Morpho-Molecular Characterization of Memnoniella longistipitata (Hypocreales, Stachybotryaceae) - A New Addition to Fungi of India
摘要
During the microfungal survey in various forest areas of Pushpagiri Wildlife Sanctuary, Karnataka, the authors collected specimens of Memnoniella. After a detailed morpho-molecular analysis, the species was identified as Memnoniella longistipitata, whose type species was reported by D.W. Li, Chin S. Yang, Vesper & Haugland in 2003 from Japan and later on it was reported from Malawi and Thailand. This study provides a comprehensive account of M. longistipitata with detailed morphological description and multi-gene (ITS + β-tub) phylogenetic analysis, and reports it for the first time from India.
