Fumagospora

Fumagospora G. Arnaud, Annals d'École National d'Agric. de Montpellier, Série 2 10(4): 326 (1911).

Index Fungorum number: IF 8278; Facesoffungi number: FoF 11070, 4 morphological species (Species Fungorum 2022), 1 species with molecular data.

Saprobic on insect exudates and producing a black sooty-like covering on the surface of leaves. Sexual morph: Unknown. Asexual morph: Mycelium consisting of a network of superficial, brown, septate hyphae. Pycnidia variable in shape, mostly cylindrical to subcylindrical, rarely flask shaped, with or without stalk, simple or branched, ostiole with hyaline hyphae with conidia ellipsoid, at first hyaline, becoming pigmented at maturity, 2–3(–4) transverse and 1–3 longitudinal septa (adapted from Khodaparast et al. 2015).

 

           Type species: Fumagospora capnodioides G. Arnaud

 

Notes: Fumagospora is characterised by cylindrical to subcylindrical pycnidia, ellipsoid hyaline conidia with 2–3(–4) transverse and 1–3 longitudinal septa. Khodaparast et al. (2015) provided sequence data of F. capnodioides found on Alnus glutinosa (L.) Gaertn in Guilan, Iran. Fumagospora is a distinct genus in Readerielliopsidaceae. Molecular markers available include LSU, ITS and TEF-1.
