A new species of Memnoniella (Hypocreales, Stachybotryaceae) is described from decaying petioles of the subtropical giant fern Angiopteris lygodiifolia (Marattiales) from central Taiwan. The morphology of this fungus is described from the natural substrate and culture, based on light and scanning electron microscopy. The species is phylogenetically most closely related to M. dichroa, M. celtidis, M. oenanthes, and M. sinensis, which is supported by ITS, RPB2, TEF, and TUB sequence analysis. The new species M. pseudodichroa differs from those species by its longer conidia exceeding 13 µm. The misconception in the literature about collarettes on the conidiogenous cells in this genus is corrected.

A study was conducted to investigate saprobic fungal niches of Stachybotryaceae (Hypocreales) associated with leaves of Musa (banana) in China and Thailand. Three hyphomycetous taxa were collected during the dry season of 2018 and 2019. After a careful phenotypic characterization (both macro- and microscopically) and a phylogenetic tree reconstruction using a concatenated sequence dataset of internal transcribed spacer (ITS), calmodulin (cmdA), RNA polymerase II second largest subunit (rpb2), β-tubulin (tub2), and the translation elongation factor 1-alpha (tef1) gene regions, we report three species of Stachybotryaceae. Stachybotrys musae is introduced as a novel taxon from Yunnan, China, while S.microsporus is reported from Chiang Rai Province in Thailand on Musa. In addition, Memnoniella levispora is also reported from China for the first time.

... One organism from the MCE subset of the above strain library was selected for further study in part because the morphology of the producing organism separated it from typically studied genera of fungal natural product producers. Upon close examination of the literature, it was determined that the morphology of strain NBUF082 matched what was described for the genus Cymostachys when it was established in recent reports, and it was also conclusively identified as a Cymostachys sp. by the ITS region sequence of this organism (Lin et al., 2016;Lombard et al., 2016). Although Cymostachys is closely related to the genus Stachybotrys, only the latter has been extensively studied for its natural product chemistry (Wang et al., 2015;Zhao et al., 2017;Jagels et al., 2019;Zheng et al., 2019). ...

Mesophotic coral ecosystems (MCEs) have complex but understudied biodiversity, especially for natural products discovery. Untargeted metabolomics research on 80 extracts prepared from marine sponge-associated fungi, half from shallow reefs (<30 m) and half from MCEs (30–150 m), facilitated prioritization for further study a Cymostachys fungus from a 103 m deep Aaptos sponge. LC-MS target-directed isolation yielded a series of new compounds, cymopolyphenols A−F (1–6), and two known phenylspirodrimanes, F1839-I (7) and stachybotrylactone (8). This is the first report of natural products from the recently described genus, Cymostachys. Compounds 1–6 and 8 contain a dihydroisobenzofuran moiety, and 4–6 are low-order polymers of 1 with novel scaffolds. The structures of the compounds were established by spectroscopic and spectrometric data interpretation, with further support from X-ray crystallography studies of 3 and 4. Compound 3 undergoes facile racemization in solution and was found to crystalize as a racemic mixture. Compound 5 was also obtained in racemic form, and after chiral chromatography, both separated enantiomers racemized in solution by a presumed keto-enol tautomerization. Compounds 1 and 3–6 were found to be weakly antimicrobial (MIC 16–64 μg/ml) in vitro against several Gram-positive and Gram-negative human or aquatic pathogens, compound 5 was shown to chelate iron in vitro at 10 μM, and 8 activated plant disease resistance in vivo in a transgenic model organism.

