Two new fungal genera (Diaporthales) found on Dipterocarpaceae in Thailand

mycolabadmin

Researchers studying fungal diversity in Thailand discovered two entirely new types of fungi living on Dipterocarpaceae trees, which are economically important trees that produce lumber and resin. Using a combination of microscopic examination and DNA analysis, they identified and named these new fungi as Pulvinaticonidioma hyalinum and Subellipsoidispora guttulata. This discovery suggests that many more fungal species remain unknown, especially on plants that haven’t been extensively studied for their fungal communities.

Taxonomic revision of Bisifusarium (Nectriaceae)

mycolabadmin

This study provides a comprehensive update on Bisifusarium fungi, a group that includes species used in cheese production and some that can cause human infections. Researchers examined 116 fungal isolates from around the world and identified 25 distinct lineages using DNA analysis. They formally described 8 new species and provided detailed descriptions and photos of previously poorly documented species. This work doubles the known diversity of this fungal genus and will help scientists and medical professionals better identify and understand these fungi.
