Abstract
The recent realistic estimate of fungal numbers which used various algorithms was between 2.2 and 3.8 million. There are
nearly 100,000 accepted species of Fungi and fungus-like taxa, which is between 2.6 and 4.5% of the estimated species.
Several forums such as Botanica Marina series, Fungal Diversity notes, Fungal Biodiversity Profiles, Fungal Systematics and
Evolution—New and Interesting Fungi, Mycosphere notes and Fungal Planet have enhanced the introduction of new taxa
and nearly 2000 species have been introduced in these publications in the last decade. The need to define a fungal species
more accurately has been recognized, but there is much research needed before this can be better clarified. We address the
evidence that is needed to estimate the numbers of fungi and address the various advances that have been made towards its
understanding. Some genera are barely known, whereas some plant pathogens comprise numerous species complexes and
numbers are steadily increasing. In this paper, we examine ten genera as case studies to establish trends in fungal description
and introduce new species in each genus. The genera are the ascomycetes Colletotrichum and Pestalotiopsis (with many
species or complexes), Atrocalyx, Dothiora, Lignosphaeria, Okeanomyces, Rhamphoriopsis, Thozetella, Thyrostroma (relatively poorly studied genera) and the basidiomycete genus Lepiota. We provide examples where knowledge is incomplete
or lacking and suggest areas needing further research. These include (1) the need to establish what is a species, (2) the need
to establish how host-specific fungi are, not in highly disturbed urban areas, but in pristine or relatively undisturbed forests,
and (3) the need to establish if species in different continents, islands, countries or regions are different, or if the same fungi
occur worldwide? Finally, we conclude whether we are anywhere near to flattening the curve in new species description.

Introduction
The estimated numbers of fungi have always been a compelling topic with numerous discussion papers over time.
Mycologists have always pondered over how many fungal
species there are, as this has important implications for conservation practices. Fungi, including the seen mushrooms
and unseen microorganisms are diverse and form an integral component of life’s genetic diversity, but their actual

numbers are poorly understood and the estimates available
so far are debatable. Hawksworth (1991) provide a comprehensive account and argument for the numbers being
1.5 million. This was based on, amongst other metrics,
there being circa six taxa as unique to each plant species.
Since this critical paper, there have been several revisions
(Table 1) with estimates ranging from 0.5 to 13.2 million,
and the latest estimate being 11.7–13.2 million (Wu et al.
2019). Hawksworth and Lücking (2017) based their estimates (2.2–3.8 M), taking into account cryptic species, the
rates and patterns at which new species are being described,
unexplored niches and DNA based species from environmental DNA. New generation sequencing has also provided

new information on fungal numbers, but the methodology
needs to be much improved before we can use this data
(Hongsanan et al. 2018; Thines et al. 2018). Tedersoo et al.
(2014) obtained over 80,000 fungal OTUs from 14,600 soil
samples taken worldwide. They reported that tropical rainforests harbour the highest fungal diversity, but the number
of fungal species in the world may have been greatly overestimated. The main problem with all of these estimates is
that the authors were dealing with a limited amount of data
from which to extrapolate. For example, is the ratio of six
species of fungi to one host species realistic? Some genera
such as Aspergillus, Fusarium and Penicillium are far more
speciose than other genera (Seifert et al. 2007; Samson et al.
2014; Al-Hatmi et al. 2016; Hubka et al. 2018). Are the large
numbers of species in these genera because they are better
studied, or they are commonly found in urban environments?
This paper examines the various issues relating to estimates
of fungal species. We use ten genera as case studies and
conclude by addressing some of the issues that require further research with more data, better resolution or a better
understanding, before we can move forward to accurately
realize exactly how many fungi there are.

