Notes – Cladorrhinum was introduced for asexually reproducing species in 1885 by Saccardo & Marchal, and the sexual morphs have been linked to Apiosordaria and Cercophora (Mouchacca & Gams 1993). The species with Cladorrhinum asexual morphs, Apiosordaria verruculosa, Cercophora samala, C. striata, and Podospora fimiseda, are phylogenetically closely related (Cai et al. 2006b). Two species from Thielavia (Th. hyalocarpa and Th. intermedia) were placed in Cladorrhinum based on their phylogenetic affinities with the type species of this genus. Therefore, this genus is re-defined to accommodate sexually producing species. Phylogenetic evidence indicated that the morphologically defined Cladorrhinum is polyphyletic (Carmarán et al. 2015). Based on the phylogenetic analysis (Wang et al. 2019a), Cladorrhinum bulbillosum and Clad. phialophoroides, belong to the redefined genera Podospora and Triangularia, respectively. Further work is needed to delimit the phylogenetic position of the Cladorrhinum species. 

Cladorrhinum is found in soil as saprobes on dung or plant material (Lewis & Larkin 1998, Madrid et al. 2011), or in roots as endophytes (Gasoni & Stegman de Gurfinkel 1997). Also, C. foecundissimum and some species have activity against damping-off of the various crops caused by Rhizoctonia solani and Pythium ultimum (Domsch & Gams 1968, Lewis & Larkin 1998, Gasoni & Gurfinkel 2009).

 

Type species: Cladorrhinum foecundissimum Sacc. & Marchal.

Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Cladorrhinum.
