Freshwater fungi comprises a highly diverse group of organisms occurring in freshwater habitats throughout the world. During a survey of freshwater fungi on submerged wood in streams and lakes, a wide range of sexual and asexual species were collected mainly from karst regions in China and Thailand. Phylogenetic inferences using partial gene regions of LSU, ITS, SSU, TEF1α, and RPB2 sequences revealed that most of these fungi belonged to Dothideomycetes and Sordariomycetes and a few were related to Eurotiomycetes. Based on the morphology and multi-gene phylogeny, we introduce four new genera, viz. Aquabispora, Neocirrenalia, Ocellisimilis and Uvarisporella, and 47 new species, viz. Acrodictys chishuiensis, A. effusa, A. pyriformis, Actinocladium aquaticum, Annulatascus tratensis, Aquabispora setosa, Aqualignicola setosa, Aquimassariosphaeria vermiformis, Ceratosphaeria flava, Chaetosphaeria polygonalis, Conlarium muriforme, Digitodesmium chishuiense, Ellisembia aquirostrata, Fuscosporella atrobrunnea, Halobyssothecium aquifusiforme, H. caohaiense, Hongkongmyces aquisetosus, Kirschsteiniothelia dushanensis, Monilochaetes alsophilae, Mycoenterolobium macrosporum, Myrmecridium splendidum, Neohelicascus griseoflavus, Neohelicomyces denticulatus, Neohelicosporium fluviatile, Neokalmusia aquibrunnea, Neomassariosphaeria aquimucosa, Neomyrmecridium naviculare, Neospadicoides biseptata, Ocellisimilis clavata, Ophioceras thailandense, Paragaeumannomyces aquaticus, Phialoturbella aquilunata, Pleurohelicosporium hyalinum, Pseudodactylaria denticulata, P. longidenticulata, P. uniseptata, Pseudohalonectria aurantiaca, Rhamphoriopsis aquimicrospora, Setoseptoria bambusae, Shrungabeeja fluviatilis, Sporidesmium tratense, S. versicolor, Sporoschisma atroviride, Stanjehughesia aquatica, Thysanorea amniculi, Uvarisporella aquatica and Xylolentia aseptata, with an illustrated account, discussion of their taxonomic placement and comparison with morphological similar taxa. Seven new combinations are introduced, viz. Aquabispora grandispora (≡ Boerlagiomyces grandisporus), A. websteri (≡ Boerlagiomyces websteri), Ceratosphaeria suthepensis (≡ Pseudohalonectria suthepensis), Gamsomyces aquaticus (≡ Pseudobactrodesmium aquaticum), G. malabaricus (≡ Gangliostilbe malabarica), Neocirrenalia nigrospora (≡ Cirrenalia nigrospora), and Rhamphoriopsis glauca (≡ Chloridium glaucum). Ten new geographical records are reported in China and Thailand and nine species are first reported from freshwater habitats. Reference specimens are provided for Diplocladiella scalaroides and Neocirrenalia nigrospora (≡ Cirrenalia nigrospora).

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.

The Bronze Age and Early Iron Age saw many developments in metalworking, social structure, food production, nutrition, and diet. At the same time, networks in Europe intensified and human impact on the environment changed in character. What influence did these transformations have on daily life? Which proxies can researchers use to study these topics? This volume presents scientific contributions from different fields of expertise within modern archaeology in order to investigate past living conditions through aspects of the archaeological record related to production (e.g. of food and metal), well-being (e.g. diet, health), human relations (e.g. violence), and the local environment (e.g. pollution, waste disposal, and water management). It also critically addresses contemporary graphic representations of Bronze Age living conditions. This volume compiles papers from a session with the same title organized for an international open workshop of the Graduate School ‘Human Development in Landscapes’, entitled ‘Socio-Environmental Dynamics over the Last 12,000 Years: The Development of Landscapes IV’, which took place in 2017, in Kiel, Germany. Publications detailing overarching core research on subsistence systems, societal transformations, and resilience versus rupture dynamics already exist. With this volume, we aim to provide a closer look at everyday life in past communities.

To highlight the potential of non-pollen palynomorphs as an additional source of information within archaeological contexts, palynological samples from settlement layers of the Hünenburg hillfort-settlement complex were analyzed. In addition, some new non-pollen palynomorph types, mostly fungal spores, are described, illustrated, and discussed. The study provides new on-site data relating to the living conditions during the Late Bronze Age/Early Iron Age. Samples taken from the horizons of two superimposed pits show microscopic evidence for stockpiling, plant processing, waste management, and hygienic conditions within the settlement area, whereas samples taken from the ancient watercourse deposits provide insights into local land use, water quality, and fire management.
... Therefore, Boonyuen et al. (2011) established the order Savoryellales to accommodate these genera. The family Savoryellaceae was subsequently erected by Jaklitsch & Réblová (2015) and this treatment was followed by Jones et al. (2015Jones et al. ( , 2016 and Maharachchikumbura et al.

