Abstract

A molecular and morphological investigation of 35 collections of Daldinia from 11 plant species revealed five taxonomic entities of Daldinia in northern Europe. These include Daldinia concentrica, D. cf. fissa, D. grandis, D. loculata and D. cf. petriniae. D. cf. fissa, D. grandis and D. loculata were found exclusively on burnt wood, but they do not form a monophyletic unit in a phylogenetic tree derived from analysis of the ITS sequence of the ribosomal DNA.
