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)
