Four species of wood inhabiting cup fungi belonging to order Helotiales are reported for the first time in Iran. Species are described and illustrated with photographs and drawings. Three genera Arachnopeziza, Hymenoscyphus and Lachnum are new records for Iran.

Mitrula species represent a group of aquatic discomycetes with uncertain position in the Helotiales and an unknown life history. Mitrula species were studied using a combination of cultural, morphological, and molecular techniques. Pure colonies were isolated from Mitrula elegans, and conidia were induced in vitro. Herbarium materials from Europe, Asia, and North America were studied. Sequences...

BACKGROUND Glarea lozoyensis is a filamentous fungus used for the industrial production of non-ribosomal peptide pneumocandin B0. In the scope of a whole genome sequencing the complete mitochondrial genome of the fungus has been assembled and annotated. It is the first one of the large polyphyletic Helotiaceae family. A phylogenetic analysis was performed based on conserved proteins of the oxid...

Abstract The chalara-like anamorphs of Leotiomycetes are phialidic hyphomycetes with cylindrical collarettes and deeply seated sporulating loci, hyaline, aseptate or septate, conidia. They commonly found on plant litters in both terrestrial submerged environments, broad geographical distribution. This paper reports our research result diversity, taxonomy phylogeny these fungi China, which is ba...
