Notes<br />

Morphology<br />

Moristroma was formally established by Romero and<br />

Samuels (1991) based on its “cushion-shaped ascomata<br />

containing lots of locules with numerous asci inside, asci<br />

obclavate, polysporous, with a knob-shaped pedicel”. The<br />

bitunicate asci and numerous cellular pseudoparaphyses<br />

undoubtedly point it to <strong>Pleosporales</strong>, while the familial<br />

placement of Moristroma is uncertain, and it was<br />

temporarily assigned to Dacampiaceae by Romero and<br />

Samuels (1991), but no 3-layered peridium is found.<br />

Eriksson (2006) assignedittoTeichosporaceae.<br />

Phylogenetic study<br />

None.<br />

Concluding remarks<br />

The familial status of Moristroma cannot be determined yet.