Problems in estimating species numbers
What is a species?
One of the most important aspects in estimating fungal
species numbers is accurately defining a species. There
have been numerous debates with regards to what comprises a species and this has recently been summarized
in Steenkamp et al. (2018). Most mycologists have relied
heavily on morphological attributes and DNA sequence
data to identity and distinguish species (Liu et al. 2015;
Wu et al. 2016; Thambugala et al. 2017b; Tibpromma et al.
2017; Hyde et al. 2019, 2020a; Phookamsak et al. 2019).
Simply, we mostly rely on phenotypic and phylogenetic
aspects and consider a species as a group of individuals
sharing similar phenotypes and sufficient DNA similarities
(Pausas and Verdú 2010; Steenkamp et al. 2018; Moore
et al. 2020). However, to be a distinct species they must
be sufficiently distinct from another sister group / species
and have ample differences in DNA, supported with phylogeny or other analyses (Jeewon and Hyde 2016; Bhunjun
Fungal Diversity (2020) 103:219–271
et al. 2020). It is presently impossible to derive a standard
system for differentiating species for all groups of fungi
(Lücking 2020).
Kurtzman and Robnett (1998) proposed that new yeasts
should be characterized by divergence in the variable D1/D2
domain of the large subunit (26S) ribosomal DNA and ITS
region and this has been followed widely by yeast mycologists (Wang et al. 2015). The topic of defining a species
is presently receiving much interest and the outcomes will
heavily affect fungal numbers. For example, many cryptic
species of plant pathogens are currently being recognized
and numbers continue to increase (Cai et al. 2011). Cryptic
species have similar phenotypes, but different phylotypes
and this has resulted in highly speciose genera, such as in
Aspergillus, Colletotrichum and Fusarium (Samson et al.
2014; Al-Hatmi et al. 2016; Hubka et al. 2018; Jayawardena
et al. in press). Whether such phenomena are prevalent in the
lesser studied fungal genera, has yet to be addressed.
Cryptic species/species complexes
Evolution has not only shaped life on earth, but has also
influenced species diversity. Speciation has resulted in the
formation of new and distinct species in the course of evolution due to separation of populations (Giraud et al. 2008),
but this has also led to contention concerning the existence
of species complexes and cryptic species. Mycologists are
increasingly discovering novel cryptic species and this will
have an impact on fungal numbers as they constitute important units of biodiversity. These cryptic species are not only
important for taxonomic purposes and estimating biodiversity, but also for understanding community dynamics,
especially with plant pathogens, and to gain insights into
ecological and evolutionary processes that drive speciation.
DNA sequence data has revealed that in many cases,
phenotypically identical or similar species actually represent different species and these might be more diverse than
previously anticipated. This is evident in speciose genera
such as Colletotrichum (Jayawardena et al. 2020), Diaporthe
(Udayanga et al. 2014; Dissanayake et al. 2017), Pestalotiopsis (Jeewon et al. 2003; Maharachchikumbura et al.
2013a, 2014; Solarte et al. 2018) and Fusarium (O’Donnell
et al. 2008), but may also be true of poorly studied genera.
Genealogical concordance phylogenetic species recognition analysis (GCPSR) analyzed by the pairwise homoplasy
index (PHI) test was used to determine the recombination
level within closely related species (Bruen et al. 2006). The
relationships between closely related taxa are visualized by
constructing splits graphs from concatenated datasets, using
the LogDet transformation and splits decomposition options.
If the PHI results value is lower than 0.05 (Φw < 0.05), it
indicates that significant recombination is present in the
221
dataset. This may be an important method to provide further
evidence to justify a species.
Unstudied habitats, regions and continents
Fungi are ubiquitous and have been recovered from numerous diverse habitats. For example, they are pathogens of
economically important crops (Jayawardena et al. 2019a,
b), live inside plant tissues as endophytes (Tibpromma
et al. 2018; Rashmi et al. 2019), act as decomposers and are
important in nutrient cycling (Hyde et al. 2005; Tang et al.
2005; Kuehn et al. 2011; Saikkonen et al. 2015; Juan-Ovejero et al. 2020; Op De Beeck et al. 2020) or associated with
roots as arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi (Kivlin et al. 2011;
Cao et al. 2018; Powell and Rillig 2018; Wang et al. 2019).
Some fungal communities have been well-studied because
of human importance, while others have barely been studied, and therefore fungal diversity might be underestimated
(Hawksworth 2001). There are numerous understudied habitats which harbour numerous species, and if they are studied
diverse, new species may be discovered (Hyde et al. 2018b).
For example, less research has focused on agroforestry systems despite the fact that fungi play vital roles in forestry
health (Udawatta et al. 2019). Entomopathogenic fungi on
insects are less-well studied and can also be commercially
exploited (Butt et al. 2016; Hyde et al. 2019). Similarly,
fungi in ant domains have only recently been discovered
and are likely to comprise numerous new species (Mueller
2002; Schlick-Steiner et al. 2008; Luiso et al. 2020). Marine
habitats have been well-studied for fungi with numerous new
species being described with emphasis on bioprospecting
(Hyde et al. 2000; Kohlmeyer and Kohlmeyer 2013; Lozada
and Dionisi 2015; Gladfelter et al. 2019; Jeewon et al. 2019).
The ocean is however, vast and fungi from deep sea oceans,
endophytes of seaweeds and microsporidia causing diseases
of marine animals need to be investigated (Sweet and Bateman 2015; Gnavi et al. 2017; Xu et al. 2019). Other less
researched habitats where fungi could be abundant and
reveal numerous novel species discoveries are Karst fungi,
caves, forests (especially pristine rainforests), extreme
environments, volcanoes, mountains, deserts, freshwater
aquatic systems, lakes, grasslands, indoor environment and
many others (Connell et al. 2009; Shapiro and Pringle 2010;
Sterflinger et al. 2012; Hagen et al. 2013; Ariyawansa et al.
2016a, b, c; Woudenberg et al. 2017; Bensch et al. 2018).
Thus, research of understudied habitats is likely to result in
unexpectedly large numbers of new fungi.
The study of fungi has been extremely disparate. The
fungi of Australia, most of Europe, Japan, North America,
New Zealand and South Africa have been relatively wellstudied (Chethana et al. 2020), but in most other parts of
the world, further studies are warranted. The fungi in large
areas of Africa (e.g. Malawi, Nigeria, Zambia), Asia (e.g.
13
222
Cambodia, Indonesia, Myanmar), Europe (e.g. Bulgaria,
Greece), Central Asia (e.g. Uzbekistan), the Pacific Islands
(e.g. Fiji) and South America (Peru, Venezuela) have hardly
been studied. If we study these regions will we find large
numbers of new species or will they be the same as other
parts of the world? It has been suggested that a large proportion of new species awaits discovery and possibly lie in
tropical regions such as Thailand (Hyde et al. 2018b).
Ratio of hosts to fungal species
The numbers and ratio of fungal species to plant or animal
hosts have barely been investigated. Although, Ellis and Ellis
(1985) provided a significant text of the fungi on land plants,
this was a general text that only dealt with the UK where
habitats are highly disturbed and plant diversity relatively
low. Very few studies have addressed the diversity of fungi
in pristine rainforests. Are fungal species ubiquitous on most
plant hosts in such habitats or are they specific to certain
host species, genera or families? In a landmark study, Fröhlich and Hyde (1999) reported the fungal communities on
two palm species (Licuala sp. and Licuala ramsayi) growing in north Queensland, Australia and an area of pristine
rainforest in Brunei Darussalam. They identified 242 taxa
based on morphology and remarkably only 30 taxa overlapped between Licuala sp. and Licuala ramsayi. With such
low overlap between two palm species, but in different countries, what is the situation with other plant hosts? Studies on
Heliconia, teak, bamboo, Pandanaceae, Quercus and Clematis also indicate that the fungi on these hosts barely overlap,
thus we are far from understanding the relationships between
fungal species and their hosts (Dai et al. 2017; Doilom et al.
2017; Tibpromma et al. 2018; Phukhamsakda et al. 2020).
Case studies
In this section we introduce new species in ten genera and
discuss the likelihood of further new species being discovered. We follow the recent outlines in He et al. (2019), Hyde
et al. (2020b) and Hongsanan et al. (2020) for the arrangement of taxa.

Dothideales is typified by Dothioraceae, a family introduced by Chevallier (1826). Members of Dothideaceae
are cosmopolitan in their distribution and associated with
woody plants (Hyde et al. 2013). Eighteen genera are presently accommodated in the family (Hongsanan et al. 2020).
Dothiora Fr.
Dothiora is typified by D. pyrenophora which was collected from dead branches of Sorbus aucuparia (Rosaceae)
in Switzerland (Thambugala et al. 2014). Eighty-four epithets are listed under Dothiora in Index Fungorum (2020)
and most of these species are recorded as saprobes or pathogens on plants in terrestrial habitats (Thambugala et al.
2014). The realistic number of extant Dothiora is likely
much less than 84. The genus has not been monographed
recently and many species are synonymized and others
belong to genera such as Botryosphaeria, Diplodia, and
Myriangium. In this paper, Dothiora omaniana is described
from Punica granatum (pomegranate) from a commercial
orchard in Oman. The species is conspicuous as it causes
leaf spot disease. However, are we likely to find many more
new species in this genus? Twenty-two Dothiora species
have sequence data in GenBank and are confirmed as distinct species. The taxa are from 23 different hosts and 17
plant families indicating that the genus has a wide host range
and that species are possibly specific to families or genera
(Table 2). Species have been collected mainly in Europe,
and thus other continents and numerous regions have never
been studied for the genus (Table 2). Thus, we believe that
comprehensive studies on this genus are likely to result in
numerous new species.

was isolated from leaves of Agapanthus sp. in South Africa
(Crous and Groenewald 2016). Dothiora omaniana can be
distinguished from D. agapanthi (conidia = (8–)10–12(–13)
× 3(–3.5) μm) by its smaller conidia ((4–)6–8(–9) × 2–4 μm)
as well as shape of the conidiogenous cells.

Species of Dothidotthiaceae are parasitic on living hosts
and saprobic on wood and branches in terrestrial habitats
(Hyde et al. 2013; Pem et al. 2019a; Senwanna et al. 2019).

