ) and Roselliniella javkhlanae (on Rinodina turfacea var. ecrustacea ). Two new combinations are proposed: Endococcus hafellneri (≡ Stigmidium hafellneri ) and Sphaerellothecium taimyricum (≡ Sphaerellothecium thamnoliae var. taimyricum ). Unidentified specimens of Acremonium (on Mycoblastus sanguinarioides ), Cercidospora (on Rhizoplaca chrysoleuca s.lat.), Didymocyrtis (on Rhizoplaca chrysoleuca s.lat.), Lichenochora (on Physcia alnophila ), Lichenostigma (on species of Xanthoparmelia ), Phoma (on Vulpicida juniperina ) and a leotialean fungus (on Cetraria laevigata ) are characterized and discussed.

Sphaeropezia intermedia is newly reported for Eurasia. Didymocyrtis grumantiana is newly reported for Asia. Additionally, 71 species of lichenicolous fungi and five species of lichenicolous lichens are documented in Mongolia for the first time. Allocetraria is reported as a new host genus for Abrothallus peyritschii , Vulpicida for Arthonia triebeliae , and Anamylopsora for Muellerella pygmaea .
... The genus presently contains approximately 60 epithets, several of which have Capronia sexual morphs (Untereiner 1997). Numerous species of Exophiala / Capronia are known as host-specific fungicolous or lichenicolous fungi (Halici et al., 2010;Friebes, 2012). Phylogenetically, E. lignicola is distinct from those species known from their DNA sequences, and based on its unique conidiophores, it is treated as a unique taxon. ...

... It is characterized by small, dark and usually setose ascomata, with periphysate ostioles, the absence of interascal filaments, bitunicate, 8-to polysporus asci, and septate, hyaline to dark-colored ascospores (Barr 1987;Réblová 1996). A majority of the species are saprobic or hypersaprobic (Untereiner 2000) but about twenty species are reported to grow obligatory on lichens (Etayo & García Sancho 2008;Etayo et al. 2013;Flakus & Kukwa 2012;Halici et al. 2010;Tsurykau & Etayo 2017;Zhurbenko 2012;Zhurbenko et al. 2016). About eighty species of Capronia are described and, in spite of them being common and ubiquitous, their diminutive ascomata, which are seldom abundant on the substrate, makes them difficult to recognize. ...
Three new species belonging to Capronia are described from plants native to the Andean Patagonian forests, Argentina. The first record of C. chlorospora in South America is also reported. The identity of the three new species is based on detailed morpho-anatomical observations as well as analyses of ITS and LSU nuclear rDNA. A key to the Capronia species present in Argentina is provided.
... The abundant DSE genus Phialophora has been previously found in alpine forbs (Schadt et al., 2001) and conifer roots (Wang et al., 1985), as well as moss in Antarctica suggesting a global distribution for the taxon (Yu et al., 2014). Capronia has been found in lichens in Bolivia (Etayo et al., 2013), Turkey and Spain (Halici et al., 2010), in oak forests (Friebes, 2011), and even in intertidal environments (Au et al., 1999). While Capronia pilosella is cited as being a dark septate fungus (Jumpponen and Trappe, 1998), most sequences in our study aligned more closely (95%) to Capronia peltigerae, which is a lichenicolous fungus (Untereiner et al., 2011). ...
Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (AMF) and dark septate endophytes (DSE) are two fungal groups that colonize plant roots and can benefit plant growth, but little is known about their landscape distributions. We performed sequencing and microscopy on a variety of plants across a high-elevation landscape featuring plant density, snowpack, and nutrient gradients. Percent colonization by both AMF and DSE varied significantly among plant species, and DSE colonized forbs and grasses more than sedges. AMF were more abundant in roots at lower elevation areas with lower snowpack and lower phosphorus and nitrogen content, suggesting increased hyphal recruitment by plants to aid in nutrient uptake. DSE colonization was highest in areas with less snowpack and higher inorganic nitrogen levels, suggesting an important role for these fungi in mineralizing organic nitrogen. Both of these groups of fungi are likely to be important for plant fitness and establishment in areas limited by phosphorus and nitrogen.
... Conidiomata not observed. Halici et al. (2010), later on two additional species, C. thamnoliae Zhurb. and C. paranectrioides Etayo, Flakus & Kukwa have been described (Zhurbenko 2012, Etayo et al. 2013. ...
Eleven species of lichenicolous fungi are recorded from Bi Doup-Nui Ba National Park in Vietnam. Capronia josefhafellneri growing on apothecia and thallus of Septotrapelia triseptata is described as new to science. It is characterized by comparatively short setae up to 30 μm long and (0-)1(-2)-septate ascospores. Clypeococcum rugosisporum and Zwackhiomyces diederichii are reported as new to Asia, and Abrothallus usneae, Arthophacopsis cf. parmeliarum, Lichenoconium erodens, Pseudoseptoria usneae and Roselliniella cladoniae new to Southeast Asia. Arthophacopsis cf. parmeliarum is found on Hypotrachyna species.

