... There are no records of this genus from continental Africa (but Cancellidium applanatum was reported from Seychelles), Europe, or polar areas (Table 2). Cancellidium species are found in warm regions, tropical to subtropical (Zelski et al. 2014;Dong et al. 2021;Hyde et al. 2021;Calabon et al. 2022; see Table 2). Cancellidium applanatum has the widest geographical range, while C. atrobrunneum, C. cinereum, C. griseonigrum, C. pinicola, and C. thailandense are limited to south-eastern Asia (Table 2). ...
... By analogy with modern species of Cancellidium, found only in warm tropical to subtropical regions (Zelski et al. 2014;Dong et al. 2021;Hyde et al. 2021;Calabon et al. 2022; see Table 2), it seems that the presence of fossil C. intergraniferum could suggest warm climatic conditions accompanying the phytogenic sedimentation that formed the seam MPLS-1 at the Tomisławice lignite mine. Indeed, the formation of the lignite seam began during the last peak of the MCO, and at that time there was a fairly stable, warm temperate climate. ...
Fungal palynomorph corresponding to the fossil-species Lirasporis intergranifer R. Potonié & S.C.D. Sah, from the Middle Miocene lignite mine from Tomisławice (central Poland), was considered as a new combination Cancellidium intergraniferum (R. Potonié & S.C.D. Sah) G. Worobiec & E. Worobiec, comb. nov. Fossil-genus Lirasporis is treated as synonym of modern Cancellidium genus. C. intergraniferum from the Miocene of Poland documents the first fossil record of the Cancellidium Tubaki genus outside Asia, the first record of this genus from Europe, and the northernmost known fossil occurrence of Cancellidium. Living representatives of Cancellidium seem to prefer warm and humid climates and being aero-aquatic hyphomycetes are usually associated with decaying woody remains in aquatic environment. Similar ecology is suggested for the fossil C. intergraniferum, which could be a reliable fungal non-pollen palynomorph proxy for palaeoclimatic and palaeoenvironmental reconstructions.
... Notes: Sporoschisma hemipsilum (Berk. & Broome) Zelski, A.N. Mill., & Shearer is a commonly found species in the genus and was fully described and illustrated by Hughes (1949, , Goh et al. (1997), Zelski et al. (2014), Luo et al. (2016) and . It can be distinguished from the most closely related species S. nigroseptatum by its four inner cells of the conidia are equal in length, while in S. nigroseptatum the two central cells are longer than the penultimate cells (Nag Goh et al. 1997). ...

Chaetosphaeriaceae is one of the largest families in Sordariomycetes that commonly found on decaying leaf, fruit, branch, bark and wood in both terrestrial and submerged environment in nature. This paper reports our research result of diversity, taxonomy and phylogeny of anamorphic Chaetosphaeriaceae in China, which is based on a systematic study with an integrated approach of morphological observation and phylogenetic analysis for a large collection (>1300 herbarium specimens and 1177 living strains). The family Chaetosphaeriaceae is further expanded to accomendate 89 accepted genera, including 22 new genera and 10 newly assigned genera. Most of these genera (except for Chaetosphaeria and several other relatively large genera) are delimitated as monophyletic genera with well-defined diagnostic characters in morphology. The phylogenetic connection of non-phialidic Sporidesmium -like fungi with the family is further confirmed and expanded to 10 different genera. The polyphyletic Codinaea / Dictyochaeta/Tainosphaeria complex is further resolved with a taxonomic framework of 28 monophyletic genera by redelimitation of Codinaea and Dictyochaeta with narrow concept, acceptance of the 16 established genera, and finally introduction of 10 new genera. Chloridium is phylogenetically redefined as monophyletic genus with narrow concept as typified by the type species, a systematic review in both generic and species level is still needed. For biodiversity of chaetosphaeriaceous fungi, a total of 372 species in 76 genera, including 126 new species, 48 new combinations, and 1 new name, are documented. The identification keys are provided for most genera, especially the large genera such as Codinaea , Codinaeella , Stilbochaeta , Cryptophiale , Thozetella , Dinemasporium and Pseudolachnella . In addition, ten known species were excluded from the family and reclassified. One of the future research area for this family should be the systematic revision of several relatively large polyphyletic genera, including Bahusutrabeeja , Ellisembia , Stanjehughesia , Cacumisporium , Chaetosphaeria , Chloridium , Craspedodidymum , Cryptophiale, Cryptophialoidea , Dictyochaetopsis , Minimidochium , and many published species of Codinaea and Dictyochaeta .
