Abstract and Figures

In this study, fungal specimens of the family Diatrypaceae were collected from karst areas in Guizhou, Hainan and Yunnan Provinces, China. Morpho-molecular analyses confirmed that these new collections comprise a new genus Pseudodiatrype , three new species ( Diatrype lancangensis , Diatrypella pseudooregonensis and Eutypa cerasi ), a new combination ( Diatrypella oregonensis ), two new records ( Allodiatrype thailandica and Diatrypella vulgaris ) from China and two other known species ( Neoeutypella baoshanensis and Paraeutypella citricola ). The new taxa are introduced, based on multi-gene phylogenetic analyses (ITS, β-tubulin), as well as morphological analyses. The new genus Pseudodiatrype is characterised by its wart-like stromata with 5–20 ascomata immersed in one stroma and the endostroma composed of thin black outer and inner layers of large white cells with thin, powdery, yellowish cells. These characteristics separate this genus from two similar genera Allodiatrype and Diatrype . Based on morphological as well as phylogenetic analyses, Diatrype lancangensis is introduced as a new species of Diatrype . The stromata of Diatrype lancangensis are similar to those of D. subundulata and D. undulate , but the ascospores are larger. Based on phylogenetic analyses, Diatrype oregonensis is transferred to the genus Diatrypella as Diatrypella oregonensis while Diatrypella pseudooregonensis is introduced as a new species of Diatrypella with 8 spores in an ascus. In addition, multi-gene phylogenetic analyses show that Eutypa cerasi is closely related to E. lata , but the ascomata and asci of Eutypa cerasi are smaller. The polyphyletic nature of some genera of Diatrypaceae has led to confusion in the classification of the family, thus we discuss whether the number of ascospores per asci can still be used as a basis for classification.

Introduction
Diatrypaceae is an important family of higher ascomycetes, belonging to Xylariales
(Maharachchikumbura et al. 2016). In the latest compilation, Hyde et al. (2020a) re-
vised the family Diatrypaceae and included several new genera (i.e. Allodiatrype Konta
& K.D. Hyde, Halocryptovalsa Dayar. & K.D. Hyde and Neoeutypella M. Raza et al.).
is was followed by Wijayawardene et al. (2020) in which 20 genera were accepted
into Diatrypaceae. e Diatrypaceae is characterised by perithecial ascomata embed-
ded in a poor or well-developed, brown or black-coloured stroma, long-stalked and
8-spored or numerous-spored asci and allantoid, unicellular ascospores (Glawe and
Rogers 1984; Rappaz 1987; Mehrabi et al. 2015; de Almeida et al. 2016).
Members of Diatrypaceae occur on a wide range of hosts in terrestrial and marine
environments worldwide, some of which are important plant pathogens (Moyo et al.
2018a; Mehrabi et al. 2019; Dayarathne et al. 2020; Konta et al. 2020). For many dec-
ades, canker diseases on grapevine have been attributed to the species of Diatrypaceae
worldwide, for example in China Cryptovalsa Ces. & De Not., Cryptosphaeria Ces.
& De Not, Diatrype Fr., Diatrypella (Ces. & De Not.) De Not., Eutypa Tul. & C.
Tul. And Eutypella (Nitschke) Sacc., are responsible for canker diseases in grapevine
(Trouillas et al. 2011; Gao et al. 2013; Moyo et al. 2018b). Besides cankers of grape-
vine, some species have been reported as the causal pathogentic agents of fruit trees and
woody plants in Europe and the USA (Trouillas et al. 2011; Gao et al. 2013).
irteen species of Cryptosphaeria and Diatrype were introduced by Vasiljeva and
Ma (2014) from north-eastern China, which includes two new species and four new
records. China has the largest range of karst distribution in the world. e landform
of karst can be found in almost all Provinces of China, with the most extensive distri-
bution in Guizhou and Yunnan Provinces (Miao et al. 2007). Karst virgin forest is a
relatively stable ecosystem with rich biological resources, highly primitive and main-
taining stable biological diversity (Dong et al. 2002). e special karst and ecological
environment is home to a rich diversity of diatrypaceous fungi.
New contributions to Diatrypaceae 3
In this study, we revisit species of Diatrypaceae collected from karst areas in
Guizhou, Hainan and Yunnan Provinces of China. Based on morpho-molecular analy-
ses, one new genus and three new species are introduced; in addition, a new combina-
tion and two new records from China are reported. Descriptions and illustrations of
new taxa and new records are provided.
Materials and Methods
Fungi collection, isolation and identification
Samples of decaying wood were collected from October 2019 to November 2020 in
forests and nature reserves of Guizhou, Hainan and Yunnan Provinces in China. e
specimens were observed with a stereomicroscope while microscopic images of the
samples were taken using a Nikon ECLIPSE Ni compound microscope, with a Canon
EOS 700D digital camera. Measurements were taken with Tarosoft (R) Image Frame
Work (v.0.9.7). More than 30 asci and ascospores were measured for each specimen
examined. Photoplates were arranged and improved by using Adobe Photoshop CS6
software. Isolations of fungi were made by single spore isolation (Chomnunti et al.
2014) and germinated spores were transferred to potato dextrose agar (PDA) medium
for purication. e specimens were deposited at the Herbarium of Cryptogams, Kun-
ming Institute of Botany Academia Sinica (KUN-HKAS) and Herbarium of Guizhou
Medical University (GMB). Strains of the new genus and new species are maintained
in the Guizhou Medical University Collection Centre (GMBC).
DNA extraction, Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) and phylogenetic analyses
Genomic DNA was extracted from fungal mycelium following the manufacturer’s
protocol of the BIOMIGA Fungal gDNA isolation Kit (BIOMIGA, Hangzhou City,
Zhejiang Province, China). Extracts of DNA were stored at –20 °C.
PCR was carried out in a volume of 25 µl containing 9.5 µl of ddH2O, 12.5 µl of 2×
Taq PCR Master Mix (2 × Taq Master Mix with dye, TIANGEN, China), 1 µl of DNA
extracts and 1 µl of forward and reverse primers (10 µM each) in each reaction. Primers
pairs, ITS4 and ITS5, fRPB2-7CR and fRPB2-5f, LROR and LR5, T1 and Bt2b, as
well as Bt2a and Bt2b (Vilgalys and Hester 1990; White et al. 1990; Glass and Don-
aldson 1995; O’Donnell and Cigelnik 1997), were used to amplify internal transcribed
spacer (ITS) sequences, RNA polymerase II second largest subunit (RPB2) sequences,
large subunit ribosomal (LSU) sequences and β-tubulin (TUB2) sequences, respectively.
PCR proles for the ITS and LSU are as follows: initially at 95 °C for 5 minutes,
followed by 35 cycles of denaturation at 94 °C for 1 minute, annealing at 52 °C for 1
minute, elongation at 72 °C for 1.5 minutes and a nal extension at 72 °C for 10 min-
utes. PCR prole for the RPB2 is as follows: initially at 95 °C for 5 minutes, followed
by 35 cycles of denaturation at 95 °C for 1 minute, annealing at 54 °C for 2 minutes,

