Corticiales
The Corticiales are an order of fungi in the class Agaricomycetes. The order is composed of corticioid fungi. Species within the order are generally saprotrophic, most of them wood-rotters, but several are parasitic on grasses or lichens. Plant pathogens of economic importance include '' Erythricium salmonicolor'', ''Laetisaria fuciformis'', '' Waitea circinata'', '' Waitea oryzae'', and '' Waitea zeae''. Taxonomy The order was established in 2007 by Swedish mycologist Karl-Henrik Larsson, based on molecular phylogenetic research. It includes the Corticiaceae (the type family) as well as the Dendrominiaceae, Punctulariaceae, and Vuilleminiaceae. Habitat and distribution The order is cosmopolitan and contains around 150 species of fungi worldwide. The majority of species in the Corticiales are saprotrophs, most of them wood-rotters, typically found on dead attached branches. Some species of ''Laetisaria'' are facultative or obligate parasites of grasses; some species o ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Corticiaceae
The Corticiaceae are a family of fungi in the order Corticiales. The family formerly included almost all the corticioid (patch- or crust-forming) fungi, whether they were related or not, and as such was highly artificial. In its current sense, however, the name Corticiaceae is restricted to a comparatively small group of corticioid genera within the Corticiales. Taxonomy History The German mycologist Wilhelm Gustav Franz Herter first published the Corticiaceae in 1910 to accommodate species of hymenomycetes that produced basidiocarps (fruit bodies) which were effused (spread out and patch-like) and had a more or less smooth hymenophore (spore-bearing surface). Since this definition was vague, superficial, and covered a large range of unrelated fungi, the Corticiaceae, though widely adopted, were also widely recognized as an unnatural grouping. Indeed, in a 1964 survey of families, Donk considered the Corticiaceae to be "a nice example of how extremely artificial taxa can be ...

Punctulariaceae
The Punctulariaceae are a family of fungi in the order Corticiales. The family in its current sense is based on molecular research and contains just three genera of corticioid fungi. Taxonomy History The family was introduced by Dutch mycologist Marinus Anton Donk in 1964 to accommodate '' Punctularia'', a genus of corticioid fungi whose species are distinguished by forming effused basidiocarps (fruit bodies) with the hymenium (spore-bearing surface) in patches, rather than evenly distributed over the surface. Donk placed the family within the Aphyllophorales. The family was not, however, widely adopted, most mycological texts preferring to place all corticioid fungi (including '' Punctularia'' species) in the Corticiaceae. Current status Molecular research, based on cladistic analysis of DNA sequences, has resurrected and redefined the Punctulariaceae for a small clade of corticioid fungi distinct from the Corticiaceae and Vuilleminiaceae. At present, the family only contain ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Vuilleminiaceae
The Vuilleminiaceae are a family of fungi in the order Corticiales. The family in its current sense is based on molecular research and contains just three genera of temperate corticioid fungi. Taxonomy History The concept of the family was introduced by French mycologist René Maire in 1902, but the name "Vuilleminiacaeae" was not published till 1907 when Johannes Paulus Lotsy adopted Maire's concepts for his work on fungal systematics. As originally conceived, the family accommodated species within the corticioid fungi having "chiastic" basidia (basidia with nuclear spindles arranged transversely), thought to be a primitive character linking the Vuilleminiaceae with the Tulasnellaceae and the Tremellales. The family was not, however, widely adopted, most mycological texts preferring to place all corticioid fungi (including '' Vuilleminia'' species) in the Corticiaceae. The latter name was, however, not published till 1910, making the Vuilleminiaceae an earlier name for the gr ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Laetisaria
''Laetisaria'' is a genus of fungi in the family Corticiaceae. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are effused, corticioid, smooth, and grow as plant pathogens on grasses or agave leaves, or as lichenicolous fungi on lichens, or on dead wood. '' Laetisaria fuciformis'' is of economic importance as the cause of " red thread disease" in turfgrass A lawn is an area of soil-covered land planted with grasses and other durable plants such as clover which are maintained at a short height with a lawnmower (or sometimes grazing animals) and used for aesthetic and recreational purposes. ....Buczacki, S. and Harris, K., ''Pests, Diseases and Disorders of Garden Plants'', HarperCollins, 1998, p484 References Corticiales Agaricomycetes genera {{Agaricomycetes-stub ...

