Etymology. Named to honour Dr Arthur Kelman, Emeritus Professor at the Department of Plant Pathology, North Carolina State University, USA and mentor of Jorge and Gloria Abad during their work at NCSU. Arthur Kelman (11 Dec. 1918 -29 June 2009) was one of the most influential plant pathologists of the twentieth century. He was a member of the National Academy of Sciences for his pioneering contributions to the study of phytobacteriology and received numerous awards including Fellow of the International Society of Plant Pathology, American Phytopathological Society, the American Association for the Advancement of Science and the American Academy of Microbiology.
g. , P. rimulincola and P. siquieri (Salom & Esteve-Raventós 2011), but differs in KOH-soluble pigment, not encrusted cheilocystidia and smaller spores. This new species represents the smallest member of the genus next to P. minutula (pileus 2 -6 mm diam), which differs in more persistent veil, broader cheilocystidia (4 -7 μm) and growth on living bark of Populus (Smith & Hesler 1968). Based on a megablast search of NCBIs GenBank nucleotide database, the closest hits using the ITS sequence of BRA CR33236 were P. croceosanguinea (strain TFB8631, Gen-Bank KY559341; Identities = 540/583 (92 %), 16 gaps (2%)), P. flammea (AFTOL-ID 1381, GenBank DQ494685; Identities = 507/578 (88 %), 26 gaps (4 %)) and P. praestans (PBM3461, GenBank HQ832450; Identities = 519/597 (87 %), 36 gaps (6 %)). Closest hits using the LSU sequence of BRA CR33236 are P.

Nodes were annotated if supported by ≥ 0. 95 Bayesian PP (left) or ≥ 70 % ML BP (right). Notes -Russula quintanensis differs from other sequestrate species of Russula because of its angiocarpic (gasteroid) basidiomata, loculated gleba without a columella, and its ellipsoid spores 8. 5 × 6. 5 µm on average (Q = 1. 4) ornamented with very small warts 0. 1-0. 2 µm high that sometimes coalesce forming small ridges. The closest matches in public databases to the LSU and rpb2 sequences obtained come from specimens identified as R.
Supplementary material FP1274-1 Phylogenetic tree derived from a Bayesian analysis based on a combined dataset comprising ITS and LSU sequences. The data was analysed using Bayesian inference (BI) and Maximum likelihood (ML). Bayesian phylogenetic inference was calculated with MrBayes v. Classification -Insertae sedis, Saccharomycetales, Saccharomycetes. After 7 d at 25 °C in 4 % glucose broth, the cells are subglobose to globose, 3-5. 8 × 2. 9-5. 2 µm, occurring singly or in clusters. A thin sediment and a ring are present. Asexual reproduction occurs by multilateral budding, but with the majority of cells having a single bud on a broad base. Short chains of adhering yeast cells may be present. On malt extract, yeast extract agar (MEA) yeast cells have a similar morphology and are ellipsoid, broadly ellipsoid, subglobose, and usually with one conspicuous vacuole.

Glynou, P6086 (holotype and culture ex-type permanently preserved in a metabolically inactive state CBS 147114, ITS, LSU and tef1 sequences GenBank KT270279, MW659165 and MW659821, MycoBank MB 839006). Notes -Tetraploa species are characterised by distinct, brown, smooth or verrucose conidia composed of four columns of 2-6 cells, each one terminating in a septate, setiform appendage that tend to diverge apically from one another and are borne on monoblastic conidiogenous cells (Ellis 1971, Whitton  et al. 2012). They are linked to massarina-like sexual morphs and are currently placed in their own pleosporalean family, Tetraplosphaeriaceae, along with other genera having appendiculate, tetraploa-like asexual morphs (Tanaka et al.
2019). Tubaria vulcanica is characterised by its smooth, amygdaliform to ellipsoid spores, and lageniform to tibiiform cheilocystidia. Its basidiomes were found growing directly on volcanic lapilli material used for gardening or pavement in the Canary Islands. Following Bon (1992), T. vulcanica could be included in sect. Pallidosporae because of its lamellae of pallid colour when young, and thin walled, amygdaliform and not pigmented spores. Its LSU rDNA sequence is close to one identified as Tubaria albostipitata (GenBank EF051051, 98. 24 % similar), but the new species has a differently coloured stipe, larger spores and cheilocystidia, and pileipellis with much broader elements. ITS rDNA is 97. 55 % similar to one sequence obtained from forest soil litter in Arkansas, USA (GenBank MK234224) and rpb2 is 84 % similar to several undetermined sequences of Tubaria sp.