Phylogenetic analyses
Phylogenetic analyses were performed by searching homologous sequence data of the
family Diatrypaceae in the GenBank database, selected from NCBI and recently pub-

nayake et al. 2021; Zhu et al. 2021). After the preliminary identication results of the
sequences, multiple sequence alignments (ITS and β-tubulin) were aligned using Bi-
oEdit v. 7.0 (Hall 1999). Alignments were converted from FASTA to PHYLIP format
by using Alignment Transformation Environment online (https://sing.ei.uvigo.es/AL-
TER/, Glez-Peña et al. 2010). Maximum Likelihood (ML) analyses and Bayesian pos-
terior probabilities (BYPP) were performed by using RAxML-HPC BlackBox (8.2.12)
and MrBayes on XSEDE (3.2.7a) tools in the CIPRES Science Gateway platform,
based on a combination of ITS and TUB2 sequence data (Miller et al. 2010). Both of
the two methods use the GTR+I+G model of evolution (Nylander 2004). e Boot-
strap supports of ML analyses were obtained by running 1,000 pseudo-replicates and
BYPP using a simulation technique called Markov chain Monte Carlo (or MCMC)
to approximate the posterior probabilities of trees. Six simultaneous Markov Chains
were run for 3,000,000 generations and trees were sampled every 1,000th generation.
Finally, the tree was visualised in FigTree v.1.4.4 (Rambaut 2012) and edited by us-
ing Adobe Photoshop CS6 software. e nal alignment and phylogenetic trees were
deposited in TreeBASE under the submission ID28176 (http://www.treebase.org/)
Result
Phylogenetic analyses
Based on RAxML and BYPP analyses, phylogenetic analyses were similar in overall
tree topologies and did not dier signicantly. e dataset consists of 105 taxa for
representative strains of species in Diatrypaceae, including outgroup taxa with 1071
characters, including gaps (ITS: 1–486, β-tubulin: 486–1071). e RAxML analyses
resulted in a best scoring likelihood tree selected with a nal ML optimisation likeli-
hood value of -15731.506304, which is shown in Fig. 1.
e phylogenetic tree, based on combining ITS and β-tubulin sequence data, is
also shown in Fig. 1 and contains 17 clades within Diatrypaceae. Below, we list the
placements of new taxa:

Clade 1: Diatrypella pseudooregonensis and Diatrypella oregonensis clustered with the
species of Diatrypella in Clade 1 with high bootstrap support, Diatrypella pseu-
dooregonensis is introduced as an 8-spored new species of Diatrypella and Diatrype
oregonensis is renamed as Diatrypella oregonensis.
Clade 4: Pseudodiatrype formed a separate branch in a clade (Clade 4) basal to the
genus Allodiatrype.
Clade 7: Diatrype lancangensis clusters with the species of Diatrypella and Diatrype in
an unresolved clade. However, Diatrype and Diatrypella have previously shown
confused classication which is dicult to distinguish, based on phylogenetic
aspects alone. erefore, we introduce Diatrype lancangensis as a new species of
Diatrype, based on phylogenetic analyses and morphological dierences (Table 2).
Clade 8: Eutypa cerasi forms a distinct lineage which is sister to Eutypa lata (EP18,
RGA01) (Fig. 1).
Taxonomy
Diatrype Fr.
Notes. The genus Diatrype was introduced by Fries (1849). The genus is
characterised by stromata widely effuse or verrucose, flat or slightly convex, with
discoid or sulcate ostioles at the surface, 8-spored and long-stalked asci and hyaline
or brownish, allantoid ascospores. In this study, we introduce a new species of
Diatrype from China.

