Fungalpedia - Note 451, Crocellina   Crocellina Tehler & Ertz Citation when using this data: Tibpromma et al. (in prep.) – Fungalpedia, Lichenicolous fungi. Index Fungorum, Facesoffungi, MycoBank, GenBank, Fig. 1  Classification: Roccellaceae, Arthoniales, Arthoniomycetidae, Arthoniomycetes, Pezizomycotina, Ascomycota, Fungi. Crocellina was proposed as a new genus by Ertz et al. (2014) in Roccellaceae (Arthoniales, Arthoniomycetes) and contained only one species, Crocellina cinerea, which is endemic to Socotra Island, where it grows on calcareous rocks near the sea. Morphologically, Crocellina resembles Roccellina, but differs mainly by the three-layered medulla with a conspicuously croceus and pronounced brown-tipped cortex hyphae (Ertz et al. 2014). Crocellina grown on substrate have a cream-colored thallus crustose, cortex with anticlinally arranged brown-tipped hyphae in a brownish gelatinous matrix, and three-layered thalli medulla. The sexual morph is characterized by apothecioid ascomata with a constricted base and fusiform ascospores, [...]

Fungalpedia - Note 480, Crocinoboletus   Crocinoboletus N.K. Zeng, Zhu L. Yang & G. Wu Citation when using this data: Tibpromma et al. 2024 (in prep.) – Fungalpedia, Macrofungi. Index Fungorum, Facesoffungi, MycoBank, GenBank, Fig. 1  Classification: Boletaceae, Boletales, Agaricomycetidae, Agaricomycetes, Agaricomycotina, Basidiomycota, Fungi. Crocinoboletus is a new genus that has been proposed to accommodate two species, Crocinoboletus rufoaureus and C. laetissimus, which were formerly named as Boletus rufoaureus and B. laetissimus, placed in the genus Boletus (Massee 1909, Hongo 1968, 1984, Horak 2011). Molecular and phylogenetic studies by Zeng et al. (2014) using nrLSU, RPB1, RPB2, and tef1-α revealed that B. rufoaureus and B. laetissimus formed well-supported separate lineage within Boletaceae, indicates that they are not the members of genus Boletus. Thus, a new genus, Crocinoboletus, and two new combinations of species, Crocinoboletus rufoaureus and C. laetissimus, were proposed. They are characterized by the brilliant orange color of basidiomata due to the [...]

Fungalpedia - Note 257, Cryphonectria   Cryphonectria (Sacc.) Sacc. & D. Sacc.  Citation when using this entry: Aumentado et al. 2024 (in prep) – Fungalpedia, plant pathogens.   Index Fungorum, Facesoffungi, MycoBank, GenBank, Fig 1.  Classification: Cryphonectriaceae, Diaporthales, Diaporthomycetidae, Sordariomycetes, Pezizomycotina, Ascomycota, Fungi  Cryphonectria belongs to Cryphonectriaceae (Diaporthales) (Gryzenhout et al. 2006a, 2006b), and was established to incorporate Nectria abscondita and N. variicolor, although the type species were not specified (Saccardo & Saccardo 1905, Jiang et al. 2018). Hence, Gryzenhout et al. (2005) proposed Cryphonectria parasitica as the type species of Cryphonectria, which is known to cause chestnut blight. The defining sexual characteristics of Cryphonectria include clustered or solitary, partially embedded, protruding orange ascostromata. The ascostromata are cylindrical-fusoid to club-shaped, attached to pedicels, and contain eight-spored asci exhibiting distinctive refractive J-shaped rings. The ascospores are elliptical, spindle-shaped, cylindrical, aseptate, typically transparent [...]

Citation when using this data: Saxena RK & Hyde KD. 2024 (in prep) – Fungalpedia, Fossil Fungi.  Index Fungorum, Facesoffungi, MycoBank, GenBank, Fig. 1 Classification: Dothideales, Fossil Ascomycota, Fungi The monotypic fossil genus Cucurbitariaceites was described by Kar et al. (1972) from the Tura Formation (Palaeocene, 66–56 mya) in Nongwal Bibra, Garo Hills, Meghalaya, India. This genus is characterized by subcircular to circular Pseudoperithecia, outer region darker than inner, laevigate. Asci are equal or unequal in size, cylindrical to somewhat bulging at the tips in the mature stage. No true paraphysis was observed, but in some specimens, the basal part of asci may join together to form a broad, irregular, mesh-like structure. Cucurbitariaceites bellus has been recorded from various states of India, e.g. Andaman [...]

