TL;DR: The paraphyletic nature of Pleospora is resolved based on the available morpho-molecular data, but further sampling with fresh collections, reference or ex-type strains and molecular data are needed to obtain a natural classification of genera and the family.

TL;DR: Twenty new combinations are made: Acrogenospora carmichaeliana (Berk.) Rossman & Crous, Alternaria scrophulariae (Desm.), Pyrenophora catenaria (Drechsler), and Zeloasperisporium over Neomicrothyrium (Butin).

TL;DR: Ten genera are examined as case studies to establish trends in fungal description and introduce new species in each genus to conclude whether the authors are anywhere near to flattening the curve in new species description.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors revisited the Capnodiaceae with notes on selected genera and illustrated type specimens of the ascomycetous genera Aithaloderma, Anopeltis, Callebaea, Capnodaria, Echinothecium, Phragmocapnias and Scorias.

TL;DR: The phylogenetic analyses showed that Astrosphaerieslla is polyphyletic, with Astrosphaeriella species clustering in four clades, including species with slit-like ostioles, clustered in Aigialaceae; the clade that includes the generic type clustered together with Delitschia; and A. Africana, which has striate ascospores, deviated from these three clades and had a basal position in the Pleosporales.
