Abstract
Novel species of fungi described in the present study include the following from Australia:
Neoseptorioides eucalypti
gen. & sp. nov. from
Eucalyptus radiata
leaves,
Phytophthora gondwanensis
from soil,
Diaporthe tulliensis
from rotted stem ends of
Theobroma cacao
fruit,
Diaporthe vawdreyi
from fruit rot of
Psidium guajava
,
Magnaporthiopsis agrostidis
from rotted roots of
Agrostis stolonifera
and
Semifissispora natalis
from
Eucalyptus
leaf litter. Furthermore,
Neopestalotiopsis egyptiaca
is described from
Mangifera indica
leaves (Egypt),
Roussoella mexicana
from
Coffea arabica
leaves (Mexico),
Calonectria monticola
from soil (Thailand),
Hygrocybe jackmanii
from littoral sand dunes (Canada),
Lindgomyces madisonensis
from submerged decorticated wood (USA),
Neofabraea brasiliensis
from
Malus domestica
(Brazil),
Geastrum diosiae
from litter (Argentina),
Ganoderma wiiroense
on angiosperms (Ghana),
Arthrinium gutiae
from the gut of a grasshopper (India),
Pyrenochaeta telephoni
from the screen of a mobile phone (India) and
Xenoleptographium phialoconidium
gen. & sp. nov. on exposed xylem tissues of
Gmelina arborea
(Indonesia). Several novelties are introduced from Spain, namely
Psathyrella complutensis
on loamy soil,
Chlorophyllum lusitanicum
on nitrified grasslands (incl.
Chlorophyllum arizonicum
comb. nov.),
Aspergillus citocrescens
from cave sediment and
Lotinia verna
gen. & sp. nov. from muddy soil. Novel foliicolous taxa from South Africa include
Phyllosticta carissicola
from
Carissa macrocarpa, Pseudopyricularia hagahagae
from
Cyperaceae
and
Zeloasperisporium searsiae
from
Searsia chirindensis
. Furthermore,
Neophaeococcomyces
is introduced as a novel genus, with two new combinations,
N. aloes
and
N. catenatus.
Several foliicolous novelties are recorded from La Réunion, France, namely
Ochroconis pandanicola
from
Pandanus utilis, Neosulcatispora agaves
gen. & sp. nov. from
Agave vera-cruz
,
Pilidium eucalyptorum
from
Eucalyptus robusta
,
Strelitziana syzygii
from
Syzygium jambos
(incl.
Strelitzianaceae
fam. nov.) and
Pseudobeltrania ocoteae
from
Ocotea obtusata
(
Beltraniaceae
emend.). Morphological and culture characteristics along with ITS DNA barcodes are provided for all taxa.