Three species of lichenicolous fungi are reported as new to Turkey: Buelliella poetschii and Codonmyces lecanorae (both also new to Asia) and Polycoccum pulvinatum. Short descriptions are presented, including geographic distribution, host, and a comparison with similar taxa.
... Although lichenicolous fungi of Turkey have been the subject of a number of recent studies (Candan & Halici 2009;Etayo & Yazici 2009;Yazici et al. 2010aYazici et al. , 2010bYazici et al. , 2010cYazici et al. 2011aYazici et al. , 2011bYazici et al. , 2012Halici et al. 2010Halici et al. , 2012Halici & Aksoy 2009), knowledge of such fungi is still insufficient. To date, 139 lichenicolous fungal taxa have been found in Turkey (Yazici et al. 2011b). ...
As a result of lichenological exploration in the province of Iǧdi{dotless}r, Turkey, forty species of lichenicolous fungi belonging to eighteen genera were identified on twenty-seven different lichenized fungi. Four lichenicolous fungi-Arthonia protoparmeliopsidis, Lichenostigma radicans, L. subradians and Sclerococcum sphaerale-represent new records for Turkey. In addition, A. protoparmeliopsidis is new to Asia and Gemmaspora lecanorae was found for the second time on Aspicilia sp. Geographical distributions are also presented.
... Molecular analyses have recently been applied to the taxonomy and phylogeny of black yeasts (Halici et al. 2010, Nelsen et al. 2011, Feng et al. 2012, Lawrey et al. 2012, Chomnunti et al. 2013. This is because black yeasts are notoriously difficult to identify by morphology alone, due to their lack of significant differentiation, their pleomorphic growth, and their variable modes of conidiogenesis , Sterflinger 2006. ...
Three ascomycetes, isolated from the body cavity of the scale insect, Aspidiotus sp., collected in Song Mountain, Yanqing, Beijing, China, were identified to be a new species of Knufia. Knufia aspidiotus sp. nov. is introduced in this paper. The species is characterized by slow-growing, dematiaceous and blastic, endogenous conidia in undifferentiated hyphae, as well as darkly pigmented, enlarged multicellular bodies, and is similar to other Knufia species in morphology. Phylogenetic analyses, based on the small ribosomal subunit (SSU) gene and internal transcribed spacer (ITS) region, indicated that Knufia aspidiotus was related to, but clearly distant from other sequenced species in Knufia.
... The genus Capronia Sacc. is characterized by black, usually setose, perithecioid ascomata with periphysate ostioles, an absence of pseudoparaphyses, fissitunicate, usually 8-to multi-spored asci of the Herpotrichiellatype and septate to muriform, hyaline to pale grey or brown ascospores (Halici et al. 2010). It comprises c. 70 species, which mostly grow on decaying wood, bark and leaves, but some are also associated with fungi or lichens (Untereiner et al. 2011;Friebes 2012). ...
... It comprises c. 70 species, which mostly grow on decaying wood, bark and leaves, but some are also associated with fungi or lichens (Untereiner et al. 2011;Friebes 2012). So far, 17 species (two still unnamed; see Etayo 2002: 92 andEtayo 2010: 35) obligately growing on lichens have been recognized (e.g., Etayo & Sancho 2008;Halici;et al. 2010;Flakus & Kukwa 2012a;Zhurbenko 2012). In this paper, we introduce a new species of the genus Capronia with very unusual ascospores, with both ends protruding into long appendages (caudae). ...
... Capronia paranectrioides is the first known member of the genus growing on Erioderma. It differs from all other species predominantly by its bicaudate ascospores (Hawksworth 1980(Hawksworth , 1990Kondratyuk & Galloway 1995;Etayo 1996Etayo , 2002Etayo , 2003Etayo , 2010Aptroot et al. 1997;Etayo & Diederich 1998;Etayo & van den Boom 2006;Etayo & Sancho 2008;Halici et al. 2010;Flakus & Kukwa 2012a;Friebes 2012;Zhurbenko 2012). Another of the unusual features characterizing the new species is the positive amyloid reaction of the hymenium (I+ red and K/I+ blue). ...
The new lichenicolous Capronia paranectrioides Etayo, Flakus & Kukwa, inhabiting thalli of Erioderma leylandii, is described from Bolivia. The species is characterized by pale brown, submuriform and bicaudate ascospores, subglobose to barrel-shaped perithecia and I+ red, K/I+ pale blue hymenial gelatine. It is the first known Capronia species producing ascospores with long apical appendages.
