Eriomyces

Eriomyces Huanraluek, Thambugala & K.D. Hyde in Hyde et al., Fungal Diversity 100: 146 (2020).

Index Fungorum number: IF 556538; Facesoffungi number: FoF 06151, 1 morphological species (Species Fungorum 2022), 1 species with molecular data.

Saprobic on dead twigs of Hevea brasiliensis in terrestrial, lowland to montane tropical to habitats. Sexual morph: Ascomata scattered to somewhat aggregate, immersed to erumpent, brown-black to greyish black, applanately wart-shaped to drop-shaped or angular, ostiolate, ostiole more or less eccentric, with periphyses. Involucrellum present apically, dark brown to carbonized, paraplectenchymatous in thin sections. Excipulum prosoplectenchymatous, hyaline to pale brown. Hamathecium comprising 1–3 µm wide, branched cellular pseudoparaphyses. Asci polyspored, bitunicate, fissitunicate, clavate, long-pedicellate, with indistinct tholus and ocular chamber. Ascospores densely arranged, oblong, sometimes slightly curved, hyaline, aseptate, smooth-walled. Asexual morph: Unknown (adapted from Hyde et al. 2020).

 Type species: Eriomyces heveae Huanraluek, Thambugala & K.D. Hyde

Notes: Eriomyces is characterised by immersed to erumpent ascomata, polyspored, clavate asci and densely arranged, oblong, hyaline, aseptate ascospores. Hyde et al. (2020) mentioned that Eriomyces has irregular shaped ascomata with irregularly excentric ostiole. Eriomyces is a distinct and well-supported genus in Eriomycetaceae. Molecular data available for Eriomyces are ITS, LSU and SSU.
