Fungal Diversity Anamorph: Pycnidia typical of Stagonospora (Sphaeropsidales), “scattered,arisingsinglybothonthehostandinpure culture, in culture generally surrounded by an envelope of mycelial hyphae, numerous, immersed on the host, but nearly superficial in culture, subglobose to slightly applanate, black, 150–250 μm diam., with a central slightly papillate ostiole, lacking a distinct neck; walls mainly 15–20 μm thick, composed of three to six layers of pseudoparenchymatous cells, the outermost layers dark brown and inner pale brown to hyaline cells somewhat compressed radially, very variable in size, cells of the outer layers mainly 7–12 μm long×4–6 μm wide in vertically section and 10–12 μm diam. in surface view, wall not or only slightly thicked near the ostiole. Conidiogenous cells lining the inner surface of the pycnidial cavity, holoblastic, minute and difficult to distinguish from the pseudoparenchymatous cells with which they are mixed, mammiform with a flattened apex, hyaline, smooth walled, about 4–6 μm tall and 4–6 μm wide. Conidia copiously produced, ellipsoid, with somewhat truncated ends, hyaline, smooth walled, (2-)3 septate, not or slightly constricted at the septa, often guttulate, rather thin walled, (21-)24–28(−34) μm×7–8.5(−11.5) μm” (from Kaiser et al. 1979). Material examined: KENYA, near Nairobi, on leaves of Saccharum officinarum L.; 24 Aug. 1977; leg. W.J. Kaiser (IMI 215888, holotype). Notes Morphology Saccharicola was separated from Leptosphaeria as a new genus based on its Stagonospora anamorph and its biotrophic habitat in leaves of sugar cane, and two species were included, i.e. Saccharicola bicolor and S. taiwanensis (J.M. Yen & C.C. Chi) O.E. Erikss. & D. Hawksw. (Eriksson and Hawksworth 2003). Saccharicola is characterized by its parasitic habitat on monocots, small ascomata, bitunicate asci, presence of pseudoparaphyses as well as its 3-septate ascospores (Eriksson and Hawksworth 2003). Phylogenetic study Based on the limited phylogenetic analysis of SSU sequences, Saccharicola is considered to be closely related to Massarina eburnea, the generic type of Massarina (Eriksson and Hawksworth 2003). Thus, Saccharicola was assigned to Massarinaceae, which includes Keissleriella, Massarina and Saccharicola (Eriksson and Hawksworth 2003). Concluding remarks Based on the parasitic habitat on monocots and its small ascomata and Stagonospora (or Cercospora? for S. taiwanensis, see Eriksson and Hawksworth 2003; Shoemaker and Babcock 1989b) anamorph, Saccharicola seems more similar to Pleosporineae. Further molecular study is needed for confirmation. Salsuginea K.D. Hyde, Bot. Mar. 34: 315 (1991). (<strong>Pleosporales</strong>, genera incertae sedis) Generic description Habitat marine, saprobic. Ascomata large, solitary, fusoid, conical or subglobose, with or without a flattened base, immersed under a darkened clypeus, papillate, ostiolate. Peridium thin, composed of round cells (in cross section) at sides, fusing at the top with the clypeus, thin at the base. Hamathecium of dense, long trabeculate pseudoparaphyses, anastomosing, embedded in mucilage. Asci 8-spored, bitunicate, fissitunicate, clavate to cylindro-clavate, pedunculate, with a large ocular chamber and conspicuous apical ring. Ascospores uniseriate, obovoid, brown to black, with hyaline apical germ pores, 1-septate, constricted at the septum, dark brown with paler apical cells, lacking sheath, smooth. Anamorphs reported for genus: none. Literature: Hyde 1991a; Suetrong et al. 2009. Type species Salsuginea ramicola K.D. Hyde, Bot. Mar. 34: 316 (1991). (Fig. 85) Ascomata 1040–2600 μm high×455–1430 μm diam., solitary, fusoid, conical or subglobose, with or without a flattened base, immersed under a darkened clypeus, papillate, ostiolate, ostiole rounded (Fig. 85a). Peridium up to 39 μm thick, composed of round cells (in cross section) at sides, fusing at the top with the clypeus, thin at the base (Fig. 85b). Hamathecium of dense, long trabeculate pseudoparaphyses, 1–2 μm broad, anastomosing, embedded in mucilage. Asci 440–512×29–34 μm, 8-spored, bitunicate, fissitunicate, clavate to cylindro-clavate, pedunculate, with a large ocular chamber and conspicuous apical ring (Fig. 85c and e). Ascospores 59–72×24–30 μm, uniseriate, obovoid, brown to black, with hyaline apical germ pores, 1-septate, constricted at the septum, dark brown with paler apical cells, lacking sheath, smooth (Fig. 85d and f). Anamorph: none reported. Material examined: THAILAND, Ranong mangrove, Aegiceras corniculatum (L.) Blanco., Oct. 1988, leg. & det. K.D. Hyde (BRIP 17102, holotype). Notes Morphology Salsuginea was introduced to accommodate the mangrove fungus, S. ramicola, which is characterized by large, immersed, ostiolate and papillate ascomata under a clypeus,

Note the phragmosporous conidia. c Clavate ascus with ocular chamber and short pedicel. d Ascospores. Note the pigmented central cell(s). Scale bars: a, b= 50 μm, c=20 μm, d=10 μm dense, trabeculate pseudoparaphyses embedded in gel matrix, fissitunicate, 8-spored, cylindrical asci with short pedicel and conspicuous apical apparatus, 1-septate, dark brown ascospores with paler apical cells (Hyde 1991a). Salsuginea is considered closely related to Helicascus and Caryospora, and they are all proposed to Melanommataceae (Hyde 1991a). Phylogenetic study Based on a multigene phylogenetic analysis, Salsuginea ramicola nested in a paraphyletic clade within <strong>Pleosporales</strong>; its familial status is undetermined (Suetrong et al. 2009). Concluding remarks It has been shown that trabeculate pseudoparaphyses has no phylogenetic significance at familial rank, so a well resolved phylogeny based on DNA comparisons will be necessary to categorize this genus. Semidelitschia Cain & Luck-Allen, Mycologia 61: 581 (1969). (Delitschiaceae) Generic description Habitat terrestrial, saprobic (coprophilous). Ascomata immersed to slightly erumpent, scattered, coriaceous, papillate, ostiolate. Hamathecium of non-typical trabeculate pseudoparaphyses, thin, septate, rarely branching. Asci cylindrical, pedicellate, each with a conspicuous large apical ring. Ascospores non-septate, dark brown to nearly black, each with an elongated germ slit. Anamorphs reported for genus: none.