Note. Our new strain, GMBC0045 falls into the unresolved clade (Clade 7) which
comprises ve Diatrypella and one Diatrype species (Fig. 1), this clade is consistent with
the study of Konta et al. (2020). e taxonomic confusion of Diatrypaceae has led to
diculties in separating the genera. We consider that the new species belongs to the
genus Diatrype, based on the stromata features mentioned above which closely resemble
descriptions of Diatrype subundulata Lar. N. Vassiljeva & Hai X. Ma and Diatrype undu-

lata (Pers.) Fr. (Vasilyeva et al. 2014). However, the ascospores of these species are larger
than the ascospores of D. subundulata and D. undulata (Table 2). Phylogenetic analyses
also showed that D. lancangensis falls on a separate branch that clustered with species of
Diatrypella and Diatrype (Fig. 1). Hence, by combining morphological characteristics
and phylogenetic analyses, it seems appropriate to categorise this species as Diatrype.
In the phylogenetic analyses, it can be seen that Clade 7 can be dened as a new
genus, but it is dicult to nd the common morphological similarities among these
species. More specimens and sequence or chemical composition analysis are needed
in the future to determine whether Clade 7 can be a new genus. e characteristics of
the stromata of Diatrypella spp. in clade 7 are solitary and scattered, which is distinctly
dierent from widely euse, at and slightly convex stromata of Diatrype lancangensis
and Diatrype palmicola (Liu et al. 2015; Hyde et al. 2020b; Zhu et al. 2021). And in
the recent study, Zhu et al. (2021) proposed that the species of Diatrypella in Clade 7
were isolated from Betula spp., it may have host specicity. Because of the above two
reasons, we think it is better to classify our strains into Diatrype.

Etymology. Refers to this genus resembling Diatrype in morphology, but it is phylo-
genetically distinct.
Type species. Pseudodiatrype hainanensis S. H. Long & Q.R. Li sp. nov.
Description. Saprobic on decaying branches of an unidentied plant. Sexual
morph: Stromata scattered or aggregated on host, wart-like, pustulate, visible as black,
rounded to irregular in shape on host surface, erumpent through host bark, 5–20
ascomata immersed in one stroma. Endostroma consists of outer layer of black, small,
dense, thin parenchymal cells and inner layer of white, large, loose parenchymal cells,
thin, pale yellow, powdery near margin of the black cells. Ostiole opening through
host bark and appearing as black spots, separately, papillate or apapillate, central. Peri-
thecium immersed in stroma, globose to subglobose, glabrous, with cylindrical neck,
brevicollous or longicollous. Peridium is composed of an outer layer of dark brown to
black, thin-walled cells, arranged in textura angularis, the inner layer of hyaline thin-
walled cells of textura angularis. Asci 8-spored, unitunicate, clavate, long-stalked, api-
cally rounded, apical rings inamyloid. Ascospores irregularly arranged, allantoid, slightly
or moderately curved, smooth, subhyaline, aseptate, usually with two oil droplets.
Asexual morph: undetermined.
Note. e genus Pseudodiatrype is introduced to accommodate the new collec-
tion made from Hainan Province of China and typied by Pseudodiatrype hainanensis.
Pseudodiatrype is monotypic and, morphologically, resembles Diatrype and Allodiatrype
Konta & K.D. Hyde. However, Pseudodiatrype can be distinguished from Diatrype by
its 5–20 ascomata immersed in a stroma, while the stroma of species of Diatrype is

distributed over large areas, sometimes covering the surface of the host (Vasilyeva and
Ma 2014; Konta et al. 2020). Pseudodiatrype diers from Alloiatrype by having its 5–20
ascomata immersed in a stroma, whereas the stroma of Allodiatrype has only 1–10
ascomata. Moreover, the endostroma of Allodiatrype is composed of dark brown outer
layer cells and yellow inner layer cells (Konta et al. 2020), which are dierent from the
endostroma of Pseudodiatrype having black outer and inner cells surrounded by pow-
dery, pale yellow cells. In addition, the sizes of stroma and ascospores are dierent from
species of Diatrype and Allodiatrype (Table 2). In the phylogenetic analyses, species of
Pseudodiatrype appeared in a separate branch which is distinct from other genera with-
in Diatrypaceae (Fig. 1), thus, justifying the erection of the new genus Pseudodiatrype.