... Approximately 200 asexual ascomycete species have been registered in the Brazilian Amazon in the states of Pará (Castro & al. 2012, Monteiro & al. 2013, Santos & al. 2018, Amazonas (Cortez al. 2016, Fiuza & al. 2015, Amapá (Carmo & al. 2014), and Mato Grosso (Barbosa & al. 2015;2017). Asexual ascomycetes have also been reported in the Amazon from Peru (Matsushima 1993, Zelski & al. 2014 and Ecuador (Matsushima 1993). As many Amazonian species have yet to be discovered, inventory work is encouraged and essential before we lose these precious forests due to anthropogenic factors such as habitat fragmentation and climate change. ...
A new genus and species of asexual ascomycete, Parathozetella microsperma, are described and illustrated from decaying plant material collected from three rainforest areas in Mato Grosso and Pará States. The new genus resembles Thozetella in sporodochial conidiomata, presence of microawns, and enteroblastic monophialidic conidiogenesis that produces lunate conidia, but Parathozetella can be easily distinguished by the absence of setulae.
... Such detachable sheath is, however, absent in Cordana abramovii var. abramovii Seman & Davydkina, a species which has been commonly collected worldwide (Seman and Davydkina 1983;Rao and de Hoog 1986;Zelski et al. 2014;Santos et al. 2018;Luo et al. 2019). Besides these two species, there are currently no other conidial fungi reported to have such a dehiscent or detachable "perisporic" sheath. ...
The anamorphic taxon Phaeonawawia diplocladielloidea gen. et sp. nov. is described and illustrated from wood submerged in a freshwater stream in Malaysia. The fungus is generically distinct in the brown, short-stalked, bulbose or urceolate conidiogenous cells with a terminal pore rimmed with a flared collarette, producing large, dematiaceous, versicoloured, multi-euseptate, tetrahedral, or obpyramidal stauroconidia which bear hyaline filiform appendages at the end of the arms and enclosed by a thick, hyaline sheath. The new fungus is compared with some similar anamorphic fungi. Phylogenetic analyses by maximum likelihood and Bayesian inference approaches using the nuc rDNA ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 (ITS barcode) support the placement of this new fungus in the Chaetosphaeriaceae. The various anamorphic forms of chaetosphaeriaceous fungi are briefly discussed.
... The type species, C. applanatum was collected from wood blocks in Japan. Putative collections of this species were later found in Australia, Brazil, Brunei, China, India, Malaysia, Peru and Thailand and commonly in freshwater (Sivichai et al. 2002;Fryar et al. 2004;Pinnoi et al. 2006;Zhao et al. 2012;Zelski et al. 2014, Table 3). In the phylogenetic analysis with five gene regions (ITS, LSU, SSU, TEF1-α and RPB2) (Fig. 4), the three new taxa of Cancellidium nested within the genus with strong support (100MLBS/100MPBS/0.99PP, ...
... Notes: Cancellidium cinereum resembles C. applanatum in conidial shape and size, but conidia are brown to almost black in C. applanatum, while they are ashgrey to olivaceous brown in C. cinereum. Cancellidium applanatum has micronematous conidiophores, while C. cinereum produced conspicuous semi-macronematous to macronematous conidiophores (Zelski et al. 2014;Zhao et al. 2012). Phylogenetic analysis showed that C. cinereum clustered with C. applanatum as its sister taxon (Fig. 4). ...
... Cancellidium pinicola match with the genus characters, such as, micronematous, short conidiophores and dictyosporous, flattened conidia contain chains of small monilioid cells. Phylogenetic studies in Yeung et al. (2006), Pratibha et al. (2014 and Zelski et al. (2014) indicated that Cancellidium belongs to Sordariomycetes as genera incertae sedis but the placement of C. applanatum and C. pinicola was not close. Luo et al. (2019) found that two strains of C. applanatum clustered together as a sister clade to Junewangiaceae, Pseudoproboscisporaceae and Atractosporaceae, but were placed far from C. pinicola which grouped within Hypocreaceae. ...
