Cabero (JC130818BT, ITS sequence GenBank ON009055). Notes -Terfezia bertae differs from all other species of Ter fezia because of its ecology, being linked with broadleaved trees (instead of Cistaceae or Pinaceae) in acidic soils, sporulating in summer (instead of spring), and the presence of irregular fuzzy dark fertile pockets in the gleba.
Chlamydospores absent. Culture characteristics -Colonies on (PDA) growing under 12 h ultraviolet light / 12 h dark cycle reach 6 cm diam after 4 wk at 23 °C, with sparse aerial mycelium. Colony pale violet becoming paler towards the irregularly filamentous margin, surface of colony with irregularly branched radial strands, reverse similar to the upper surface. Typus. australia, Queensland, Toolara, from stem canker of Araucaria cunninghamii (Auracariaceae), 19 Mar. 2015, M. Ramsden (holotype BRIP 62306a, preserved in a metabolically inactive state; culture ex-type BRIP 62306a; LSU, ITS, rpb2, tef1 and tub2 sequences GenBank OL330777, OL330776, OL332733, OL332732 and OL332734; MycoBank MB 843258). Notes -Fusarium ramsdenii is phylogenetically related to members of the Fusarium lateritium species complex.
Fusarium ramsdenii differs from F. lateritium sensu  Geiser et al. (2005)  by sequence comparison of rpb2 (GenBank JX171571. 1; Identities 842/859 (98 %)) and tef1 (GenBank AY707173. 1; Identities 613/ 632 (97 %)). Several species, F. oxysporum, F. robustum and F. solani (= Neocosmospora solani ), have been isolated from Araucaria spp. in Argentina  (Gerlach 1977)  and Australia  (Kamara et al. 1981). The identity of these isolates was not determined by molecular methods. Colonies of F. ramsdenii produced microconidia and a violet pigment, which differed from F. lateritium as described by  Gerlach & Nirenberg (1982). Araucaria cunninghamii seedlings with sunken stem cankers girdling the main stem about 3 cm above the soil line were found in about 1 % of plants in a production nursery in 2014.

No chlamydospores were observed in A. rouenensis, while these structures were observed in A. salinarum and A. salisburgensis cultures. Aspergillus baarnensis, A. loretensis and A. salinarum are strict halophiles (unable to grow in medium without NaCl) in contrast to A.
Newbrunswickomyces abietophilus Crous & Malloch MycoBank MB 844263. Notes -Newbrunswickomyces abietophilus is phylogene- tically closely related to Phialea strobilina (CBS 643. 85), which has Chalara strobilina as asexual morph (Gams & Philippi 1992), and is thus morphologically quite distinct. Although fu- ture research might resolve Newbrunswickomyces as asexual morph for one of the known sexual genera in Pezizales, we have been unable to resolve this question and have therefore chosen to name it in a new genus. Based on a megablast search of NCBIs GenBank nucleotide database, the closest hits using the ITS sequence had highest similarity to Phialea strobilina (strain CBS 643. 85, GenBank EF596821. 1; Identities = 513/551 (93 %), nine gaps (1 %)), Scle ropezicula alnicola (strain CBS 200.
