Article Synopsis
- Recent taxonomic reorganization has raised questions about the host associations of these fungi, revealing that many have broad host specificity, often interacting with more than 10 different species.
- The study aims to assess how host taxonomy affects evolutionary patterns, showing that the colonization of hosts by these fungi is complex, revealing several distinct species previously thought to be the same and identifying three new species from various mountainous regions.
Article Synopsis
- The study describes numerous new species of fungi discovered across various environments, including leaf spots, dead insects, soil, and wood from diverse locations around the world.
- The fungi were isolated from multiple substrates, such as decaying organic matter, living plants, and even specific habitats like semi-desert montane areas and mixed forests.
- Morphological traits and genetic analysis through DNA barcoding confirm the classification and distinct characteristics of these fungal species.
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.

Fungal taxa described and illustrated in the present study include three new genera, 69 new species, one new combination, one reference specimen and 51 new records on new hosts and new geographical distributions. Three new genera, (), ( genus ) and () are introduced based on distinct phylogenetic lineages and unique morphologies.

A total of 43 species in 11 genera are treated and illustrated by photographs of sori, microphotographs of spores in LM and SEM, and distribution maps. Two species, Anthracoidea pseudofoetidae and Urocystis tothii, are recorded as new from North America.