Notes. e genus Diatrypella was introduced by Cesati & De Notaris (1863) and was
typied with Diatrypella verruciformis (Ehrh.) Nitschke. is genus was characterized
by pustule-like stromata erumpent through the host surface, polysporous asci and al-
lantoid ascospores and libertella-like asexual morphs (Senanayake et al. 2015; Hyde et
al. 2017; Shang et al. 2017). In this study, we introduce a new species, a new combina-
tion and a new record of Diatrypella vulgaris from Guizhou Province for China.

Note. Morphologically, Diatrype has 8 ascospores in a single ascus, while Dia-
trypella has more than eight ascospores in each ascus (Senanayake et al. 2015). How-
ever, previous research (e.g. Acero et al. 2004 and Trouillas et al. 2011) suggested that
both Diatrypella and Diatrype are polyphyletic within the family. In the phylogenetic
analyses, Diatrypella pseudooregonensis grouped closely to the D. verruciformis and thus,
we consider this new species to belong in the genus Diatrypella, because it is doubtful
whether the number of ascospores per asci is useful as a basis for generic classication.

Note. e comparison of ITS sequences in NCBI showed that this isolate is 100%
similar to the strain of Diatrypella vulgaris (HVGRF03), isolated from holotype speci-
mens. Morphologically, GMB0051 shows the same features as Diatrypella vulgaris. e
stromata of these specimens are similar, but ascospores of GMB0051 are thinner than
those of the HVGRF03 (8–10 × 2–2.5 µm) and, when compared with the ascospores
of strain MFLUCC 17-0128 (4.5–7.5 × 1–2 µm), they are shorter than GMB0051
(Trouillas et al. 2011; Hyde et al. 2017). Here, we use the ITS sequence similarity
between the new collection and the type strain of Diatrypella vulgaris as the identica-
tion tool. Diatrypella vulgaris has been reported in Austria and ailand (Trouillas et
al. 2011, Hyde et al. 2017). is is the rst report of Diatrypella vulgaris from China.

in 1930 as Eutypella oregonensis (Kauman 1930). No available sequences from type
material were found. After re-examination of holotype specimen of Diatrype oregonen-
sis, Trouillas et al. (2010) introduced two strains of Diatrype oregonensis (DPL200 and
CA117). Although neither of these strains are ex-type, they are, the most authoritative
strains. Here, we tentatively transfer Diatrype oregonensis to Diatrypella as Diatrypella
oregonensis, based on the phylogenetic analyses (Fig. 1). Diatrypella oregonensis is simi-
lar to D. pseudooregonensis in having 8-spored asci (Rappaz 1987; Trouillas et al. 2011).
Nevertheless, we consider that the number of ascospores as a basis for distinguishing
Diatrypella from Diatrype is not useful.

Notes. Eutypa lata is an important pathogen that has a wide range of hosts.
However, the classication of E. lata is confusing because there are many variants
in previous studies; now all are classied as E. lata (Index Fungorum 2020).
Morphologically, the new collection GMB0048 has similar stromata with Eutypa
lata, but the ascomata of the new collection are smaller than the ascomata (400
µm diam.) of the original description of E. lata (Tulasne & Tulasne, 1863). e
ascomata and asci of the new collection are smaller than the ascomata (400–600 µm
diam.) and asci (110–180 × 5–7 µm) of the description of E. lata (Rappaz 1987).
Additionally, in the phylogenetic analyses, E. cerasi is located on a branch that forms
a sister clade with EP18 and RGA01 and CBS 290.87 basal to E. cerasi. erefore,
combining phylogenetic and morphological analyses, we introduce Eutypa cerasi as
a new species of Eutypa.

morphological features of the new collection are consistent with those described by
Dissanayake et al. (2021). is collection is identied as a P. citricolca, based on mor-
phological and molecular data.
Discussion
In this study, one new genus, three new species, two new records from China, a novel
combination and two known species were reported from karst areas of China. We used
molecular data to delimit the species of Diatrypaceae. e new genus Pseudodiatrype
is morphologically similar to Allodiatrype and Diatrype, but distinct in the size of stro-
mata, number of ascomata and colour of endostroma; it also formed a distinct branch
in the phylogenetic analyses (Fig. 1). Diatrype oregonensis was transferred to Diatrypella
oregonensis based on the phylogenetic analyses. Based on phylogenetic analyses, Dia-
trypella pseudooregonensis was introduced as an 8-spored species of Diatrypella.

