Fungalpedia – Note 208, Hapalophragmites (Fossil Fungi)   Hapalophragmites Ramanujam & Ramachar. Citation when using this data: Saxena RK & Hyde KD. 2024 (in prep) – Fungalpedia, Fossil Fungi.  Index Fungorum, Facesoffungi, MycoBank, GenBank, Fig. 1 Classification: Raveneliaceae, Pucciniales, Pucciniomycetes, Basidiomycota, Fungi The fossil genus Hapalophragmites was described by Ramanujam & Ramachar (1980) from the Neyveli lignite (Miocene, 23–5 mya) of Neyveli, Cuddalore District, Tamil Nadu, India. Hapalophragmites includes triquetrously three-celled pedicellate teliospores with an odd number of cell terminals. The two basal cells are borne on a common stalk. The wall is cinnamon-brown. One germ pore is observed in each cell type. According to Ramanujam & Ramachar (1980), this genus is commonly found in the Neyveli lignite. The pedicel is not preserved in all specimens, but its attachment point is marked by a slight flattening of [...]

Fungalpedia– Note 4 Havispora   Havispora K.L. Pang & Vrijmoed   Citation if using this entry: Noorabadi MT & Hyde KD (2023) New genera in 2008. Mycosphere (in press)  Index Fungorum Identifier 506744, Facesoffungi, MycoBank, GenBank, freshwater fungi.org, Fig 1  Pang et al (2008) introduced Havispora Pang & Vrijmoed as a monotypic genus, typified by Havispora longyearbyenensis Pang & Vrijmoed. The type was isolated as an arctic marine fungus from driftwood on the bouldery shore at Longyearbyen, Svalbard in Norway and is a saprobe. Havispora longyearbyenensis was placed in Halosphaeriaceae based on fundamental morphological characteristics such as persistent asci without an apical structure and hyaline ascospores with appendages. Havispora longyearbyenensis is characterized by black, ellipsoidal or subglobose ascomata, lack of periphyses, clavate, thin-walled, unitunicate, 8-spored, persistent asci, and ellipsoidal, thin-walled ascospores with one appendage at each pole and four equatorial appendages of [...]

Fungalpedia – Note 299, Hawksworthiomyces   Hawksworthiomyces Z.W. de Beer, Marinc. & M.J. Wingf. Citation when using this entry: Perera et al. 2024 (in prep) – Fungalpedia, genera described in 2016.  Index Fungorum, Facesoffungi, MycoBank, GenBank, Fig. 1 Classification: Incertae sedis, Ophiostomatales, Diaporthomycetidae, Sordariomycetes, Pezizomycotina, Ascomycota, Fungi De Beer et al. (2016) described the new genus Hawksworthiomyces based on Sporothrix lignivora (=Hawksworthiomyces lignivorus) as the type. The asexual morph of Hawksworthiomyces is characterized by mycelial with mononematous, micronematous or macronematous conidiophores. Conidiogenous cells are polyblastic, integrated or discrete and terminal or intercalary with denticulate apical part. Conidia are hyaline, aseptate and ellipsoidal to cylindrical. Secondary conidia are occasionally produced. The sexual morph is undetermined. In the analysis of LSU and ITS sequences Hawksworthiomyces formed a monophyletic lineage in Ophiostomatales distinct from other genera [...]

This saprobic fungal genus, found inside Salvinia intertrappea megaspores, is characterized by septate and branched mycelium (5-6 μm in breadth) and faint hyphae. Pycnidium and acervulus absent. Conidia coiled in loose spirals (21-32 x 20-30 μm) and narrow at both ends.

