This paper provides an updated classification of the Kingdom Fungi (including fossil fungi) and fungus-like taxa.Five-hundred twenty-three (535) notes are provided for newly introduced taxa changes that have been made since previous outline.In discussion, latest taxonomic in Basidiomycota Mycosphaerellales broadly discussed.Genera listed Mycosphaerellaceae confirmed by DNA sequence analyses, while doubtful genera (DNA sequences being unavailable but traditionally accommodated...
This article is the ninth in series of Fungal Diversity Notes, where 107 taxa distributed three phyla, nine classes, 31 orders and 57 families are described illustrated. Taxa present study include 12 new genera, 74 species, combinations, two reference specimens, a re-circumscription epitype, 15 records sexual-asexual morph connections, hosts geographical distributions. Twelve genera comprise Brunneofusispora, Brunneomurispora, Liua, Lonicericola, Neoeutypella, Paratrimmatostroma,...
Abstract The cosmopolitan plant genus Clematis contains many climbing species that can be found worldwide. occurs in the wild and is grown commercially for horticulture. Microfungi on were collected from Belgium, China, Italy, Thailand UK. They are characterized by morphology analyses of gene sequence data using an integrated concept to validate identifications. study revealed two new families, 12 genera, 50 species, 26 host records with one dimorphic character report, ten transferred other...
Abstract Freshwater Dothideomycetes are a highly diverse group of fungi, which mostly saprobic in freshwater habitats worldwide. They important decomposers submerged woody debris and leaves water. In this paper, we outline the genera with notes keys to species. Based on multigene analyses morphology, introduce nine new genera, viz . Aquimassariosphaeria , Aquatospora Aquihelicascus Fusiformiseptata Neohelicascus Neojahnula Pseudojahnula Purpureofaciens Submersispora ; 33 species, Acrocalymma...
In taxonomy, precision of species collection data is a cornerstone for advancing research and its diverse applications. Despite the widespread recognition significance these data, researchers have frequently neglected some important details in published taxonomic studies. Historically, fungal studies leaned heavily on morphological delineation taxa. contrast, methods currently employ synthesis combination morpho-molecular markers, chemical attributes both ecological geographic data. Even...
Abstract The field of mycology has grown from an underappreciated subset botany, to a valuable, modern scientific discipline. As this study grown, there have been significant contributions science, technology, and industry, highlighting the value fungi in era. This paper looks at current research, along with existing limitations, suggests future areas where scientists can focus their efforts, mycology. We show how become important emerging diseases medical discuss trends potential drug novel...
Novel species of fungi described in the present study include following from South Africa: Alanphillipsia aloeicola Aloe sp., Arxiella dolichandrae Dolichandra unguiscati, Ganoderma austroafricanum Jacaranda mimosifolia, Phacidiella podocarpi and Phaeosphaeria Podocarpus latifolius, Phyllosticta mimusopisicola Mimusops zeyheri Sphaerulina pelargonii Pelargonium sp. Furthermore, Barssia maroccana is Cedrus atlantica (Morocco), Codinaea pini Pinus patula (Uganda), Crucellisporiopsis marquesiae...
