Paramonodictys N.G. Liu, K.D. Hyde & J.K. Liu

Index Fungorum number: IF557092; Facesoffungi number: FoF 06709

 

Saprobic on decaying wood. Sexual morph Undetermined. Asexual morph Hyphomycetous. Colonies on natural substrate superficial, effuse, scattered, solitary, black. Mycelium partly immersed, partly superficial, composed of brown, branched, septate hyphae. Stroma present, erumpent, erect, subcylindrical or truncated-cone-form, pale brown to olivaceous brown. Conidiophores absent. Conidiogenous cells monoblastic. Conidia solitary, dictyosporous, muriform, globose or subglobose, olivaceous brown to dark brown, broadly rounded at apex, sometimes subtruncate at base. (Descriptions from Hyde et al. 2020)

 

Type species: Paramonodictys solitarius N.G. Liu, K.D. Hyde & J.K. Liu

 

Notes: Hughes (1958) introduced the polyphyletic genus Monodictys which presently reside in three ascomycete classes, Dothideomycetes, Leotiomycetes, and Sordariomycetes (Tanaka et al. 2015). Since the sequence data of type species M. putredinis (Wallr.) S. Hughes is unavailable, the phylogenetic placement of Monodictys sensu stricto could not be clarified. However, our collection differs from M. putredinis in having a stroma (Ellis 1971). Therefore, we introduce our collection as a new genus to avoid taxonomic confusion for Monodictys. (Notes from Hyde et al. 2020)
