Microfungi associated with dying in South Africa and their relative pathogenicity.

is a succulent shrub that is indigenous to South Africa and widely distributed throughout the country. Dying plants have been observed in their natural habitat in the Northern and Western Cape Provinces of South Africa in recent years. Stems displaying lesions were collected and the emerging cultures were identified based on ITS, LSU, , , and/or sequence data.

A novel species of causing cankers on in South Africa.

Cankers leading to branch, stem and plant death were observed on the South African endemic () in the Cederberg Wilderness Area, South Africa, during September 2021 Conidiomatal pycnidia were found developing on the cankers, and isolations consistently yielded a species. Phylogenetic analysis based on partial nucleotide sequences of the internal transcribed spacers (ITS), the nuclear large subunit (LSU) and RNA polymerase II second largest subunit () regions showed that the fungus represented an undescribed species. Based on the multigene phylogeny and morphological characteristics, we describe the species here as .

Soil-borne (Hypocreales, Nectriaceae) associated with plantations in Colombia.

spp. are widely planted in Colombia as an important component of a growing paper and pulp industry. Leaf and shoot blight caused by spp.

Genera of phytopathogenic fungi: GOPHY 4.

This paper is the fourth contribution in the Genera of Phytopathogenic Fungi (GOPHY) series. The series provides morphological descriptions and information about the pathology, distribution, hosts and disease symptoms, as well as DNA barcodes for the taxa covered. Moreover, 12 whole-genome sequences for the type or new species in the treated genera are provided.

Generic boundaries in the reconsidered and revised.

The was erected in 1980. Since that time, several of the genera have been redefined and others have been described. There are currently 14 accepted genera in the Order.