... Savoryella species occur on decaying wood or substrates submerged in freshwater, marine and brackish water habitats, and are currently represented by eleven species that include five marine and six freshwater species (Jones & Eaton 1969, Minoura & Muroi 1978, Koch 1982, Hyde & Goh 1998, Jones & Hyde 1992, Hyde 1993, 1994, Ho et al. 1997, 2002, Hyde & Jones 1998, Abdel-Wahab & Jones 2000, Jones et al. 2016, Dayarathne et al. 2019. Members of Savoryella are characterized by immersed to superficial ascomata, papillate, periphysate, clavate to cylindrical, unitunicate asci with a nonamyloid apical thickening containing a pore, and ellipsoidal, 3-septate ascospores with brown central cells and hyaline polar end cells (Boonyuen et al. 2011). ...

Two asexual trichocladium-like species were recorded from coastlines in Japan and Thailand. Phylogenetic analysis of multi-gene sequence data placed them in Savoryella (Savoryellaceae), grouping with an unidentified strain isolated from submerged wood in a saline environment, but distinct from other Savoryella species. In this paper, we propose a new combination as Savoryella nypae based on Trichocladium nypae and a new species Savoryella sarushimana. Savoryella sarushimana differs from S. nypae in having larger conidial dimensions, with a rough to spiny surface and the proliferation of conidia. Detail morphological features coupled with sporulation in culture of the new taxa are illustrated. Notes on the phylogenetic placement of the discussed taxa and emendation of the genus Savoryella are provided.

Morpho-molecular and molecular clock analyses were conducted on Savoryellaceae in order to understand the placements of taxa in this family. Ascotaiwania and Neoascotaiwania formed a well-supported monophyletic clade in the phylogenetic analyses of concatenated partial 18S rDNA, 28S rDNA, transcription elongation factor 1-α and RNA polymerase II gene data. These two genera share similar morphological features, especially in their asexual morphs, indicating that they are congeneric. Hence, we synonymize Neoascotaiwania under Ascotaiwania. Ascotaiwania hughesii (and its asexual morph, Helicoon farinosum) and Monotosporella setosa grouped in a clade sister to Pleurotheciales and are excluded from Ascotaiwania which becomes monophyletic. A novel genus Helicoascotaiwania is introduced to accommodate Ascotaiwania hughesii and its asexual morph, Helicoon farinosum. A novel species, Savoryella yunnanensis is introduced from a freshwater habitat in Yunnan Province, China. Comprehensive descriptions and morphographs are provided for taxa in this family. In addition, we provide evolutionary divergence estimates for Savoryellomycetidae taxa and major marine based taxa to support our phylogenetic and morphological investigations. The taxonomic placement of these marine-based taxa is briefly discussed. Our results indicate that the most basal group of marine-based taxa are represented within Lulworthiales, which diverged from ancestral Sordariomycetes around 149 MYA (91–209) and Savoryellomycetidae around 213 MYA (198–303)
... The combined three loci ( obtained from the MP, ML and BI analysis showed very similar topology, except for minor differences within the Hypocreales (data not shown). All major taxonomic clades in the MP tree yielded the same topology as in previous studies based on multiplegene phylogeny (Boonyuen et al. 2011R eblov a et al. 2012, 2016bJones et al. 2016;Yang et al. 2016). The Conioscypha clade comprised six species: C. japonica, C. lignicola (type species), C. minutispora, C. nakagirii, C. peruensis and C. varia and is a sister group to two strains of C. nakagirii with strong statistical supported (99% BSMP, 100% BSML and 1.00 BIPP). ...

Conioscypha nakagirii, a novel fungus, is described and illustrated from decaying submerged wood collected in a small stream in Pak Chong District, Nakhon Ratchasima Province, Thailand. Morphologically, it differs from known Conioscypha species and similar taxa in that it has large, turbinate to pyriform, black and smooth-walled conidia. Phylogenetic analysis of three loci (nuc 18S and nuc 28S, and RPB2) supports a placement of this taxon as a new species in Conioscypha (Conioscyphales, Hypocreomycetidae, Sordariomycetes), as a sister group to a clade including C. lignicola, C. japonica, C. varia and C. peruensis, and shares some morphological characteristics with C. fabiformis and C. taiwaniana. Both morphological and molecular evidence justifies the introduction of the new species, C. nakagirii.
