Fungal diversity notes 1919–2016: taxonomic and phylogenetic contributions to fungal taxa

Abstract

This article is the 18th contribution to the Fungal Diversity Notes series, in which we document 98 taxa across two phyla, eight classes, 21 orders, 46 families, and 59 genera. The represent samples of taxa were collected from a diverse range of regions, including Australia, Benin, Bolivia, Burkina Faso, Cameroon, Canada, China, Czechia, India, Japan, Madagascar, Mexico, New Zealand, Sri Lanka, Thailand, Togo, USA, Uzbekistan and Venezuela. Among these, we introduce one new genus, 59 new species, 13 new combinations, one new name and 24 new records, along with information on their hosts and geographic distributions. The newly introduced genus is Fusicastoreum, and the newly described species..
