Abstract

Ellisembia mercadoi sp. nov., collected on rachides of dead leaves of Sabal palmetto in southwestern Florida, U.S.A., is described and illustrated. The fungus is characterized by cylindrical, determinate conidiogenous cells and verruculose, subfusiform to narrowly obclavate or obclavate-rostrate, 7-16 distoseptate conidia often with remnants of an apical mucilaginous sheath. Similarities and differences with morphologically related species within the genus are discussed. Berkleasmium leonense, Ceratosporella basibicellularia, Hermatomyces tucumanensis, Monodictys capensis, and Selenosporella perramosa are newly recorded from the U.S.A.

Palm Fungi and Their Key Role in Biodiversity Surveys: A Review

Diana S. Pereira, Alan J. L. Phillips

Summary: Palm trees are a diverse habitat with intense fungal colonization, making them an important substratum to explore fungal diversity. However, research on palm fungi is still lacking and their taxonomic classification within modern DNA sequence-based classifications needs further study. Palm trees can be considered model plants for studying fungal biodiversity and palm fungi play a key role in biodiversity surveys. It is estimated that there are over 76,000 species of palm fungi worldwide, of which more than 2500 are currently known.

Summary: The rapid pace of name changes of medically important fungi creates challenges for clinical laboratories and clinicians. Suggestions are made to reduce the number of name changes and provide diagnostic markers. It is recommended to maintain stability at the genus level and report both overarching species and molecular siblings. An open access online database of all medically important fungi names is essential, and new name changes should be reviewed routinely by a standing committee.

Summary: The red palm weevil is a dangerous pest that infects date palm trees and leads to the degradation of trunk tissues and death. The study found that Fusarium oxysporum was a common fungal species associated with the infection, and its pathogenicity was confirmed. The application of a systemic fungicide successfully inhibited the growth of F. oxysporum and reduced disease development.

A phylogenetic assessment of Endocalyx (Cainiaceae, Xylariales) with E. grossus comb. et stat. nov.

Gregorio Delgado, Andrew N. Miller, Akira Hashimoto, Toshiya Iida, Moriya Ohkuma, Gen Okada

Summary: The phylogenetic affinities of representative Endocalyx taxa were studied using materials collected in Japan and the USA. The analyses confirmed that Endocalyx belongs to the order Xylariales and forms a monophyletic lineage within the family Cainiaceae. The species and varieties were well resolved and consistent with their morphology and ecology. The study also proposed a new name for E. melanoxanthus var. grossus based on its distinct characteristics. The placement of Endocalyx within the family Apiosporaceae was rejected, as all species clustered within Cainiaceae.