Our phylogenetic analyses, based on ITS and β-tubulin, agree with the previous
studies (Acero et al. 2004; Trouillas et al. 2011; Mehrabi et al. 2015, 2016; de Almeida
et al. 2016; Shang et al. 2017; Dissanayake et al. 2021; Zhu et al. 2021). However,
several genera are not monophyletic;for example, Cryptosphaeria, Diatrype, Diatrypella,
and Eutypa. e identication of species of Diatrypaceae has been a problem due
to the polyphyletic generic concepts based on the features of the stromata in early
research (Fries 1823). Recently, new approaches have been proposed for classifying
Diatrypaceae. Acero et al. (2004) proposed to classify them by ITS sequence-based
phylogenetic analyses, while Carmarán et al. (2006) suggested that the identication
should be based on the morphology of the asci. However, due to the lack of type speci-
mens, the lack of β-tubulin sequence and polyphyletic origins have resulted in molecu-
lar data that correlate poorly with morphological criteria used to delineate genera and
species within the Diatrypaceae (Acero et al. 2004). Moreover, Acero et al. (2004) has
mentioned that Diatrypella quercina should be placed in the genus Diatrype despite its
polysporous asci since the molecular data placed Diatrypella quercina in the branch of
the genus Diatrype.
Diatrype and Diatrypella have morphologically similar verruculose stromata and
allantoid ascospores and the polysporous or 8-spored ascus serve as a basis for dis-
tinguishing the two genera. However, in phylogenetic analyses, species of these two
genera overlap. In this study, we used the phylogenetic analyses as the main basis for
classication following Vasilyeva and Stephenson (2005) and Liu et al. (2015). Clade
1 contains Diatrypella verruciformis which is the type species of Diatrypella, of which
Diatrypella pseudooregonensis, Diatrypella oregonensis have 8-spored, and other species
in clade 1 have polyspored ascus. Clade 12 contains the Diatrype type species Diatrype
disciformis, of which Diatrype iranensis and Diatrype macrospora have polyspored as-
cus, and other species in clade 12 have 8-spored ascus. Hence, we concluded that the
number of ascospores in each ascus cannot be used as a criterion for distinguishing
Diatrypella from Diatrype.
e phylogenetic tree shows that the classication of Diatrypaceae is confusing.
Members of Diatrypella (D. favacea, D. hubeiensis, D. pulvinata and D. yunnanensis)
cluster with Diatrype palmicola and Diatrype lancangensis.Maybe this clade should be
identied as a new genus. We will discuss its classication status after more strains, more
gene sequences and new taxonomic features are collected. Some species of Diatrypella
(D. iranensis and D. macrospora) which have polysporous ascus are placed between spe-
cies of Diatrype, and they are transferred to Diatrype iranensis and Diatrype macrospora
by Zhu et al. (Zhu et al. 2021). Diatrype enteroxantha is often derived from the sister
clade of Allodiatrype rather than the Diatrype clade. Additionally, Eutypa microasca
(BAFC51550) clusters with Peroneutypa species (Clade 17). e above-mentioned
confusion also showed in the original publication and other recent studies (Grassi et
al. 2014; Mehrabi et al. 2016; Shang et al. 2018; Hyde et al. 2019; Phookamsak et al.
2019; Konta et al. 2020). erefore, addressing the taxonomic confusion of this family
requires a re-examination of older taxa, based on morphological studies, epitypication
and multi-gene phylogenetic analyses (Ariyawansa et al. 2014).

In this study, we investigated the diversity of diatrypaceous fungi from southeastern Tibet in China. The phylogenetic analyses were carried out based on ITS and β-tubulin sequences of 75 taxa of Diatrypaceae from around the world. Based on a combination of morphological features and molecular evidence, a new genus-Alloeutypa, with three new species-A. milinensis, Diatrype linzhiensis, and Eutypella motuoensis, and a new combination-A. flavovirens, were revealed by the materials in China. Alloeutypa is characterized by stromatal interior olivaceous buff, stromata producing well-developed discrete, and ascospores allantoid, subhyaline. These characteristics separate the new genus from the similar genus Eutypa. Comprehensive morphological descriptions, illustrations, and a phylogenetic tree to show the placement of new taxa are provided. All novelties described herein are morphologically illustrated and phylogeny investigated to better integrate taxa into the higher taxonomic framework and infer their phylogenetic relationships as well as establish new genera and species. Our results indicate that the diatrypaceous fungi harbor higher species diversity in China.
... Diatrypaceae Nitschke, an important family of Xylariales, was introduced by Nitschke (1869) with Diatrype Fr. as the type genus [1][2][3]. Members of Diatrypaceae are world-wide in distribution, and, some species parasitize plants and cause plant diseases, which are plant pathogens [4][5][6][7][8][9][10][11]. ...

The known distribution of Diatrype covers Asia, Europe, North America, Oceania and South Africa [3,5,6,[11][12][13][14][15][16][17][18]. Traditionally, the genus is characterised by stromata widely effuse or verrucose, flat or slightly convex, with discoid or sulcate ostioles at the surface, eight-spored and long-stalked asci and hyaline or brownish, allantoid ascospores [3,[19][20][21]. ...

Two new species of Diatrype collected in northeast China are described and illustrated based on morphological and molecular evidence. Diatrype larissae from Heilongjiang Province is characterised by having 3–6 perithecia in a stroma, asci polysporous, ascospores allantoid, aseptate, slightly or moderately curved, subhyaline. Diatrype betulaceicola from Inner Mongolia has large stroma with 5–14 perithecia, perithecium immersed, asci polysporous, long-stalked, ascospores allantoid, aseptate, slightly curved, subhyaline. The phylogenies inferred from the data set of nrDNA ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 (ITS) and beta-tubulin (β-tubulin) supported the two new species both as members in the genus Diatrype and distinct species. The morphological similarities and dissimilarities of the new species with phylogenetically close relatives are discussed. A dichotomous identification key to the Diatrype spp. known from China is proposed.

