A new clavarioid, lichenized basidiomycete, Bryoclavula phycophila gen. et sp. nov., is described from Japan based on morphological observations and molecular phylogenetic analyses. Although the fruiting bodies were dispersed on unidentified senescent bryophytes growing on a moist rock surface, the hyphae were not associated with the bryophyte cells. Instead, we confirmed that the hyphae loosely surrounded spherical algal cells present on the surface of bryophytes to form an undifferentiated thallus. The observations by transmission electron microscopy revealed that the alga had a pyrenoid. Morphological characters of B. phycophila were similar to those of lichenized species in the genus Multiclavula, but the new species differs from the latter in that it does not form a globular or bulbil-like thallus. Molecular sequence data of the large subunit of the nuclear ribosomal RNA gene showed that the species was placed in a new lineage in the order Cantharellales, clearly independent from the genus Multiclavula. A multispore isolate of B. phycophila was successfully established and the brief cultural characteristics are described.

嗜酸乳杆菌基因。等。十一月 属于一种新颖的地衣藻类（Basidiomycota）

一种新的锁骨，地衣芽孢杆菌，Bryoclavula phycophila gen。等。nov。是根据形态观察和分子系统发育分析从日本描述的。尽管子实体分散在潮湿岩石表面上生长的未鉴定衰老苔藓植物上，但菌丝与苔藓植物细胞无关。相反，我们证实了菌丝在苔藓植物的表面上松散地围绕着球形藻类细胞，从而形成了未分化的all。通过透射电子显微镜观察发现，藻类具有类胡萝卜素。形态特征B. phycophila是类似于那些属种地衣的Multiclavula，但新物种与后者的不同之处在于，它不会形成球形或鳞茎状的all。大亚基的核核糖体RNA基因的分子序列数据表明，该物种被放置在一个新的谱系顺序鸡油菌目，明确独立于属Multiclavula。成功地建立了一种芽孢杆菌多孢菌分离株，并描述了其简短的培养特性。
