Nigrograna andamanica sp. nov. from mangroves of Andaman Islands, India and keys for delineation of different species of Nigrograna
摘要
Mangrove environments are insufficiently explored for fungal diversity in many parts of the globe. We sampled decaying materials of Lumnitzera littorea and Derris scandens, in mangroves of the Andaman and Nicobar Islands and encountered a novel Nigrograna species, described here as Nigrograna andamanica based on morphological characters and phylogenetic analyses. We also compiled dichotomous and synoptic keys allowing identification of the so far described Nigrograna species.
