Chaetophiophoma sorbi
Chaetophiophoma sorbi W.J. Li, Camporesi & K.D. Hyde, sp. nov.
Index Fungorum number: IF557141
Etymology: Named after the host genus, Sorbus
Saprobic on dead stems of Sorbus aucuparia (Rosaceae), forming numerous, conspicuous rounded, black, conidiomata. Sexual morph: undetermined. Asexual morph: Conidiomata 200–250 µm diam., 250–300 µm high, black, scattered to gregarious or confluent, pycnidial, immersed to semi-immersed, subglobose, unilocular, glabrous, thick-walled, smooth, papillate. Conidiomata wall 20–1000 µm thick, composed of thick-walled, hyaline to pale brown cells of textura angularis. Conidiophores arising from the inner layers of pycnidium, hyaline, repeatedly branched at the base and above, often fasciculate, septate in association with branches, with acropleurogenous conidia. Conidiogenous cells 8–30 × 1.5–3 µm, hyaline, enteroblastic, phialidic, cylindrical, indeterminate, integrated or discrete, thin-walled, smooth, with collarette and narrow channel. Conidia 13–17 × 2–4 µm (x= 15 × 3 µm; n = 30), hyaline, fusiform to falcate, aseptate, thick-walled, smooth, guttulate.
