Three New Species of Mytilinidioid Fungi (Dothideomycetes, Ascomycota) from Mexico.

Mytilinidioid fungi are conchiform in nature, with the appearance of bivalve shells or wedge-shaped, rigid, brittle, and carbonaceous hysterothecia growing on the bark of gymnosperms or angiosperms. Based on their morphological characteristics and molecular markers ( and ), this study describes three new species of mytilinidioid fungi: of the family Hysteriaceae of the order Hysteriales and and of the family Mytilinidiaceae of the order Mytilinidiales. The first species grows on , the second species grows on , and the third species grows on subsp.

New Ascomycetes from the Mexican Tropical Montane Cloud Forest.

The tropical montane cloud forest is the most diverse and threatened vegetation type in Mexico. In the last decade, the number of described Ascomycetes species has notably increased, reaching more than 1300 species. This study describes six new species based on their molecular and morphological characteristics.
