Anteaglonium

Anteaglonium Mugambi & Huhndorf, Syst. Biodiv. 7(4): 460 (2009).

Index Fungorum number: IF 541631; Facesoffungi number: FoF 06701, 8 morphological species (Species Fungorum 2022), 7 species with molecular data.

Saprobic on host. Sexual morph: Ascomata erumpent to superficial, solitary or in small to large clusters, sitting on thin darkened crust with or without sparse dark brown septate subiculum or both lacking, globose to sub globose or elongate, fusiform to oblong, brown to shiny black, opening by pronounced or indistinct longitudinal slit running entire length of fruit body or apex raised and laterally compressed, wall smooth or finely longitudinally striate or roughened, tomentum present or lacking, KOH extractable pigments present or absent, fruiting body contents pigmented or not. Asci cylindrical, short pedicillate, 8-spored uniseriate or biseriate. Ascospores fusiform to oblong, septate, constricted at the primary septum, hyaline or pigmented. Asexual morph: Unknown (adapted from Mugambi & Huhndorf 2009).

 Type species: Anteaglonium abbreviatum (Schwein.) Mugambi & Huhndorf

Notes: Anteaglonium is characterised by erumpent to superficial ascomata, cylindrical, short pedicillate asci and fusiform to oblong, septate ascospores. Anteaglonium can be differentiated from Glonium in having smaller ascomata that are elongate or globose and smaller ascospores less than 8 μm long (Jayasiri et al. 2018). Several authors have added new species to Anteaglonium (Almeida et al. 2014, Jayasiri et al. 2016, 2019, Jaklitsch et al. 2018). Anteaglonium is morphologically and phylogenetically a distinct genus in Anteagloniaceae. Molecular markers available for Anteaglonium are ITS, LSU, SSU, BTUB, RPB2 and TEF-1.