Fungalpedia – Note 310, Cymostachys   Cymostachys L. Lombard & Crous Citation when using this entry: Perera et al. 2024 (in prep) – Fungalpedia, genera described in 2016.  Index Fungorum, Facesoffungi, MycoBank, GenBank, Fig. 1 Classification: Stachybotryaceae, Hypocreales, Hypocreomycetidae, Sordariomycetes, Pezizomycotina, Ascomycota, Fungi             Lombard et al. (2016) erected Cymostachys for a group of stachybotrys-like taxa that produce irregularly cymosely branched conidiophores and olivaceous brown to dark brown, fabiform conidia. Furthermore, they are distantly related to Stachybotrys s. str. in the phylogenetic analysis of cmdA, ITS, rpb2, and tub2 (Lombard et al. 2016). The conidiophores are macronematous, mononematous and arrange mostly in groups. They are erect, septate, irregularly cymosely branched, and hyaline to subhyaline, with thin and smooth to slightly verrucose walls. The conidiophores generated 3–6 phialidic conidiogenous cells from the [...]

Fungalpedia – Note 529, Danielozyma   Danielozyma Kurtzman & Robnett Citation when using this data: Tibpromma et al. 2024 (in prep.) – Fungalpedia, Yeast.  Index Fungorum, Facesoffungi, MycoBank, GenBank, Fig. 1  Classification: Incertae sedis, Incertae sedis, Incertae sedis, Saccharomycetes, Saccharomycotina, Ascomycota, Fungi. Danielozyma, a new non-ascosporic ascomycetous yeast genus, was introduced by Kurtzman and Robnett (2014) to reclassify C. ontarioensis and C. litseae. Kurtzman and Robnett (2014) combined Candida ontarioensis as Danielozyma ontarioensis as the type species and combined Candida litseae as Danielozyma litseae as the second species in Danielozyma, based on current descriptions (species and genera) and analysis of nuclear gene sequences (Kurtzman & Robn 1998, 2014, Kurtzman 2001). Currently, there are only two accepted species of Danielozyma. Danielozyma are formed by multilateral budding and formation of pseudohyphae and true hyphae, which are globosae or ellipsoidea to elongate, in pairs, and in short chains (Kurtzman [...]

Fungalpedia - Note 11 Dasyatispora   Dasyatispora A. Diamant, M. Goren, M.B. Yokes, B.S. Galil, Y. Klopman, D. Huchon, A. Szitenberg & S.Ü. Karhan   Citation if using this entry: Fahalli et al. (2023) New genera in 2010-2011. Mycosphere (in press) Index Fungorum Identifier 92221, Facesoffungi, MycoBank, GenBank, Fig 1. The monotypic genus Dasyatispora (Microsporidia, Protozoa) was introduced by Diamant et al. (2010). Dasyatispora levantinae, the type species of the genus was isolated from the Mediterranean common stingray Dasyatis pastinaca in Iskenderun Bay, Turkey. Disc muscle invasion by the parasite results in thin, spindle-shaped subcutaneous swellings that grow into large, elongated, tumor-like protuberances. These masses contained a yellowish-white caseous material made up of damaged host tissue and microsporidian sporophorous vesicles, which in turn contained sporonts, sporoblasts, and spores. The mature spore has a large posterior vacuole and a uni-nucleate [...]

Fungalpedia – Note 370, Datroniella   Datroniella B.K. Cui, Hai J. Li & Y.C. Dai Citation when using this data: Tibpromma et al. 2024 (in prep.) – Fungalpedia, Macrofungi. Index Fungorum, Facesoffungi, MycoBank, GenBank, Fig. 1 Classification: Polyporaceae, Polyporales, Incertae sedis, Agaricomycetes, Agaricomycotina, Basidiomycota, Fungi Based on phylogenetic analyses of ITS, LSU, and RBP2 and morphological studies, Li et al. (2014) proposed Datroniella as a new genus to accommodate four new species (Datroniella melanocarpa, Datroniella subtropica, Datroniella tibetica, and Datroniella tropica) and one species transferred from Datronia (Datroniella scutellata) as the type species. Subsequently, Datroniella minuta was introduced into this genus by de Lira et al. (2016). Later, the five species from Li et al. (2014) were transferred to Cerioporus based on a comparison of their morphological features by Zmitrovich (2018). Therefore, currently, only D. minuta belongs to this genus, which can be found in the dead wood found in [...]
