Pseudoveronaea
Pseudoveronaea Crous & Batzer, in Li et al., Persoonia 28: 118 (2012).
Index Fungorum number: IF 564667; Facesoffungi number: FoF 08560, 2 morphological species (Species Fungorum 2022), 2 species with molecular data.
Saprobic on fruit surface. Sexual morph: Unknown. Asexual morph: Colonies flat, spreading, olivaceous grey, either slow or moderately fast growing. Submerged hyphae hyaline to pale olivaceous, smooth; aerial hyphae hyaline to brown, smooth to warty. Conidiophores erect, straight or flexuose, unbranched or occasionally branched at apex, smooth-walled, medium-brown to brown. Conidiogenous cells terminal or lateral, integrated, pale brown to brown, smooth, subcylindrical, but with apical taper, terminal and intercalary, proliferating sympodially, forming a rachis with crowded, flat to slightly prominent, somewhat darkened, unthickened scars. Conidia solitary, finely verruculose to verruculose, obclavate to ellipsoid, 0–2-septate, apex with or without mucoid appendage; base truncate, darkened, somewhat thickened, not refractive. Conidial secession schizolytic (adapted from Li et al. 2012).
Type species: Pseudoveronaea ellipsoidea Batzer & Crous
Notes: Pseudoveronaea resembles Veronaea in having similar conidiophores up to 200 µm in length and the absence of denticles on the conidiogenous cells. Veronaea is a genus in Chaetothyriales (Herpotrichiellaceae), while Pseudoveronaea is a well-supported genus in Dissoconiaceae. Molecular markers available for Pseudoveronaea are ITS, LSU, RPB2 and TEF-1.