Thyrostroma Höhn.
Senwanna et al. (2019) and Pem et al. (2019b) provided
the most recent treatments of Thyrostroma. In this study, a
new species Thyrostroma alhagi collected from Alhagi kirghisorum (Fabaceae) in Uzbekistan is introduced. The new
species is compared to similar species in the genus and is
established based on phylogenetic analyses (Fig. 3).
There are 33 epithets under the genus Thyrostroma in
Index Fungorum (2020) but the actual number of extant species may be less as most of them have been synonymized and
transferred to other genera such as Botryosphaeria and Melanconis. Only 13 Thyrostroma species are confirmed with
molecular data although there are more than 200 sequences
of Thyrostroma in GenBank. Some of those sequences are
unidentified species such as Thyrostroma sp. isolate TX11
and other undescribed isolates. It seems that we are likely
to discover many more new species of Thyrostroma. The
taxa confirmed with molecular data are from 11 different
hosts which belong to ten plant families. The genus appears
to have a wide host range and species are possibly specific
to families or genera (Table 3). Thyrostroma species have
only been collected in Korea, Russia, Ukraine, the USA
and Uzbekistan from a limited number of host genera and
families. Many other regions have never been studied for the

Notes—Thyrostroma alhagi forms a lineage close
to T. ephedricola. Thyrostroma alhagi however, differs from T. ephedricola in having larger sporodochia
(660–750 µm high, 850–1150 µm diam., vs. 90–166 µm
high, 70–150 µm diam.) and conidia (45–65 × 23–26 μm

T. robiniae in having shorter and wider conidiophores
(14–28 × 9.6–9.9 μm vs. 23–35 × 4–9 µm) and larger
conidia (45–65 × 23–26 μm vs. 38–50 × 13–20 µm).
Thyrostroma alhagi, also differs from T. compactum (type species) in having narrower conidiophores

excellent opportunity to unravel the species diversity with
the possibility of discovering additional novel species
from Thyrostroma.
Lophiotremataceae K. Hiray. & Kaz. Tanaka
Lophiotremataceae species are saprobic on herbaceous
and woody plants in terrestrial habitats (Hyde et al. 2013;
Hashimoto et al. 2017). Currently, six genera are placed in
Lophiotremataceae (Wijayawardene et al. 2018, 2020; Hongsanan et al. 2020).
Atrocalyx A. Hashim. & Kaz. Tanaka
Atrocalyx species are found on twigs or bark of woody
plants or seeds and have been collected in Belgium, China,
Japan, Spain and Thailand (Hashimoto et al. 2017; Tibpromma et al. 2017; de Silva et al. 2018; Jaklitsch et al.
2018; Jayasiri et al. 2019). The morphology of this genus
is similar to Lophiotrema (Hashimoto et al. 2017). There
are eight Atrocalyx epithets in Index Fungorum (2020), all
confirmed with molecular data. The members of Atrocalyx
are saprobes on various hosts. The known taxa of Atrocalyx
are from five different hosts distributed in four plant families
indicating that the genus has a wide host range and species are possibly specific to families or genera (Table 4). All
known Atrocalyx taxa have been collected from Asia and
Europe, while numerous regions have never been studied for
this genus (Table 4). Thus, we believe that comprehensive
studies on this genus are likely to result in numerous new
species.
Fig. 2 Phylogram generated from maximum likelihood analysis based
on combined LSU + ITS + TEF + TUB sequence data of species in
Dothiora. Bootstrap support values greater than 50% are given above
the nodes. The new isolate is in blue and the tree is rooted with Dothidea ribesia (CPC 30638)
bases (9.6–9.8 µm diam. vs. 6–11 µm). A comparison of
the 479 ITS (+ 5.8S) nucleotides (without gaps) of T. alhagi with that of T. ephedricola and T. compactum reveals
8 (1.7%) and 16 (3.4%) nucleotide differences respectively.
Thus, the new species is justified based on molecular evidence and morphological differences. Recent research on
the ascomycetous microfungi have yielded some species
previously unknown in Uzbekistan, as well as several
new to science which include nine new genera and more
than 30 species (Gafforov 2017; Gafforov and Rakhimov
2017; Wanasinghe et al. 2017, 2018a, b; Pem et al. 2018,
2019d, e; Samarakoon et al. 2018; Gafforov et al. 2019;

In the phylogenic analysis, our new species clusters
with A. bambusae (MFLUCC 10–0558) with weak support (Fig. 6). Therefore, we compared nucleotide base pairs
of A. quercus with A. bambusae to justify our new species
based on the guidelines of Jeewon and Hyde (2016). Five bp
differences in LSU, 23 bp differences in ITS, 12 bp differences in SSU and 50 bp differences in TEF1 were observed
(gaps were excluded). Phylogenetic relationships of our new
species are shown in Fig. 6 and the GCPSR results (Φw =
0.9853, Fig. 7) also support that our species is distinct. This
is the first record of Atrocalyx on Quercus.
Phaeoseptaceae Boonmee, Thambug. & K.D. Hyde
Phaeoseptaceae was established to accommodate lignicolous fungal lineages on wood. There are currently five
genera in this family: Decaisnella, Lignosphaeria, Phaeoseptum (generic type), Pleopunctum and putative strains of
Thyridaria macrostomoides (Abdel-Wahab and Jones 2003;
Zhang et al. 2012a; Ariyawansa et al. 2015; Thambugala
et al. 2015; Hyde et al. 2018b; Liu et al. 2019b; Phukhamsakda et al. 2019).
Lignosphaeria Boonmee, Thambug. & K. D. Hyde
There are currently two epithets under Lignosphaeria in
Index Fungorum (2020), but the realistic number of species
is likely to be higher, as both species have been collected as
saprobes on dead plant material in Chiang Mai Province,
Thailand (Table 5). In this study we introduce a new species,
Lignosphaeria diospyrosa on Diospyros malabarica from
Krabi Province, Thailand. Morphological and phylogenetic
analyses provide strong evidence that our collection is a new
species (Figs. 8, 9). The two other species have been collected from an undetermined host, so based on current data
we are unable to speculate if the species in this genus are
host-specific, but all the species have been found on woody
bark. We believe that extensive sampling of unstudied hosts
and regions is likely to result in numerous new species.
Lignosphaeria diospyrosa Bhunjun, Phukhams. & K.D.
Hyde, sp. nov.
Index Fungorum number: IF557335; Facesoffungi number: FoF 07751; Fig. 9
Etymology: The epithet reflects the genus of host plant,
Diospyros malabarica.

Saprobic on dried bark of Diospyros malabarica. Sexual morph: Ascomata 315–350 × 240–330 µm, gregarious, scattered, solitary, immersed, with only black shiny
ostioles visible, globose to compressed, carbonaceous to
sub-carbonaceous, black, with a well-developed pseudoclypeus, ostiolate. Ostioles 130–200 × 145–165 μm, central,
long, elongate, oblong, carbonaceous, filled with hyaline
periphyses. Peridium 10–30 µm wide ( x̄ = 20 µm, n= 20),
uniform, up to 45 µm at apex, composed of 4(–5) layers
of thick-walled cells of textura angularis, cells towards the
inside lighter, with a thin, hyaline, gelatinous inner layer.
Hamathecium of dense, 0.8–1.6 µm wide, filamentous,
branched, septate, anastomosing pseudoparaphyses, situated between and above the asci, embedded in a gelatinous
matrix. Asci 48–75 × 5–10 µm diam. ( x̄ = 65 × 7 µm, n = 50),
8-spored, bitunicate, fissitunicate, oblong to clavate, with

Notes: Lignosphaeria diospyrosa is introduced as a new
sexual morph species. This species has overlapping asci
size (48–75 × 5–10 µm vs. 63–68 × 7–8.5 μm in L. thailandica vs. 47.5–74 × 8–13 μm in L. fusispora), but smaller
ascospores (10–15 × 2.5–5 µm vs. 15–19 × 5–6 μm in L.
thailandica vs. 15–19 × 3–5 μm in L. fusispora). Lignosphaeria thailandica can be distinguished from L. fusispora based on its coriaceous to carbonaceous ascomata
with rounded ostioles and 2–3-seriate, narrowly fusiform
ascospores with acute ends.
Lignosphaeria diospyrosa forms a sister clade to L.
thailandica and L. fusispora with strong statistical support (Fig. 8). There is no base pair difference in the LSU
sequences between Lignosphaeria diospyrosa and the other
species. Interestingly, there is no base pair difference in the
ITS and LSU gene between Lignosphaeria thailandica and
L. fusispora. The TEF1, RPB2 and SSU gene regions are not
available for Lignosphaeria thailandica and L. fusispora.
Lignosphaeria thailandica and L. fusispora could represent the same species based on available sequence data and
extensive sampling is needed to differentiate between the
distinct phenotypes. Lignosphaeria diospyrosa differs from
L. thailandica and L. fusispora by 18 base pairs (4.3%) in
the partial ITS sequence.

