Striatodecospora gen. nov. from bamboo in Hong Kong

Abstract

From collections of fungi on bamboo in Hong Kong, we identified an interesting, new taxon. The fungus has affinities with Spirodecospora, but differs in that it lacks the verrucose ascospores with spiral wall ornamentation and the surrounding fibrillar sheath of Spirodecospora. Striatodecospora gen. nov. is described and illustrated to accommodate this taxon.
