Salsuginea ramicola K.D. Hyde |
Salsuginea is a genus of fungi in the class Dothideomycetes. The relationship of this taxon to other taxa within the class was unknown ( incertae sedis ) in 2007. [1] Until Kevin D. Hyde & Tibpromma, 2013 introduced family Salsugineaceae within the order of Pleosporales. [2]
It was a monotypic genus, it contained the single species Salsuginea ramicola until 3 more species were found in 2009, 2019 and 2020. [3]
Salsuginea ramicola and other fungi genera (including Aniptodera salsuginosa ) have been found on decaying woody substrata in intertidal mangrove forests within Thailand. [4]