Xu et al. 2010; Maharachchikumbura et al. 2012, 2014; Debbab et al. 2013; Norphanphoun et al. 2019). In this entry, we
introduce a new species Pestalotiopsis kandelicola based on
morphology and phylogeny. The fungus was isolated from
the asymptomatic leaves of Kandelia candel in Taiwan.
Although there are 366 Pestalotiopsis epithets in Index
Fungorum (2020), the number of known Pestalotiopsis
is likely to be much less, as many species are synonyms
and others belong to other genera such as Monochaetia,
Neopestalotiopsis, Truncatella and Pseudopestalotiopsis
(Maharachchikumbura et al. 2011, 2014). Thus 285 species are presently listed in Pestalotiopsis in Species Fungorum (2020). However, are we likely to find many more
new species in the genus? Eighty Pestalotiopsis species have
sequence data in GenBank and are confirmed as distinct species. The taxa are from 56 different hosts and 31 plant families indicating that the genus has a wide host range and that
species are possibly specific to families or genera (Table 6).
Species have been collected from Africa, Asia, Australia,
European, North America, South America but, numerous

regions have never been studied for the genus (Table 6).
Thus, we believe that comprehensive studies on this genus
are likely to result in numerous new species.

Chaetosphaeriaceae Réblová, M.E. Barr & Samuels
The asexual morphs in Chaetosphaeriaceae have been
reported as both coelomycetes and hyphomycetes (Réblová
et al. 1999; Shenoy et al. 2007; Lu et al. 2016; Wei et al.
2018; Lin et al. 2019). There are currently 44 genera
accommodated in the family (Wijayawardene et al. 2020).
However, some genera are polyphyletic and phylogenetic
13
relationships are still unresolved (Tibpromma et al. 2018;
Wei et al. 2018; Lin et al. 2019; Phookamsak et al. 2019).
Further taxon sampling with molecular data is required
to resolve these ambiguous genera (Jeewon et al. 2009;
Perera et al. 2016; Tibpromma et al. 2018; Wei et al. 2018;
Lin et al. 2019).
Fungal Diversity (2020) 103:219–271
Thozetella Kuntze
Thozetella was introduced by Kuntze (1891) and is typified by T. nivea. The genus is characterized by sporodochial
or synnematous conidiomata, with terminated, phialidic
conidiogenous cells and hyaline, naviculate to fusiform or
ellipsoid, aseptate conidia, with unbranched setula at each
end, and forming sterile microawns (Sutton and Cole 1983;
Perera et al. 2016; Tibpromma et al. 2018). Most Thozetella
species have similar conidial characters, however, these species can be distinguished by their sporodochial formations
and microawns coupled with molecular analysis (Paulus
et al. 2004; Jeewon et al. 2009; Da Silva and Grandi 2011;
Perera et al. 2016; Tibpromma et al. 2018; Phookamsak et al.
2019). Thozetella species have been reported as saprobes
in soil and on decaying plants in terrestrial and freshwater
habitats from temperate and tropical regions and there is no
reported sexual morph (Morris 1956; Agnihothrudu 1958;
Waipara et al. 1996; Sivichai et al. 2002; Delgado-Rodríguez
et al. 2004; Paulus et al. 2004; Jeewon et al. 2009; Barbosa
et al. 2011; Da Silva and Grandi 2011, 2013; Perera et al.
2016; Crous et al. 2018a, 2019; Tibpromma et al. 2018;
Phookamsak et al. 2019). There are 26 species accommodated in the genus (Index Fungorum 2020). We follow the
latest treatment and updated accounts of Thozetella in Perera
et al. (2016), Tibpromma et al. (2018) and Phookamsak et al.
(2019). There are 114 sequences of 16 Thozetella species
in GenBank, however, these taxa only have ITS and LSU
sequence data, and no DNA sequence data from protein coding gene.
A new species of Thozetella, T. bambusicola, from dead
bamboo branches is introduced here. It is the first time to
discover sporodochia surrounded by black, hairy setae in
this genus. The species is conspicuous as it has short sporodochial or synnematous conidioma. We are likely to find
more new species as taxa in this genus can be found from
bamboo, leaf litter, palm parts, seed pods, shrubs and debris
in at least 14 plant families indicating that the genus has a
wide host range and that Thozetella are possibly specific to
host families or genera (Table 7). Most species have been
collected in America, Asia and Oceania, and numerous
regions have never been studied for the genus (Table 7).
Thus, we believe that comprehensive studies on this genus
are likely to result in numerous new species.
Thozetella bambusicola H.B. Jiang, Phookamsak & K.D.
Hyde, sp. nov.
Index Fungorum number: IF557717; Facesoffungi number: FoF 08140; Fig 12
Etymology: Refers to the fungal bamboo host.
Holotype: KUN-HKAS 101776
Saprobic on dead bamboo branches. Sexual morph:
Undetermined. Asexual morph: Hyphomycetous. Sporodochia solitary, scattered, superficial, yellowish to orange,
239
cylindrical or subulate, surrounded by black, hairy setae
growing from the base. Microawns 70–100 µm long,
3.5–5 µm wide, aseptate, smooth-walled, thick-walled,
straight or curved, sometimes L-shaped. Conidiophores
37–60 × 2–2.5 μm, macronematous, synnematous, abundant, brown, elongated, cylindrical, septate, branched,
densely compacted along the synnemata axis, smoothwalled. Conidiogenous cells 1–2.2 μm wide, phialidic, hyaline, subcylindrical, smooth-walled. Conidia
13.7–15.5 × 2.1–2.7 μm ( x̄ = 14.6 × 2.4 μm, n = 20), naviculate to fusiform or ellipsoid, with rounded ends, hyaline,
smooth-walled, with a single filiform setula at each end,
4.8–5.7 µm long.
Material examined: CHINA, Sichuan Province, Yibin
City, Changning County, Shunan Bamboo Forest, on
dead bamboo branches, 23 July 2019, H.B. Jiang and R.
Phookamsak, SC025 (KUN-HKAS 101776, holotype).
GenBank numbers: LSU: MT102918, SSU: MT102919,
ITS: MT102917.
Notes—Thozetella bambusicola is unique and can be
distinguished from other Thozetella species in having
sporodochia surrounded by black, hairy setae. Thozetella
bambusicola forms an independent lineage distinct from
other Thozetella taxa based on phylogenetic analyses of a
combined ITS, LSU and TUB2 sequence dataset (Fig. 13).
Through the NCBI BLASTn search of ITS region, T. bambusicola is most similar to Thozetella sp. (JMGB06_7A1) with
94.4% similarity, however, they differ in 27/481 bp (5.6%).
Glomerellales
Glomerellales was invalidly introduced by Chadefaud
(1960) and was validated by Réblová et al. (2011). This
order currently includes five families viz. Australiascaceae,
Glomerellaceae, Malaysiascaceae, Plectosphaerellaceae
and Reticulascaceae (Maharachchikumbura et al. 2016;
Tibpromma et al. 2018; Hyde et al. 2020b; Wijayawardene
et al. 2020).
Glomerellaceae
Glomerellaceae was invalidly published by Locquin
(1984) and was validated by Zhang et al. (2006) with a
Latin description placing this family within the subclass
Hypocreomycetidae. Maharachchikumbura et al. (2016)
provided evidence for the phylogenetic position of Glomerellaceae within Glomerellales. This family is monotypic
with Colletotrichum.
Colletotrichum Corda
Colletotrichum is typified by C. lineola which was collected from on a dead stem of an undetermined host of Apiaceae in the Czech Republic (Corda 1831). Nine-hundred
and two epithets are listed under Colletotrichum in Index
Fungorum (2020) and most these species are recorded as

