TL;DR: The anamorphic genus Phoma was subdivided into nine sections based on morphological characters, and included teleomorphs in Didymella, Leptosphaeria, Pleospora and Mycosphaerella, but recent molecular, phylogenetic studies led to the conclusion that Phoma should be restricted to Didymellaceae.

TL;DR: Information is reviewed with emphasis on biogeography, biodiversity, differences in the tropical and subtropical mycoflora, fungal distribution on mangroves trees, host specificity, vertical zonation and distribution with salinity, and gaps in knowledge are discussed.
Abstract: Recent investigations have increased our knowledge of the ecology of mangrove fungi. In this paper this information is reviewed with emphasis on biogeography, biodiversity, differences in the tropical and subtropical mycoflora, fungal distribution on mangroves trees, host specificity, vertical zonation and distribution with salinity. Gaps in our knowledge are discussed. There is little knowledge of the role of mangrove fungi in nutrient cycling which is also reviewed. Areas in which knowledge is deficient include quantification techniques for fungal abundance, the nature and activities of fungal extracellular enzymes and fungal modification of mangrove detritus matter, especially the dissolved form.

TL;DR: The distribution of fungal communities in aquatic habitats in tropical regions is reported and differences in the taxa observed in freshwater and marine habitats are highlighted.
Abstract: This paper reports on the distribution of fungal communities in aquatic habitats in tropical regions and highlights differences in the taxa observed in freshwater and marine habitats. Ascomycetes are dominant on substrata in marine environments, with few basidiomycetes and discomycetes. Equally, few freshwater basidiomycetes and discomycetes have been reported from the tropics. In marine habitats, Dothideomycetes dominate on mangrove substrata, and halosphaeriaceous species are most numerous on submerged woody substrata in coastal waters, while yeasts are common in seawater and estuarine habitats. In freshwater, Ingoldian anamorphic fungi are most numerous on decaying leaves, while ascomycetes (Dothideomycetes, Sordariomycetes) are prevalent on submerged/exposed woody substrata. Unique fungi are found in tropical waters and differ from those in temperate locations.

TL;DR: The present study revises the classification of the hyaline-spored coelomycetes and provides a modern taxonomic framework based on both morphology and phylogeny.
Abstract: Coelomycete is a general term used for asexual fungi which produce conidia in fruiting bodies: pycnidial, acervular, cupulate, pycnothyria or stromatic conidiomata. The group contains numerous plant pathogenic, saprobic and endophytic species associated with a wide range of hosts. Traditionally, morphological characters and host associations have been used as criteria to identify and classify coelomycetes, and this has resulted in a poor understanding of their generic and species boundaries. DNA based taxonomic studies have provided a better outlook of the phylogenetic and evolutionary trends in coelomycetes. However, the present outcomes represent only a preliminary step towards the understanding of coelomycetes. Many genera have not been revisited since they were first described. The present study revises the classification of the hyaline-spored coelomycetes and provides a modern taxonomic framework based on both morphology and phylogeny. In total, 248 genera were investigated, of which less than 100 are known to have sequence data. Multi-locus sequence data analyses of 28S nrDNA, 18S nrDNA, ITS, RNA polymerase II second largest subunit (rpb2), and part of the translation elongation factor 1-alpha gene (tef1) and β-tubulin (tub2) gene regions were analysed. As a result, three new genera and 23 new species are introduced. In addition, three new links between sexual and asexual genera are provided. There are 138 genera that lack sequence data, and these are treated as Ascomycota, genera incertae sedis. Line drawings and descriptions are provided based on the examination of types and fresh collections and on the literature.

TL;DR: The diversity of fungi at Morib mangrove was low when compared to previous studies on fungi on Nypa palm at Kampong Api Api in Brunei and in this study at Kuala SelangorMangrove in Malaysia.
Abstract: Fungi associated with the decomposition of Nypa fruticans in Malaysia are under investigation Forty-one fungi have been identified including 35 ascomycetes, four mitosporic fungi and two basidiomycetes The distribution of intertidal fungi on palm structures including leaves, leaf veins, rachides, petiole bases, and inflorescences, and fungi on terrestrial parts have also been examined No fungi were found on the leaf material, although several fungi were found on the leaf midribs, and possible reasons for this are given Very few taxa developed on the inflorescences, but those that were present were abundant The greatest density of fruiting structures occurred on the rachides, and the greatest diversity of fungal species occurred on the petiole bases The terrestrial fungi differed from the intertidal fungi, although Linocarpon nipae occurred in both habitats Reasons for the differences in fungal numbers and diversity on the various palm parts are discussed The diversity of fungi at Morib mangrove was low when compared to previous studies on fungi on Nypa palm at Kampong Api Api in Brunei and in this study at Kuala Selangor mangrove in Malaysia

TL;DR: Type material of a similar fungus reported as Dothiorella ulmi which causes a disease known as the Cephalosporium wilt of elms on U.S.A. americana is compared and the name D. ulmi is transferred to Plectophomella .
Abstract: A previously unrecorded canker and dieback disease of Ulmus glabra caused by Plectophomella concentrica sp.nov. is described. Plectophomella concentrica is compared with type material of a similar fungus reported as Dothiorella ulmi which causes a disease known as the Cephalosporium wilt of elms on U. americana in the U.S.A. As a result the name D. ulmi is transferred to Plectophomella .
