Abstract

Mycological Research News features : Straminipila, a new kingdom name for oomycete fungi; and Fungi from coral reefs (addendum).

This issue starts with a major review of fungal siderophores, and includes 12 other papers. Molecular papers address phylogeny and (or) infraspecific variation in Alternaria spp. (associated with apple core rot), Botrytis cinerea, Fusarium sp. (on lichens), Alternaria spp., Phaeoacremonium (including grapevine disease agent), Pycnoporus spp., and Verticillium fungicola, and, further heavily melanized variants of Gaemannomyces graminis var. tritici. Cell-wall polysaccharides show Cephalotheca to be polyphyletic in this feature.

Also investigated are the degradative properties of a lichenicolus Fusarium sp. zoospore and cyst membrance proteins in Phytophthora nicotianae, and phosphatase activities of an arbuscular mycorhizal fungus.

Revisions including keys are presented for Lichenostigma subgen. Lichenogramma (Arthoniales) and the British species of Tazzetta (Pezizales).

The following new scientific names are introduced: Lichenostigma diploiciae, L. epipolina, L. gracilis, L. rouxii and L. subradians spp. nov.; and Tazzetta scotica (syn. Pustularia scotica) comb. nov.
