Fungalpedia - Note 57 Neoaleurodiscus   Neoaleurodiscus Sheng H. Wu, in Wu, Wang & Yu Citation if using this entry: Fallahi et al. (2023) New genera in 2010-2011. Mycosphere (in prep) Index Fungorum, Facesoffungi; MycoBank, GenBank, Fig 1  Wu et al. (2010) demonstrated that based on morphology and phylogenetic analysis of LSU nrDNA, Neoaleurodiscus (Stereaceae, Russulales) was distinct from other segregate genera of Aleurodiscus sensu lato (Basidiomycota). Therefore, the new genus Neoaleurodiscus with one new species Neoaleurodiscus fujii and one new combination Neoaleurodiscus monilifer was proposed. Acanthobasidium and Aleurodiscus (sensu stricto) are most closely related to Neoaleurodiscus, but these genera have warted or spiny basidiospores. Neoaleurodiscus fujii, the type species was obtained from specimens on trunks of Rhododendron sp., collected at the timberline of Mount Fuji, Japan. The genus members are distinguished by having a disciform basidiocarp, lack of acanthophyses, abundant moniliform gloeocystidia, and monomitic and nodose-septate hyphae. Basidia are sub-clavate, somewhat flexuous, with [...]

Index Fungorum, Facesoffungi, MycoBank, GenBank, Fig 1. Neoamphisphaeria was introduced by Samarakoon et al. (2022) in Appendicosporaceae, Amphisphaeriales, Xylariomycetidae, Sordariomycetes with Neoamphisphaeria hyalinospora as the type species based on morphology and phylogenetic analysis of combined ITS-LSU-rpb2-tub2-tef1 sequence data. The type species was reported as saprobic on dead twigs in Thailand. Neoamphisphaeria is characterized by solitary, immersed ascomata, conical with flattened or subglobose base and septate, branched paraphyses. Ostioles are filled with white amorphous tissue and asci are cylindrical, unitunicate, with a bi-lobed or dome-shaped, J−, apical ring, with a rounded apex. Ascospores are uniseriate, hyaline, broadly ellipsoidal, aseptate when immature, 1-septate when mature, and lacking a mucilaginous sheath (Samarakoon et al. 2022). The ostiolar canal is [...]

Fungalpedia – Note 279, Neoanthostomella   Neoanthostomella D.Q. Dai & K.D. Hyde 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, Xylariales, Xylariomycetidae, Sordariomycetes, Pezizomycotina, Ascomycota, Fungi Dai et al. (2017) introduced Neoanthostomella with its type N. pseudostromatica. Subsequently there are four species added to the genus (Daranagama et al. 2016; Tennakoon et al. 2021). However, after examine the holotype material and based on phylogenetic analysis Samarakoon et al. (2022) confirmed that N. fici and N. viticola clustered within Anthostomella helicofissa strains. Therefore, only two species (N. bambusicola and N. pseudostromatica) can be recognized within Neoanthostomella. The genus is characterized by solitary to gregarious pseudostromata that are circular to elliptical and raised as blacked areas on the host tissue. [...]

Index Fungorum, Facesoffungi; MycoBank, GenBank, Fig. 1  Classification: Teratosphaeriaceae, Mycosphaerellales, Dothideomycetidae, Dothideomycetes, Pezizomycotina, Ascomycota, Fungi. Based on morphological and DNA sequence analyses, Quaedvlieg et al. (2014) introduced Neocatenulostroma within Teratosphaeriaceae in Mycosphaerellales with the type species Neocatenulostroma microsporum. Neocatenulostroma comprises species that are either plant pathogenic (N. abietis and N. microsporum) or found on rocks (N. germanicum). Although N. abietis was initially regarded as plant pathogenic, it has subsequently been discovered in various substrates, frequently appearing as either a saprobe or endophyte in pine needles (Quaedvlieg et al. 2014). This genus includes endophytic, plant pathogenic, and saprobic taxa (Quaedvlieg et al. 2014). Neocatenulostroma sexual morph characterized by immersed mycelium, immersed, with small [...]