pathogens, endophytes or saprobes from terrestrial habitats
(Cannon et al. 2012; Jayawardena et al. 2016a, b). In this
paper, we introduce a new species of Colletotrichum, which
was collected from leaves of Citrus medica in China.
Although there are a large number of Colletotrichum
epithets, the number of known Colletotrichum species is
likely to be much less. Thus 493 species are presently listed
in Colletotrichum in Species Fungorum (2020). There are
253 Colletotrichum species in GenBank confirmed with
molecular data, however only 248 species are accepted in
Jayawardena et al. (2020). In this paper, we describe a new
species, Colletotrichum citrus-medicae, from Citrus medica
(citron) from a commercial orchard in China (Figs. 14, 15).
The species is conspicuous as it causes leaf spot disease.
However, are we likely to find many more new species in the
genus? The majority of species belong to 14 species complexes while a few species as singletons (Damm et al. 2019).
All species are from different hosts and plant families with a
wide geographic distribution, indicating that the genus has
a wide host range and we may find many new species with
further sampling. Several species are host-specific (Jayawardena et al. 2016a), especially species in the caudatum
and graminicola species complexes from Poaceae. However,
it is still unclear whether this is due to inadequate sampling
or whether these species are truly host-specific. The number
of species accepted by (Jayawardena et al. 2016a) is 190, and
during the past four years 63 species from different hosts and
different countries have been reported (Bhunjun et al. 2019;
Damm et al. 2019; Fu et al. 2019). There are many studies on Colletotrichum, but not all countries or host families
have been investigated (Cannon et al. 2012; Jayawardena
et al. 2016a) and most of these studies focus on economically important crops. Thus, we believe that comprehensive
studies on this genus are likely to result in numerous new
species.

Notes: We selected five gene fragments for MP and
BYPP phylogenetic analyses. Based on DNA sequences,
C. citrus-medicae does not belong to any known Colletotrichum species complex; the closest matches in blastn
searches of the ex-holotype strain in GenBank with
sequences of the different loci resulted in sequences of
strains from different species complexes. Strains (HGUP
1554, HGUP 1555 and HGUP 1556) formed an independent branch with high MP bootstrap and BYPP support
(100/1.00) (Fig. 14). Colletotrichum citrus-medicae is a
singleton species closely related to C. sydowii. The newly
described species shows 51 bp differences in ITS, 59 bp
in CHS and more 50 bp differences in GAPDH, ACT and
Tub2 with C. sydowii. Colletotrichum citrus-medicae differs from C. sydowii by relatively shorter conidia (13.5–17
vs 18–21) and smaller simple, un-lobed appressoria (6–9.5
vs 8–18) (Weir et al. 2012).Thirty-two species of Colletotrichum have been reported from Citrus sp. worldwide
and 15 species have been reported from China (Farr and
Rossman 2020). Among them C. boninense, C. brevisporum, C. gloeosporioides, C. novae-zelandiae and C. truncatum are known from Citrus medicae.

Halosphaeriaceae E. Müll. & Arx ex Kohlm
Halosphaeriaceae, typified by Halosphaeria, is one of
the seven currently accepted families in Microascales, viz
Ceratocystidaceae, Chadefaudiellaceae, Gondwanamycetaceae, Graphiaceae, Halosphaeriaceae, Microascaceae, Triadelphiaceae (Hyde et al. 2020b). It includes 163 species in
64 genera (Pang 2002; Jones et al. 2009, 2015, 2017, 2019;
Maharachchikumbura et al. 2015; Wijayawardene et al.
2017, 2018, 2020; Hyde et al. 2020b). Halosphaeriaceous
species are cosmopolitan in distribution and are primarily
found in marine environments thriving on different substrates (e.g. driftwood, mangrove wood, seagrasses, marine
algae) (Jones 2011; Jones and Pang 2012; Jones et al. 2013),
and some are freshwater species (Pang and Jheng 2012; Cai
13
et al. 2014). Around 75% of halosphaeriaceous species have
been sequenced (Jones et al. 2017). The type species for the
family is Halosphaeria and type species H. appendiculata.
Kohlmeyer (1972) assigned 12 species to the genus, but the
genus was subsequently split into a number of different genera based on the ultrastructure and ontogeny of the ascospore
appendages (Jones et al. 1983, 1984). Halosphaeria appendiculata and H. cucullata were retained in the genus (Jones
1995).
Okeanomyces (Kohlm.) K.L. Pang & E.B.G. Jones
Okeanomyces was introduced by Pang et al. (2004) to
accommodate Halosphaeria cucullata. This species was
originally described as Remispora cucullata by Kohlmeyer
(1986) and subsequently transferred to Halosphaeria by
Kohlmeyer (1972), however, it differs from H. appendiculata in the morphology of the ascospores and its appendages.
Fungal Diversity (2020) 103:219–271
Halosphaeria cucullata has a single polar cap-like or globose gelatinous deciduous appendage on the ascospores,
while H. appendiculata has polar and equatorial spoonshaped appendages. Furthermore, ascospores of the former
are more cylindrical as compared to the latter. In addition to
the differences in morphology, molecular data supports the
separation of this species from Halosphaeria and Pang et al.
(2004) introduced Okeanomyces. In this paper, with support
of molecular data we describe the second Okeanomyces species, isolated from an intertidal rocky shore in Thailand. Periconia prolifica is the asexual morph of Okeanomyces cucullatus initially established in culture by Kohlmeyer (1969)
and subsequently confirmed by sequence data (Pang et al.
2004). Other marine Periconia species include P. abyssa and
P. salina (Kohlmeyer 1977; Dayarathne et al. 2020). Periconia abyssa was recovered at depths of 3975 m and 5315 m
in the Gulf of Angola and Iberian Sea, on wood. It has also
been documented many times from mangrove habitats, but
whether this is the same taxon remains to be determined.
Periconia salina was recently described by Dayarathne et al.
(2020) from buried bark in a sand dune in Wales. Periconia
is highly polyphyletic with circa 200 epithets listed in Index
Fungorum (2020) with species referred to Pleosporales
(e.g. Apiosporaceae, Davidiellaceae, Herpotrichiellaceae
and others), Microascaceae, Ophiostomataceae and Halosphaeriaceae. Periconia species have also been described
from freshwater habitats: P. aquatica (Hyde et al. 2017), P.
byssoides (Shearer 1972; Luo et al. 2004), P. cookei (Hyde
245
et al. 2018a), P. digitata (Luo et al. 2004), P. homothallica
(Tanaka et al. 2015), P. laminella (Abdel-Aziz 2016), P.
lichenoides (Borse et al. 2016), P. minutissima (Hyde et al.
2017), P. prolifica (Shearer 1972; Abdel-Aziz 2016) P. pseudobyssoides (Hyde et al. 2018a), P. pseudodigitata (Tanaka
et al. 2015) and P. saraswatipurensis (Borse et al. 2016), P.
submersa (Hyde et al. 2017).
Although a single Okeanomyces species is presently
known and 200 Periconia epithets are listed in Index Fungorum, it is unlikely that many more Okeanomyces species
remain to be discovered; more likely the asexual morph
Periconia may yield further marine taxa as in the recently
described P. salina. In this paper, we describe a new species Okeanomyces marinus from submerged decaying wood
collected at Nai Yang Beach, Thailand. However, are we
likely to find many more new species in the genus? Two
Okeanomyces species with sequence data in GenBank are
confirmed as distinct species. Okeanomyces cucullatus is
widely distributed in tropical countries, primarily as the
asexual morph (Australia, Bahamas, Belize, Brazil, Brunei,
Great Abaco, Guatemala, Hawaii, India, Japan, Malaysia,
Mauritius, Mexico, South Africa, Thailand, USA). However,
numerous regions have never been studied for the genus e.g.
the African and South American tropical locations.
New marine fungi continue to be described, especially
from mangrove habitats and it is likely that this will continue
to be the case. Jones et al. (2019) listed 1257 species in 539
genera while currently 1692, species in 685, are listed in
Fig. 16 Number of novel
marine fungi discovered from
2010–2019