Diatrypaceae members have a broad distribution and are commonly found on decaying wood. Despite taxonomic and morphological challenges within this group, there has been a growing interest in Diatrypaceae in recent years. The dead branches of several plant hosts with fungal fruiting bodies were collected from Doi Tung National Park, Chiang Rai, and the Narathiwat Provinces in Thailand. Their morphological characteristics, coupled with a molecular phylogeny of combined ITS and tub2 sequence data, were used to introduce two novel Allodiatrype species (A. dalbergiae and A. eleiodoxae) and one new Melanostictus species (M. chiangraiensis). Moreover, four new host records, Diatrypella heveae, D. major, Melanostictus thailandicus, and Paraeutypella citricola on Microcos paniculata, Nayariophyton zizyphifolium, Dalbergia cultrata, and M. paniculata, respectively, as well as a new geographical record of D. major are reported. This research provides detailed descriptions of macro- and microcharacteristics, coupled with a phylogenetic tree for the newly introduced species and host records. The morphological features of Allodiatrype and Melanostictus are listed in the synoptic table.
... A comprehensive taxonomic study of Diatrypaceous fungi from Washington, Oregon and Idaho described 28 species, collected from dead or declining angiosperms, with all species belonging to the genera Cryptosphaeria, Cryptovalsa, Diatrype, Diatrypella, Eutypa, and Eutypella, with only Eutypa lata associated with Vitis vinifera and V. labruscana (Glawe and Rogers, 1984). Among the less common species found in Washington, our study constitutes the first report of Eutypa cerasi on V. vinifera; this is a first report of Eutypa cerasi in North America, as it was only known from Prunus cerasus in China (Long et al., 2021). We also report for the first time Eutypa petrakii var hederae on Vitis vinifera, as this species was only known from Hedera helix in France and Switzerland (Rappaz, 1987). ...

Grapevine trunk diseases cause serious economic losses to grape growers worldwide. The identification of the causal fungi is critical to implementing appropriate management strategies. Through a culture-based approach, we identified the fungal species composition associated with symptomatic grapevines from wine grapes in southeastern Washington and table grapes in the southern San Joaquin Valley of California, two regions with contrasting winter climates. Species were confirmed through molecular identification, sequencing two to six gene regions per isolate. Multilocus phylogenetic analyses were used to identify novel species. We identified 36 species from 112 isolates, with a combination of species that are new to science, are known causal fungi of grapevine trunk diseases, or are known causal fungi of diseases of other woody plants. The novel species Cadophora columbiana , Cytospora macropycnidia , Cytospora yakimana , and Sporocadus incarnatus are formally described and introduced, six species are newly reported from North America, and grape is reported as a new host for three species. Six species were shared between the two regions: Cytospora viticola , Diatrype stigma , Diplodia seriata , Kalmusia variispora , Phaeoacremonium minimum , and Phaeomoniella chlamydospora . Dominating the fungal community in Washington wine grape vineyards were species in the fungal families Diatrypaceae, Cytosporaceae and Sporocadaceae, whereas in California table grape vineyards, the dominant species were in the families Diatrypaceae, Togniniaceae, Phaeomoniellaceae and Hymenochaetaceae. Pathogenicity tests demonstrated that 10 isolates caused wood discoloration similar to symptomatic wood from which they were originally isolated. Growth rates at temperatures from 5 to 35°C of 10 isolates per region, suggest that adaptation to local climate might explain their distribution.

During an investigation of Diatrypaceae from southern China, 10 xylariales-like taxa have been collected. Morphological and multi-gene analyses confirmed that these taxa reside in Diatrypaceae and represent eight novel taxa and two new records belonging to six genera (viz ., Allocryptovalsa, Diatrype, Diatrypella, Paraeutypella, Peroneutypa , and Vasilyeva gen. nov.). Vasilyeva gen. nov. was proposed to accommodate Vasilyeva cinnamomi sp. nov. Among the other collections, seven new species were introduced ( viz ., Diatrype camelliae-japonicae sp. nov., Diatrype rubi sp. nov., Diatrypella guiyangensis sp. nov., Diatrypella fatsiae-japonicae sp. nov., Paraeutypella subguizhouensis sp. nov., Peroneutypa hainanensis sp. nov., and Peroneutypa qianensis sp. nov.), while two were reported as new records from China ( Allocryptovalsa rabenhorstii and Diatrype enteroxantha ). For Diatrypaceae , the traditional taxonomic approach based on morphology may not be applicable.

