Notes – Kohlmeyeriopsis medullaris (≡ Gaeumannomyces medullaris) was reported on senescent culms of Juncus roemerianus in North Carolina. The genus has trichocladium-like asexual morphs (Klaubauf et al. 2014). The sexual morph has ellipsoid ascomata, fusoid to cylindrical asci with a large apical ring staining in Meltzer’s reagent, and filamentous, hyaline ascospores, which produce appressoria when germinating (Klaubauf et al. 2014).

 

Type species: Kohlmeyeriopsis medullaris (Kohlm., Volkm.-Kohlm. & O.E. Erikss.) Klaubauf, M.-H. Lebrun & Crous.

Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Kohlmeyeriopsis.
