CHRYSOSPORIUM AND SOME OTHER ALEURIOSPORIC HYPHOMYCETES

TLDR

No background link is provided. The study proposes a revised classification and nomenclature for molds producing hyaline, single‑cellular aleuriospores. The authors provide a key, detailed descriptions, and illustrations of Chrysosporium species. They revived Chrysosporium Corda, synonymized numerous genera under Chrysosporium, and proposed new species, combinations, and a new name within the genus.

Abstract

A revised classification and nomenclature is proposed for some molds which produce hyaline, single-celled aleuriospores. Chrysosporium Corda is revived as a suitable genus for fungi which have been referred to Aleurisma Auct. non Link. Blastomyces, Emmonsia, Geomyces, Gilchristia, Glenosporella, Myceliophthora, and Zymonema are placed in synonymy under Chrysosporium. The typification and status of the following genera is discussed: Acladium, Aleurisma, Allescheriella, Bactridiopsis, Balanium, Blastomycoides, Botryotrichum, Chlamydomyces, Coccospora, Glenospora, Glenosporopsis, Histoplasma, Humicola, Mammaria, Monosporium, Monotospora, Myceliophthora, Mycogone, Oidium, Paracoccidioides, Rhinocladium, Scedosporium, Sepedonium, Sporothrix, Sporotrichum, Stephanoma, and Trichophyton.Chrysosporium asperatum and C. tropicum are proposed as new species. Six new combinations and one new name are proposed in Chrysosporium. One new combination is proposed in Paecilomyces. A key to the species of Chrysosporium is included as well as descriptions and illustrations of the species.
