Pleosporales - CBS - KNAW

Fungal Diversity
Phylogenetic study
A single unverified isolate of Phaeotrichum benjaminii is
placed well outside of Pleosporales in a broad phylogenetic
study (Schoch et al. 2009).
Concluding remarks
The superficial cleistothecial ascocarps covered by long hairy
appendages, the absence of hamathecium as well as the
nontypical bitunicate ascus are all distinct from members of
Fig. 103 Phaeotrichum hystricinum
(from TRTC 4361, holotype).
a Superficial ascomata on
host surface. Note the long and
black appendages. b Part of
peridium. Note the large cells in
surface view. c–f Released reddish
brown ascospores with hyaline
end cells. Note the strongly
constricted middle septum.
