Cladobotryum semicirculare sp. nov. (Hyphomycetes) from commercially grown Ganoderma tsugae in Taiwan and other Basidiomycota in Cuba

Kirschner R., Arnold G. R. W. & Chen C.-J. (2007) Cladobotryum semicirculare sp. nov. (Hyphomycetes) from commercially grown Ganoderma tsugae in Taiwan and other Basidiomycota in Cuba.

Sydowia 59 (1): 114 - 124.

Cladobotryum semicirculare sp. nov. stopping growth and development of basidiomata of Ganoderma tsugae in a Taiwanese mushroom farm was also isolated from a polypore and an agaric in Cuba. The species differs from other species in the genus by strongly curved, 0-3-septate conidia. This species concept is supported by an analysis of partial LSU rDNA sequences from three strains of the new species and other species of Cladobotryum and Hypomyces (Ascomycota, Hypocreales).