Cancellidium is a remarkable fungal genus which has been collected from wood submerged in freshwater and has unique conidia that are important in dispersal in running streams. With such a remarkable morphology, one would have expected it to be a distinct family or order. However, due to the dearth of molecular evidence in related taxa, this genus has previously been placed in the order Hypocreales, subclass Hypocreomycetidae of Sordariomycetes. In this study, we made three new collections of this remarkable aquatic genus from streams in China and Thailand, isolated them into culture, extracted DNA and carried out multigene phylogenetic analysis and divergence time estimation which placed the genus in Diaporthomycetidae. This is one of the seven subclasses of Sordariomycetes and contains 30 lineages that are only known from freshwater. The subclass is therefore of interest when considering the evolution of freshwater fungi. Several lineages of Diaporthomycetidae are morphologically unique and taxa cluster with strong support, but have weak support at the base of the trees. The phylogenetic and MCC trees generated in this study indicate that Aquapteridospora, Barbatosphaeriaceae, Bullimyces, Cancellidium, Ceratolenta, Conlarium, Phialemoniopsis, Pseudostanjehughesia and Rhamphoriaceae are distinct genera/families that evolved in the family/order time frame. The new orders Barbatosphaeriales (177 MYA), Cancellidiales (137 MYA), Ceratolentales (147 MYA), Conlariales (138 MYA) and Rhamphoriales (133 MYA) and six new families, Aquapteridosporaceae (110 MYA), Cancellidiaceae (137 MYA), Ceratolentaceae (81 MYA), Bullimycetaceae (81 MYA), Phialemoniopsaceae (59 MYA), and Pseudostanjehughesiaceae (111 MYA) are introduced with evidence from phylogenies, divergence estimates and distinct morphologies. Of these families, Aquapteridosporaceae, Cancellidiaceae, Bullimycetaceae, and Pseudostanjehughesiaceae are only known from freshwater.
... Multicellites was considered by Martínez et al. (2016) as similar in shape to Dendryphiopsis, a plant decaying fungal species. Additionally, the material recovered here is similar to the conidia of the ascomycete Sporoschisma juvenile (Zelski et al., 2014) that is also considered to be a decaying fungal species found in freshwater habitats. ...

The deposits of the Serra da Galga Member, Marília Formation (Bauru Group), in Uberaba, state of Minas Gerais, Brazil, provided a rich fauna of vertebrates of Maastrichtian age. Despite the great faunistic diversity, the plant material recorded so far in these deposits is scarce. Together with the vertebrate remains, a relatively large number of coprolites has been reported for at least two localities in Uberaba, but this material received little attention so far. In this work, we present the first record of palynomorphs found within some coprolites from the Peirópolis and Serra da Galga sites. Monoporate, ephedroid, Gnetaceaepollenites?, Monosulcites?, and Podocarpidites pollen types were found. This pollen set shows that the flora was composed of shrubs (probably Gnetophyta), arboreal conifers, and cycads that lived under arid climate conditions. Moreover, saprophytic fungal remains were found within a few coprolites, representing the first record of this kind for the Bauru Group deposits in Minas Gerais.
... e first published studies of freshwater fungi in Amazonian waters (Peru) were conducted by Matsushima in white water rivers [19]. More recent studies have described new species of ascomycetes in the Peruvian Amazon [20][21][22][23][24] and in the Brazilian states of Pará [25,26] and Amazonas [27,28]. In general, the microbial community of the Amazon region is still underexplored, and studies describing the diversity and ecology of fungi in the Amazon region are urgently needed. ...
... e structures found were transferred, with dissection needles, to microscope slides containing distilled water. e identification of sexual ascomycetes was performed based on the micromorphology of ascomata, hamathecium, asci, and ascospores using an Axioskop 40 microscope (Zeiss) as described previously [22,29,30]. Aqueous lactophenol cotton blue solution was used to determine the staining reactions of the apical ascus apparatus. ...
