Spacicoides cordanoides, sp. nov., a new dematiaceous hyphomycete from submerged wood in Australia, with a taxonomic review of the genus

Abstract

Spadicoides cordanoides sp. nov. occurring on submerged wood in north Queensland, Australia is described and illustrated. It differs from all previously described Spadicoides species in having predominately obpyriform, versicolored, two celled conidia, in which the apical cell is verruculose. The current generic concept of the genus is briefly discussed and the 21 accepted species are illustrated. A key to Spadicoides species is provided.published_or_final_versio
