Pseudopithomyces pandanicola Tibpromma & K.D. Hyde 2018

Saprobic on dead leaves of Pandanus amaryllifolius. Colonies effuse, dark brown to black. Mycelium mostly superficial or partly immersed on the substrate, composed of septate, branched, smooth, thin-walled, hyaline hyphae. Sexual morph Undetermined. Asexual morph Hyphomycetous. Conidiophores micro- to macronematous, mononematous, hyaline. Conidiogenous cells holoblastic, terminal, hyaline, cylindrical. Conidia 10–25 9 7–15 lm (x = 19 9 11 lm, n = 20), muriform with 2–3 transverse septa and 1–2 longitudinal septa, verruculose to echinulate, amygdaliform or ovoid, yellow to brown, often carrying part of broken conidiogenous cell at base. Culture characteristics: Conidia germinating on MEA within 12 h. Colonies on MEA, grey on the surface, with dense, circular, with entire edge, raised, dark brown in reverse, with smooth margin.

Pseudopithomyces palmicola Jun F. Li, Ariyaw. & K.D. Hyde 2015

Here we synonymise the species Pse. palmicola and Pse. pandanicola, both species were typified from Thailand three years apart. We have synonymised these species on the basis of their very similar DNA sequences (Fig. 4). In the four-gene alignment, the two type cultures are 99.95 % identical over 8 452 bp. The published gene sequences (Tibpromma et al. 2018) of the Pse. pandanicola ex-type strain for RPB2 (data not shown) and TEF1 (MH412734 and MH388399) closely match our genome sequences (Fig. S2). There are some differences in the culture morphology across the species (Fig. 9) that we consider natural intraspecific variation. In this study the conidia measured (15.8–) 19.3–23.3 (–34.2) × (9.4–) 13–15.2 (–20) µm, av. 21.6 × 14.0 µm, n = 105 at 25 °C (Figs 6, 12).