This article provides morphological descriptions and illustrations of microfungi associated with the invasive weed, Chromolaena odorata, which were mainly collected in northern Thailand. Seventy-seven taxa distributed in ten orders, 23 families (of which Neomassarinaceae is new), 12 new genera (Chromolaenicola, Chromolaenomyces, Longiappendispora, Pseudocapulatispora, Murichromolaenicola, Neoophiobolus, Paraleptospora, Pseudoroussoella, Pseudostaurosphaeria, Pseudothyridariella, Setoarthopyrenia, Xenoroussoella), 47 new species (Aplosporella chromolaenae, Arthrinium chromolaenae, Chromolaenicola chiangraiensis, C. lampangensis, C. nanensis, C. thailandensis, Chromolaenomyces appendiculatus, Diaporthe chromolaenae, Didymella chromolaenae, Dyfrolomyces chromolaenae, Leptospora chromolaenae, L. phraeana, Longiappendispora chromolaenae, Memnoniella chromolaenae, Montagnula chiangraiensis, M. chromolaenae, M. chromolaenicola, M. thailandica, Murichromolaenicola chiangraiensis, M. chromolaenae, Muyocopron chromolaenae, M. chromolaenicola, Neomassarina chromolaenae, Neoophiobolus chromolaenae, Neopyrenochaeta chiangraiensis, N. chromolaenae, N. thailandica, N. triseptatispora, Nigrograna chromolaenae, Nothophoma chromolaenae, Paraleptospora chromolaenae, P. chromolaenicola, Patellaria chromolaenae, Pseudocapulatispora longiappendiculata, Pseudoroussoella chromolaenae, Pseudostaurosphaeria chromolaenae, P. chromolaenicola, Pseudothyridariella chromolaenae, Pyrenochaetopsis chromolaenae, Rhytidhysteron chromolaenae, Setoarthopyrenia chromolaenae, Sphaeropsis chromolaenicola, Tremateia chiangraiensis, T. chromolaenae, T. thailandensis, Xenoroussoella triseptata, Yunnanensis chromolaenae), 12 new host records, three new taxonomic combinations (Chromolaenicola siamensis, Pseudoroussoella elaeicola, Pseudothyridariella mahakashae), and two reference specimens (Torula chromolaenae, T. fici) are described and illustrated. Unlike some other hosts, e.g. bamboo (Poaceae) and Pandanaceae, the dominant group of fungi on Siam weed were Dothideomycetes. Only 15 species previously recorded from northern Thailand were found in this study. Most of the taxa are likely to have jumped hosts from surrounding plants and are unlikely to be a specialist to Siam weed. Most fungal families found on Siam weed had divergence estimates with stem ages in the Cretaceous, which coincided with the expected origin of the host family (Asteraceae). This further indicates that the species have jumped hosts, as it is unlikely that the taxa on the alien Siam weed came from the Americas with its host. They may, however, have jumped from other Asteraceae hosts. In a preliminary screening 40 (65%) of the 62 species tested showed antimicrobial activity and thus, the fungi associated with C. odorata may be promising sources of novel bioactive compound discovery. We provide a checklist of fungi associated with C. odorata based on the USDA Systematic Mycology and Microbiology Laboratory (SMML) database, relevant literature and our study. In total, 130 taxa (116 identified and 14 unidentified species) are distributed in 20 orders, 48 families and 85 genera. Pseudocercospora is the most commonly encountered genus on Siam weed.

During a survey of fungal diversity in a deserted rocky area in Yunnan, PR China, a new species, Memnoniella sinensis, was identified. This new species is characterized by having phialidic conidiogenous cells with conspicuous collarettes, and aseptate, verrucose, ellipsoidal to sometimes ovoid, olivaceous brown to dark brown conidia. Morphologically, M. sinensis is similar to M. dichroa, but can be easily distinguished due to its hyaline conidiophores and smaller conidia. Phylogenetic analysis based on DNA sequences at five loci showed that our strain grouped together with M. dichroa and M. oenanthes. Here, the new species is described and illustrated, and a key to the species of the genus Memnoniella is provided.

Forest soils contain relatively high levels of fungal diversity compared to other soil types and are primarily comprised of pathogens, saprobes or mutualists. This study was conducted to investigate the fungal diversity of mixed deciduous forest soils in Thailand. Fungi were isolated using a dilution plate method and are illustrated, described and subjected to combined phylogenetic analyses (maximum likelihood and Bayesian analyses). We herewith report Beltraniella fertilis and Stachybotrys subcylindrospora for the first time from mixed deciduous forest soils of northern Thailand.
