Fig. 1 Rimora mangrovei (from NY 4553a, holotype of Lophiostoma mangrovei). a Appearance of ascomata on host surface. b Section through ascomata. c Pseudoparaphyses. d, e Asci. f–i Ascospores. Scale bars: b = 200 μm, c = 30 μm, d, e = 50 μm, f–i = 10 μm.
Importance and distribution
Rimora comprises only one species. Rimora mangrovei is known on wood and bark of dead submerged Rhizophora mangle (Rhizophoraceae) in Central America (Belize). Dayarathne et al. (2020) found Rimora mangrovei on a mangrove sp. (Rhizophoraceae) in Asia (Thailand).