In Sichuan province, walnuts, consisting of Juglans regia , Juglans sigillata , and the hybrid J. regia × J. sigillata , are commercially important edible nuts, and J. regia is the most widespread plant. To date, the diversity and distribution of fungi inhabiting on Juglans have not received enough attention, although there have been studies focusing on pathogens from fruit and stem. In order to update the checklist of fungi associated with Sichuan walnuts, a survey on fungi associated with the three Juglans species from 15 representative regions in Sichuan was conducted. In this article, ten fungi distributed in two classes of Ascomycota (Dothideomycetes and Sordariomycetes) were described based on morpho-molecular analyses, and two novel species, Neofusicoccum sichuanense and Sphaerulina juglandina , a known species of Ophiognomonia leptostyla , and seven new hosts or geographical records of Cladosporium tenuissimum , Diatrypella vulgaris , Helminthosporium juglandinum , Helminthosporium velutinum , Loculosulcatispora hongheensis , Periconia byssoides , and Rhytidhysteron subrufulum were included. Morphological descriptions and illustrations of these fungi are provided.

In this study, we investigated the diversity of diatrypaceous fungi from six regions in China based on morpho-molecular analyses of combined ITS and tub2 gene regions. We accept 23 genera in Diatrypaceae with 18 genera involved in the phylogram, and the other five genera are lacking living materials with sequences data. Eleven species included in four genera (viz. Allocryptovalsa, Diatrype, Diatrypella, and Eutypella) have been isolated from seven host species, of which nine novel species (viz. Allocryptovalsa castaneae, A. castaneicola, Diatrype betulae, D. castaneicola, D. quercicola, Diatrypella betulae, Da. betulicola, Da. hubeiensis, and Da. shennongensis), a known species of Diatrypella favacea, and a new record of Eutypella citricola from the host genus Morus are included. Current results show the high diversity of Diatrypaceae which are wood-inhabiting fungi in China.

In this study, we introduce a novel genus, Paraeutypella , of the family Diatrypaceae comprising three species viz. Paraeutypella guizhouensis sp. nov. and P. citricola (basionym: Eutypella citricola ) and P. vitis (basionym: Sphaeria vitis ). Diatrypella longiasca sp. nov. is also introduced, which forms a distinct clade in Diatrypella sensu stricto. The discovery of this new genus will contribute to expanding the knowledge and taxonomic framework of Diatrypaceae (Xylariales). Generic delimitations in Diatrypaceae are unsettled because the phylogeny has yet to be resolved using extensive taxon sampling and sequencing of ex-type cultures. During an investigation of xylarialean fungi, we collected eutypella-like fungi which is distinct from Eutypella sensu stricto in our phylogenetic analyses (ITS and β-tubulin), thus, introduced as Paraeutypella guizhouensis gen. et sp. nov.. Paraeutypella is characterised by having 4–25 perithecia in a stroma each with 3–6 sulcate, long ostiolar necks. Paraeutypella citricola comb. nov. (basionym: Eutypella citricola ) is introduced on Acer sp. from China. Diatrypella longiasca sp. nov. is introduced as a new species in Diatrypella sensu stricto. which has 2–5 ascomata per stroma and long ascospores, unusual when compared to other Diatrypella species and distinct phylogenetically.

This paper reviews and determines the fungi growing on seeds and fruits of wild plants in various habitats. Such fungi colonise a wide range of substrates with most reported from cones, cupules, and leguminous pods that are high in cellulose and lignin content. There are 1348 fungal species (belonging to 230 families and 609 genera) reported from wild seeds and fruits in 84 countries, listed in this paper. Of these, 300 fungi were described from wild seeds and fruit substrates. Members of the Fabaceae support the highest number of taxa, namely 19% of the novel wild fruit fungi. Twenty-eight genera, including 5 fossil fungal genera have been described from wild seeds and fruits: Agarwalomyces, Amorocoelophoma, Anisogenispora, Archephoma, Centrolepidosporium, Cylindroaseptospora, Cylindromyces, Davidhawksworthia, Delonicicola, Discotubeufia, Glaxoa, Kionocephala, Leucaenicola, Naranus, Neolindgomyces, Pleohelicoon, Quercicola, Remotididymella, Repetoblastiella, Restilago, Soloacrosporiella, Strobiloscypha and Tainosphaeria. Archephoma, Meniscoideisporites, Palaeodiplodites, Palaeopericonia and Xylohyphites are the new fossil fungal genera. Fungal asexual morphs predominate on wild seeds and fruits rather than the sexual morphs. The dominant fungal genera on wild seeds and fruits include Alternaria, Aspergillus, Candida, Chaetomium, Cladosporium, Colletotrichum, Curvularia, Diaporthe, Drechslera, Fusarium, Mucor, Penicillium, Pestalotiopsis, Restiosporium, Rhizopus, Talaromyces, Trichoderma and Xylaria. Certain assemblages of fungi have specific and distinct relationships with their hosts, especially Xylaria species (e.g., Xylaria magnoliae on Magnolia fruits; X. xanthinovelutina (= X. ianthino-velutina) on Fabaceae pods; X. carpophila on Fagus cupules; X. persicaria on liquidambar fruits). Whether these species occur as endophytes and become saprobes following fruit fall requires further investigation. In this study, we also made several sexual morph collections of sordariomycetous taxa from different seed and fruit substrates mainly from Thailand, with a few from the UK. These include 15 new species, 13 new host records and 1 new geographical record. The new species are described and illustrated.

