Abstract/Summary
Abstract: Four new species from Cuba are described in the genus Ocellularia, emphasizing theimportance of the Caribbean for the diversi
cation of lichen fungi and the level of unrecognized speciesrichness in Ocellularia. Three of the new species belong in the O. bahiana group:
O. coronata Lcking &Prez-Ortega, differing from O. bahiana by the ridged to folded thallus, vertically ridged apothecia, andcomplex
columella largely covering the disc; O. fuscospora Lcking & Prez-Ortega, differing fromO. urceolaris in the immersed to erumpent,
columellate apothecia; and O. radiata Lcking, differingfrom O. bahiana in the complex, radiating columella lling the disc. In contrast,
Ocellularia nigririmisLcking & Prez-Ortega is a species of the O. papillata morphodeme with immersed apothecia with asmall, blackrimmed pore lled by a greyish black columella, and small ascospores. We also clarify thetaxonomy and nomenclature of columellate taxa
in the O. bahiana group and provide a key to allthelotremoid Graphidaceae with small, brown, (sub-)muriform ascospores. The new
combinationOcellularia lunensis (Nagarkar & Hale) Lcking is proposed.

Abstract/Summary
Abstract: One new species and six new records of the crustose lichenized genus Graphis are reportedfrom Thailand. Graphis koratensis
Pitakpong, Kraichak & Lcking sp. nov. is characterized by lirellineascocarps with whitish grey or grey-green pruina along the slit,
transversely septate ascospores, and thepresence of norstictic acid. Phylogenetic analyses with two loci (mtSSU and nuLSU) show the
distinctposition of this new species within the genus. Six new records for Thailand are reported, includingG. cincta (Pers.) Aptroot, G.
jejuensis K. H. Moon et al., G. nigrocarpa Adaw. & Makhija, G. renschiana(Mll. Arg.) Stizenb., G. seminuda Mll. Arg., and G. subserpentina

The lichen genus Psoromidium (Pannariaceae) re-evaluated, with nomenclatural

notes on Degeliella and Psoromaria
PsoromidiumDegeliellaPsoromaria
PM JRGENSEN, HL ANDERSEN - The Lichenologist, 2015 - jjh.cz
URL
http://www.jjh.cz/upload/25759.pdf
Abstract/Summary
Abstract: Molecular studies have shown that Psoromidium is well separated from Psoromaria andDegeliella, when including the type species
only. The latter generic name is illegitimate and the correctname for the other species sometimes included in Psoromidium is shown to be
Psoromaria versicolor(Mll. Arg.) P. M. Jrg. & H. L. Andersen, comb. nov. It is the type species of the genus PsoromariaNyl. ex Hue. The
inclusion of Degeliella rosulata in Psoromaria is unresolved, according to the molecularevidence. However, its characters (except the
photobiont) match those of Psoromaria, rather than thoseof the other species with which it groups. So for nomenclature reasons it is
transferred to this genus, asPsoromaria rosulata (P. M. Jrg. & D. J. Galloway) P. M. Jrg. & H. L. Andersen comb. nov.

Abstract/Summary
Abstract: Bulbothrix johannis is described as new to science. The species is morphologically similar tothe South American Bulbothrix
pseudofungicola Benatti & Marcelli but has wider lobes, laminal ciliateisidia which frequently develop into phyllidia, larger cilia and rhizines,
and longer ascospores. Thisepiphytic species occurs fairly frequently in the cloud forests and montane thickets on Runion Island(Mascarene
archipelago). The comparison of B. johannis with morphologically and chemically similarspecies shows that several different African taxa are
currently grouped under the widely used butproblematic name B. suf xa (Stirt.) Hale.

