Taxonomy and Phylogeny of Novel and Extant Taxa in Pleosporales Associated with Mangifera indica from Yunnan, China (Series I).

Pleosporales is the largest fungal order with a worldwide distribution in terrestrial and aquatic environments. During investigations of saprobic fungi associated with mango ( Mangifera indica ) in Baoshan and Honghe, Yunnan, China, fungal taxa belonging to pleosporales were collected. Morphological examinations and phylogenetic analyses of ITS, LSU, SSU, rpb2 and tef1 - α loci were used to identify the fungal taxa. A new genus, Mangifericomes ; four new species, namely Mangifericomes hongheensis , Neomassaria hongheensis , Paramonodictys hongheensis , and Paramonodictys yunnanensis ; and six new host and country records, namely Byssosphaeria siamensis , Crassiparies quadrisporus , Paradictyoarthrinium aquatica , Phaeoseptum mali , Torula fici , and Vaginatispora amygdali , are introduced. Photoplates, full descriptions, and phylogenetic trees to show the placement of new and known taxa are provided.
