Forliomyces Phukhams., Camporesi & K.D. Hyde, in Phukhamsakda et al., Cryptog. Mycol. 37(1): 82 (2016).
Index Fungorum number: IF 551778; Facesoffungi number: FoF 01488, 1 morphological species (Species Fungorum 2022), 1 species with molecular data.
Saprobic on dead stem of Spartium junceum. Sexual morph: Unknown. Asexual morph: Conidiomata pycnidial, solitary, unilocular, scattered, immersed, subglobose, dark brown. Pycnidial wall composed of cells of textura angularis, multi-layered, outer layer composed of irregular, dark brown to light brown cells, inner layer of subhyaline cells. Conidiophores reduced to conidiogenous cells. Conidiogenous cells enteroblastic, phialidic, determinate, intergrated, solitary, hyaline, oblong to clavate, and formed from the cells lining inner wall. Conidia oblong, subobovoid, slightly curved at the base, with an abscission scar, transversely septate, brown at maturity, granulate, smooth-walled (adapted from Phukhamsakda et al. 2016).
Type species: Forliomyces uniseptatus Phukhams., Camporesi & K.D. Hyde
Notes: Forliomyces is unique in having immersed, pycnidial, subglobose, unilocular conidiomata with oblong to subobovoid, slightly curved, septate, conidia with abscission scars. Molecular markers available for Forliomyces include ITS, LSU and SSU.