Helicocentralis hyalina gen. et sp. nov., an aero-aquatic helicosporous fungus

(Leotiomycetes, Ascomycota) in Thailand
Helicocentralis hyalina
V Sri-indrasutdhi, CKM Tsui - Mycological , 2015 - Springer
URL
Abstract/Summary
Abstract During a survey of aero-aquatic fungi in Thailand, an undescribed helicosporous fungus was discovered. It is characterized by the
presence of branched and septate hyphae with hyaline conidiophores that are micronematous or semi-macronematous, acrogenous and
holoblastic. Conidia are hyaline and centrifugally coiled (excentric), helicoid or circinate, coiled 23 times clockwise or counterclockwise.
After comparison of morphological and molecular characters with other aero-aquatic, helicosporous fungi, introduction of a new genus and
species is proposed, Helicocentralis hyalina gen. et sp. nov. Phylogenetic analyses based on the combined sequence data from the small and
large nuclear subunit ribosomal DNA (SSU and LSU), as well as internal transcribed spacer (ITS) rDNA sequence data, the fungus groups
within the Leotiomycetes class with strong statistical support. The new genus is not related to other helicosporous hyphomycete genera
(Helicoma, Helicomyces, Helicon, and Helicosporium), which belong in the Tubeufiaceae, Dothideomycetes. Within the Leotiomycetes, our
new fungus is distantly related to Helicodendron paradoxum (the type species). The new fungus is also compared morphologically to six
similar helicosporous genera from Dothideomycetes and Leotiomycetes.

A new whitish truffle, Tuber thailandicum from northern Thailand and its
ectomycorrhizal association
Tuber thailandicum
N Suwannarach, J Kumla, S Lumyong - Mycological Progress, 2015 - Springer
URL
Abstract/Summary
Abstract A new species of whitish truffle, Tuber thailandicum, is described based on collections from northern Thailand. This species is
characterized by whitish ascomata with dark brown gleba and subglobose spores with an alveolate reticulum. Tuber thailandicum is similar
to T. castilloi, but differs in the thicker peridium and wider spores in one-spored asci. Molecular analysis of the internal transcribed spacer
region and large subunit of ribosomal DNA also supports that T. thailandicum is clearly different from previously described whitish truffle
species. It grows in mycorrhizal association with Betula alnoides, and the morphology and anatomy of mycorrhizae are described. Moreover,
the identification of mycorrhizal status was confirmed by molecular methods.

URL
http://www.creamjournal.org/PDFs/Cream_5_3_6.pdf
Abstract/Summary
Abstract This paper includes the results of eco-taxonomic studies of coprophilous mushrooms in Punjab, India. The information is based on
the survey to dung localities of the state during the various years from 2007-2011. A total number of 172 collections have been observed,
growing as saprobes on dung of various domesticated and wild herbivorous animals in pastures, open areas, zoological parks, and on dung
heaps along roadsides or along village ponds, etc. High coprophilous mushrooms diversity has been established and a number of rare and
sensitive species recorded with the present study. The observed collections belong to 95 species spread over 20 genera and 07 families of
the order Agaricales. The present paper discusses the distribution of these mushrooms in Punjab among different seasons, regions, habitats,
and growing habits along with their economic utility, habitat management and conservation. This is the first attempt in which various dung
localities of the state has been explored systematically to ascertain the diversity, seasonal availability, distribution and ecology of
coprophilous mushrooms. The study has shown that dung is an important substrate which serves as a favorable niche for the growth of a
variety of mushrooms.

Decomposition of Wood by Polypore Fungi in Tropics-Biological, Ecological and

Environmental Factors-A Case Study

http://www.isca.in/AGRI_FORESTRY/Archive/v3/i8/3.ISCA-RJAFS-2015-037.pdf
Abstract/Summary
The tropical region, it is clearly understood that decomposition of wood by polypore fungi is influenced by the distribution of host species;
forest types; ecological, environmental and seasonal interactions; decomposition and nutrient cycling; mode of attack and anthropogenic
activities. It has been found that the white rot polypore prefer angiosperm wood than gymnosperm wood because the angiosperm lignin is
relatively easier to oxidize than gymnosperm lignin and therefore angiosperm trees might be preferred by more white rot polypores. Among
the common species in tropics, like, Coriolopsis retropicta, Microporus xanthopus, Fomitopsis palustris, Hexagonia sulcata, Rigidoporus
lineatus, etc. exhibited restricted distribution and very narrow host range. Among the Fomitopsis dochmius and F. rhodophaeus were the
most widespread in occurrence as well as they exhibited a wide host range. Some species such as Cyclomyces tabacinus, Earliella scabrosa,
Ganoderma australe, Microporus affinis, and Rigidoporus microporus were found mainly found on newly fallen trees while other species such
as Antrodiella species, Nigroporus vinosus, Postia species, and Tyromyces species were found on well-decomposed trees. Species richness of
wood-decaying basidiomycetes was higher in a primary forest plot than in a regenerating forest plot and suggested that a low frequency of
tree fall in the regenerating forest reduced the species richness of wood-decaying basidiomycetes. Studies shown that Ganoderma australe
has been collected from species in the Leguminosae, Dipterocarpaceae, and Euphorbiaceae, and Phellinus lamaensis has been collected from
species in the Dipterocarpaceae and Meliaceae. Amongst all the families, genera of Fabaceae are found to be most susceptible, followed by
Rosaceae, Myrtaceae, Cupressaceae, Caesalpiniaceae, Ericaceae, Euphorbiaceae and Lauraceae. The families like Meliaceae, Pinaceae,