Fungalpedia - Note 34 Heliogaster   Heliogaster Orihara & K. Iwase Citation if using this entry: Fallahi et al. (2023) New genera in 2010-2011. Mycosphere (in prep) Index Fungorum, Facesoffungi, MycoBank, GenBank, Fig 1. The monotypic sequestrate genus Heliogaster was described in Boletaceae by Orihara et al. (2010). The genus accommodates a single species Heliogaster columellifer, formerly named Octaviania columellifera (Kobayasi 1937). It is usually found under Abies firma (Pinaceae) in Japan. Orihara et al. (2010) used morphological and nuclear large subunit (nLSU) and ITS sequence data to evaluate herbarium and fresh specimens of Octaviania columellifera and Octaviania asterosperma sensu lato (Japanese Octaviania asterosperma). They found these two species were identical in morphological and molecular characteristics and obviously diverse from the generally known Octaviania asterosperma. In the phylogenetic assay, they clustered in the same lineage with [...]

Fungalpedia – Note 254, Hilidicellites (Fossil Fungi)   Hilidicellites Kalgutkar & Janson.  Citation when using this entry: Saxena RK & Hyde KD. 2024 (in prep) – Fungalpedia, Fossil Fungi.  Index Fungorum, Facesoffungi, MycoBank, GenBank, Fig. 1 Classification: Fossil Ascomycota, Incertae sedis Kalgutkar & Jansonius (2000) instituted the genus Hilidicellites to accommodate Dicellaesporites appendiculatus, originally described by Sheffy & Dilcher (1971), from the Claiborne Formation (Middle Eocene, 56–34 mya) of Puryear clay pit, 800 m south of Puryear, Henry County, Tennessee, USA. This genus is characterized by small-to medium-sized dicellate fungal spores, with the proximal end flattened or truncated due to the presence of a hilum or pore-like structure. The two cells are generally of comparable size. Spore wall thin or of medium thickness, smooth or with subdued sculpture, generally thinner than septal base. Didymoporisporonites differs from Hilidicellites in having proximal [...]

(2014) established Hispidaedalea to accommodate the type species Hispidaedalea imponens (Gloeophyllum imponens). Hispidaedalea is characterized by a strigose upper surface of basidiocarps, distinct daedaleoid to lamellate hymenophore, clavate basidia with four sterigmata, cylindrical basidiospores, and hyaline (He et al. 2014). Hispidaedalea species are present in the subtropics and tropics of fallen angiosperm trunks, causing brown rot (Corner 1987, Dai 2012, He et al. 2014). No other species have been introduced to this genus, which remains monotypic. Type species: Hispidaedalea imponens (Ces.) Y.C. Dai & [...]

Fungalpedia - Note 18 Hondaea   Citation: Bhunjun et al. 2023 – Fungalpedia, genera described in 2018, Mycosphere (in press)   Hondaea A. Amato & O. Cagnac Index Fungorum, Facesoffungi, MycoBank, GenBank, Fig. 1 Thraustochytrids as marine protists are highly ecologically relevant to mangrove environments (Raghukumar et al. 1994, Burki et al. 2014). Dellero et al. (2018) collected two thraustochytrid strains from mangroves in Mayotte island (Indian Ocean), one of which was proposed as a new genus Hondaea based on morphological, phylogenetic, genomic and lipidomic analyses. Hondaea is a mono-specific genus with Hondaea fermentalgiana as the type species (Dellero et al. 2018). There are no further reports of Hondaea species in Species Fungorum (2023). Hondaea is characterized by spherical or subspherical, uninuclear or multinuclear vegetative cells, and the absence of ectoplasmic nets and amoeboid cells. Heterokaryotic zoospores are released by zoosporangia, produced by multinucleated cell division. [...]

Karst is a hydnoid mushroom genus that was established by P. Karst. in 1879, and it is typified by Hydnellum suaveolens (Scop.) P. Karst (Maas 1975, Loizides et al. 2016). Hydnellum is an important genus within the Bankeracea and is well known for forming ectomycorrhizal associations with woody plants, particularly those in the Pinaceae and Fagaceae families (Nitare et al. 2021, Mu et al. 2021, Song et al. 2022). Hydnellum species have a cosmopolitan distribution, mainly distributed in Asia, Europe, and North America, with a few [...]
