Pleurotheciella is a genus of terrestrial and freshwater fungi in the family Pleurotheciaceae and the order Pleurotheciales, within the subclass Savoryellomycetidae.[2][3]


in the monotypic family Conioscyphaceae and the monotypic order Conioscyphales.[3] They are found on decayed wood, leaves, or bamboo stems.[4] Except for Conioscypha japonica which was isolated from dog skin fragments and hair in 2017.[5]

History edit

Austrian mycologist and lichenologist Franz Xaver Rudolf von Höhnel (1852–1920) in 1904, created the genus Conioscypha with Conioscypha lignicola Höhn. as the generic type, which was found on submerged wood of Carpinus sp. in Austria.[6]

Index Fungorum number: IF 564282; 11 species with sequence data.

Saprobic on aquatic plant tissues. Sexual morph: Perithecia nonstromatic, grouped or solitary, venter superficial to semi-immersed, subglobose, dark brown, glabrous, slightly rough surface, ostiolate, papillate. Ostioles periphysate. Peridium leathery to fragile, two-layered, outer layer made up of brown to dark brown cells, inner layer composed of hyaline to pale brown cells. Paraphyses numerous, septate, hyaline, tapering distally, longer than the asci. Asci 8-spored, unitunicate, cylindrical-clavate, short-pedicellate, with J- apical ring. Ascospores hyaline to subhyaline, ellipsoidal-fusiform, septate, lacking appendages or mucilaginous sheath. Asexual morph: Conidiophores macronematous, mononematous, subhyaline or hyaline, sparingly branched or unbranched, septate, often reduced to conidiogenous cells. Conidiogenous cells subhyaline to hyaline, integrated, terminal or intercalary, usually polyblastic, often extending sympodially, denticulate. Conidia hyaline, ellipsoidal to obovoidal or clavate, subcylindrical to fusiform, aseptate to multi-septate, smooth-walled (adapted from Réblová et al. 2012, Luo et al. 2019).[7]

Notes: Pleurotheciella was established by Réblová et al. (2012) with a dactylaria-like asexual morph. The genus is characterised by unbranched to sparingly branched, septate conidiophores, integrated conidiogenous cells with denticles and ellipsoidal to clavate, hyaline, 0–several-septate conidia (Réblová et al. 2012) (notes from Hyde et al. 2020).
