A reappraisal of the phylogenetic integrity of bitunicate ascomycete fungi belonging to or previously affiliated with the Hysteriaceae, Mytilinidiaceae, Gloniaceae and Patellariaceae is presented, based on an analysis of ...

Ascoma morphologies have traditionally been used to classify filamentous ascomycete fungi. Phylogenies generated using DNA sequence data have since shown most of the previously identified groups not to be monophyletic. The ...

The phylogenetic relationships within Coronophorales have been debated because of uncertainty over the taxonomic usefulness of characterisitics such as quellkörper, number of ascospore appendages, presence of subiculum and ...

Melanochaeta taitensis is described as a new species from Kenya. It is distinguished from the other known species of Melanochaeta by having large, 3-septate, strongly curved ascospores. Phylogenetic analyses of nuclear 28S ...

A survey of wood rotting ascomycetes in Kenya produced taxa in Biscogniauxia and Kretzschmaria that did not match descriptions of any known species and are hereby described as new species. The species of Biscogniauxia ...

Ceratosphaerella is described as a new genus for C. castillensis and C. rhizomorpha. The genus is related to Ophioceras but distinguished by ascomata with a basal stroma and shorter, fusiform ascospores. Muraeriata is ...