... Asexual ascomycetes were identified by investigating the types of conidiogenesis, conidiophore, and conidia, using an Axioskop 40 microscope (Zeiss). Isolation of fungal was carried out by transferring the fungal structures to the surface of Antibiotic Water Agar (20 g/L agar and chloramphenicol 250 mg/L), Potato Dextrose Agar (PDA) (Kasvi), and Malt Extract Agar (MEA) (malt extract 30 g/L, mycological peptone 5g/L and 15g/L agar, pH 5.4 ± 0.2). e developed colonies were transferred to PYG agar (1.25 g/L peptone, 1.25 g/L yeast extract, 5 g/L glucose, 250 mg/L chloramphenicol, and 18 g/L agar) [22] (Figures 2(d)-2(g)). ...
Aquatic ecosystems in tropical forests have a high diversity of microorganisms, including fungi, which are important decomposers of submerged wood. Despite the importance of their role in decomposition, research concerning the diversity of freshwater fungi from Brazilian Amazonian environments is scarce. The aim of this work was to describe the composition and diversity of fungi present on submerged wood in two lakes of the Brazilian Amazon (State of Pará). Fragments of decaying wood (30 samples per lake) were collected from the Lakes Juá and Maicá. The wood samples were inspected for 6 months in the presence of fungal reproductive structures. Fungi observed in the wood were identified morphologically. Twenty-three taxa were identified in the Lake Juá (10 sexual and 13 asexual) and 26 taxa in the Lake Maicá (17 sexual, 9 asexual). ITS sequences were obtained for 14 taxa to aid in identification. In the Lakes Juá and Maicá, the diversity indices were H': 2.6514 and H': 2.8174, respectively. The Sørensen index of the fungal communities in the studied lakes was 0.3673. This study is the first to describe the fungal biodiversity of two important aquatic environments in Pará, Brazil.

Sordariomycetes is one of the largest classes of Ascomycota that comprises a highly diverse range of fungi mainly characterized by perithecial ascomata and inoperculate unitunicate asci. Freshwater Sordariomycetes play an important role in ecosystems and some of them have the potential to produce bioactive compounds. This study documents and reviews the freshwater Sordariomycetes, which is one of the largest and important groups of fungi in aquatic habitats. Based on evidence from DNA sequence data and morphology, we introduce a new order Distoseptisporales, two new families, viz. Ceratosphaeriaceae and Triadelphiaceae, three new genera, viz. Aquafiliformis, Dematiosporium and Neospadicoides, 47 new species, viz.

A comprehensive classification of the freshwater Sordariomycetes is presented based on updated literature. Phylogenetic inferences based on DNA sequence analyses of a combined LSU, SSU, RPB2 and TEF1α dataset comprising species of freshwater Sordariomycetes are provided. Detailed information including their habitats distribution, diversity, holotype, specimens collected and classification are provided.
... Melanochaeta and Sporoschisma were proven to be congeneric (Sivichai et al. 2000, Fernández et al. 2006). In considering the rules of "one fungus one name" and priority in nomenclature ( Réblová et al. 2016), the sexual name M. hemipsila was replaced by Sporoschisma hemipsilum (Zelski et al., 2014, as "hemipsila"). The name of its asexual morph, S. saccardoi, was therefore put into synonymy ( Zelski et al. 2014), since the basionym Sphaeria hemipsila predates. ...

The aim of this study was to investigate the species of conidial fungi associated with leaf litter of Cedrela odorata (Meliaceae), an endangered red cedar species typical of Amazonian terra-firme forests. Conidial fungi were sampled around C. odorata individuals in three forest areas in the municipality of Belém (Pará State, Brazil). A total of 104 species were identified, with 53 new records for the state of Pará, 46 first records for the Brazilian Amazon, including new records for Brazil (Cordana abramovii), for South America (Acarocybiopsis cubitaensis, Xylocladium claviforme) and for the Americas (Dactylaria biguttulata). A review of species of conidial fungi reported on C. odorata is provided, indicating its distribution in Brazil. For each new record in Brazil, South America and the Americas we present a description, illustrations, geographical distribution and taxonomic comments. © 2018, Instituto Nacional de Pesquisas da Amazonia.
