Novel species of microfungi described in the present study include following from Australia: Phytophthora amnicola still water, Gnomoniopsis smithogilvyi Castanea sp., Pseudoplagiostoma corymbiae Corymbia Diaporthe eucalyptorum Eucalyptus Sporisorium andrewmitchellii Enneapogon aff. lindleyanus, Myrmecridium banksiae Banksia, and Pilidiella wangiensis sp. Several are also South Africa, namely: Gondwanamyces wingfieldii Protea caffra, Montagnula aloes Aloe canthii Canthium inerne,...

Summary The anamorphic fungus C ryptostroma corticale ( X ylariaceae) causing s ooty bark disease SBD ) of A cer pseudoplatanus has been reported within the past decade in several E uropean countries. In last decade, severe drought conditions during summer also resulted an outbreak park areas P rague zech R epublic). Trees with typical syndromes were recorded four localities rague. Some trees located alluvial plain V ltava iver groundwater available all year long. We suppose that stressed by...
A high number of fungal strains were isolated from roots Brassicaceae species collected across western and southern Europe, resulting in an unexpectedly rich collection Cadophora species. These isolates enable us to present a new comprehensive view the ecological, morphological, phylogenetic traits root-inhabiting members this helotialean genus. We provide placement all our based on four-gene dataset, analyze their phenotypic relation relationships, infer potential distribution ranges by...
ABSTRACT Recent progress in the discovery of fungal diversity has been enabled by intensive mycological surveys centres global biodiversity. Descriptions new species have almost routinely based on phenotypic studies coupled with single or multigene phylogenetic analyses DNA sequence data. However, high accessibility sequencing services together an increasing amount available molecular data are providing easier and less critical support for taxonomic novelties without carefully studying...
Intensive mycological surveys in southern Benin focused on species of Hermatomyces (Pleosporales) resulted the collection and sequencing numerous specimens dead plant debris different hosts. Majority collections belonged to monomorphic H. sphaericus, except for two a hitherto unknown species, which is introduced as griseomarginatus. The fungus was collected twig Hymenocardia acida still attached tree peduncle Tectona grandis. It distinct having sporodochia with dense dark gray margin...
Summary The symptoms of ash dieback caused by the fungus Hymenoscyphus fraxineus include wilting foliage followed shoots, twigs and branches. Necroses in shoots are assumed to develop after infection through leaf petioles; however, clear evidence this pathway has not yet been provided. Considering multiple pathogen genotypes dead petioles, we aimed obtain a spatial overview all H. colonizing individual their corresponding petioles before shedding acquire precise information about biology its...
Five new species belonging to Hermatomyces (Hermatomycetaceae, Pleosporales) are described based on morphological investigations of specimens collected rotten twigs and stems various plants in Panama as well phylogenetic analyses sequence data nuclear ribosomal protein coding genes (EF1 -a. RPB2, β-TUB). The as: bifurcatus, H. constrictus, megasporus, sphaericoides, verrucosus spp. nov. Previously such sphaericus tucumanensis were identified among the studied specimens. combination,...
Summary Sooty bark disease ( SBD ) caused by the pathogen Cryptostroma corticale is currently one of risks to population Acer pseudoplatanus in Europe. After a number records symptomatic and dead trees Prague, assessment latent non‐symptomatic stage was questioned as means forecast health risk A. population. We used two methods early detection C. trees: cultivation from wood tissue on agar plates culture‐free approach based nested PCR with newly designed species‐specific primers. The...
The microscopic fungus Geomyces destructans is a psychrophilic dermatophyte causing since 2006 serious bat disease in North America called white-nose syndrome (WNS). In Europe, G. has also been recorded, however less commonly and without striking lethal effects. Currently, seven isolates of isolated from greater mouse-eared (Myotis myotis) four localities are maintained the Culture Collection Fungi (CCF) Prague. Growth tests at 12 15 °C on eight agar media demonstrated that grows somewhat...
