Freshwater fungal numbers

Mark S. Calabon et al.

Summary: This review provides a comprehensive account of fungal classification in freshwater habitats, based on biodiversity studies and recent morpho-phylogenetic analyses. The analysis includes 3,870 listed species with additional details on isolation source, habitat, geographical distribution, and molecular data. The study reveals that Ascomycota is the dominant phylum, with Sordariomycetes being the most abundant class in freshwater fungi.

Introduction of Neolophiotrema xiaokongense gen. et sp. nov. to the poorly represented Anteagloniaceae (Pleosporales, Dothideomycetes)

Guang-Cong Ren et al.

Summary: Neolophiotrema, represented by N. xiaokongense, is a monotypic wood-inhabiting taxon classified in Dothideomycetes. Phylogenetic analysis supports its placement in Anteagloniaceae (Pleosporales). A morphology-based synopsis key is provided for species identification in Anteagloniaceae, while discussion on species boundaries is also included.

The taxonomy and phylogeny of Austropleospora ochracea sp. nov. (Didymosphaeriaceae) from Guizhou, China

Lakmali S. Dissanayake et al.

Summary: Austropleospora is a genus of Didymosphaeriaceae with only three extant species. A new species, Austropleospora ochracea sp. nov., was discovered in a survey of saprobic ascomycetes in Guizhou Province, China, characterized by specific morphological features and ascospores. The taxonomic position of the new species within Austropleospora was confirmed through molecular phylogeny analysis based on DNA sequences. Comparisons with similar species and brief discussions on its taxonomic status were conducted.

Species concepts of Dothideomycetes: classification, phylogenetic inconsistencies and taxonomic standardization

Dhandevi Pem et al.

Summary: The review discusses the taxonomic history of the class Dothideomycetes, reviews four commonly used species concepts, and provides examples of their application in the genera Ascochyta, Cercospora, and Neofusicoccum. Challenges and basic guidelines for classifying species under these criteria are also analyzed and provided.

What are fungal species and how to delineate them?

K. W. Thilini Chethana et al.

Summary: Defining and recognizing fungal species has long been a controversial issue, with over 30 species criteria proposed since Darwin's origin of species. Phylogenetic analyses based on multiple loci are widely used, but can mask discordances among fungal groups. In order to delimit fungal species, phylogenetic and phenotypic coherence, as well as the timing of events leading to speciation, need to be considered.

Morphology and phylogenetic analyses reveal Montagnula puerensis sp. nov. (Didymosphaeriaceae, Pleosporales) from southwest China

Tianye Du et al.

Summary: Researchers collected a dead woody sample of Acer sp. with fungal fruiting bodies in Pu'er City, Yunnan Province. Through multigene phylogenetic analyses, they identified the sample as belonging to Montagnula and found it to be well separated from all other extant species. Comparison with extant species based on morphological characteristics, culture characteristics, host, and location information revealed that Montagnula puerensis is the first reported from this host.

Novel saprobic Hermatomyces species (Hermatomycetaceae, Pleosporales) from China (Yunnan Province) and Thailand

Guang-Cong Ren et al.

Summary: During a survey of woody litter fungi diversity in China and Thailand, three Hermatomyces species were collected from dead woody twigs. Two new species (H. turbinatus and H. jinghaensis) and a new record of H. sphaericus were identified through morphology and multigene analyses. Phylogenetic analyses supported the placement of these new taxa within the Hermatomycetaceae family.
