Wijayawardene N.N., Hyde K.D., Divakar P.K., Rajeshkumar K.C., Weerahewa D., Delgado G., Wang Y. & Fu L. (2018): Notes for genera update – Ascomycota: 6616-6821, Mycosphere, 9(1): 115–140

Taxonomic knowledge of the Ascomycota, is rapidly changing because of use of molecular data, thus continuous updates of existing taxonomic data with new data is essential. In the current paper, we compile existing data of several genera missing from the recently published “Notes for genera-Ascomycota”. This includes 206 entries. Key words – Asexual genera – Data bases – Sexual genera – Taxonomy. Read more...

Taxonomic placement of genera have been changing rapidly as taxonomists widely use DNA sequence data in phylogenetic and evolutionary studies. It is essential to update existing databases/outlines based on recent studies, since these sources are widely used as a foundation for other research. In this outline, we merge both asexual and sexual genera into one outline. The phylum Ascomycota comprises of three subphyla viz. Pezizomycotina (including 13 classes, 124 orders and 507 families), Saccharomycotina … Read more...

Acquiring updated information of fungi is one of the challenges faced by mycologists. This study is a continuation of Wijayawardene et al. (2017, 2018) and provides notes (generic name, classification, number of species, typification details, life mode, distribution, references) for each genus of Ascomycota described mainly during the period January to June 2018. Key words – Classification – Coelomycetes – Hyphomycetes – New Genera – Sexual Genera. Read more...

(2017): Notes for genera: Ascomycota, Fungal Diversity, 86: 1–594

Knowledge of the relationships and thus the classification of fungi, has developed rapidly with increasingly widespread use of molecular techniques, over the past 10–15 years, and continues to accelerate. Several genera have been found to be polyphyletic, and their generic concepts have subsequently been emended. New names have thus been introduced for species which are phylogenetically distinct from the type species of particular genera. The ending of the separate naming of morphs of the same … Read more...

Wijayawardene N.N., Hyde K.D., Tibpromma S., Wanasinghe D.N., Thambugala K.M., Tian Q. & Wang Y. (2017): Towards incorporating asexual fungi in a natural classification: checklist and notes 2012–2016, Mycosphere, 8(9): 1457–1555

Incorporating asexual genera in a natural classification system and proposing one name for pleomorphic genera are important topics in the current era of mycology. Recently, several polyphyletic genera have been restricted to a single family, linked with a single sexual morph or spilt into several unrelated genera. Thus, updating existing data bases and check lists is essential to stay abreast of these recent advanes. In this paper, we update the existing outline of asexual genera and provide taxonomic … Read more...

(2022): Forecasting the number of species of asexually reproducing fungi (Ascomycota and Basidiomycota), Fungal Diversity, 114: 463–490

A review paper. Asexually reproducing fungi play a significant role in essential processes in managed and wild ecosystems such as nutrients cycling and multitrophic interactions. A large number of such taxa are among the most notorious plant and animal pathogens. In addition, they have a key role in food production, biotechnology and medicine. Taxa without or rare sexual reproduction are distinguished based on their sporulating structures and conidiomata in traditional morphology-based taxonomy. … Read more...

(2021): Looking for the undiscovered asexual taxa; case studies from lesser studied life modes and habitats, Mycosphere, 12(1): 1186–1229

Fungi are vital functional members of the biosphere, playing a crucial role in sustaining ecosystems by maintaining the nutrient balance. Many studies have verified the abundance of fungi across all-natural ecosystems and habitats, such as in forests, fresh-water (including both lentic or lotic), marine environments and deserts. With the focus previously on temperate regions and to a lesser extent biodiversity hotspots, the fungi in other areas remain overlooked. Therefore, it is imperative … Read more...

(2022): An updated account of Fagales-inhabiting Italian Ascomycota and mycogeography, with additions to Pezizomycotina, Asian Journal of Mycology, 5(2): 79–186

Studies of plant-associated Ascomycota are topical, as they have varied life modes depending on their hosts in different ecosystems. In Italy, Fagales are economically and ecologically important plants, especially in the Alps and Apennine mountain ranges. Fagales species host numerous ascomycetous species, comprising endophytes, saprobes, or pathogens. We retrieved data from 308 publications from 1873 to 2021 and listed 776 Ascomycota on Fagales in Italy. Among these, 696 were identified … Read more...

Wijeyaratne S.C., Lücking R. & Lumbsch H.T. (2012): Three new crustose lichen species from Sri Lanka, Nova Hedwigia, 94: 367-372

Three new crustose lichen species are described from Sri Lanka. Chapsa pulchella Wijeyaratne, Lücking & Lumbsch is unique due to its bright red apothecial margin contrasting with the white-pruinose disc. Pyrenula ocellulata Wijeyaratne, Lücking & Lumbsch resembles Pyrenula interducta and P. mastophoroides in having an inspersed hymenium and medium-sized ascospores, but differs in its shiny, hemispherical perithecia with sharply delimited thalline cover. Thelotrema minisporum Wijeyaratne, Lücking … Read more...

"For both beetles and bryophytes, the number of species per plot was higher in key habitats than in satellite-identified areas and retention patches (Table 1). For lichens there were no differences. The number of red-listed species was higher in key habitats than in retention patches for all three species groups (Table 1)." Read more...
