Octosporaconidiophora is described as a new species, based on collections from South Africa. It characterised by apothecia with distinct margin, smooth or finely warted ellipsoid ascospores, stiff, thick-walled hyaline hairs, mycelial hyphae and growth pleurocarpous mosses Trichosteleumperchlorosum Sematophyllumbrachycarpum (Hypnales) decaying wood in afromontane forests. the first species of bryophilous Pezizales which an anamorph has been observed; it produces long, claviform, curved,...
The new genus Bryorutstroemia is established for the red-brown, stipitate, bryoparasitic discomycete Helotium fulvum Boud. Combined phylogenetic analysis of ITS and LSU rDNA EF1α revealed that fulva belongs to sclerotiniaceous clade, which comprises paraphyletic families Rutstroemiaceae Sclerotiniaceae. formed with Clarireedia a supported clade (Rutstroemiaceae s.l.), though high distance. closely resembles other in having uninucleate ascospores lipid content an ectal excipulum textura...
Thismia kelabitiana, a new unique species from the Sarawak state of Malaysia in island Borneo is described and illustrated. This not similar to any so far especially by having form mitre outer perianth lobes deeply divided into 8–10 acute forming striking fringe around tube opening. The appears be critically endangered due ongoing logging activities region. It may potentially become surrogate for lower montane forests region thus help protect them against further destruction.
The bryophilous ascomycete Octospora svrcekii, belonging to the section Wrightoideae, has so far been reported from only three localities in world. New collections Albania, Austria, Croatia, France, Slovakia and Spain have enabled a better understanding of its variability, ecology, distribution phylogenetic relationships with other taxa within Wrightoideae. svrcekii was always found associated Cratoneuron filicinum growing constantly humid habitats (brooks, rivers or waterfalls), on...
Lamprospora benkertii is described as a new species based on collections from Georgia, Germany, Norway, Slovakia, and Switzerland. It characterized by orange apothecia without fimbriate margin, globose ascospores with seaveri -type ornamentation comprising strong ridges forming reticulum secondary formed fine within the meshes of primary reticulum. The fungus infects rhizoids Trichostomum crispulum . Delineation supported LSU EF1α sequence analyses. compared other or similar ascospore...
Eckstein, J., Sochorová, Z. & Janošík, L. 2021. Octospora oscarii spec. nov. (Pezizales), a bryophilous ascomycete on the pleurocarpous moss Pseudotaxiphyllum elegans (Hypnales). – Herzogia 34: 286 –298. The is described as new species based collections from Central Germany and Czech Republic. It grows characterised by smooth ascospores an infection rhizoids of its host. This first account P. host ascomycetes. Phylogenetic analyses concatenated LSU, SSU EF1-α gene sequences showed that...
Background: An undescribed species of Pseudoplectania was found during an excursion in Mpumalanga.Objectives: To describe africana M.Carbone & Sochorová as a new and to evaluate presence crystals diagnostic character Pseudoplectania.Methods: The description based on standard macro- microscopical methods. Presence tested for UV light. Phylogeny inferred using sequencing the LSU ITS loci.Results: is characterised by shortly stipitate sessile apothecia up 18 mm broad, richly developed basal...

Herzogia 36: 206 –221. wird als neue Aufsammlungen aus Spanien (Stadt Madrid und Mallorca) Kroatien (Nationalpark Paklenica) beschrieben. Die ist durch folgende Merkmalskombination einmalig: globose Ascosporen einem Ornament gebogenen Leisten sowie das Vorkommen von starren, dickwandigen, hyalinen Haaren letzte Merkmal in bisher...