246
www.marinefungi.org. The highest number of marine fungi
described was in the decade 1990–1999 with 150 taxa (Jones
and Pang 2012). In the decade 2000 to 2009 this dropped to
42. Recent numbers of marine fungi introduced are presented
in Figure 16, with 132 new marine fungi introduced in the
decade 2010–2019. Jones (2011) considered the question
“Are there more marine fungi waiting to be described?” and
estimated that the number of marine fungi may be 10,000
to 12,500 species based on the substrates and geographical
locations to be sampled. Kis-Papo (2005) postulated there
are 10,029 marine fungi based on the assumption that only
circa 5% of all fungi have been described. Potential sources
of more marine species include marine derived fungi isolated from algae, soils, sand, and water, planktonic fungi,
deep-sea fungi, unculturable fungi, and cryptic species
(Jones 2011). We can attribute the increase in the number
of marine fungi to those described from mangroves substrates, isolated from seaweeds, deep sea fungi and many
new marine yeasts (Limtong and Yongmanitchai 2010;
Statzell-Tallman et al. 2010; Fell et al. 2011; Gnavi et al.
2017; Devadatha and Sarma 2018; Xu et al. 2018; Jones
et al. 2019; Zhang et al. 2019). The continued discovery of
new marine fungi can also be attributed to a wider selection
of marine substrates investigated for fungi e.g. algae (Cheng
et al. 2015; Garzoli et al. 2018), sponges (Gao et al. 2008;
Bovio et al. 2018), sampling of deep sea environments (Xu
et al. 2018, 2019) and new host mangrove substrates e.g.
decaying petiole of the palm Phoenix paludosa from intertidal zone (Jones et al. 2019), and on decaying wood of the
maritime salt marsh plant Suaeda monoica (Devadatha and
Sarma 2018).
The significant increase in the number of new marine
taxa introduced in the decade 2010-2019 supports the notion
that many more marine fungi can be expected to be documented in the years to come and supports the estimates of
numbers of new fungi proposed by Jones (2011) (Fig. 16).
One other source of marine fungi that has been neglected
is plankton and zoosporic animals (Hassett and Gradinger
2016; Hassett et al. 2017, 2019). Comeau et al. (2016) noted
that novel chytrid lineages dominate fungal sequences in
diverse marine habitats. Frenken et al. (2017) noted that a
survey of key databases for fungal taxonomic assignment
reveals that Chytridiomycota represent between 0.1 and 4%
of the fungal sequences, while the number of parasitic species may be fewer than a few dozen. Greater numbers of
marine fungi can be expected by surveying marine algae as
some 9200–12,500 are described and they cover vast areas
of the oceans yielding huge biomass annually, also microsporidial diseases of marine animals is another source of
new taxa (Pang personal communication).
Spatafora and Blackwell (1994) were the first to undertake the sequencing of a marine ascomycete namely,
13
Fungal Diversity (2020) 103:219–271
Halosphaeriopsis medsiosetigera and resulted in a significant advancement in the study of the phylogeny of marine
fungi, especially their higher order classification (Kong et al.
2000; Abdel-Wahab et al. 2001). Such studies enabled the
identification of polyphyletic marine genera, e.g. Lignincola
and Nais (Pang et al. 2003a) and Halosarpheia (Pang et al.
2003b), supporting data for the description of new genera
(Pang et al. 2003b) and the systematic reassessment of
selected genera Torpedospora and Swampomyces (Sakayaroj
et al. 2005). It also enabled the taxonomic assignment of
known asexual marine fungi e.g. Cirrenalia, Cumulospora
and Orbimyces in the Lulworthiales (Abdel-Wahab et al.
2010). It has also helped to clarify many novel species of
marine fungi and the trend is expected to continue.

Notes—Okeanomyces marinus has a similar conidial
morphology (globose to subglobose, smooth) to Periconia
prolifica, the asexual morph of Okeanomyces cucullatus,
and Periconia abyssa. The conidiophore sets the difference
between Okeanomyces marinus and Periconia prolifica
wherein the former has conidiophores that is reduced to conidiogenous cells while the latter has hyaline erect conidiophores (5–200 × 2.5 µm) (Kohlmeyer and Kohlmeyer 1979).
Both Okeanomyces marinus and Periconia abyssa have
reduced conidiogenous cells but differ in the size of conidia
(7–13 µm vs 16–20 µm). Phylogenetic analysis shows that
they are different species in Okeanomyces (Fig. 18).

Rhamphoriopsis Réblová & Gardiennet
Réblová and Štěpánek (2018) introduced this genus with
a single species. In this study, a new species, Rhamphoriopsis sympodialis, is established based on multigene analyses
(Fig. 19). Rhamphoriopsis sympodialis is from unidentified
decaying wood in China and is the first report of this genus
in China, or even in Asia. However, are we likely to find
many more new species in the future? The taxon is from
one host and on one plant family (Buxus sempervivens,
Buxaceae). Species have now been collected in Europe and
China, and thus numerous regions have never been studied for the genus. Therefore, we believe that comprehensive studies are likely to lead to the discovery of many new
species.

sharper and sympodial conidiophores reduced to conidiogenous cells. All the taxa of Rhamphoriopsis formed
a monotypic lineage and the isolate of Rhamphoriopsis
sympodialis was in a distinct lineage within Rhamphoriopsis clade. Rhamphoriopsis sympodialis is a phylogenetically distinct species from Rhamphoriopsis muriformis
(Fig. 19).

