Fuscosporella is a genus of terrestrial and freshwater fungi in the family Fuscosporellaceae and within the monotypic order of Fuscosporellales. [2] [3]

Contents

Etymology

The word Fuscosporella is derived from the Latin word -fusco, meaning dark and the Greek word spore meaning “seed, sowing”. [4]

History

Fuscosporella was originally established as a monotypic genus for Fuscosporella pyriformisJ. Yang, J. Bhat & K.D. Hyde, and it is the type genus of Fuscosporellaceae (Yang et al. 2016). [1] Fuscosporella pyriformis is morphologically similar to Parafuscosprella moniliformisJ. Yang, J. Bhat & K.D. Hyde and Parafuscosprella mucosaJ. Yang, J. Bhat & K.D. Hyde, as they share characters such as uniseptate (having a single cell wall), dark brown, obvoid (egg-shaped and solid, with the narrow end at the base) to obpyriform (shaped like that of a pear, with the base at the narrower end) conidia of similar size, and hyaline (glassy/transparent), vesicular (bladder-like sac) conidiogenous cells. Parafuscosporella garethiiBoonyuen, Chuaseehar. & Somrith. is significantly different from the species in its obpyramidal conidia, which are coronate at the apex with unusual conical projections (Boonyuen et al. 2016). [5] However, molecular evidence later gave a precise classification. [6]

Species

3 species are accepted by Species Fungorum; [7]

Fuscosporella xingyiensis was published in 2022, but not yet fully accepted. [8]

Distribution

It has been only found in a few places worldwide, such as; off the coast of south America, in central Asia, in Thailand and China. [9] [10]

Species in Fuscosporella and Mucispora are reported from freshwater habitats in Thailand and China, [1] [11] [12]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Hypocreales</span> Order of fungi

The Hypocreales are an order of fungi within the class Sordariomycetes. In 2008, it was estimated that it contained some 237 genera, and 2647 species in seven families. Since then, a considerable number of further taxa have been identified, including an additional family, the Stachybotryaceae. Wijayawardene et al. in 2020 added more families and genera to the order. According to the Catalog of Life, As of April 2021 the Hypocreales contains 6 families, 137 genera, and 1411 species. Hyde et al. (2020a) listed 14 families under Hypocreales, while, Wijayawardene et al. (2022) accepted 15 families in the order, where Cylindriaceae was additionally added. Earlier, Hyde et al. (2020a) had placed Cylindriaceae in class Xylariomycetidae. Samarakoon et al. (2022) agreed. Hence, Cylindriaceae should have been excluded from Hypocreales and placed in Xylariomycetidae. Xiao et al. (2022) recently introduced a new family Polycephalomycetaceae to Hypocreales.

<i>Stachybotrys</i> Genus of fungi

Stachybotrys is a genus of molds, hyphomycetes or asexually reproducing, filamentous fungi, now placed in the family Stachybotryaceae. The genus was erected by August Carl Joseph Corda in 1837. Historically, it was considered closely related to the genus Memnoniella, because the spores are produced in slimy heads rather than in dry chains. Recently, the synonymy of the two genera is generally accepted. Most Stachybotrys species inhabit materials rich in cellulose. The genus has a widespread distribution and contained about 50 species in 2008. There are 88 records of Stachybotrys on Species Fungorum, of which 33 species have DNA sequence data in GenBank. Species in the genus are commonly found in soil, plant litter and air and a few species have been found from damp paper, cotton, linen, cellulose-based building materials water-damaged indoor buildings, and air ducts from both aquatic and terrestrial habitats.