Phanerochaete sordidaPhanerochaete pallida
S Volobuev, M Okun, A Ordynets, V Spirin - Mycological Progress, 2015 - Springer
URL
Abstract/Summary
Abstract The taxonomy of the Phanerochaete sordida group is revised based on morphological and DNA studies of collections from the
temperate zone of Eurasia. P. sordida sensu typi is predominantly a gymnosperm-dwelling species having long, tubular, apically thin-walled
and non-encrusted cystidia and narrowly ellipsoid or thick cylindrical basidiospores. In phylogenetic analysis, P. sordida is rather distant from
three other species possessing similar morphological characters; those species inhabit angiosperm hosts and have narrower, cylindrical
basidiospores. P. livescens, comb. nova, is characterized by sharp-tipped, strongly encrusted cystidia with equally thickened walls. It is
widely distributed in temperate forests of Eurasia. P. concrescens, sp. nova, is an East Asian species having blunt-tipped, only apically
encrusted cystidia with gradually thickened walls. P. cumulodentata, comb. nova, is reintroduced for the European species formerly known
as P. raduloides, and its identity versus P. magnoliae from North America is discussed. Additionally, P. pallida is restored as a good species;
it is not related to the P. sordida group and clusters with P. jose-ferreirae within the Byssomerulius clade (Irpicaceae).

Abstract/Summary
Abstract The order Meliolales comprises the families Armatellaceae and Meliolaceae. These are black mildews that grow on the surface of
host plants, often regarded as minor plant pathogens. In this study, types or specimens of 17 genera of Armatellaceae and Meliolaceae were
borrowed from herbaria and re-examined. Armatella is accepted in Armatellaceae and Amazonia, Appendiculella, Asteridiella, Cryptomeliola,
Endomeliola, Irenopsis and Meliola are accepted in the family Meliolaceae. Laeviomeliola is synonymized under Meliola. Ceratospermopsis,
Ectendomeliola, Haraea, Hypasteridium, Leptascospora, Metasteridium, Ophiociliomyces, Ophioirenina, Ophiomeliola, Parasteridium,
Pauahia, Pleomeliola, Pleomerium, Prataprajella, Ticomyces, Urupe and Xenostigme are excluded from Meliolaceae, and are treated as
doubtful genera or placed in ascomycetes genera incertae sedis. The type species of each genus is re-described and illustrated with
photomicrographs. Notes are provided and comparisons made. Two new species of Meliola and one new species of Irenopsis are also
introduced with molecular data and we provide the most populated phylogenetic tree of Meliolomycetidae to date. Meliola thailandicum was
found on Dimocarpus longan (Sapindales) and Acacia auriculiformis (Fabales) and confirmed to be the same species in the molecular
analyses. This has important implications as the several hundred Meliola species are recognized based on host associations. Thus the same
species being recorded from two unrelated hosts sheds doubt on Meliola species being host-specific.

http://mi.iranjournals.ir/article_14264_852.html
Abstract/Summary
In the present study, the diversity of Trichoderma spp. was investigated in alkaline pistachio soils at different geographic area in Kerman
province, Iran. A total of 161 Trichoderma isolates were obtained and identified at the species level by analysis of their morphological
characters and sequence analysis of their internal transcribed spacer regions of the rRNA cluster and tef1 genes as phylogenetic markers.
Based on morphological characteristics and sequence analysis five species of Trichoderma including T. harzianum (87 isolates), T.
aureoviride (44 isolates), T. virens (19 isolates), T. brevicompactum (9 isolates) and T. longibrachiatum (2 isolates) were isolated and
identified. The complete ITS regions nucleotide sequences of the rRNA gene of 17 selected isolates of T. harzianum and T. aureoviride and 4
selected isolates of T. virens, T. brevicompactum and T. longibrachiatum were determined. Our data showed that very little ITS sequence
variation was observed and did not find molecular differences between T. harzianum and T. aureoviride. These species were not able to
separate based on rRNA ITS region. To identify and differentiate these two species, the sequences fragment of the translation-elongation
factor 1- (tef1-int4 (large)) gene were determined for 5 isolates of T. harzianum and T. aureoviride. The BLAST similarity search using the
sequences of the isolates determined in this study for T. harzianum and T. aureoviride revealed as the H. lixii. however, there were 34
nucleotide differences between the two groups of isolates.