Agaricales Underw.
Agaricales is the largest group of gilled mushrooms in the
class Agaricomycetes consisting of 38 families, 508 genera
and 17291 species (Underwood 1899; Kirk et al. 2008; He
et al. 2019).
Agaricaceae Chevall.
The modern taxonomies of the family based on evidence
of molecular data were investigated by Vellinga (2004),
Vellinga et al. (2011) and Brandon Matheny et al. (2007).
Recently, 54 genera were included in Agaricaceae (He et al.
2019).
Lepiota (Pers.) Gray
Lepiota, are commonly known as white-spored mushrooms, species are diverse worldwide and there are six sections in the genus (Vellinga 2001). There are 1515 Lepiota
epithets in Index Fungorum and 1179 accepted epithets in
Species Fungorum (2020). There are however, many synonyms and other species in related genera in lepiotaceous
fungi. He et al. (2019) accepted 450 species in Lepiota.
There are 1225 sequences of Lepiota in GenBank, but

species number is not confirmed, and some species names
are not correct. Lepiota has a saprotrophic lifestyle, they
are distributed in both temperate and tropical regions, and
fruit on humus soil, mull soil, decaying leaves and pant
material, dung and other substrates (Vellinga 2004). Phylogenetic studies of Lepiota were carried out by Vellinga
(2003) and Liang et al. (2011). Sysouphanthong et al. (2011,
2012, 2013, 2016) and Tibpromma et al. (2017) studied the
diversity, taxonomy and phylogeny of Lepiota in Northern
Thailand, and they described eight new species in the region.
We surveyed and collected six specimens of Lepiota from
Northern Thailand (Table 8) and describe two new species
in section Lilaceae.

Notes: Lepiota chiangraiensis has a hymenodermal structured pileus covering and ellipsoid to oblong ovoid basidiospores and is placed in Lepiota sect. Lilaceae (Vellinga
2001). A related species L. bengalensis from Bangladesh is
similar to L. chiangraiensis in macro characters, but differs
in its smaller basidiospores, (5.6)6–6.6(7) × 3–3.6(4) µm and
smaller basidia, 18–22(25) × 6–7(8) µm (Hosen et al. 2016).
A second species, L. ochraceofulva, a rare species from
Europe, is also similar to L. chiangraiensis in macro characters, but differs in smaller basidiospores, 5.5–7 × 3.5–4.5 µm
(Candusso and Lanzoni 1990; Vellinga 2001). A related species with brown to dark brown pilei from the same region
is L. aureofulvella, but L. aureofulvella has smaller basidiomata, a cutis structure of the pileus covering and spurred
basidiospores (Sysouphanthong et al. 2011). Lepiota sect.
Lilaceae with a hymenoderm structure of the pileus covering
is not monophyletic (Vellinga 2003, 2010). In phylogenetic
analysis based on ITS and LSU (Fig. 23a, b) L. chiangraiensis is sister to L. bengalensis and L. ochraceofulva.

Notes: This species is recognized by its brown to dark
brown squamules on the pileus and lower half of stipe,
ellipsoidal ovoid basidiospores, absence of cheilocystidia,
and pleurocystidia. According to its main character, the
species belongs to Lepiota sect. Lilaceae (Vellinga 2001).
The absence of cheilocystidia was found in some species
in Sect. Lilaceae e.g. Lepiota hymenoderma, but it differs
in larger basidiomata and absence of pleurocystidia; and L.
apatelia differs in a paler pileus with orange brown to yellow brownish squamules, absence of squamules on stipe,
and absence of pleurocystidia (Vellinga and Huijser 1998;
Vellinga 2001). Other species without cheilocystidia are L.
cristatoides and L. cystophoroides, but both species lack
pleurocystidia (Vellinga and Huijser 1998; Vellinga 2001).
In a phylogenetic analysis based on ITS (Fig. 23a) L. pleurocystidiata is sister to L. farinolens, L. sosuensis and L.
lahorensis with high bootstrap support; and a phylogenetic
analysis based on LSU (Fig. 23b) shows that L. pleurocystidia is related to L. subincarnata with low bootstrap support.
Discussion
Fungal numbers have been estimated in between 2.2–3.8
million species (Hawksworth and Lücking 2017) and yet,
even considering this large range, it is clear we are far from
providing a reliable estimate. Wijayawardene et al. (2020)
provided an outline of all Fungi and fungus-like taxa with
an estimated number of extant species for each genus. Thus,
there are approximately 100,000 extant Fungi and funguslike taxa, which is between 2.6–4.5% of the 2.2–3.8 million estimated species. There are however, numerous black
holes that impede estimates of fungal diversity that need
research answers. For example, we are still unclear as to
what exactly is a species, and have no real idea of the ratio
of fungi to each host. Hawksworth (1991) used amongst
other metrics, a ratio of about six fungal taxa to each plant,
to estimate that there were 1.5 million fungi. Recent estimates of flowering plants range from 220,000 (Mora et al.

2011) to 420,000 (Cheek et al. 2020) and following a ratio
of circa 6:1 there would be roughly 2.5 million fungi. However, almost 30 years on, we are nowhere nearer to establishing how accurate the ratio of 6:1 is. Hyde (2001) asked
the question, where are the missing fungi, as at that time the
estimated number of extant fungi was about 5% of the estimated 1.5 million species (Hawksworth 1991). Hyde (2001)
suggested that poorly studied countries and regions would
reveal many of the missing fungi and this has been true of
studies in northern Thailand (Hyde et al. 2018b).
In this paper, we provide ten case studies of genera, with
new species introduced in each. In the speciose, mainly
pathogenic genus Colletotrichum, which comprises 14 species complexes and 247 species (Jayawardena et al. 2020),
it is apparent than many more species will be revealed from
unstudied hosts. Similarly, in Pestalotiopsis, where species boundaries may be better defined, we expect many
more species to be discovered in understudied regions and
hosts (Maharachchikumbura et al. 2014; Song et al. 2014).
Several poorly studied genera (Atrocalyx, Lignosphaeria,
Okeanomyces, Rhamphoriopsis, Thyrostroma, Thozetella)
also reveal that many taxa are likely to be discovered once
we look for these genera in unstudied countries and hosts.
Even in the prominent mushrooms, such as Lepiota, we are
discovering new species. Extensive studies of Lepiota in the
last 15 years in northern Thailand, has revealed nine new and
34 extant species (Sysouphanthong et al. 2011, 2012, 2013,
2016; Tibpromma et al. 2017; Hyde et al. 2020b). Thus,
26% of Lepiota species collected in northern Thailand were
new to science. This is lower than the estimated numbers of
new Amanita (83%) and Agaricus (93%) discovered, but still
high (Hyde et al. 2018b). Collections in other, less seasonal
parts of Thailand, where it is rarely cool and much wetter,
and surrounding countries and other continents would surely
reveal numerous new taxa. The case studies illustrate we are
far from establishing whether taxa are host-specific, ubiquitous, or even common. However, each study provides a small
advance and new discoveries are plentiful. The above case
studies, however, serve to illustrate that we are nowhere near
levelling off the curve in new species discovery.