Named after Alessandra Zambonelli, from the University of Bologna, mycologist and specialist in hypogeous fungi and mycorrhizae, for her outstanding contribution to the knowledge of Tuber spp. Classification -Tuberaceae, Pezizales, Pezizomycetes. Ascomata hypogeous, 0. 5-2 cm diam, subglobose, pale brown, smooth, minutely pruinose. Peridium 100-200(-300) μm thick, composed of hyaline, agglutinated, interwoven hyphae (intricate texture). Gleba firm, solid, whitish at first, becoming pale to dark brown at maturity, marbled with numerous, branching, white and dark veins. Odour pleasant. Asci inamyloid, 60-70 × 40-50 μm excluding stalk, pyriform to clavate or subglobose, with a long or short stalk arising from a crozier, 10-40 μm long, walls 1-2 μm thick, 1-4(-5)-spored.
The sequences obtained in the present study are highlighted in bold and the novel species with a coloured box. Bootstrap support values (≥ 70 %) are indicated at the nodes. Tuber spinoreticulatum (GenBank FJ748914) was used as outgroup. The scale bar indicates the expected changes per site. Species hypotheses for undescribed species (Tuber sp. followed by numbers) follow the conventions of Bonito et al. (2010). Notes -Tuber zambonelliae is a pale brown truffle that clusters in the rufum clade, and is characterised by its smooth peridium, brown gleba marbled with white and dark veins and spiny-reticulate spores. Tuber zambonelliae resembles Tuber nitidum, but in addition to genetic differences, T. nitidum differs by having a basal cavity, peridium with cellular structure in the outermost layer and smaller spores with separate and shorter spines (Ceruti et al.

The tub2 sequences of CPC 29619, 29620, 29621 and 29622 are identical (648/648 (100 %)). The identification of Telamonia s. lat. species has been always complex, as reflected by Bidaud et al. (2009: 1268), Garrido-Benavent et al. (2014), Brandrud et al. (2017) and Ballarà et al. (2017), due to the large number of subtle and/or overlapping characters among species.

The alignment was performed with ClustalW and the Tamura-Nei model was used for the phylogenetic analysis (Tamura & Nei 1993). Bootstrap support values are indicated at the nodes. The original analysis involved 66 nucleotide sequences, 21 of them are implemented in the subtree. There were a total of 700 positions in the final dataset.

Pseudosydowia currently contains two species, P. eucalypti (Thambugala et al. 2014) and P. eucalyptorum (Crous et al. 2019c), which were both first discovered and described from the surfaces of Eucalyptus leaves in South Africa and Australia, respectively. The four novel species described share similar conidial morphological characteristics and were all isolated from myrtaceous host plants. All six species of Pseudosydowia can be distinguished based on ITS sequence data.

spartii (GenBank KM557160. 1). However, C. spartii is saprobic on Spartium junceum and has smaller ascocarps(Crous et al. 2014b). The main morphological difference between C. antarctica and C. compressa is in the number of ascospore septa. Comoclathris antarctica has 6 -8 transverse septa while ascospores of C. compressa only have three septa(Shoemaker & Babcock 1992). Comoclathris antarctica is the most similar to C. arctica based on morphology. However, C. arctica has much smaller ascocarps (~ 200 µm diam) and larger asci, being up to 120 µm long(Shoemaker & Babcock 1992).
