Naming and outline of Dothideomycetes-2014 including proposals for the protection or suppression of generic names

Article 59.1, of the International Code of Nomenclature for Algae, Fungi, and Plants (ICN; Melbourne Code), which addresses the nomenclature of pleomorphic fungi, became effective from 30 July 2011. Since that date, each fungal species can have one nomenclaturally correct name in a particular classification. All other previously used names for this species will be considered as synonyms. The older generic epithet takes priority over the younger name. Any widely used younger names proposed for use, must comply with Art. 57.2 and their usage should be approved by the Nomenclature Committee for Fungi (NCF). In this paper, we list all genera currently accepted by us in Dothideomycetes (belonging to 23 orders and 110 families), including pleomorphic and nonpleomorphic genera. In the case of pleomorphic genera, we follow the rulings of the current ICN and propose single generic names for future usage. The taxonomic placements of 1261 genera are listed as an outline. Protected names and suppressed names for 34 pleomorphic genera are listed separately. Notes and justifications are provided for possible proposed names after the list of genera. Notes are also provided on recent advances in our understanding of asexual and sexual morph linkages in Dothideomycetes. A phylogenetic tree based on four gene analyses supported 23 orders and 75 families, while 35 families still lack molecular data

FungalTraits:A user-friendly traits database of fungi and fungus-like stramenopiles

The cryptic lifestyle of most fungi necessitates molecular identification of the guild in environmental studies. Over the past decades, rapid development and affordability of molecular tools have tremendously improved insights of the fungal diversity in all ecosystems and habitats. Yet, in spite of the progress of molecular methods, knowledge about functional properties of the fungal taxa is vague and interpretation of environmental studies in an ecologically meaningful manner remains challenging. In order to facilitate functional assignments and ecological interpretation of environmental studies we introduce a user friendly traits and character database FungalTraits operating at genus and species hypothesis levels. Combining the information from previous efforts such as FUNGuild and Fun(Fun) together with involvement of expert knowledge, we reannotated 10,210 and 151 fungal and Stramenopila genera, respectively. This resulted in a stand-alone spreadsheet dataset covering 17 lifestyle related traits of fungal and Stramenopila genera, designed for rapid functional assignments of environmental studies. In order to assign the trait states to fungal species hypotheses, the scientific community of experts manually categorised and assigned available trait information to 697,413 fungal ITS sequences. On the basis of those sequences we were able to summarise trait and host information into 92,623 fungal species hypotheses at 1% dissimilarity threshold

Outline of Fungi and fungus-like taxa

This article provides an outline of the classification of the kingdom Fungi (including fossil fungi. i.e. dispersed spores, mycelia, sporophores, mycorrhizas). We treat 19 phyla of fungi. These are Aphelidiomycota, Ascomycota, Basidiobolomycota, Basidiomycota, Blastocladiomycota, Calcarisporiellomycota, Caulochytriomycota, Chytridiomycota, Entomophthoromycota, Entorrhizomycota, Glomeromycota, Kickxellomycota, Monoblepharomycota, Mortierellomycota, Mucoromycota, Neocallimastigomycota, Olpidiomycota, Rozellomycota and Zoopagomycota. The placement of all fungal genera is provided at the class-, order- and family-level. The described number of species per genus is also given. Notes are provided of taxa for which recent changes or disagreements have been presented. Fungus-like taxa that were traditionally treated as fungi are also incorporated in this outline (i.e. Eumycetozoa, Dictyosteliomycetes, Ceratiomyxomycetes and Myxomycetes). Four new taxa are introduced: Amblyosporida ord. nov. Neopereziida ord. nov. and Ovavesiculida ord. nov. in Rozellomycota, and Protosporangiaceae fam. nov. in Dictyosteliomycetes. Two different classifications (in outline section and in discussion) are provided for Glomeromycota and Leotiomycetes based on recent studies. The phylogenetic reconstruction of a four-gene dataset (18S and 28S rRNA, RPB1, RPB2) of 433 taxa is presented, including all currently described orders of fungi

Refined families of Dothideomycetes: Dothideomycetidae and Pleosporomycetidae

The class Dothideomycetes is the largest and most ecologically diverse class of fungi, comprising endophytes, epiphytes, saprobes, human and plant pathogens, lichens, and lichenicolous, nematode trapping and rock-inhabiting taxa. Members of this class are mainly characterized by bitunicate asci with fissitunicate dehiscence, and occur on broad range of hosts in aquatic and terrestrial habitats. Since the last monograph of families of Dothideomycetes in 2013, numerous novel species, genera, families and orders have been discovered. This has expanded information which has led to the modern classification in Dothideomycetes. In this paper, we provide a refined updated document on families of Dothideomycetes with emphasis on Dothideomycetidae and Pleosporomycetidae. We accept three orders with 25 families and four orders with 94 families in Dothideomycetidae and Pleosporomycetidae, respectively. The new family Paralophiostomataceae is introduced in Pleosporales. Each family is provided with an updated description, notes, including figures to represent the morphology, list of accepted genera, and economic and ecological significances. We also provide an overall phylogenetic tree of families in Dothideomycetes based on combined analysis of LSU, SSU, rpb-2 and tefl sequence data, and phylogenetic trees for each order in Dothideomycetidae and Pleosporomycetidae. Family-level trees are provided for the families which include several genera such as Mycosphaerellaceae and Teratosphaeriaceae. Two new genera (Ligninsphaeriopsis and Paralophiostoma) are introduced. Five new species (Biatrisopora borsei, Comoclathris galatellae, Ligninsphaeriopsis thailandica, Paralophiostoma hysterioides and Torula thailandica) are introduced based on morphology and phylogeny, together with nine new reports and seven new collections from different families

