Manglicola

ManglicolaKohlm. & E. Kohlm., Mycologia 63(4): 840 (1971).

Index Fungorum number: IF 2995;Facesoffungi number: FoF 07692, 1 morphological species (Species Fungorum 2022), 1 species with molecular data.

Saprobic on submerged wood.Sexual morph:Ascomata solitary or gregarious, erumpent, become superficial with base remaining immersed, subglobose, obpyriform or almost conical, hyaline and then metallic grey, coriaceous, with ostiolate papilla, with algal associations.Peridium comprising several layers of relatively large, hyaline, thin-walled, angular cells and covered with sparse hyaline hairs.Pseudoparaphyses numerous, trabeculate, filamentous, hyaline, septate, unbranched between the asci, branching and anastomosing above.Asci 8-spored, bitunicate, fissitunicate, obclavate, pedicellate, with an ocular chamber and faint ring.Ascosporesbi- to tri-seriate near the base, overlapping uniseriate near the apex, l-septate, light brown, ellipsoid fusiform, surrounded by a mucilaginous sheath, which is wavy in outline.Asexual morph: Unknown (adapted fromHongsanan et al. 2020b).

 Type species:Manglicola guatemalensisKohlm. & E. Kohlm.

Notes:Manglicola is characterised by solitary or gregarious, erumpent ascomata, obclavate, pedicellate asci with an ocular chamber and faint ring, anduniseptate, light brown, ellipsoid fusiform ascospores surrounded by a mucilaginous sheath.Huhndorf(1994) treated Manglicola inHypsostromataceae orderincertae sedis based on its superficial, large, elongate ascomata, trabeculate pseudoparaphyses, long pedicellate asci attached in a basal arrangement in the centrum and fusiform, septate ascospores. In the phylogenetic analyses ofSuetrong et al. (2010), (2011) and Hyde et al. (2013),Manglicola formed a distinct clade in the order Jahnulales, distant fromHypsostroma which belongs to Pleosporales with high statistical support (Hyde et al. 2013). The second speciesM. samuelsii was added byHuhndorf (1994) but the placement of this species inManglicola is doubtful due to lack of molecular data.Manglicola is a distinct genus accommodated in its own familyManglicolaceae. LSU and SSU DNA sequence ofM. guatemalensis are available in GenBank.
