Fungal diversity notes 1512–1610: taxonomic and phylogenetic contributions on genera and species of fungal taxa

This article is the 14th in the Fungal Diversity Notes series, wherein we report 98 taxa distributed in two phyla, seven classes, 26 orders and 50 families which are described and illustrated. Taxa in this study were collected from Australia, Brazil, Burkina Faso, Chile, China, Cyprus, Egypt, France, French Guiana, India, Indonesia, Italy, Laos, Mexico, Russia, Sri Lanka, Thailand, and Vietnam. There are 59 new taxa, 39 new hosts and new geographical distributions with one new combination.

The new combination is <i>Torula</i> <i>sundara</i>. The 39 new records on hosts and geographical distribution comprise <i>Apiospora</i> <i>guiyangensis</i>, <i>Aplosporella</i> <i>artocarpi</i>, <i>Ascochyta</i> <i>medicaginicola</i>, <i>Astrocystis</i> <i>bambusicola</i>, <i>Athelia</i> <i>rolfsii</i>, <i>Bambusicola</i> <i>bambusae</i>, <i>Bipolaris</i> <i>luttrellii</i>, <i>Botryosphaeria</i> <i>dothidea</i>, <i>Chlorophyllum</i> <i>squamulosum</i>, <i>Colletotrichum</i> <i>aeschynomenes</i>, <i>Colletotrichum</i> <i>pandanicola</i>, <i>Coprinopsis</i> <i>cinerea</i>, <i>Corylicola</i> <i>italica</i>, <i>Curvularia</i> <i>alcornii</i>, <i>Curvularia</i> <i>senegalensis</i>, <i>Diaporthe</i> <i>foeniculina</i>, <i>Diaporthe</i> <i>longicolla</i>, <i>Diaporthe</i> <i>phaseolorum</i>, <i>Diatrypella</i> <i>quercina</i>, <i>Fusarium</i> <i>brachygibbosum</i>, <i>Helicoma</i> <i>aquaticum</i>, <i>Lepiota</i> <i>metulispora</i>, <i>Lepiota</i> <i>pongduadensis</i>, <i>Lepiota</i> <i>subvenenata</i>, <i>Melanconiella</i> <i>meridionalis</i>, <i>Monotosporella</i> <i>erecta</i>, <i>Nodulosphaeria</i> <i>digitalis</i>, <i>Palmiascoma</i> <i>gregariascomum</i>, <i>Periconia</i> <i>byssoides</i>, <i>Periconia</i> <i>cortaderiae</i>, <i>Pleopunctum</i> <i>ellipsoideum</i>, <i>Psilocybe</i> <i>keralensis</i>, <i>Scedosporium</i> <i>apiospermum</i>, <i>Scedosporium</i> <i>dehoogii</i>, <i>Scedosporium</i> <i>marina</i>, <i>Spegazzinia</i> <i>deightonii</i>, <i>Torula</i> <i>fici</i>, <i>Wiesneriomyces</i> <i>laurinus</i> and <i>Xylaria</i> <i>venosula</i>. All these taxa are supported by morphological and multigene phylogenetic analyses. This article allows the researchers to publish fungal collections which are important for future studies. An updated, accurate and timely report of fungus-host and fungus-geography is important. We also provide an updated list of fungal taxa published in the previous fungal diversity notes. In this list, erroneous taxa and synonyms are marked and corrected accordingly.
