Article Synopsis
- The text discusses a diverse family of macrofungi, primarily wood-decaying fungi, containing about 89 species across various climates and some that act as pathogens for forest trees.
- Phylogenetic analysis using genomic data revealed two major clades of genera within this family, with additional insights about their evolutionary timeline, indicating significant diversification events in the Early Cretaceous and Eocene epochs.
- The study also introduces a new species identified in Oman, detailing its morphological characteristics and genetic relationships, alongside an identification key and discussions on the ecology and distribution of the family’s species.
has small to medium-sized mushrooms and the cap surface with squamulose pellicles, consisting of hymeniform or pseudoparenchymatous cells and yellowish-brown basidiospores. The species of are very similar to those of and it is extremely difficult to differentiate the species of both genera in the field. However, phylogenetically, both the genera are clearly distinct.

Although chemical fungicides are used for managing this disease, they have many drawbacks to the environment. The ability of the antagonistic fungi isolated from the rhizosphere and endosphere of and in the control of soilborne pathogen was inspected.

Prior to this study, 26 species belonging to this genus have been described and published. In this study, we reported for the first time from Oman with the description of two new species.