A new genus of Bambusicolaceae (Pleosporales) on Corylus avellana (Fagales) from Italy

In this study, we introduce Corylicola gen. nov. in the family of Bambusicolaceae (Pleosporales), to accommodate Corylicola italica sp. nov. The new species was isolated from dead branches of Corylus avellana (common hazel) in Italy. The discovery of this new genus with both sexual and asexual characters will contribute to expand the knowledge and taxonomic framework of Bambusicolaceae.Corylicola gen. nov. has similar morphological characters compared to other genera of Bambusicolaceae. These are solitary, scattered, globose to subglobose and ostiolate ascomata; anastomosing and branching pseudoparaphyses; cylindrical asci with a well-developed ocular chamber and short furcate pedicel; and single-septate ascospores. The coelomycetous asexual morph of Corylicola has holoblastic, phialidic conidiogenous cells and light brown conidia analogous to other members in the family. Corylicola differs from the other genera of Bambusicolaceae in having yellowish-brown ascospore masses at the top of the ascomatal neck. Detailed morphological illustrations with comprehensive descriptions for the new taxa are provided, as well as a key to the genera of Bambusicolaceae. Maximum Likelihood analysis and Bayesian Inference of a combined SSU, LSU, ITS, RPB2 and TEF1 sequence dataset confirms the placement of this genus as a distinct lineage in Bambusicolaceae

Bimuria omanensis Wijesinghe, Wanas., Al-Sadi, K.D. Hyde & Maharachch., sp. nov. Index Fungorum number: IF557436; Facesoffungi number: FoF 07928; FIGURE 2. Etymology:—Name reflects the county Oman, from where the species was isolated. Holotype:— SQU H-115 Asexual morph: Coelomycetous. Conidiomata pycnidial, arise on mycelia as black spore mass, aggregated clusters are scattered, irregular and superficial to semi-immersed. Conidiomatal wall composed of thick-walled, pale to dark brown cells of textura angularis. Conidiogenous cells 8–9 × 7–8 µm (x̄ = 8.36 × 7.6 µm, n=10), enteroblastic, phialidic, ampulliform or short cylindrical, determinate, sometimes cylindrical, with elongate neck, rough and hyaline. Conidia 7–10 × 3–4.5 µm (x̄ = 8.84 × 3.94 µm, n = 25) oblong to cylindrical, 1- septate, smooth and thin walled, hyaline to pale brown. Culture characteristics:—Colonies on PDA reaching 60 mm diam. after 14 days at 24 °C, dark grey to brown in upper surface. Known distribution:— Oman (this study) Material examined:— OMAN, The Jebel Akhdar, Dakhiliyah Governorat, on decaying leaves of unidentified plant, July 2016, SSN Maharachchikumbura OM09 (SQU H-115, holotype), ex-type living culture SQUCC 15280. Gene sequence data: ITS (MT274326), LSU (MT271820), TEF-1α (MT279046) Notes:—In our DNA sequence analysis, Bimuria novae-zelandiae (CBS 107.79) and B. omanensis (SQUCC 15280) are monophyletic with strong bootstrap support (Fig. 1). Morphological comparison between these taxa are currently impossible as B. novae-zelandiae is known from its sexual morph and only the asexual morph is known for B. omanensis. Comparison of the 570 ITS (+ 5.8S) nucleotides of these strains reveals 70 (12.3%) nucleotide differences. This could be due to ITS polymorphisms (Stadler et al. 2020) and it is not surprising that these strains appear to belong to the same species. A comparison of the 852 nucleotides across the TEF-1α region revealed 32 bp (3.75%) differences between these strains suggesting these are distinct species (Jeewon & Hyde 2016). Bimuria novae-zelandiae was isolated from soil of a barley field in New Zealand (Hawksworth et al. 1979). Bimuria omanensis was collected from a decaying leaf of a desert shrub in Ad Dakhiliyah Governorate, Oman. Therefore, based on the molecular data and habitat differences, we conclude that these two taxa are distinct species. Didymosporina aceris, Gordonomyces mucovaginatus and Lichenodiplis lecanorae share similar conidial morphology to Bimuria omanensis (Wijayawardene et al. 2016). Phylogenetically Gordonomyces mucovaginatus and Lichenodiplis lecanorae are not closely related to Bimuria omanensis (data not shown) and sequence data are unavailable for Didymosporina aceris.Published as part of Wijesinghe, Subodini N., Wanasinghe, Dhanushka N., Maharachchikumbura, Sajeewa S.
