Notes – Acrostalagmus cinnabarinus turned out to be identical to Verticillium luteoalbum (≡ Sporotrichum luteoalbum), introduced by Link (1809). Thus, the new combination Acrostalagmus luteoalbus was proposed as the type species of Acrostalagmus (Zare et al. 2004). Acrostalagmus has mononematous or synnematous conidiophores, enteroblastic, monophialidic conidiogenous cells, and hyaline or bright orange to reddish, oval, ellipsoidal to oblong-ellipsoidal conidia, held together by slime (Corda 1838, Giraldo & Crous 2019). Based on morphology, substrate relationships, and phylogenetic analyses, Zare et al. (2004) demonstrated the asexual-sexual connection was erroneous for Acrostalagmus. Its sexual morph is undetermined.

 

Type species: Acrostalagmus luteoalbus (Link) Zare, W. Gams & Schroers, Mycol. Res. 108(5): 581 (2004).

Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Acrostalagmus.
