Longicorpus (L.), was introduced by Zhang et al. (2019a), with L. striataspora as the type species, which was found as a saprobe on mangrove palm (Nypa fruticans). Currently, there is only one accepted species listed in Index Fungorum (2024). To date, no report of this genus has been documented from peat swamp forests. In this study, we found L. striataspora as a saprobe on submerged rachides of Eleiodoxa conferta in the peat swamp forest in Narathiwat, Thailand, and report this as a new host and habitat record.
Type species: Longicorpus striatisporus (K.D. Hyde) S.N. Zhang, K.D. Hyde & Jian K. Liu, MycoKeys 49: 118 (2019).
Other accepted species: Species Fungorum – search Longicorpus.
