Hygrophorus subsect. Hygrophorus has been relatively well-studied in Europe and North America, but studies on the taxa in Asia, particularly in China, are still limited. In this study, phylogenetic overviews of genus Hygrophorus, based on the nuclear large subunit (LSU) ribosomal RNA gene and of subsect. Hygrophorus, based on the nuclear ribosomal internal transcribed spacer (ITS) regions were generated

Two new species of Ophiostomatales (Sordariomycetes) associated with the bark beetle Dryocoetes alni from Poland. MycoKeys (IF 2.525) Pub Date : 2020-06-17 Beata Strzałka,Robert Jankowiak,Piotr Bilański,Nikita Patel,Georg Hausner,Riikka Linnakoski,Halvor Solheim
Bark beetles belonging to the genus Dryocoetes (Coleoptera, Curculionidae, Scolytinae) are known vectors of fungi, such as the pathogenic species Grosmannia dryocoetidis involved in alpine fir (Abies lasiocarpa) mortality. Associations between hardwood-infesting Dryocoetes species and fungi in Europe have received very little research attention. Ectosymbiotic fungi residing in Ceratocystiopsis and

Three new Curvularia species from clinical and environmental sources. MycoKeys (IF 2.525) Pub Date : 2020-06-17 Isabel Iturrieta-González,Josepa Gené,Nathan Wiederhold,Dania García
Curvularia is a Pleosporalean monophyletic genus with a great diversity of species, including relevant phytopathogenic, animal and human pathogenic fungi. However, their microscopic identification is difficult due to overlapping morphological features amongst species. In recent years, multi-locus sequence analysis using the ITS region of the rDNA and fragments of the genes gapdh and tef1 revealed numerous

Diversity and toxigenicity of fungi and description of Fusarium madaense sp. nov. from cereals, legumes and soils in north-central Nigeria. MycoKeys (IF 2.525) Pub Date : 2020-06-08 Chibundu N Ezekiel,Bart Kraak,Marcelo Sandoval-Denis,Michael Sulyok,Oluwawapelumi A Oyedele,Kolawole I Ayeni,Oluwadamilola M Makinde,Oluwatosin M Akinyemi,Rudolf Krska,Pedro W Crous,Jos Houbraken
Mycological investigation of various foods (mainly cowpea, groundnut, maize, rice, sorghum) and agricultural soils from two states in north-central Nigeria (Nasarawa and Niger), was conducted in order to understand the role of filamentous fungi in food contamination and public health. A total of 839 fungal isolates were recovered from 84% of the 250 food and all 30 soil samples. Preliminary identifications

A taxonomic reassessment of the genus Balsamia from China. MycoKeys (IF 2.525) Pub Date : 2020-06-04 Yu-Yan Xu,Xiang-Yuan Yan,Ting Li,Li Fan
Molecular analysis of the genus Balsamia was conducted with ITS and 28S sequences available, including newly gained sequences from Chinese specimens. Combined with the morphological examinations, a new hypogeous species, Balsamia lishanensis was described and illustrated from North China, which is morphologically characterized by reddish brown ascomata covered with fine warts, the whitish gleba with

First record of Harpellales, Orphellales (Kickxellomycotina) and Amoebidiales (Mesomycetozoea) from Bulgaria, including a new species of Glotzia. MycoKeys (IF 2.525) Pub Date : 2020-05-27 Laia Guàrdia Valle,Desislava Stoianova
This paper presents the results obtained from a short survey performed in Bulgaria, southeast Europe, where the trichomycetes (sensu lato), an ecological group of arthropod gut endosymbionts, were previously completely unknown. The present study initiates the comprehension of these cryptic organisms, members of the Kickxellomycotina (Harpellales, Orphellales) and the Mesomycetozoea (Amoebidiales),

The first Laboulbeniales (Ascomycota, Laboulbeniomycetes) from an American millipede, discovered through social media. MycoKeys (IF 2.525) Pub Date : 2020-05-14 Sergi Santamaria,Henrik Enghoff,Ana Sofia Reboleira
Laboulbeniales are highly specialized arthropod-associated fungi. The majority of the almost 2200 known species live on insects, although they also occur on other arthropod hosts. Recently, the number of Laboulbeniales associated with millipedes has increased considerably. Here we describe the first species of a Laboulbeniales fungus, Troglomyces twitteri sp. nov., from an American millipede. The new

New species of Retiboletus (Boletales, Boletaceae) from China based on morphological and molecular data. MycoKeys (IF 2.525) Pub Date : 2020-05-14 Hai-Ying Liu,Yan-Chun Li,Tolgor Bau
Species of the genus Retiboletus in China were investigated based on morphology and phylogenetic analysis of DNA sequences from the nuclear ribosomal large subunit (nrLSU) and the translation elongation factor 1-α gene (TEF1-α). Nine species were recovered from China, including two new and seven known species. The new species, namely Retiboletus ater and R. sinogriseus, from southwestern and northeastern

Gnomoniopsis chinensis (Gnomoniaceae, Diaporthales), a new fungus causing canker of Chinese chestnut in Hebei Province, China. MycoKeys (IF 2.525) Pub Date : 2020-05-14 Ning Jiang,Ling-Yu Liang,Cheng-Ming Tian
Chinese chestnut (Castanea mollissima) is an important crop tree species in China. However, branch canker and fruit rot are two kinds of severe diseases, which weaken the host and decrease chestnut production. During our investigations into chestnut diseases in China, several fungi have been confirmed as casual agents in previous studies, namely Aurantiosacculus castaneae, Cryphonectria neoparasitica

Three new Diaporthe species from Shaanxi Province, China. MycoKeys (IF 2.525) Pub Date : 2020-05-04 Qin Yang,Ning Jiang,Cheng-Ming Tian
Diaporthe species (Sordariomycetes, Diaporthales) are often reported as important plant pathogens, saprobes and endophytes on a wide range of plant hosts. In this study, Diaporthe specimens were collected from symptomatic twigs and branches at the Huoditang Forest Farm in Shaanxi Province, China. Identification was done using a combination of morphology and comparison of DNA sequence data of the nuclear

Squamarina (lichenised fungi) species described from China belong to at least three unrelated genera. MycoKeys (IF 2.525) Pub Date : 2020-04-24 Yan-Yun Zhang,Xin-Yu Wang,Li-Juan Li,Christian Printzen,Einar Timdal,Dong-Ling Niu,An-Cheng Yin,Shi-Qiong Wang,Li-Song Wang
New collections of six Squamarina species from type localities in China were studied. The comparison of morphological characteristics and secondary metabolites with those of the type specimens and phylogenetic analyses suggest that S. callichroa and S. pachyphylla belong to Rhizoplaca, S. semisterilis belongs to Lobothallia and S. chondroderma should be retained in Lecanora temporarily. Only two species