Waitea Circinata
''Waitea circinata'' is a species of fungus in the family Corticiaceae. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are corticioid, thin, effused, and web-like, but the fungus is more frequently encountered in its similar but sterile anamorphic state. ''Waitea circinata'' is best known as a plant pathogen, causing commercially significant damage ( brown ring patch) to amenity turf grass. Taxonomy ''Waitea circinata'' was originally described from Australia in 1962, where it was found growing on the undersides of clods of earth in a wheat field. The new genus '' Waitea'', named after the Waite Agricultural Research Institute in Adelaide, was created to accommodate the species. Because of its morphological similarity to species of ''Rhizoctonia'', ''Waitea circinata'' was presumed to belong within the Ceratobasidiaceae, but phylogenetic analysis of DNA sequences has shown that it actually belongs in the Corticiaceae and is close to species of ''Laetisaria'' (which are also grass pathogens).

Agaricomycetes
The Agaricomycetes are a class of fungi in the division Basidiomycota. The taxon is roughly identical to that defined for the Homobasidiomycetes (alternatively called holobasidiomycetes) by Hibbett & Thorn, with the inclusion of Auriculariales and Sebacinales. It includes not only mushroom-forming fungi, but also most species placed in the deprecated taxa Gasteromycetes and Homobasidiomycetes. Within the subdivision Agaricomycotina, which already excludes the smut and rust fungi, the Agaricomycetes can be further defined by the exclusion of the classes Tremellomycetes and Dacrymycetes, which are generally considered to be jelly fungi. However, a few former "jelly fungi", such as ''Auricularia'', are classified in the Agaricomycetes. According to a 2008 estimate, Agaricomycetes include 17 orders, 100 families, 1147 genera, and about 21000 species. Modern molecular phylogenetic analyses have been since used to help define several new orders in the Agaricomycetes: Amylocorticiales ...

Laetisaria Fuciformis
''Laetisaria'' is a genus of fungi in the family Corticiaceae.

Waitea Zeae
''Waitea zeae'' is a species of fungus in the family Corticiaceae. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are corticioid, thin, effused, and web-like, but the fungus is more frequently encountered in its similar but sterile anamorphic state. ''Waitea zeae'' is best known as a plant pathogen, causing commercially significant damage to cereals, grasses, and a wide range of other plants. Taxonomy ''Rhizoctonia zeae'' was originally described from Florida in 1934. It was later considered to be the anamorph (asexual state) of ''Waitea circinata''. Molecular research has, however, shown that ''Waitea circinata'' is part of a complex of at least four genetically distinct taxa, each causing visibly different diseases. These taxa were initially treated (invalidly) as varieties Variety may refer to: Arts and entertainment Entertainment formats * Variety (radio) * Variety show, in theater and television Films * ''Variety'' (1925 film), a German silent film directed by Ewald Andre Dupont * '' ...

Waitea Oryzae
''Waitea oryzae'' is a species of fungus in the family Corticiaceae. Basidiocarps (fruit bodies) are corticioid, thin, effused, and web-like, but the fungus is more frequently encountered in its similar but sterile anamorphic state. ''Waitea oryzae'' is best known as a plant pathogen, causing commercially significant leaf and sheath spots of rice and other cereals. Taxonomy ''Rhizoctonia oryzae'' was originally described on ''Oryza sativa'' (rice) from Louisiana in 1938, but was invalidly published. It was later considered to be the anamorph (asexual state) of ''Waitea circinata''.
