Description

Calcarisporium yuanyangense H. Yu bis & J.Y. Zhu, sp. nov. Fig. 2

MycoBank: MB 848860

Etymology:— The epithet “ yuanyangense ” referred to collection sites for this species, Yuanyang County.

Holotype:— Xinjie Town, Yuanyang County, Yunnan Province, China (23°04′42.98″N, 102°51′41.61″E, alt. 2053.70m), on an O. nutans, September 25, 2022, Hong Yu bis, YHH 2209025, holotype; YFCC 22099256, ex-type living culture.

Description:—Sexual morph: Sexual morphs were not found. Asexual morph: Colonies effuse, woolly-felty texture, yellowish-white, mycelium immersed, consisting of branched, septate, smooth, hyaline hyphae, hyphae 1.81– 2.89 μm wide. colonies on PDA reached 20–22 mm in diameter after 10 days at 25 ℃. Conidiophores 12.49–119.42 × 1.49–3.01 μm, erect, hyaline, verticillately branched, with 1–5 verticils, each verticil with 1–5 conidiogenous cells. Conidiogenous cells 12.31–51.84 × 1.40–3.08 μm, hyaline, swollen at base, gradually tapering near the apex, holoblastic to polyblastic, sympodial, apically with a cluster of conidium-bearing denticles. conidiogenous scars 0.86–1.78μm. Conidia 6.33–9.68 × 1.87–2.63 μm, unicellular, hyaline, smooth-walled, thin-walled, ovoid to ellipsoid, acuminate.

Know distribution:— Xinjie Town, Yuanyang County, Yunnan Province, China.

Note:— Calcarisporium yuanyangense was isolated from O. nutans and was different from the host reported in previous studies. Calcarisporium yuanyangense was identified as a unique species based on both morphological characteristics and phylogenetic analysis; both demonstrate that it was distinct from other recognized species in the genus Calcarisporium. Phylogenetic analysis based on five genes showed strong support (BP = 100% and PP = 100%) with being an independent branch. Calcarisporium yuanyangense and C. arbuscula were similar in conidia shape, but the conidia of C. yuanyangense (6.33–9.68 × 1.87–2.63 μm) were larger and had a higher length/width ratio than those of C. arbuscula (Table 2).