Abstract/Summary
Abstract The diversity of epiphytic yeasts from sugarcane (Saccharum officinarum Linn.) phyllospheres in Thailand was investigated by
culture-independent method based on the analysis of the D1/D2 domains of the large subunit rRNA gene sequences. Forty-five samples of
sugarcane leaf were collected randomly from 10 provinces in Thailand. A total of 1,342 clones were obtained from 45 clone libraries. 426
clones (31.7%) were closely related to yeast strains in the GenBank database, and they were clustered into 31 operational taxonomic units
(OTUs) with a similarity threshold of 99%. All OTU sequences were classified in phylum Basidiomycota which were closely related to 11
yeast species in 7 genera including Cryptococcus flavus, Hannaella coprosmaensis, Rhodotorula taiwanensis, Jaminaea angkoreiensis,
Malassezia restricta, Pseudozyma antarctica, Pseudozyma aphidis, Pseudozyma hubeiensis, Pseudozyma prolifica, Pseudozyma shanxiensis
and Sporobolomyces vermiculatus. The most predominant yeasts detected belonged to Ustilaginales with 89.4% relative frequency and the
prevalent yeast genus was Pseudozyma. However, the majority were unable to be identified as known yeast species and these sequences
may represent the sequences of new yeast taxa. In addition, The OTU that closely related to P. prolifica was commonly detected in
sugarcane phyllosphere.

http://www.biotaxa.org/Phytotaxa/article/view/phytotaxa.226.1.3
Abstract/Summary
Abstract Gyroporus lacteus is fully described based on recent collections from sandy areas in Italian littoral woods consisting of Pinus pinea
and Quercus ilex. Lveills plate 9 (12) (in Annls Sci. Nat., Bot., 1848) is selected as a lectotype and a recent sequenced collection as an
epitype. Its independent position from Gyroporus cyanescens is supported by phylogenetic analyses of the nuclear ribosomal internal
transcribed spacer (ITS) and the nuclear ribosomal large subunit (LSU) regions. In addition, Gyroporus cyanescens is typified by selecting
Bulliards Plate 369 (in Herbier de la France 8, 1788) as a lectotype and a sequenced collection as an epitype.

Abstract/Summary
Abstract: Two new species of Hymenochaetaceae, Inonotus casuarinae and Phellinus austrosinensis, are described from southern China on
the basis of morphological and molecular characters. Phylogenetic analysis based on the large subunit of nuclear ribosomal RNA gene region
indicated that the two new species were nested within the Inonotus clade and Phellinus clade, respectively. Inonotus casuarinae is
characterized by annual growth habit, a monomitic hyphal structure, presence of both setal hyphae and hooked hymenial setae, and hyaline
to pale yellowish basidiospores. Phellinus austrosinensis is characterized by perennial and resupinate basidiocarps, cinnamon surface,
presence of hymenial setae, and small hyaline oblong-ellipsoid basidiospores.

Abstract/Summary
Abstract Plant biostimulants are formulated with diverse microorganisms and/or substances that are applied to crops with the aim of
enhancing growth, development and adaptation to abiotic stress. Trichoderma-based products have been particularly successful because of
their capacity to control phytopathogenic fungi. Some Trichoderma strains have a predominant biostimulant action that makes them unique
for their extended use in horticulture. They are safe for humans, livestock and crop plants and in their natural environment colonize plant
roots without apparent adverse reactions. Both solid and liquid formulations containing conidia can be used to produce suitable quantities of
active and viable inocula during product formulation and field use. The mechanism of phytostimulation by Trichoderma involves multilevel
communication with root and shoot systems, as it releases into the rhizosphere auxins, small peptides, volatiles and other active
metabolites, which promote root branching and nutrient uptake capacity, thereby boosting plant growth and yield. Recent proteomic and
genetic data suggest that Trichoderma activates the mitogen activated protein kinase 6, transcription factors and DNA processing proteins,
which represent promising targets toward formulation of more efficient products.