Marine diatrypaceous fungi are associated with many host species, including Avicennia spp., Halosarceia halocnemoides (Nees) Paul G.Wilson, Kandelia candel (L.) Druce, Salicornia sp., Rhizophora apiculata Blume and Suaeda fruticosa (L.) Forssk. Accurate morphological identification of individual taxa of this family is difficult, as previous classifications generally lack sequence data. We provide a detailed account of all known marine diatrypaceous taxa and determine their phylogenetic and morphological relationships. A novel genus Halocryptovalsa Dayarathne & K.D.Hyde, gen. nov. is established to accommodate Halocryptovalsa salicorniae Dayarathne & K.D.Hyde, sp. nov., and Halocryptovalsa avicenniae, comb. nov. (synonym of Cryptovalsa avicenniae). Three novel species Cryptosphaeria avicenniae Devadatha & V.V.Sarma, sp. nov., Cryptosphaeria halophila Dayarathne & K.D.Hyde, sp. nov., and Diatrype mangrovei Dayarathne & K.D.Hyde, sp. nov., are introduced from mangroves. Halodiatrype is amended with asexual morph characters.

This article provides an outline of the classification of the kingdom Fungi (including fossil fungi. i.e. dispersed spores, mycelia, sporophores, mycorrhizas). We treat 19 phyla of fungi. These are Aphelidiomycota, Ascomycota, Basidiobolomycota, Basidiomycota, Blastocladiomycota, Calcarisporiellomycota, Caulochytriomycota, Chytridiomycota, Entomophthoromycota, Entorrhizomycota, Glomeromycota, Kickxellomycota, Monoblepharomycota, Mortierellomycota, Mucoromycota, Neocallimastigomycota, Olpidiomycota, Rozellomycota and Zoopagomycota. The placement of all fungal genera is provided at the class-, order- and family-level. The described number of species per genus is also given. Notes are provided of taxa for which recent changes or disagreements have been presented. Fungus-like taxa that were traditionally treated as fungi are also incorporated in this outline (i.e. Eumycetozoa, Dictyosteliomycetes, Ceratiomyxomycetes and Myxomycetes). Four new taxa are introduced: Amblyosporida ord. nov. Neopereziida ord. nov. and Ovavesiculida ord. nov. in Rozellomycota, and Protosporangiaceae fam. nov. in Dictyosteliomycetes. Two different classifications (in outline section and in discussion) are provided for Glomeromycota and Leotiomycetes based on recent studies. The phylogenetic reconstruction of a four-gene dataset (18S and 28S rRNA, RPB1, RPB2) of 433 taxa is presented, including all currently described orders of fungi.

This is a continuation of the papers “Towards a classification of Sordariomycetes” (2015) and “Families of Sordariomycetes” (2016) in which we compile a treatment of the class Sordariomycetes. The present treatment is needed as our knowledge has rapidly increased, from 32 orders, 105 families and 1331 genera in 2016, to 45 orders, 167 families and 1499 genera (with 308 genera incertae sedis) at the time of publication. In this treatment we provide notes on each order, families and short notes on each genus. We provide up-to-date DNA based phylogenies for 45 orders and 163 families. Three new genera and 16 new species are introduced with illustrations and descriptions, while 23 new records and three new species combinations are provided. We also list 308 taxa in Sordariomycetes genera incertae sedis. For each family we provide general descriptions and illustrate the type genus or another genus, the latter where the placement has generally been confirmed with molecular data. Both the sexual and asexual morphs representative of a family are illustrated where available. Notes on ecological and economic considerations are also given.

The majority of Diatrype species are saprobes, while a few species are pathogens which form cankers on forest trees. The placement of several species in the genus Diatrype is uncertain, as the phylogeny has yet to be well-resolved with extensive taxon sampling and authentic ex-type cultures. In this study, a diatrype-like taxon was found on decaying wood in Lijiang, Yunnan Province, China. Morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analyses of combined ITS and β-tubulin sequences, supported the conclusion that the taxon is a new species, which is named as Diatrype lijiangensis. The new species differs from other species of Diatrype in asci and ascospore characteristics. The morphological similarities and dissimilarities of the new species with phylogenetically close alliances are discussed. Micro-morphological characteristics of this novel taxon are illustrated with descriptions.

We describe two new species of Eutypella, E. persica from dead branch of Alnus sp. inGuilan province, and E. quercina from dead branch of Quercus sp. in East Azerbaijanprovince of Iran, using morphological and molecular data. Eutypella persica has largestromata with 20–70 perithecia in a valsoid arrangement, sulcate to smooth ostioles,and produces an asexual structure on both natural substrate and culture media.Eutypella quercina, lacking the asexual structure, is characterized by mostly circularstromata with 10–50 perithecia in a valsoid arrangement and smooth ostioles.Phylogenetic relationships of Eutypella with other genera of the Diatrypaceae are hereinferred using maximum parsimony and neighbor-joining analyses of the ITS rDNA andpartial β-tubulin gene. The new combination, Peroneutypa iranica, is proposed basedon morphological features.
