Index Fungorum, Facesoffungi, MycoBank, GenBank, Fig. 1           Classification: Lepidostromataceae, Lepidostromatales, Agaricomycetidae, Agaricomycetes, Agaricomycotina, Basidiomycota, Fungi. Ertzia (Lepidostromataceae) was established by Hodkinson et al. (2014) with the type species Ertzia akagerae, previously identified as Multiclavula akagerae, and Lepidostroma akagerae (Fischer et al. 2007, Ertz et al. 2008). Later, Hodkinson et al. (2014) revised and proposed a new genus Ertzia based on morphological characteristics comparison and phylogenetic analysis. The distinctive characteristics of Ertzia is the microsquamulose thallus forming contiguous glomerules with a cortex of characteristic, jig-saw-puzzle-shaped cells and lacking medulla. However, photobionts have not yet been identified. Basidiomata clavarioid, unbranched to very rarely branched. Basidiospores ovoid (Fischer et al. 2007, Ertz et al. 2008). Type species: Ertzia akagerae (Eb. Fischer, Ertz, Killmann & Sérusiaux) Hodkinson & Lücking Other accepted species: This genus is monotypic.       [...]

(2024) in prep – Fungalpedia, Fossil Fungi.  Index Fungorum, Facesoffungi, MycoBank, GenBank, Fig. 1 Classification: Fungi Incertae sedis, Amerosporae. The monotypic fossil genus, Exesisporites, was described from the Northern Gulf of Mexico's Miocene-Pleistocene (23–2 mya) sediments (Elsik 1969). This genus is characterized by unicellular, aseptate, psilate, and monoporate spores with a circular outline and a lenticular to spherical shape. It has a centrally located pore, which in most specimens is surrounded by a dark circular patch that is interpreted as a thickened wall.

Index Fungorum, Facesoffungi, MycoBank, GenBank, Fig. 1  Classification: Extremaceae, Mycosphaerellales, Dothideomycetidae, Dothideomycetes, Pezizomycotina, Ascomycota, Fungi. Based on DNA sequence and morphological analyses, Quaedvlieg et al. (2014) erected Extremus within Extremaceae, Mycosphaerellales, in Dothideomycetes with the type species E. adstrictus. The type species was initially described as Devriesia adstricta by Egidi et al. (2014). Later, this genus was an invalid deal to be published as a combination but 'basionym' (Nom. inval., Art. 40.1, see Arts 40.3 and Arts 6.3, 12.1 (Melbourne)). In 2019, this genus was validated on the basis of its morphology and DNA sequences (Crous et al. 2019). Currently, three taxa are included within Extremus viz: E. adstrictus from rocks in Spain, E. antarcticus from rocks in Antarctica, and E.

Index Fungorum, Facesoffungi, MycoBank, GenBank, Fig. 1  Classification: Incertae sedis, Arthoniales, Arthoniomycetidae, Arthoniomycetes, Pezizomycotina, Ascomycota, Fungi. Felipes was introduced by Frisch et al. (2014), and Felipes leucopellaeus was the type species, whereas only species that have been found in this genus.  The species was identified based on morphology and mtSSU, LSU, RPB2 sequence data (Frisch et al. 2014). Based on phylogeny, the Felipes clade was identified as having close affinities to Chrysotrichaceae. Despite their significant morphological diversity, the species in this clade are distinguished by their trentepohlioid photosbionts, adnate ascomata, a dark brown epithecium, and proper exciples composed of densely intertwined tips of paraphysoids and parathecial hyphae, a well-developed hyaline or dark brown [...]

Index Fungorum, Facesoffungi, MycoBank, GenBank, Fig. 1  Classification: Fereydouniaceae, Urocystidales, Incertae sedis, Ustilaginomycetes, Ustilaginomycotina, Basidiomycota, Fungi. Fereydouniaceae was introduced by Nasr et al. (2014) to accommodate the genus Fereydounia and species F. khargensis. Fereydounia khargensis has been identified in plant remnants of Iran (Nasr et al. 2014). These asexual species live freely in the environment and are not connected to any host plant. Ballistoconidia of these species are blastospores with retraction septate hyphae and pseudohyphae. Vegetative reproduction occurs through polar budding of blastospores in short stalks. However, sexual morph structures and teliospore production have not yet been identified (Nasr et al. 2014). The nuclear SSU, LSU [...]
