MycoBank MB518558 Etymology: “ilyo” = Greek for “mud” or “dirt”. The name is given because most species are found as soil inhabitants. Teleomorph: Perithecia superficial, loosely attached to substrate, red, KOH+, globose to subglobose, 175–350 μm diam, with a broadly conical papilla, scaly or slightly warted; perithecial wall of two regions, 35–50 μm thick: outer region 25–30 μm thick, of thin walled, ca. 1 μm, globose, large cells; inner region of compressed, flattened cells. Ascospores ellipsoidal, 1-septate, smooth, hyaline. Anamorph: Cylindrocarpon-like; microconidia and chlamydospores abundant; macro- and microconidia apparently originating from same conidiophores. Conidiophores 40–160 um long, generally simple, unbranched or sparsely branched, irregularly or verticillately branched, rarely densely branched. Phialides cylindrical, 15–40 (–50) × 1.5–3 μm. Macroconidia straight, hyaline, 1–3-septate, rarely > 3-septate, 25–50(–55) × 5–7.5 μm, generally with a prominent basal or lateral abscission scar or hilum. Microconidia ellipsoidal to ovoid, hyaline, 0–1-septate, with a lateral or basal hilum, 3–15 × 2.5–5(–6) μm. Chlamydospores abundant, generally intercalary, globose, single or in chains, becoming brownish.
Habitat: On roots, soil, woody and herbaceous plants, often pathogenic.
Type: Ilyonectria radicicola (Gerlach & L. Nilsson) Chaverri & C. Salgado.
Notes: One potential existing generic name for this group is Coleomyces Moreau & M. Moreau that Booth (1966) listed as a synonym of Cylindrocarpon. The illustration in the original description of Coleomyces, based on C. rufus (Moreau & Moreau 1937), suggests that it belongs in the N. radicicola-group. However, in the original description the authors refer to this name as “ad interim.” Ad interim means it is a provisional name and, according to the ICBN (Art. 34.1, Ex. 6), it is not validly published. The authors o fthe present study were not able to find a later publication alidating this name. Therefore, Coleomyces cannot be used for species in the N. radicicola-group.
