Sporidesmium goidanichii (Rambelli) S. Hughes 1979

Collections Examined

AUCKLAND: Rangitoto Island, dead leaf of Quercus ilex, 17 Mar 2001, PDD 74123.

Description

Conidia 50–70 × 6–7 µm, 8–9-septate.

Notes

New record from New Zealand. This collection has longer conidia with more septa than I have previously seen (e.g., Nidd Gorge, UK, J. A. Cooper 7878, 25 May 2000, has conidia 40–55 × 6 µm and 6–7 septa). However, as noted by Hughes (1979), the conidial dimensions in this species are variable and this collection is identical with that cited by Matushima (1975). Historically the genus Sporidesmium included a heterogeneous assemblage of species. A partial reassessment of the genus was carried out by Subramanian (1992). S. goidanichii is a distinctive and recognisable species of Sporidesmium sens. str., and is frequently encountered in aquatic and semi-aquatic environments.
