Fungal Diversity<br />
Fig. 30 Entodesmium rude (from H, Krieger 1070). a Ascomata in<br />
groups on the host surface. Note the erumpent papilla which is<br />
cylindrical and has an inconspicuous ostiole. b Section of part of an<br />
ascoma. Note the arrangement of asci and pseudoparaphyses. c Section<br />
of the peridium comprising cells of textura angularis. d Part-spores<br />
inside the ascus. e Relatively immature ascus with filliform ascospores<br />
and low ocular chamber. f–h Mature and immature asci with pedicels.<br />

Notes<br />
Morphology<br />
Entodesmium is characterized by having immersed<br />
ascomata dark cylindrical, periphysate papillae, numerous<br />
clavate to cylindrical asci surrounded by narrowly<br />
cellular pseudoparaphyses, and ellipsoidal to filliform<br />
multi-septate ascospores (Barr 1992b; Shoemaker<br />
1984b). Currently, five species, viz. Entodesmium eliassonii<br />
L. Holm, E. lapponicum (L. Holm) L. Holm, E.<br />
mayorii (E.Müll.)L.Holm,E. niessleanum (Rabenh. ex<br />
Niessl) L. Holm and E. rude are accepted in this genus<br />
(Holm 1957; Shoemaker 1984b). Von Arx and Müller<br />
(1975) assignedEntodesmium to the Pleosporaceae sensu<br />
lato, and Shoemaker (1976) assigned E. rude (as<br />
Ophiobolus rudis) to Ophiobolus sensu lato based on<br />
the fragmenting filliform ascospores. According to the<br />
short, blackish beak and periphysate ostiole, Barr (1992b)
