Gliomastix is a genus of fungi belonging to the family Bionectriaceae. [1]

Contents

The genus was first described by Fernand Pierre Joseph Guéguen in 1905. [1]

The genus has cosmopolitan distribution. [2]

History

The taxonomic placement of Gliomastix is controversial and debated by many authors (Gams 1971; Matsushima 1975; Domsch et al. 2007; Lechat et al. 2010; Summerbell et al. 2011; Kiyuna et al. 2011). Gams (1971) placed Gliomastix in a section of Acremonium . Matsushima (1975) placed Acremonium masseei and Acremonium polychromum in Gliomastix and Lechat et al. (2010) linked G. fusigera with the sexual morph of Hydropisphaera bambusicola . Kiyuna et al. (2011) and Summerbell et al. (2011) revised and compiled the taxonomy of Gliomastix. [3] Kiyuna et al. (2011) agreed with Gams's concept and accepted Gliomastix as a section of Acremonium. However, Summerbell et al. (2011) did not follow the Gams's concept and recognized Gliomastix as a distinct genus. [3] Their phylogenetic analysis supported Gliomastix differs from previous morphological concepts by excluding several distantly related species e.g., Acremonium cerealis and A. inflatum. Maharachchikumbura et al. (2015), [4] and Hyde et al. (2020a) followed the treatment of Summerbell et al. (2011) treated Gliomastix as a distinct genus in family Bionectriaceae. [5]

Species

As of July 2023, Species Fungorum (in the Catalog of Life) accepts about 19 species of Gliomastix; [6]