One of the most important criterion in predicting fungal numbers is whether a species is host-specific (Zhou and
Hyde 2001). Cursory evidence however, would suggest that
this is not the case, as ubiquitous fungi are often reported in
publications (Shin et al. 2004; Ortiz-Bermúdez et al. 2007;
Rosling et al. 2011). Most studies are however, from highly
disturbed areas (e.g. managed forests, grasslands, urban
parks), with very few studies in pristine forests in tropical
regions (Gilbert et al. 2002; Liu et al. 2019a). It is therefore
likely, that the fungi discovered are weedy, ubiquitous, often
visible taxa, which have adapted to these highly disturbed
habitats (Lodge 1997). One remarkable study, was that of
Fröhlich and Hyde (1999) which compared fungal communities on three individual Licuala ramsayi palms in northern
Queensland, Australia and a different Licuala species (again
three trees) in a pristine tropical rainforest in Brunei Darussalam. One-hundred fungal taxa were identified from the
palm trees in Australia and 172 taxa from the palm trees
in Brunei Darussalam. There were 30 overlapping species,
but these identifications may have been clumped as it was
not possible to resolve taxa using molecular data. If fungal
species were not mainly host or genus-specific, we question
how is it that almost totally different communities occurred
on these palm species?
13
There have been relatively few studies that have seriously
addressed whether fungi are host-specific or generalists in
pristine or relatively undisturbed forests, where most undiscovered species are thought to occur (Bills and Polishook
1994; Hyde 2001). Most studies have been the result of short
surveys or visits to tropical forests by experts concentrating
on specific groups (Hawksworth 2001, 2012). We are aware
of no long-term studies of all fungi in a specific forest. There
are several methods by which we can establish whether fungi
are host-specific. This includes the study of fungi on specific
hosts (Promputtha et al. 2002, 2004, 2017; Wang et al. 2008;
Doilom et al. 2017; Hyde et al. 2017), comparisons of fungi
on different hosts in the same forest (Parungao et al. 2002;
Paulus et al. 2006), or to establish how saprobes could be
host-specific (Chethana et al. pers. comm.). It is impossible
to address all of these topics in this paper in detail and therefore we address them briefly below.
Parungao et al. (2002) took a unique approach, examining the fungal species on ten leaves from 13 different tree
types, at two small plots in pristine tropical forests in northern Queensland. Of the 57 microfungi identified, 36 taxa
were found only on one leaf type, indicating possible hostspecificities. In another landmark study, Paulus et al. (2006)
studied the diversity of fungi on six tree species in pristine
Fungal Diversity (2020) 103:219–271
Australian tropical rainforests. Using direct observation of
fruiting bodies and particle filtrations a high level of diversity was discovered with 185 species from leaves and 419
morphotypes discovered from particle filtation, respectively.
The microfungal assemblages on leaves of the tree species
were relatively distinct, with 60% of the taxa being recorded
on a single host, and only ca 3% of taxa occurring on all tree
species. Evidence suggested that the fungal communities on
the tree species in the same family, were more similar than
those in different families. Further studies of this type, are
needed with better methodology, i.e., determining species
based on molecular data, identification of trees, more leaves
and leaves at various stages of decay, as we suspect that an
even higher diversity and less overlap would be revealed.
Another way to look at species diversity is to examine
the fungi on a single host species, genus or family. The
examples compared below include similar methodology
and identifications based on morphology and some with
molecular data. At the species level, Bills and Polishook
(1994) reported the fungi on Heliconia mariae, Promputtha
et al. (2005) on Magnolia, Doilom et al. (2017) on teak (Tectona grandis), and Thambugala et al. (2017a) on Tamarix
(Table 9). At the genus or subfamily level, relatively detailed
studies are those of Dai et al. (2017) on fungi of bamboo
(Bambusoideae, Gramineae), Phukhamsakda et al. (2020)
on Clematis (Ranunculaceae), Wanasinghe et al. (2018b)
on Rosaceae, Tibpromma et al. (2018) mostly on Pandanus
(Pandanaceae), and Bills and Polishook (1991) on Carpinus
caroliniana and results with species overlap are shown in
Table 9. The overlapping taxa on each host is low and illustrates that the fungi on the different hosts appear to be host,
genus or family specific.
Perhaps the only feasible explanation for the difference
in fungal communities found in the two Licuala palms by
Fröhlich and Hyde (1999) or different tree species by Parungao et al. (2002) and Paulus et al. (2006) is that endophytes
within a host become saprobes (Promputtha et al. 2007,
2010), or less commonly pathogens (Photita et al. 2004). The
ability for an endophyte to colonize a host may be dependent on it overcoming the hosts defenses (Chethana et al.
pers. comm.), and thus the endophytes are likely to be hostspecific to some extent. Several studies have investigated
endophytes becoming saprobes and it appears that leaves
are colonized by endophytes which become saprobes when
leaves senesce (Promputtha et al. 2007). This would account
for the differences in fungal communities on different hosts
and also account for host-specificity of saprobes. In succession studies the primary and middle colonizers appear to be
endophytes. Only the late colonizers appear to have been
derived from the environment.
In the real world, the estimates of fungal numbers
are based on taxonomically accepted species, and future
predicted novelty (Hawksworth 1991; Lücking and
257
Hawksworth 2018). However, a new era of environmental
metabarcoding have added more diversity (in terms of short
sequences) to the fungi, than since when fungi were first
formally studied until now (Lücking et al. 2020). Estimates
of fungal communities in sediments of subtropical Chinese
seas have been proposed based on DNA metabarcoding
data (Li et al. 2016b). These unnamed sequences, known
as OTU’s or dark taxa (8,608 of species hypotheses (at 1.5%
threshold) in UNITE (https ://unite .ut.ee/; Nilsson et al.
2019)) are voucher less taxa and are presently not accepted
in the International Code of Nomenclature for Algae, Fungi,
and Plants (Turland et al. 2018) which require a type. Much
discussion on the future and perils of describing taxa based
on sequences have been published (Hongsanan et al. 2018;
Thines et al. 2018). However, the diversity revealed through
metabarcoding does have some significance to fungal estimates, but at present many of the OTU’s or dark taxa are
inadequate or erroneous sequences. Thus, the methodology
must be improved and become more accurate and this is
quickly happening. Thus, back in the real world, we must
base fungal number estimates on reliable data, until metabarcoding reaches acceptable standards.
The above discussion serves to illustrate how little we
know, rather than what we know and leads to several recommendations for future research. (1) There is a need to
accurately establish what a species is, (2) there is a need
to establish how host-specific fungi are, not in highly disturbed urban areas, but in pristine or relatively undisturbed
forests. The fact that Fröhlich and Hyde (1999), Parungao
et al. (2002) and Paulus et al. (2006) found such differences
in communities on host plants, may be because the forests
were undisturbed. We need to establish if a fungal species is
specific to a plant species, genus or family or if species are
mostly ubiquitous. We have very little idea at this time and
therefore studies need to be targeted to answer this question,
and (3) there is a need to establish if species in different
continents, islands, countries or regions are different, or do
the same taxa occur worldwide?
Because data on plant/fungi relationships and global
distributions are inadequate, we are far from being able to
accurately estimate fungal species numbers. Recent studies
have shown that freshwater genera in different stream systems
comprise different species. Originally clumped as Acrogenospora sphaerotheca and Cancellidium applanatum in streams
worldwide (Bao et al. 2020; Hyde pers. comm.), these genera have been shown to comprise several species in a small
region of the world studied with morphological and molecular evidence. Thus, the diversity of lignicolous freshwater
fungi may be much higher than originally thought, but can
only be established by detailed studies. Other groups of fungi
are likely to reveal similar trends, once they are thoroughly
researched. Besides, the estimates of the insect-associated
fungi were uncertain due to the high level of uncertainty of

insect diversity (Ødegaard et al. 2000). However, the diversity of insects and insect-associated fungi could be indirectly
affected by plant diversity (Hawksworth 1998). Hence, plant
diversity may help to estimate insect-associated fungal diversity in the future (Schmit and Mueller 2007).
Returning to the title of the paper, is the species description curve flattening? The answer appears to be a resounding
No!