Phylogenomics Reveals Convergent Evolution of Lifestyles in Close Relatives of

Animals and Fungi
G Torruella, A de Mendoza, X Grau-Bov, M Ant - Current Biology, 2015 - Elsevier
URL
Abstract/Summary
Summary The Opisthokonta are a eukaryotic supergroup divided in two main lineages: animals and related protistan taxa, and fungi and
their allies [1 and 2]. There is a great diversity of lifestyles and morphologies among unicellular opisthokonts, from free-living phagotrophic
flagellated bacterivores and filopodiated amoebas to cell-walled osmotrophic parasites and saprotrophs. However, these characteristics do
not group into monophyletic assemblages, suggesting rampant convergent evolution within Opisthokonta. To test this hypothesis, we
assembled a new phylogenomic dataset via sequencing 12 new strains of protists. Phylogenetic relationships among opisthokonts revealed
independent origins of filopodiated amoebas in two lineages, one related to fungi and the other to animals. Moreover, we observed that
specialized osmotrophic lifestyles evolved independently in fungi and protistan relatives of animals, indicating convergent evolution. We
therefore analyzed the evolution of two key fungal characters in Opisthokonta, the flagellum and chitin synthases. Comparative analyses of
the flagellar toolkit showed a previously unnoticed flagellar apparatus in two close relatives of animals, the filasterean Ministeria vibrans and
Corallochytrium limacisporum. This implies that at least four different opisthokont lineages secondarily underwent flagellar simplification.
Analysis of the evolutionary history of chitin synthases revealed significant expansions in both animals and fungi, and also in the
Ichthyosporea and C. limacisporum, a group of cell-walled animal relatives. This indicates that the last opisthokont common ancestor had a
complex toolkit of chitin synthases that was differentially retained in extant lineages. Thus, our data provide evidence for convergent
evolution of specialized lifestyles in close relatives of animals and fungi from a generalist ancestor.

Preliminary insights into the evolutionary relationships of aquatic hyphomycetes and

endophytic fungi
S Seena, S Monroy - Fungal Ecology, 2015 - Elsevier
URL
Abstract/Summary
Abstract Aquatic hyphomycetes play a key role in leaf litter decomposition and are mediators of organic matter turnover in streams.
Molecular studies have shown that some aquatic fungi are also plant endophytes, however, more evidence is needed to evaluate their
multiple ecological abilities. To date, little information is available on fungal lineages that might have undergone convergent evolution to
adapt to multiple ecological modes. We examined the phylogenetic relationships and evolutionary divergences of aquatic hyphomycetes,
endophytic aquatic hyphomycetes and other fungal endophytes of riparian/terrestrial plants by analyzing ITS1-5.8S-ITS2 sequences
retrieved from the National Center for Biotechnology Information (NCBI). Sequences with close phylogenetic affinity to aquatic fungi can
occur as endophytes of terrestrial plants or in soil far from streams. To fully understand the ecological impact of aquatic hyphomycetes, we
need to document and interpret their niches more broadly.

Microscopy-or DNA-based analyses: Which methodology gives a truer picture of

stream-dwelling decomposer fungal diversity?

I Fernandes, A Pereira, J Trabulo, C Pascoal, F Cssio - Fungal Ecology, 2015 - Elsevier
URL
Abstract/Summary
Abstract We assessed aquatic hyphomycete diversity in autumn and spring on oak leaves decomposing in five streams along a gradient of
eutrophication in the Northwest of Portugal. Diversity was assessed through microscopy-based (identification by spore morphology) and
DNA-based techniques (Denaturing Gradient Gel Electrophoresis and 454 pyrosequencing). Pyrosequencing revealed five times greater
diversity than DGGE. About 21% of all aquatic hyphomycete species were exclusively detected by pyrosequencing and 26% exclusively by
spore identification. In some streams, more than half of the recorded species would have remained undetected if we had relied only on
spore identification. Nevertheless, in spring aquatic hyphomycete diversity was higher based on spore identification, probably because many
species occurring in this season are not yet connected to ITS barcodes in genetic databases. Pyrosequencing was a powerful tool for
revealing aquatic hyphomycete diversity on decomposing plant litter in streams and we strongly encourage researchers to continue the
effort in barcoding fungal species.
